Croatian Island Explorer

Zadar follows, where the Roman forum and the church of St Donatus offer a glimpse into the city's layered history. The sound of the sea is turned into music by the Sea Organ, while the Sun Salutation light display is powered by solar energy, turning the harbour into a whimsical evening spectacle.

The tour also calls at Primosten, with its cluster of islets, the fragrant lavender fields surrounding Hvar, and the peak of Vidova Gora on Brač, where views reach out over Zlatni Rat beach. Medieval Trogir and the palace of Split complete the itinerary. The small-group format leaves time for swimming stops and relaxed meals onboard.
