Island-hopping along Croatia's coast

8 days from £2,595 per person based on 2 sharing

With medieval cities, hidden coves, and crystal-clear Adriatic waters, Croatia's coastline is best experienced from the sea. Sailing aboard the intimate M/S Aurora, you'll island-hop between historic ports, swim in secluded bays, and discover a slower side to the Adriatic that larger cruise ships simply can't access. Combining relaxed days on the water with time ashore in Croatia's most beautiful destinations, this is a wonderfully immersive way to explore one of Europe's most captivating coastlines.
  • Your journey begins in Split, before sailing between the Dalmatian islands towards Dubrovnik, stopping at picturesque harbours and quiet anchorages along the way. Wander through the cobbled streets of Hvar, explore the historic waterfront of Korčula, or simply enjoy a coffee overlooking the harbour as fishing boats drift in and out beneath centuries-old stone buildings.

  • Spend a morning with a swim stop in a secluded bay before cruising onwards to the next island, and while away afternoons exploring at your own pace. With just a small number of fellow travellers onboard, the atmosphere is relaxed and sociable, allowing you to experience Croatia's coastline in a far more personal way than traditional ocean cruising.

  • The journey isn't just about the destinations but the people you'll meet along the way. As a Certified B Corporation™, Intrepid Travel works closely with local communities, creating experiences that support the places you visit and provide a more authentic connection to Croatian life. From locally owned restaurants and family-run businesses to knowledgeable local leaders, every stop offers a deeper insight into the region and helps ensure tourism benefits the communities that call these islands home.

  • The voyage finishes in the magnificent city of Dubrovnik, where marble streets, ancient city walls, and panoramic Adriatic views provide a fitting finale. Spend your final day wandering through the UNESCO-listed Old Town, walking the famous city walls, or lingering over a long lunch overlooking the sea before heading home with a completely different perspective on Croatia.

• Deck Standard Twin/Double Cabin; including 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches, and 3 dinners
