MS Sveti Vid / Route R7
Port of Rijeka - Kvarner Region
Description
This proud, modern three-master was a core part of our fleet for many years, until its former owner decided a couple of years ago to organise a different type of cruise. In autumn 2016, Sveti Vid was sold – and to none other than our long-term captain Marin Mladin (nicknamed Čičak or “burdock” because of his beard) from the Otac Luka, whose rudder he held in his hands for eleven years. Čičak and his son Marin completely renovated Sveti Vid in Winter 2016/2017 with no external assistance whatsoever. The bathrooms in all the cabins were completely renovated and newly furnished and the saloon was completely redesigned. His wife Nina also had a significant hand in decorating the saloon, which can be seen at first glance. While Captain Čičak steers the Sveti Vid with a sure hand through the Adriatic, his son Marin takes care of the guests and makes sure that everything on board is in perfect order.

Route
In order to make this possible also for our guests who book their cruises individually, and not as part of a charter group, we have listened to the proposals of our guests and captains and offer special Captains’ Tours, following the motto – “Let’s trust the captain – he will put together an interesting route for us, because ultimately, he knows the sea and the Croatian islands best!”
Exclusive Captain's Route – the insider tip for individualists
* From 11:30 am to 1:00 pm, boarding time in the port of Rijeka.
* The port of embarkation for passengers arriving by plane depends on the flight schedule. With transfer booking via I.D. Riva Tours and flight arrival to Rijeka airport until 11:30 am, embarkation in the port of Rijeka is guaranteed. Passengers arriving later will be transferred to the first port of call for embarkation.
* The itinerary is not prescribed, but created by the captain in a flexible way. Considering weather and sea conditions, he will show you his favourite bays and places.
* At least two nights in sheltered coves and small fishing villages.
* A maximum of three nights in major towns, visited by the route R1, possibly not on the same days as other ships.
* Whenever possible, the group will avoid meeting groups from other boats and sharing overnight locations.
