Overview

A cruise and land tour exploring the highlights of Croatia and Slovenia, including Dubrovnik, Split, Plitvice Lakes, and ending in Venice.

Our Partner, Zantium Cruises, is at the heart of what we do - small-ship journeys along the Adriatic that combine the intimacy of a private yacht with the comfort of a boutique hotel. Each voyage is carefully curated to showcase both the famous highlights and the hidden corners of Croatia's coast. Days begin with a swim in a secluded bay, followed by leisurely sailing and afternoons spent exploring historic towns or island villages. On board, our attentive crew, freshly prepared Mediterranean meals, and a relaxed social atmosphere create the perfect setting to experience life at sea. For travelers seeking a refined yet effortless way to discover the Adriatic, our cruises offer the ideal balance of exploration, comfort, and authenticity.
