Croatia Gulet cruise – Split to Dubrovnik

Croatia Gulet cruise – Split to Dubrovnik

From EUR €1,220

Description

A classic croatia cruise on a beautiful gulet. You will cruise to the islands, harbours and small bays of Croatia’s coastline.

Each day starts with breakfast on board, though the more energetic passengers will often take a short walk or a swim before breakfast. We can relax and watch the scenery go by while sipping coffee and there will be a stop on most mornings for a swim in a small bay. Lunch will either be taken whilst cruising or shortly after we arrive – we usually cruise for around 4 hours per day. So you can spend your mornings admiring the spectacular scenery, swimming in the crystal clear Adriatic Sea and relaxing on deck.

On several afternoons you can take a walk to explore the ancient towns on your own. In the evenings you can take your pick from the many restaurants, cafes and bars of these old historical towns – It will almost certainly be warm enough to sit outside and enjoy a meal in the open air.

Although we travel by gulet, this is as much about the places we visit than the cruise – Think of your vessel as a very small boutique hotel that means you can wake up in a different place every morning in a small intimate port that even small traditional cruise ships cannot get close to but where hotel accommodation is extremely hard to find.

All you will need is a few T-shirts, some shorts (and occasionally a very light jacket for the evenings) and a swimming costume. During the day you can swim, snorkel, sunbathe, and explore the underworld of the Adriatic Sea. The evenings you have free to find a good restaurant or discover old churches or other historical monuments…

On nights when you anchor near port the crew will be happy to run you to and from the harbour in the vessels dingy. Water taxis are also available.

The price includes: 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches and 2 dinners, still water, tea and coffee. 7 days cruising, 4 crew members, insurance, port and tourist taxes, fuel for 4 hours daily navigation, up to 5 hours of generator work per day (for AC), bed sheets and towels, beach towels, Wi – Fi Internet (1 GB/day).

The price doesn’t include: transfers, taxi boat, entrances to national parks, private marina fees (on client’s request), more than 5 hours of AC work daily (20€ per hour), water sports, drinks, tips for the crew, and all personal expenses not mentioned above.
