Day 1: Embarkation in Omišalj. Sailing Omišalj - Cres.
The Linda will be moored and waiting in Omišalj, a nice little harbor village on the island of Krk. If you’re planning to arrive by car, please request parking details. Check-in on the boat is between 2 pm and  2:30 pm. Please do not be late as at approximately 3 pm the ship will undergo a 4-hour sail to the island of Cres. In the evening you can take part in a short tour through the old town of Cres.

Day 2: The islands of Cres and Lošinj, 18 mi. (28 km)
After breakfast, you start the cycling itinerary from the city of Cres to Martinšćica. The boat awaits your arrival and lunch is served during the cruise to the island of Lošinj. If the weather is good, the captain will arrange a swim stop along the way before tying off in the harbor wellness town of Mali Lošinj. The port with its colorful facades and numerous cafes offers its visitors a welcoming atmosphere for a relaxed evening.

Day 3: The islands of Lošinj and Molat, 12 + 6 mi. (20 + 10 km)
Along the seaside promenade you will cycle to the south of Lošinj and visit the picturesque small harbor of Veli Lošinj before meeting up with the boat for lunch. In the afternoon, there is a cross over to the island of Molat and one more short ride. Overnight stay in the quiet harbor of Molat.

Day 4: The island of Dugi Otok, 20 mi. (32 km)
During breakfast, the ship leaves Molat and takes you past many small islands to the "spice island" of Dugi Otok. Your bike tour starts in the bay of Božava which is surrounded by pine woods, agaves, and tamarisk trees, and you ride on a road almost free of traffic. Your tour leads at first to the northernmost point of the island where the lighthouse of Veli Rat stands proudly since 1849 fulfilling its duty in guiding sailors safely on their way. A ride along the island's “Road in the Sky” brings you to the peaceful harbor of Savar or Bribinj. There will be ample time for a swim break in the afternoon. Overnight stay in a calm bay.

Day 5: The island of Pag - Rab, 21 mi. (34 km)
After sailing in the morning, you will reach the island of Pag. In the harsh but delightful landscape of the island you will come across many fig and olive trees. Over the centuries the inhabitants have built numerous stone walls for protection against the wind. Starting in Mandre, you will bike on the narrow peninsula to the sea where the ship awaits to sail 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, you can explore the narrow alleys with numerous cozy cafes.

Day 6: The island of Rab and Krk, 15 mi. (25 km)
You cycle along the coast to the east side of the island, an area with virtually no vegetation, whose rough cliff rocks is like a  lunar landscape. The road will lead to the bay with a sandy beach, which is rather atypical for the Kvarner islands. At lunchtime, the ship will be waiting in the harbor directly in front of the old town of Rab. After a swim break the ship sails to the neighboring island of Krk, where the evening will be spent in the historic town of Krk.

Day 7: The island of Krk, 28 mi. (45 km)
Today is a tour of the senses, cycling 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 will lead across the island through old villages and rich vegetation to Omišalj, from where Rijeka will be within sight. On the way, there is an opportunity to swim in the bay of Soline. The night is spent in Omišalj. The last evening on board will be highlighted by a celebratory dinner on board. 

Day 8: Departure from Omišalj.
Check-out after breakfast by 9 am. We recommend an extra night or two in the clifftop village of  Omišalj.
