A walk on the wild side
1 / 4
After strolling around the historic quarter of Mali Lošinj and admiring the pastel-painted sea captains’ houses on the waterfront, we’ll head to the Garden of Fine Scents. Here, surrounded by traditional dry-stone walls and with views over the bay below, we’ll breathe in the fragrance of over 250 wild aromatic herbs, learn about their medicinal properties, and browse locally made products and souvenirs in the little shop.
Rab - an archetypal Adriatic paradise
1 / 4
Rab is the greenest and best known of Croatia’s Kvarner Islands. Its shores are fringed with pine forests, while inland you’ll find olive groves and grapevines set out in neat rows. We’ll pick a path through its storybook old town, all red-roofed houses and wonky cobbled streets. Spot Byzantine churches, Romanesque towers and Italianate mansions, then retire to the ship for a drink with a view.
Wine tasting in Vrbnik
1 / 4
Krk - and particularly the region of Vrbnik - is known for the production of wine. On this excursion we’ll visit one of the area’s family-run wineries to watch and learn about the centuries-old tradition behind winemaking in Croatia. After a tour and tasting, there’s the chance to buy a bottle or two to take home or enjoy later on board.
Opulent Opatija
1 / 4
Our guided walking tour reveals the handsome belle epoque homes and hotels built when Opatija was a favoured seaside retreat for the Austro-Hungarian elite. Right on the seafront, the Franz Joseph I Promenade winds along the coastline with grand villas and mansions on one side, and the sparkling Adriatic on the other.
