CROATIAN COASTAL ODYSSEY 2019
Come with us to visit Croatia’s spectacular coastline and idyllic
islands aboard the charming Queen Eleganza. The region offers
breathtaking natural beauty, intriguing history, stunning
architecture and a wonderfully tranquil and peaceful
atmosphere. Our unique cruise covers the coast and rivers of
Croatia with the additional benefit of mooring in the immediate
vicinity of town centres, allowing for evenings spent ashore. Our
itinerary includes a range of scenic delights – the Zrmanja
Gorge, the worldfamous Kornati Islands, plus the dramatic
waterfalls of Krka and the River Cetina which, whilst relatively
unknown is surrounded by some truly magnificent scenery. We
also visit the historic cities of Zadar, Sibenik, Split and
Dubrovnik, with their history dating back through the Middle
Ages to the Roman Era and the delightful islands of Hvar and
Korcula, with their marble streets and impressive architecture.

Day 4 - River Cetina & Split.
Cruise this morning to Omis where we will board small boats for the trip along
the valley of the emerald green River Cetina. Over centuries, the river has cut a
magnificent canyon into the mountains surrounding it. We arrive at
Radmanove Mlinice (Radman’s Mills). Dating from 1722, the mill was used to
grind cereals for the inhabitants of Omis. Later we sail for Split where we will
moor overnight with the opportunity to dine in one of the many restaurants on
the Riva promenade.

Enjoy a guided walking tour of Split this morning, a fascinating city. See the
Palace of Diocletian and the Old Town. Later we set sail for the historic town of
Sibenik where we will visit the Cathedral of St. James, and the St. Nicholas
Fortress. There is a further opportunity to dine independently tonight in one of
the local restaurants.
Day 6 - Krka National Park & Zadar.
Today we will visit the spectacular waterfalls of Krka where we will see the
fjord-like landscape of the ‘Skradinski Buk’, a large natural pool with high
waterfalls at one end and cascades at the other. We will take a walk along
wooden jetties and bridges to admire the falls, and the unique flora and
fauna. This afternoon we set sail for Zadar, passing through the group of
islands making up the world famous archipelago of the Kornati National Park.
Tonight, dine independently ashore in one of the many local restaurants.
Day 7 - Zadar & Zrmanja Gorge.
After breakfast, join the guided walk through Zadar, after which there will be
an excursion to the Zrmanja Gorge. The River Zrmanja is 69 kilometres long
and flows into the Adriatic. At the dramatic entrance to the gorge, we will
board a motor launch for the one hour cruise to Obrovac, where we will enjoy
a lunch of local specialties. Return to the Queen Eleganza and meet later for
the Captain’s Dinner on our final evening.
