Day 1 Zadar
Check-in at Zadar port at 17.00hrs and join a sightseeing tour starting at 17.30hrs. For centuries the metropolis of Dalmatia, today the centre of the region, Zadar is a city rich in monumental heritage. The church of St Donatus dated to the 9th century AD is the most famous medieval basilica and the city's symbol.

Do not miss the famous Zadar Sea Organ, one of a kind in the world, and “The Greeting to the Sun” light installation.
Day 2 Zadar - Molat/Olib
An early departure today to the Island of Molat or Olib (depending on available space in the island's small harbours). Molat Island is situated in the Northern part of Zadar's archipelago. The peace and serenity of this island, untouched by tourism and with minimal infrastructure, is a great place to relax. The island of Olib has numerous beautiful beaches which you will notice as soon as you come ashore. For those who explore the tiny village, you will come across the parish church dating back to the 17th century. Inside the church are many Glagolitic codices from the 16th-19th century. After relaxing or exploring, gather back on board the Captain's dinner.

Day 3 Molat/Olib - Ilovik - Losinj
After breakfast and a morning swim, you cruise to the peaceful island of flowers, called Ilovik. After a short, visit depart for Losinj, one of the most popular islands on the northern Adriatic waters due to the abundance of pine trees and clear waters. The archaeological museum of Apoxiomenos is located here but it is also lovely to spend time walking along the pretty waterfront, visiting the aromatic garden, or having a swim in the beautiful clear waters.
