Croatia and Montenegro in Depth

Arrive in Zagreb this afternoon and be transferred to your floating home for the next 13 nights, the cruising yacht MV Lady Eleganza, docked in Rovinj. Designed and built in Croatia for the Adriatic Coast, it is perfect for nestling into the region's small harbours and sheltered coves. Stay 13 Nights: MV Lady Eleganza (D)

Explore Rovinj, which sits on a headland with houses huddled together beneath the imposing St Euphemia church, whose steeple dominates the scene.

This afternoon, sail on to Pula. Pula's remarkably preserved Arena, reminiscent of Rome's Colosseum, is the city's highlight. Built in the first century AD, it once housed up to 23,000 spectators for gladiatorial battles. The Arena is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre in existence to have all four walls entirely preserved. (B/L/D)

Depart Pula this morning and stop for a swim at Unija before arriving in Mali Losinj. Lush and green clad, Losinj Island is fragrant with lavender, sage and rosemary. The main town, Mali Losinj, is characterised by pastel-coloured yacht captains' villas on its waterfront. (B/L/D)

This morning, sail to lively Zadar. Located on a small peninsula, Zadar, which historically rivalled Venice in importance, retains an impressive core of Roman ruins as well as some surprising modern flourishes. (B/L/D)

This morning we set sail for Sibenik.

Upon arrival, you will visit the spectacular Krka National Park. Spend the afternoon strolling along boardwalks to view Krka's waterfalls. The most memorable is Skradinski Buk, which is made up of scores of separate cascades. (B/L/D)

Bol's main claim to fame is the astonishing Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). This beach is made up of tiny white pebbles that shift with the vagaries of the wind and waves, and meets the sea like a spearhead. During your time here, you might like the chance to take a dip or explore the town, which is known for its 15th-century Dominican monastery and museum. Later, your ship will sail to Opuzen, where you will have dinner in a local restaurant.
