Kornati Odyssey Croatia Cruise
Itinerary – Šibenik – Šibenik (8 days)

DAY 1: WELCOME TO ŠIBENIK!

Welcome to Croatia! Transfer from Split airport to Šibenik harbour where you will be welcomed by our cruise representative. Check-in starts from 13:00 hrs and we depart around 16:00 hrs for Skradin, the medieval town where the sea and river become one. Cruising down the Krka river canyon, discover its raw beauty and see why it hosts one of the most beautiful national parks in Croatia. Skradin is a romantic Dalmatian town with narrow paved stone streets and passages that will make you enjoy every step you take there. The Welcome Dinner will be served in the evening aboard the ship and your cruise manager will introduce you to the entire crew.
For late arrivals, the airport transfer can be organized directly to Skradin to join the ship there.

Meals (WD)

DAY 2: SKRADIN – ZADAR

Early in the morning, we set sail for Zadar, one of the oldest inhabited towns in the region and the historic capital of Dalmatia since Roman times. This is a town that does not mind exploring new art forms and ideas to enrich its extraordinary setting and complement its grand physique. Zadar is both a peaceful community and a dynamic modern centre that greets everyone with open arms and leaves a lasting mark on every enamoured visitor! You’ll have time for a swim stop along the way and lunch is served on board as we sail towards Zadar. After arrival in the late afternoon, join us for a walking tour of Zadar’s historical centre and admire the old walls and Port Gate, Square of the Five Wells, the Church of St. Donat, and the unavoidable Sea Organ.

DAY 3: ZADAR – TELAŠĆICA

Early in the morning we set sail to National Park Kornati and the Telašćica Bay located in the central part of the eastern Adriatic Sea, and on the south-eastern part of the island of Dugi Otok. We take a swim stop along the way and lunch is served while sailing. Known for its extreme beauty, richness in flora and fauna and importance in preservation efforts, this bay surrounded by 13 islands and islets, together with 6 islets inside the bay itself, was proclaimed a protected Nature Park in 1988. Not surprising, due to its valuable flora and fauna, geological and geomorphological phenomena, versatile sea life, and interesting archaeological heritage that you are sure to appreciate. This evening you are invited to the Captain’s Dinner on board the ship.

Upon arrival you will have free time to explore this small and picturesque town and its old town and enjoy one of its beautiful sunsets.

DAY 5: PRIMOŠTEN – HVAR

Early in the morning we set sail to Hvar, the longest island in Croatia, the sunniest in all Europe (2724 sunny hours each year) and undeniably among the most beautiful islands in the world. There will be a swim stop along the way and lunch is served during sailing. Upon arrival, join the guided tour of Hvar and learn why this amazing town is a must-see on the historical map of Croatia. Later in the afternoon we will visit the UNESCO protected Stari Grad Plain, where you will have the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful sunset and the traditional local products of the Hora farmstead and a tasty “peka” dinner, surrounded by olive groves and fields of lavender. Later in the evening you will have free time to explore the beautiful town of Hvar.

Meals: (B, L, D)

DAY 6: HVAR – BLUE CAVE – VIS

In the morning, before breakfast, we sail towards Biševo and the unique natural phenomenon that is the Blue Cave. The Blue Cave is a wonder of the Adriatic Sea and the most attractive sight of the island of Vis, and you will get to see for yourself why so many people visit it each year. After the visit to the Blue Cave*, before lunch on board, you will have time to enjoy a swim stop. Upon arrival to the island of Vis proper, we will have a Military tour of the island. Discover the amazing history of so called “Key of the Adriatic”. We will walk through the now abandoned underground military installation with its miles of tunnels and emplacements dug into the living rock, visit the highest peak of the Island- mount Hum – and climb to Tito’s cave. There is an incredible view from the highest peak on the middle Dalmatian islands and the smell of aromatic herbs. You’ll find the secret history and walking through the underground tunnels will be quite an experience. Be prepared to be active and wear good shoes. When we will walk through the underground tunnels you will be offered helmets and flashlights.

Overnight in Vis.
Meals: (B, L)
*Please note that the Blue Cave is only accessible with small boats through an entrance just 1.5m high so it is unfortunately easily made inaccessible by even slightly choppy seas.

DAY 7: VIS – ŠIBENIK – KRKA National Park

This morning we will leave Vis behind and sail towards Šibenik. On our way we will make a short swim stop to enjoy the Šibenik archipelago. Upon arrival to Šibenik, your bus will be waiting for you to take you to visit Krka National Park, one of Croatia’s most famous national parks. The top attractions of the park are its magnificent waterfalls, including the famous Skradinski Buk falls which are one of Croatia’s most famous sights. A small boat trip through the park is a great way to explore and enjoy beautiful waterfalls in a picturesque, green environment. After this amazing experience we will go back to Šibenik, a city of exceptional history and rich cultural heritage and upon arrival we’ll have a guided tour of the old town so you can get acquainted with it all. Your night is free to explore the city by yourself.
