EXPerience DALMATIAN COAST AND ISLANDS

Multi-Adventure Cruise South Dalmatia
Your carefree family vacation in Croatia (8 days/7 nights)

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 anew whether you would like to go for a bike or a hike, go 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 Cruises is the opportunity to jump directly off the ship into the sea for a swim.
