This is the ultimate combination of active travel and boutique cruising. We'll begin with 2 nights in Split, Croatia's dazzling UNESCO-listed coastal city, with time to explore Diocletian's Palace, the Old Town, and the famous waterfront Riva. From there, we board a premium small ship (just 32–38 guests) and spend 8 days sailing and cycling through the heart of the Dalmatian islands.

​

Each day brings a new island, a new cycling route, and a new slice of Croatian life. We'll pedal through the lavender fields and ancient Greek plains of Hvar, wind through the vineyards and olive groves of Korčula, discover the lush national park lakes of Mljet, and explore the charming stone villages of Brač — with daily distances ranging from a leisurely 18km up to a more challenging 55km for those who want to push themselves.

E-bikes are available (with a surcharge) for those who'd prefer them.

Between rides, there are swim stops in secluded Adriatic bays, olive oil and wine tastings on board, and three-course lunches and dinners with a Captain's Dinner included.
