Navigate the gorgeous coastline of Croatia in comfort on this small-ship adventure cruise from Split to Dubrovnik. Soak up the sun, sea and salty breeze as you sail through the azure waters of the Adriatic, exploring islands, rivers, beaches and towns. Start in the ancient city of Split and walk through colourful Brac, before setting sail southbound. Drop anchor in Hvar and venture up the River Neretva. Check out the beautiful town of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, wander through the romantic Old Town of Korcula and enjoy tastings at a local winery, then dock in the walled city of Dubrovnik – whether you’re a Game of Thrones fan or just looking for a beautiful place to explore, this is the perfect city to end in (and stay longer, if you can)!
Highlights
- Sail up the spectacular Neretva River in a traditional wooden boat to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
- Taste some local olive oil at the local museum in Brac – the longest island in central Dalmatia – before exploring this gorgeous island at your own pace.
- Explore the beautiful town of Mostar – check out the town’s iconic bridge and see how traditional Bosnian coffee is made followed by a sample of this delicious brew.
- Spend more time exploring the beautiful Croatian coast and less time on the boat with plenty of port stops and offshore activities.
- Drop anchor in the middle of port towns like Hvar or Korcula and explore straight off the boat – one of the many benefits of small-ship cruising.

This trip was even better than I could have imagined! Our trip leaders, Ziggy and Petar, were very knowledgeable and super helpful. We only had to unpack once and got to see beautiful places, eat wonderful food, meet new friends, and frolic in the sea! I thought the trip was well balanced between some more physical days, with more chill days, which was great. This was an amazing vacation, and I was telling people back home "you have to do this trip" before we even got home! This was our first trip with Intrepid, and I am already looking for our next one!

This trip was so enjoyable and unique that I can't wait to take another Intrepid trip! Do to the small number of people on the ship and exciting opportunities to really get to know the other guests, it felt like being on a yacht with 35 of your friends! Really enjoyed Zigi, our tour guide, and believe that he really made this trip amazing! He is an extremely intelligent, charismatic, and accommodating person who brings out the charm in the places we visited. Intrepid is lucky to have him as he represents the company extremely well!

Overall a fantastic cruise and an amazing way to see Croatia. Highly recommend this trip and huge thanks to zigi and the crew!

Wonderful cruise. Our group leader Ziggy was incredible and the entire staff was outstanding. The ship was beautiful and our cabin was plenty spacious. The food was great and the tours gave us a nice understanding of Croatia.

We were first time intrepid travelers and this trip exceeded all expectations. Croatia is a jewel and ziggy was a fantastic leader. The people on the trip with us made it extra special. We were sad to leave.

This trip was absolutely the best. It by far exceeded all of my expectations. The country was breathtaking. I left feeling refreshed, fulfilled, and knowledgeable. I did and saw everything I desired to see and more while learning so much along the way.

The Croatian Coastal Cruising trip is a mixture of relaxation adventure culture and fine food plenty of memorable activities and friendships
09/20/2023
This trip was a fun, enjoyable, memorable experience. Korcula and Stari Grad were our favourites places to visit along with the swim stops. Split and Dubrovnik were great pillars to start and end at. Border crossings in/out of Bosnia were too long but out of Intrepids control. It would be great to feature more "culture" within the cuisine and drinks offered on the boat, maybe a feature dish/drink every other meal. Aurora was a great vessel to be on with approximately 40 people on board including the crew. Asking guests to wear name tags for the first couple lunches/dinners/meals may help everyone learn each other's names faster.

Beautiful Croatia exceeded my expectations. The magical swim stops, enthusiastic leaders and crew, awesome boat all made for a wonderful trip.

Can not recommend the sail week through intrepid enough a good mix of age groups, comfortable boat and amazing crew and leaders

My wife and I had a truly memorable boat trip down the Croatian coast led by two lovely and knowledgeable local tour leaders. The small group had a mix of ages and genders. The trip was relaxing and allowed unique on-shore trips to local (less visited) places and communities.

This tour benefited from wonderful, warm, well informed and engaging tour guides, excellent meals (including vegan) and a relaxed and interesting itinerary. The tour included connecting with some locals in less travelled locations. The boat was very comfortable and it felt good to be part of a group of only 30 guests. Swimming iff the boat most days was a highlight. We had perfect weather.

Croatia was a little surprise packet. Filled with medieval towns with cobbled streets and heaps of history. The cruise is small and very comfortable. Food is local and more than enough on board. Nice idea to eat at different locations to experience the locals and pass the love around.
07/28/2023
The only way to experience Croatia. You truly appreciate the landscape and beauty from the sea. This tour was worth every penny. There was enough planned time and free time to accommodate any traveler. I do this trip again in a heartbeat.

It was fantastic trip. The staff were wonderful and took us to some amazing places. It was a good combination of free time, down time and adventure
07/31/2023
This boat trip was excellent, very relaxing but had heaps of activities to do. The tours off the boat were also excellent. The upper deck was the place to be and you could move from sun to shade. Having the hot tube was great. Food also was great.
07/22/2023
Fantastic trip, lots to do, but with enough free time to enjoy the scenery and local lifestyle, excellent guides and other passengers were a delight.

We had an incredible week celebrating our honeymoon, experiencing what Croatia has to offer. Our guide and the crew were passionate about their country and their jobs. They were knowledgable, hospitable and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. The room and board, excursions, swim stops and Croatia on a whole exceeded our expectations. We would certainly recommend this to anyone, regardless of their age. The trip is the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure.
