Cruise lesser-known jewels in the Adriatic crown
This tour takes you ashore at Croatia’s lesser-known gems. Discover the underground military cave system on Vis, built under Yugoslav occupation, and the near-empty beaches of Lastovo. Visit a traditional salt farm that harvests the sea’s flavour and oyster beds that grow the local delicacies. Explore the trails that run through lush Mljet National Park, as well as the famed walls of Dubrovnik’s Old City. Spend 8 days cruising from port to port, taking in classic view of glittering ocean and charming islands along with the offbeat sights the big ships don’t see.

Why you'll love this trip
-
Cruise into the hidden world of the Blue Cave, the eerily illuminated grotto that lies off Bisevo Island.
-
Tour the honeycomb underground tunnels of Vis, created to service the secret comings and goings of the Yugoslav military presence that left following Croat independence.
-
Sip and swish Croat varietals during a wine tasting at a local winery on Lastovo, a small island were few tourists venture.
-
Escape the crowds and get back to nature in Mljet National Park, where among the evergreen forest and turquoise lakes there are quiet ruins.
-
Even though this trip is about under-touristed wonders, we still fit in a tour of the famed city walls of Dubrovnik’s Old Town.
Is this trip right for you?
-
This is a small ship adventure cruise, which means you’ll be sailing on a yacht with up to 37 other people. The boat is spacious and comfortable, but it 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.
-
If you’re concerned about seasickness, there are seasickness tablets on-board. The ship will experience some roll and pitch in choppy conditions, however all of our ships come equipped with stabilisers to minimise movement. Most of our departures run in peak season, when the seas are calmer. 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. Handrails are always available.
