Sailing yacht exploring the diverse coastline of Northern Croatia and Istria

Embark on a magnificent 15-day cruise adventure that spans the diverse Croatian coastline and sweeps through beautiful Dalmatian islands and green hills in Istria.

Rab: The Happy Island

Although overtaken by other island neighbors when it comes to the total area, what Rab lacks for size, the island offers with the abundance of emerald bays, rich cultural heritage, and geological diversities.

The story of this fascinating island was shaped by the Roman Emperor Octavian Augustus himself, who declared it Felix Arba (meaning happy/wooded). Viewing Rab from the sea gives you a spectacular perspective, with the town's four typical bell towers standing like masts upon the stones.

Pula: The Roman Guardian of Istria

Pula has been the cultural center of the Istrian peninsula for centuries, a city of contrasts where ancient history and modern times meet. It is a vibrant hub that serves as the gateway to the northern Adriatic's wonders.
