MS Sagena / Route RW
Port of Zadar - Northern Dalmatia
Description
The MS Sagena undoubtedly is one of the most comfortable motorized sailing boats of the Adriatic Sea. Built in 1991 and reconstructed already in 2007, this classic-style wooden vessel offers eight spacious cabins and plenty of space for everyone, whether in the saloon or on deck. By end of summer 2014, MS Sagena was sold to Joško Kordić, also known as former captain of MS Vila. We are more than convinced that the Sagena is in safe hands with captain Joško and his crew, who will take you to some of the most beautiful spots of the Croatian Adriatic Sea and its countless islands and secluded bays. For the 2017 season, all en-suite bathrooms have been renovated and newly furnished. In summer Joško's wife Martina and his daughters Marieta and Lola are also frequently on board. They take care not only of the cleanliness on the boat, but also of the well-being of their guests, many of whom return to the Sagena every year.

Port of Zadar - Northern Dalmatia • Port of Rijeka - Kvarner Region
The inhabitants of Zadar proudly call their city: “Najlipši grad na svitu” (“The most beautiful city in the world”). The former capital of Dalmatia is situated on a peninsula bordered by two “Rivas”. The side facing the mainland is simply called “Riva” – here ferries and passenger ships anchor and fishermen bring their catch ashore every morning. On the other side, facing the island, lays the “New Riva” – the perfect setting to stroll along the waterfront, where lovers meet for their rendezvous; since a few years, it is the only place in the world, where you can listen to the unique melodies of the Sea Organs. Embedded between the Rivas, you will discover one of the most beautiful old towns in Dalmatia. The traffic-free main street (called “Kalelarga”), with its boutiques and cafes, is the lifeline of the city. On both sides of the street, you will find picturesque alleys in which the “Klapa” intone their songs of sheer joy. Magnificent historical buildings, such as the circular church of St. Donat, the Cathedral of Sveta Stošija, the Roman Forum and many other fascinating places are waiting to be discovered!Port of Rijeka
Rijeka is the third largest city in Croatia and the largest and most important seaport of the country. Rijeka is just a few hours by car from central Europe – public transportation (bus and train) depart from several countries on a daily base. The airport is located 30 kilometres outside Rijeka on the island of Krk. The city centre is close to the harbour and offers fantastic shopping opportunities, plus a number of cultural monuments and many places of interest. There is plenty of evening entertainment along the harbour road, the “Riva”.Sojourn tax and harbour fees are not included in the prices and are payable in cash on board upon embarkation.
