Naturist Cruise from Opatija

Departure at 13:00h with lunch on board followed by a swimming stop in the crystal-clear sea at Bunculuka naturist camp. Continue on the route to Krk island - one of the largest Croatian islands. Krk has an immense variety of villages, large and small, gentle green promenades bare rocky wilderness, tiny islands and hundreds of hidden bays and beaches. Late afternoon arrival in Baška or Punat (depending on harbour and weather conditions). Time at leisure to enjoy the café-bars and restaurants alongside the waterfront. Overnight in Baška or Punat harbour.

After breakfast, cruise towards Rab island, known as the “island of love”. Swimming break at Ciganka (Gypsy) beach - one of the 3 sandy, naturist beaches in Lopar, featuring unusual shaped sand dunes. Cruise along the Island of Rab enjoying lunch. Afternoon swim at naturist beach Kandarola, one of the oldest naturist beaches in the world, where British king Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson took a skinny dip (some historians say that the British royal actually started naturism here). Late afternoon arrival in Rab, the town which is encircled by medieval walls, Romanesque church towers, churches, palaces, stone streets and ancient facades. Enjoy the “gallery” on the streets and squares where many painters and artists exhibit their works. If time permits, walk up to Kamenjak hill to enjoy the magnificent sunset. Overnight in the town of Rab.

Early departure from Rab towards the Olib island - situated in the northern part of the Zadar archipelago. Swim-stop in one of the naturist bays. Olib is the only village on this homonymous island and often the visitors are surprised by several valuable archaeological sites dating back to the Roman Empire. Overnight in Olib.

After breakfast and morning swim, cruise towards Dugi Otok (Long Island) and the Telašćica Nature Park. Due to its intense beauty, richness and importance, this bay surrounded by 13 islands and islets, together with 6 islets inside the bay of Telašćica itself, was proclaimed a nature park in 1988. Entrance to the Nature Park Telašćica is to be paid on the spot (approx. EUR 10.- per person). Time at leisure to explore the white cliffs and lake. Captain's dinner party on board and overnight in Telašćica.

An early departure towards Molat or Ilovik island (depending on available space in the small harbours), followed by a swimming stop on the Island of Krava - a Robinson Crusoe type of island where one feels at the call of nature, the return to the almost primaeval way of life, the adventurous rhythm of life played by the wind, the sun and the crystal-clear sea. Lunch on board followed by a swimming break on the islands of Krknata, just a few meters away from the island Krava and Dugi Otok. Overnight in Molat or Ilovik.

After breakfast and morning swim, cruise towards the island Mali Lošinj with a short stop on Ilovik (“the island of flowers”). Lošinj is known as the “sunshine island” and one of the most popular islands on the northern Adriatic, famous for its pine tree scent and clear waters. On arrival, take a walk along the harbour front or to the Lošinj Aromatic Garden or just visit the neighbouring picturesque town of Veli Lošinj. Overnight in Mali Lošinj.

After a morning swim, departure towards Cres Island, a long and narrow island covered with oak, beech and pine forests as well as vineyards and olive groves. Cres and Mali Lošinj used to be one island but the Romans dug a channel and separated them. For the last night on board, we recommend a farewell party, a great opportunity for exchanging addresses with other passengers who have by now become new friends. Enjoy the evening BBQ party on board.

Early morning departure towards Opatija. Enjoy the fantastic panorama of the Opatija Riviera. After breakfast, say goodbye to the crew and we hope to see you again aboard Katarina Line cruises.
