Tour Overview

Fascinating history, untouched natural beauty and exceptional cuisine, Croatia has it all and cruising is one of the best ways to experience everything this amazing destination has to offer. 

On this unforgettable holiday, your gorgeous floating hotel will take you to two well-known historic cities, an array of picturesque islands and here’s the best bit, you only have to unpack once!

We’ve searched high and low to find a beautiful ship that’s small enough to visit Croatia’s tiny unspoilt islands, yet large enough for everyone to have the comfort and space they need to relax. The MV Adriatic Pearl carries less than 40 passengers, and we’ve chartered it exclusively so the only people on board will be your crew and other Travelsphere holidaymakers.

The carefully crafted itinerary includes guided tours of must-see sights and enough free time for you to make the holiday your own. Delve into the history of your destination, soak up the atmosphere or sample the local cuisine – the choice is yours! And, on top of all that, as you cruise from port to port, you can soak up the sun on deck and swim in the crystal-clear waters of secluded coves and shimmering bays.

Tour Itinerary

UK - Croatia

Day 1 UK - Croatia

Your holiday starts today with a flight to Split, Croatia’s second-largest city.

There’s plenty of space to relax as you cruise from port to port and the ship will make swim stops along the way so that you can cool off in the glittering Adriatic. This evening you will enjoy a welcome cocktail and dinner on board. The ship will remain docked at Marina Baotic overnight. Meals included: D
Next day

Day 2 Trogir - Krka National Park - Zadar

After breakfast, we’ll meet up with our Local Guide for a walking tour around the historic highlights of Trogir. Wander through the cobblestone streets lined with medieval buildings and visit the Cathedral of St. Lawrence that dominates the Old Towns skyline. Here you’ll see Radovan’s Portal, the intricately designed doorway of the cathedral which garners as much interest and attention as the building itself.

Afterwards time in Trogir, we'll head off to visit Krka National Park. This is a highlight for many travellers to Croatia where crystal-clear lakes are fed by stunning waterfalls and surrounded by lush greenery. We’ll walk along trails to see some of the natural wonders here - one of the most recognisable is the Skradinski Buk falls, a collection of 17 waterfalls.

Finally, we’ll drive to the medieval walled city of Zadar for a two-night stay. There is time to settle into your hotel and explore at leisure before we meet for dinner this evening. Meals included: B,D
Next day

Day 3 Zadar

This morning we'll join our Local Guide and embark on a walking tour of the beautiful city of Zadar, which has a history spanning three millennia and is a treasure trove of Roman ruins, medieval churches and charming squares dotted with cafes. You'll love the old frescoes of the Romanesque Zadar Cathedral, while the Church of St Donatus, with its distinctive circular shape, contains columns recycled from the old Roman Forum.

But that’s not all – Zadar is home to the Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun installations. The first is an experimental instrument built into marble steps - as waves pass through pipes under marble steps, a relaxing sound is created. The later, is a solar-powered installation by the same architect which collects energy during the day and comes to life at night.

Following the city tour, we’ll get a taste of the local culture when we are welcomed by the Konoba family for lunch. Here we'll enjoy the popular Croatian speciality 'peka' - a traditional dish of meat and vegetables that is cooked 'under the bell'. This is a very famous way of preparing food that is typically cooked to order in restaurants or at home for special occasions. Food is placed in a metal pan then covered by a second pan, forming a closed metal oven and placed inside a fireplace – you’ll find that the food that has been cooked this way, retains all the delicious flavours.

This afternoon is free to explore Zadar at your own pace, why not head back to the Greeting to the Sun installation later this evening and see the memorising light display Meals included: B,L

This afternoon we'll travel to Marina Baotic, where we'll board our home for the rest of the trip, the MV Adriatic Pearl. Chartered exclusively for Travelsphere guests, this beautiful vessel carries a maximum of 36 passengers and features a spacious sunbathing area, hot tub and swimming platform. There’s plenty of space to relax as you cruise from port to port and the ship will make swim stops along the way so that you can cool off in the glittering Adriatic.
