Description
Live the Dalmatian dream on this 8-day adventure cruise along the breathtaking Croatian coast.
Join Peregrine on a new round-trip adventure cruise from Split, taking in the small villages, Dalmatian lifestyle, winding streams and crisp blue waters that make this European strip of coast such a winner. After sailing to Trogir to witness some of the country’s finest architecture, drop anchor in the beautiful bays of Kornati National Park for a refreshing dip or kayak. Head up to Zadar to see and hear the phenomenal Sea Organ, whose aural waves tell the story of this old soul of a town. Then, after a leisurely hike around the gorgeous Plitvice National Park, dine like the Dalmatians in a quaint village near Sibenik, and stop for a taste of Croatia’s finest. With the near-new Peregrine Dalmatia ship as a base, this is a Croatian adventure of both style and comfort.
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 30 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. Wifi 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 on-board. Handrails are always available.
