Croatian Cruise Itinerary | July 10–18, 2027
Your Adriatic Journey Begins
I’m delighted to introduce you to an unforgettable Adriatic journey—one that begins in the storied city of Dubrovnik and unfolds northward, island by island, to the historic heart of Zadar. This experience is more than a cruise; it’s a thoughtfully paced voyage that blends cultural immersion, natural beauty, and the effortless elegance of small-ship sailing along Croatia’s most captivating coastline.
Your journey opens in Dubrovnik, where medieval walls rise directly from the sea and centuries of history set a dramatic stage for what’s to come. After settling in and enjoying a Welcome Reception, you’ll begin exploring Croatia by sea—sailing to the walled town of Korčula, the lively island of Hvar, and the sunlit shores of Bol, home to the iconic Golden Horn beach.
As the voyage continues, you’ll discover the Roman legacy of Split, the timeless charm of Trogir, and the picturesque coastline of Primošten, where a festive Captain’s Dinner marks one of the journey’s highlights. A visit to Krka National Park reveals cascading waterfalls and pristine nature before arriving in Šibenik, crowned by its UNESCO-listed cathedral.
Your voyage concludes in Zadar, a city where ancient Roman ruins meet modern Adriatic life. From guided city walks and swim stops in crystalline coves to leisurely lunches on deck and atmospheric evenings in port, each day balances discovery with relaxation—crafted to flow naturally and beautifully from start to finish.
This itinerary is all about rhythm and balance: iconic highlights softened by hidden gems, guided experiences paired with unhurried moments, and enriching cultural encounters wrapped in the comfort of a small, attentive ship. It’s a refined and deeply rewarding way to experience Croatia—by sea, at just the right pace.
Let’s walk through your journey, day by day.

Day 1 | Sunday · July 18, 2027 | Welcome to Zadar
This ancient northern Dalmatian Coast town was relatively off the radar to international tourists until a few years ago. That’s when budget airlines commenced pointing themselves to the city’s airport and travelers began gravitating here as an alternative to Croatia’s other, more touristy seaside towns.
And like a lot of those well-known places along the Dalmatian Coast, Zadar has an old limestone-clad swath of city that confidently juts out to the sea, its centuries-old buildings, churches and shiny stone streets, inviting the visitor to get lost for a few hours. In the far reaches of the Stari Grad, or Old Town, closest to the sea, take note of the unique Sea Organ, a device created by a local artist in which underground pipes interact with the crashing waves to create a harmonious sound with each swell.
Like a lot of the Dalmatian Coast, Zadar was part of the Venetian Empire for a while, so if you see a few winged lions etched into buildings or mentions of St. Mark, you’ll know the connection. The town is also sprinkled with Roman ruins here and there, as it could not escape coming under a different Italian-based empire a couple of millennia ago.
Today Zadar is a small, accessible, and welcoming town with some fine restaurants serving up inspired and creativing takes on Dalmatian fare, as well as some ambient taverns churning out hearty seafood dishes.
After disembarking, depart from Zadar on a private transfer toward one of Europe’s most spectacular natural wonders — Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Upon arrival, enter the park and enjoy time to explore its breathtaking waterfalls, crystal-clear turquoise lakes, and pristine forest trails.
A lunch at a local restaurant is included.
In the afternoon, continue your journey to Zagreb, the vibrant capital of Croatia.
