Making the most of Triluke Bay
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
Arriving at the port
Triluke Bay is a secluded anchorage on Dugi Otok - aka Long island - on the Riviera Zadar of Croatia's Dalmatian coast. This is a tender port.
This is the biggest island in this northern archipelago and forms part of the Kornati and Telašcica National Parks. The town of Zaglav is located on the western side of the bay with a population of 369 inhabitants mainly occupied by fishing, farming and olive production. The village has a shop, a Dalmatian restaurant, cafe bar, a gas station and a 14th century Franciscan monastery. The surrounding waters are a major destination for scuba divers with 250 types of botanical life and 300 animal species.
Getting around
Everywhere in the town is within walking distance.
Seabourn has discovered a secluded cove where, conditions permitting, your captain can anchor and deploy the ship’s watersports Marina for a day of playing in the sparkling Adriatic Sea. Water-skiing, kayaking, pedal boats, sailboards and many more aquatic toys are available, plus swimming right from your ship! This is the life!
Money
Euro
Bear in mind that the Croatian kuna is not exchangeable outside Croatia so you'll either have to change it back into your home currency in Croatia or do some last minute shopping.
If you come to Croatia equipped with euros you can pay for most excursions and car rentals and nearly all shops in euros without getting ripped off on an exchange rate as most of these items are priced in euros anyway.
Staying connected
Language: Croatian. English well spoken.
