Day 2: Islands of Cres and Lošinj (approx. 45 km/28 miles)

In the morning our ship takes us to Martinscica. From there we cycle on the east side of the island among pine, fig and laurel trees to Osor, an artist town, where we have lunch on the ship. Afterwards there is time for a swim in the bay with crystal clear water. In the afternoon we leave Osor crossing over a swing bridge to reach the island of Lošinj. We bike along the panoramic route to Mali Lošinj, an old seafaring and health resort. The ship awaits us in the large harbor with its numerous cafés and colorful houses. We spend the night in the harbor of Mali Lošinj.

Day 3: Islands of Lošinj and Molat (approx. 20 + 10 km/12 + 6 miles)

Along the seaside walk we cycle to the south of Lošinj and visit the picturesque small harbor of Veli Lošinj before we meet the ship for lunch. In the afternoon we cross over to the island of Molat where we can do another short bike tour. Finally we stay overnight in the quiet harbor of Molat.

Day 4: Island of Dugi Otok (approx. 45 km/28 miles)

During breakfast the ship leaves and takes us past many small islands to the "spice island" of Dugi Otok. Our bike tour starts in the bay of Božava which is surrounded by woods of pine, agaves and tamarisk trees, and we ride on a road almost free of traffic. In the harbor of Savar we meet the ship for lunch. While cycling in the afternoon to the fishermen village of Sali there are some terrific views of the deep blue sea and the surrounding islands.

Day 5: Island of Pag (approx. 20 km/12 miles)

After a cruise till lunch time we reach the island of Pag. In the harsh but delightful landscape of the island we come across many fig and olive trees. Over the centuries the inhabitants have built numerous stone walls for protection against the wind. Starting from Novalja we cycle on the narrow peninsula until we reach the sea from where the ship take us to Rab. The island of Rab is one of the sunniest places in Europe. The town of Rab, the fortified capital of the island, was built in the middle ages on a wedge shaped headland and marks one of the highlights of the trip. The four famous bell towers are the symbol of the adorned beauty of the town. After dinner we can explore the narrow alleys with numerous cosy cafés.

Day 6: Island of Rab (approx. 25 km/15 miles)

We bike along the coast to the east side of the island, an area with virtually no vegetation, which’s rough and cliffy rocks remind us of a lunar landscape. The road leads us to a bay with a sandy beach which is rather atypical for the Kvarner islands. At lunchtime the ship awaits us in the harbor directly in front of the old town of Rab. After a swim-break the ship takes us over to the neighboring island of Krk where we spend the evening in the historical town of Krk.

Day 7: Island of Krk (approx. 45 km/28 miles)

We cycle over the ridge of the island which is covered by fragrant macchia to a valley of vineyards and then onwards to the small museum town of Vrbnik in the northeast. The town built on a 50-meter-high cliff and surrounded by vineyards is the home of the famous white wine Zlahtina. Another peculiarity that Vrbnik has to offer is the second narrowest alley in the world. The way leads us across the island through old villages and rich vegetation to Omišalj. On our way we have a chance to swim in the bay of Soline The last evening aboard takes place traditionally and includes the communal dinner and a last get-together in a cosy atmosphere with crew and tour guides.
