Cycling & Multi-Adventure Cruise from Trogir return 7nts on MS San Snova (Fridays)

Itinerary and Inclusions:

Please note this cruise does not visit Dubrovnik!

Open age cruise. Double/twin cabins on Upper, Main and Lower Deck. Most triple cabins are a double bed with a single bunk bed above. Solo travellers must book a cabin for solo use with a solo use supplement.

This Multi-Adventure Cruise in South Dalmatia is particularly well-suited for families. It combines the popular bathing cruise concept with a variety of activities. Spend a week on a charming motor vessel that takes you from island to island, sparing you the hassle of packing suitcases and searching for accommodations. Along with nights spent in port, we also spend some nights in quiet bays.

Decide each day whether you would like to join the offered bike, hike, or rafting or rather stroll leisurely through the unique small harbour towns of the Adriatic - or simply spend the day relaxing on board. This is indeed a pleasant way of exploring Southern Dalmatia, possibly Croatia’s most attractive coastal region. A well-informed tour guide who can always point out various possibilities of creating an active or a relaxed holiday accompanies you. Local stories and legends and the country’s cultural treasures - most of which are protected by UNESCO’s World Heritage program – bring Croatia’s eventful history to life. The highlight of our Multi-Adventure Cruise is the opportunity to jump directly off the ship into the sea for a swim.
