Pearls of Adriatic cruise

Start & end in Trogir 8 days Up to 36

About this trip

An eight-day cruise along the Croatian coast, moving between bays and old port towns aboard a small ship, with time built in for swimming and simply being on the water.

Guided walks take you through Trogir, Split and Dubrovnik, three of the coast's best-known historic towns, while the days between are left open for sunbathing on deck and swimming in quieter coves.

It's an easy-paced trip suited to travelling with a small group rather than a packed itinerary — the sea and the towns do most of the work.

What you'll do

  • Swim in a secluded bay along the Adriatic coast
  • Guided walking tour of Trogir's old town
  • Explore UNESCO-listed Split with a local guide
  • Guided tour of Dubrovnik's old city
  • Relax on the ship's sun deck between stops
Good to know
  • Easy pace, with guided tours covering the main towns and free time for swimming and sunbathing
  • Partially guided — some days are left unstructured
  • You have your own private cabin rather than sharing
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you're flexible on cabin allocation, embrace the mix of nationalities, and budget for drinks plus tips. Think twice if you need guaranteed sleep or specific vessel details confirmed beforehand.

  • Cabin quality varies wildly; lower decks prone to noise from gangplanks and generators, bathrooms may smell.
  • Language mix real issue: one couple booked English cruise, got German-language group instead despite guide provided.
  • Crew consistently praised as attentive and friendly; meals abundant and excellent, with frequent swimming stops.
  • Budget hidden costs: drinks, tips minimum 70 euros per cabin, port taxes; bring own beach towel and toiletries.
