The roar and thunder of Krka precedes itself – here nature's power can be witnessed at first hand. Admiring the multiple cascades of Skradinki Buk falls you're experiencing a side to Croatia seen only by the locals. Scudding along the water getting closer in smaller boats, our nature trail extends along wooden jetties and bridges to contemplate the falls from a different perspective, with plenty of time to stop and admire the unique flora and fauna. Will you join your Tour Host Team on a dine-around evening in Sibenik, or stay on board for more fresh Mediterranean flavours prepared by the chef?

But it's not all about the modern as a city tour of the Palace of Diocletian and the Old Town will confirm. You'll be spoiled for choice on tonight's dine-around in one of the many restaurants on the Riva promenade.
