What's great about Rijeka cruises?

Although a busy working port, Rijeka has plenty of old world charm squirrelled away. Peach and lemon-coloured buildings march along the pedestrian streets, topped by terracotta roofs and carved arches. Rijeka also serves as a gateway to the islands filling the Kvarner Gulf. They’re a rural, laid-back bunch punctured with coves and beaches.

• Wander through the traffic-free Korzo district and you’ll discover Baroque clock towers, a main square with fountains, and locals sipping coffee on café terraces.
• There’s a daily canalside market. It’s less than a 10-minute walk from the harbour, and you’ll get a real taste of everyday life among the flower and food stalls.
• Krk is the closest island – it’s just a half-hour drive away via an arching bridge. Miles of beaches and a pretty capital city are among the highlights here.
