Jedinstveno putovanje Obalom Hrvatske nije samo plovidba morem. To je susret s dušom Jadrana. Ribarima što krpaju mreže, galebovima što prate barke, palmama što poput stražara bdiju nad rivama…i svim simbolima koji čine ovu obalu vječnom.
Tamo gdje se plavetnilo mora ljubi s bijelim kamenim rivama, stoje one palme. Vitke siluete, s vijencem zelenih perjanica, nose duh juga, ljeta i beskrajnih putovanja.
Palme nisu samo ukras obale, one su njezin ritam disanja. U njihovim deblima zapisane su oluje i ljeta, dolasci i odlasci, dok im krošnje šušte poput mora što šapuće svoje priče. Ispod njihove sjene zastajali su ribari, zaljubljeni, putnici; svatko tražeći zaklon od sunca i trenutak mira.
One su svjedoci vremena, most između našeg Jadrana i dalekih mora s kojih su stigle, a danas su neizbrisiv dio morskog identiteta Hrvatske. S nestrpljenjem ih čekamo ponovno susresti, dok brod Obalom Hrvatske bude klizio od uvale do uvale, od grada do grada, prateći ritam valova i priča koje se pamte cijeli život.
And now, let’s sail in English…
The unique voyage Along the Coast of Croatia is not just a journey across the sea. It is a meeting with the soul of the Adriatic. With fishermen mending their nets, seagulls following the boats, palms standing as watchful guardians over the promenades… and all the symbols that make this coastline timeless.
Where the deep blue of the sea kisses the white stone promenades, where the scent of salt and citrus lingers in the air, they stand – the palms. Slender silhouettes crowned with lush green fronds, carrying the spirit of the south, of summer, and of endless voyages.
Palms are not merely a decoration of the coast – they are its very breath. In their trunks are etched storms and summers, arrivals and farewells, while their fronds rustle like the sea whispering its stories. Beneath their shade stood fishermen, lovers, travelers – each seeking shelter from the sun and a fleeting moment of peace.
They are witnesses of time, a bridge between our Adriatic and the distant seas from which they came, and today – an inseparable part of Croatia’s maritime identity. We await the moment to meet them again, as the Along the Coast of Croatia voyage glides from cove to cove, city to city, following the rhythm of the waves and the stories meant to be remembered for a lifetime.
