Cruise from Split to Split with Stella Maris
The Croatian coastline north of Split has so much to offer, however, surprisingly, it often goes overlooked. The good news is: North Dalmatia is way less crowded than the south, which brings more opportunities to explore the main highlights without hords of tourists. Listen to the famous Sea Organ in the 3,000-year-old city of Zadar, stroll along the picturesque seafront of Šibenik, enjoy multiple stops for swimming and delicious meals on board.
You will be transferred from Split airport, where embarkation begins at 15:00h. Get settled in your cabin before attending a Welcome reception followed by dinner this evening.

Set sail to Šibenik and set out on a walking tour of Šibenik historical center and visit one of the most beautiful Renaissance Cathedrals of the Adriatic. Your night is at leisure in town.
We start the day with breakfast, followed by a bus visit to the Krka National Park. It’s magnificent waterfalls, including the famous waterfall Skradinski Buk, are one of Croatia’s most famous sights. After the sightseeing tour, we continue sailing towards Zadar, swimming stop and lunch on board. Set out on a walking tour of Zadar historical center and admire the old walls and Port Gate built in 16th century.

Legend has it that the local nuns created a special Rab cake for the pope who visited Rab. We stop for a tasting of traditional Rab cake. You can see how is made, learn about it, taste it, you can even go to a workshop and try to make it by yourself. The recipe for the Rab cake remains a secret kept only by the islanders.

Upon arrival, take a walk along the beautiful waterfront where there are nice shops, restaurants, and attractive cafes. The main tourist attraction is the Museum of Apoxyomenos. It is dedicated to the ancient bronze statue of Apoxyomenos, which was found in 1999 on the seabed near the islet of Vela Orjula at a depth of 45 meters.
