Breathtaking Northern Croatia Luxury Cruise

Breathtaking Northern Croatia Luxury Cruise

From EUR €2,200

Description

Join a breathtaking cruise from Split to Opatija – A fabulous tapestry of blue and green will captivate you while cruising and exploring the stunning northern Adriatic coastline and islands. The intermingling of various influences in the past has crystallized Croatia’s spectacular scenery: small coves where bathers drift on crystal-blue waters, historical towns and sites, natural beauty of the national parks and so much more! You will cruise in the mornings, with a swim stop somewhere en route in a secluded bay, and, after lunch on board, you will arrive at your destination for the evening, and what destinations they are. Split is a great destination in itself, and preferred by many to Dubrovnik. Kornati and Brijuni National Parks further north provide a slower pace, but buzzing Zadar and Opatija give a true Croatian flavour.
