During the ride we are treated to unforgettable vistas of the islands in the deep blue sea. We meet the ship in Savar and board for a crossing to the city of Zadar, which for centuries was the political, cultural, and spiritual centre of Dalmatia. Once we arrive, there is the opportunity to take part in a walking tour during which you will find out all about this fascinating city while strolling through the winding alleys and the lively old town, characterised by 3,000 years of history. The night is spent in Zadar.

Day 5
Cycle to Skradin, onto Krka National Park (32km/20mi)
Today offers one of the most scenic highlights of the journey. After a peaceful morning crossing, we will arrive in Skradin – a charming riverside town nestled at the entrance to the Krka Canyon. From here, we set off by bike to explore the surrounding area. The ride follows a scenic route through rural landscapes and limestone hills, with occasional views across the Krka River. In the afternoon, a short boat trip takes us into the heart of Krka National Park, where a network of boardwalks leads through forests, streams and waterfalls. There is ample time to explore the walking trails and take in the powerful cascades. Our evening is spent in the peaceful harbour of Skradin. With its stone laneways, riverside cafés and warm evening light, it’s the perfect place to unwind after an active and memorable day.
Day 6
Cruise to Sibenik and onto Primosten (28km/18mi)
Enjoy breakfast aboard while sailing toward the coastal town of Primošten. There's time to unwind on deck, go for a swim and watch the landscape change as we draw closer to this picturesque Dalmatian port. Once ashore, our ride takes us from Primošten to the nearby village of Rogoznica. The route offers a pleasant mix of coastal views, rolling countryside and traditional stone architecture, with enough time to pause along the way and take it all in. We will return to Primošten by bike in the late afternoon, with the rest of the day free to explore. Wander the narrow streets, swim off the rocky shoreline or settle in at a local konoba for a quiet dinner. The boat remains moored overnight, giving you the evening to experience the charm of this seaside town.

In the afternoon, our last cruise takes us back to Trogir, where we have enough time for a stroll through the World Heritage old town.

What's included
What's not included
Below Deck Cabin
There are three cabins below deck. These are triple share cabins with separate beds (200cm x 90cm). All cabins have their own bathroom with shower and WC and are equipped with individually controlled air conditioning and a hairdyer.
Above Deck Cabin
Above deck there are 5 double cabins (double beds are 200cm x 140cm), and 5 triple cabins with a double and single bed. A supplement applies for above deck cabins. These cabins have their own bathroom and air conditioning.
During the trip you will be provided with a 21 speed bike with hand brakes. You will be provided with a pannier to carry your gear during the day. The bikes do not have water bottle holders. Helmets are not supplied but are mandatory on all bike tours - you are encouraged to bring your own well-fitted helmet. A limited number of rental helmets are available on board (reservation essential), however we cannot guarantee their suitability.
An electric bike option is available for this trip. Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are designed to make cycling easier. The pedalling ‘boost’ provided by an e-bike opens up more options, allowing people of different fitness levels to cycle together or to allow less confident or fit cyclists to take on routes that they may otherwise consider too tough for their current capability.
A mountain bike (MTB) option is available on select departures running parallel with the standard itinerary - subject to minimum numbers. Refer to the mountain bike itinerary - a supplement applies. It is not possible to carry a pannier on the MTB rentals, you will need to bring your own hydration pack or water bladder to store drinking water needed during the cycling.
GRADE 2 - The trip requires a basic level of fitness from participants, which they should have acquired from steady cycling. The tours take you up to a height of between 100 and 300m / 328 to 985ft above sea-level. The daily tours from 15 to 35km/9.5 to 21.5mi lead you through hilly and mountainous terrain and will be completed without any time-constraints. Participants will also need to master long and steep climbs, during which you may need to push the bike. You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend on board the boat, instead of taking a planned bike-tour. We will traverse mostly asphalted roads, which are rarely travelled on outside the holiday seasons. Each day you can either decide to bike alone, using the information and maps provided, or join the tour guides. It is considered suitable for fit beginners and active children (minimum 10 years, height minimum is 1.2m/4ft for hybrid bike or 1.5m/5ft for e-bike). *For safety reasons, we insist that cycle helmets be included as a compulsory item on your equipment list.
