Private Krk Island Discovery
Krk’s towns and coast on a private schedule built around your ship.
A private six-hour day on Krk Island from Rijeka cruise port — the same island highlights spirit as the shared tour, with a dedicated vehicle and guide rather than a standard group departure.
You meet at the pier or tender pier and cross to Krk for a privately paced look at the island’s historic towns, coastal views and cultural stops. Without a large group, you can linger where the light or atmosphere rewards it.
Food remains your own arrangement. Use free time for a café or local lunch if you prefer a slower midday break.
Private format suits mixed-age parties and anyone who wants a quieter island day while still covering Krk’s signature character.

Getting there from the cruise port
Cruise ships calling at Rijeka may use different docking areas, and some calls tender rather than berth alongside. Confirm your exact meeting point from your booking confirmation — tours typically leave from the cruise ship pier or tender pier. From the main passenger terminal, Rijeka's centre (including Korzo) is often walkable in roughly 5–10 minutes, but berths and walking times vary by call, so treat that as a guide rather than a guarantee. Destinations such as Krk, Istria and Slovenia's karst sites all require organised coach or private transport from the port. Cross-border tours into Slovenia require valid travel documentation as required by the operator and border authorities; delays at the border are possible, so build a conservative return buffer. Always plan your day backwards from the ship's stated all-aboard time, not only its published departure.
Tips for cruise passengers
- Share any mobility needs when booking so the operator can advise on stops
- Bring sun protection for exposed coastal walks
- Agree a clear return buffer with your guide relative to all-aboard
Typically not included
- Food and drink — not included per the supplier
- Optional purchases during free time
