Cruise by the jewels in Croatia’s Adriatic crown.
Cruise the Dalmatian coastline on a paradisiacal adventure through Croatia’s highlights and hidden gems. Spend 15-days aboard the Lupus Mare, taking in classic views of shimmering ocean and charming islands along with the offbeat sights the big ships don’t see. Discover the underground military cave system on Vis built under Yugoslav occupation, and the near-empty beaches of Lastovo. Explore the trails that run through lush Mljet National Park, as well as the famed walls of Dubrovnik’s Old City. See the romantic and evocative Old Town of Korcula, and board wooden boats and stop in at Mostar – a town situated in a beautiful valley in the high mountains. With all the comforts you need to sit back and relax, let this Dalmatian archipelago delight your senses.

Why you'll love this trip
-
Take a boat into the hidden world of the Blue Cave – an eerily illuminated grotto that lies off Bisevo Island.
-
Sip and swish Croat varietals during a wine tasting at a local winery on Lastovo, and escape the crowds and get back to nature in the evergreen forests of Mljet National Park.
-
There’s nothing like diving into the aquamarine waters of the Adriatic Sea. Weather permitting, your captain will be stopping the ship for regular swim breaks during your Dalmatian escapade.
-
Even though this trip is about a lot of under-touristed and lesser-known wonders, you’ll still fit in a tour of the famed city walls of Dubrovnik’s Old Town.
-
Spend a day landside seeing Mostar’s iconic bridge and have the chance to chat with local craftsmen and metalworkers in this small town in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Is this trip right for you?
-
This is a small ship Adventure Cruise, which means you’ll be sailing on a motorised yacht with 30–50 other people. The boat is spacious and comfortable, but this cruise focuses more on the destination than on-board activities. Instead of a pool, we have the sea itself. Instead of a casino, we’ve got board games and a good book. There’s also no formal dress code to worry about. Wi-Fi is available for a small charge.
-
Our ship moves under engine power, rather than sailing, so all cabins will experience light engine noise when the ship is moving (and occasionally when we drop anchor). It’s probably worth packing earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
-
Unlike other ships that cruise through the night, we’ll spend our evenings docked at port. This will give you more time to dine ashore and enjoy those balmy Croatian evenings. Cruising will mostly take place during the day.
-
Onshore activities and excursions will involve a bit of walking. You’ll be visiting ancient sites and historical places, and at times you may have to cross cobbled streets and uneven ground, sometimes in hot conditions. If you have any concerns, please speak to your group leader before taking part.
-
Most of our departures run in peak season, when the seas are calmer. The ship will experience some roll and pitch in choppy conditions, however all of our ships come equipped with stabilisers to minimise movement. There will be seasickness tablets on board and your crew will do all they can to minimise any discomfort.
-
There are no lifts (elevators) on board our ships, so you’ll have to navigate a few steep flights of stairs (fitted with handrails) to access all the decks.

Special Information
As this is a combination trip, your group leader and the composition of your group will likely change at this location. On this day, all cabins on board your ship will be refreshed and the crew will prepare the vessel for new arrivals. Please note that you will not be able to access the ship until around 4 pm to allow for this; however, you will be able to leave your larger luggage on board. Feel free to ask your leader for recommendations on what to do in port for the day. There will be another meeting later in the day to discuss the next stage of your itinerary, so please attend, as this is also a great chance to meet your new fellow travellers.Accommodation
