8-DAY NORTH DALMATIA TENNIS CRUISE
Our cruise consists of four tennis sessions over an 8-Day cruise to ensure plenty of opportunities to get in some good court time as well as experience everything else Croatia has to offer. From Palaces and walled cities to mouth-watering cuisine and locally produced fine wine, plus so much more.
Croatians are incredibly passionate about sport! The country has produced countless tennis stars. We play at a mixture of tennis centres that range from WTA tournament hosts, to more local affairs. All of the courts are clay and most have a view that will take your breath away! Overlooking mountain ranges, cliffs and open sea, this really is tennis unlike anything you’ve played before.
Just remember to keep your eye on the ball!

Itinerary
Split (Trogir)
Your onboard representative will either meet you at Split airport and we will all board the airport shuttle bus to Trogir port, or you may already be in Trogir, where our boat awaits. After checking-in from 12pm to 1pm, we will have welcome speeches and an introduction to your friendly crew. Lunch is then served!
For the tennis players, the first tennis session is from around 4pm to 6pm. The courts are right next to the sea, so we can enjoy the views while spending a couple of hours on the clay!
We then have the evening in Trogir and there is no better way to savour the UNESCO-protected old city than visiting a local restaurant deep in the winding cobbled streets of this fascinating town.
Overnight: Trogir.
Split (Trogir) to Primošten
After breakfast, our boat will have a swim stop at a bay chosen by our knowledgeable Captain. Time for swimming costumes, snorkels and inflatables!
After lunch we will dock in Primošten, one of the loveliest towns in the region, perched on its own little peninsula. You are free to explore the town in the afternoon or join us at the Prgin Winery for a sunset wine-tasting and nibbles session!
Overnight: Primošten.
Primošten to Šibenik
With another swim-stop between breakfast and lunch to wash away the wine-tasting effects, we dock into Šibenik in the afternoon, with time to see some local sites (such as the famous cathedral and monastery garden) before playing tennis together at Šibenik’s local club (Šubičevac). There is no shortage of bars and eateries to choose from on this town’s promenade to celebrate superb volleys or commiserate missed break points!
Overnight: Šibenik
Šibenik to Kornati
We leave Šibenik in the morning to make the crossing over to the Kornati Islands, one of the most stunning archipelagos in Europe, and a National Park. Admire the islands described by George Bernard Shaw thusly: On the last day of the Creation, God desired to crown his work and thus created the Kornati islands out of tears, stars and breath.
We have a chance to explore part of the National Park in the afternoon, followed by an onboard mixed grill in the evening (optional).
Overnight: Kornati Islands.
Kornati to Zadar
Our boat leaves early for the crossing back over to the mainland, reaching Zadar in the afternoon. Of course, with a swim stop in a secluded bay on the way.
Upon arrival to Zadar, we have a couple of hours free time to wander the gorgeous city before another tennis session from around 4.30pm to 6.30pm.
Overnight: Zadar.
Zadar to Krka National Park to Vodice/Zlarin
A couple of options this morning. You can choose to do the Krka Waterfall Park excursion, whereby the bus picks us up from the boat after breakfast and takes us to the National Park, then meets up with the boat in Vodice after the excursion. Or you can stay on board and enjoy the day’s cruising.
Overnight: Vodice or we might have time to hop over to Zlarin.
Vodice/Zlarin to Split (Trogir)
An early start from Vodice as we head back south to Trogir.
After breakfast we stop for a swim-stop around Primošten, where the tennis players will be dropped off after lunch for a transfer to the Trogir tennis centre for the final tennis session from around 4pm to 6pm.
We dock up back in Trogir in the afternoon to enjoy the last day and evening together on the boat in Trogir’s stunning setting.
Overnight: Trogir.
Split (Trogir)
After breakfast, we have to check out by 9am and say farewell to our crew and shipmates.
While many people will be flying home that day, it doesn’t have to be the end of the adventure, as we recommend staying in Croatia longer to explore further afield!
