Croatian Coastal Cruising: Dubrovnik to Split (Aurora)




Overview
Highlights
- Board a traditional vessel and sail up along the spectacular Neretva River, inland from Opuzen.
- Discover Krka National Park, where you’ll get to see stunning waterfalls and secluded pools.
- While large cruise liners have to moor out at sea and commute into shore via tender, you'll drop anchor in the middle of port towns like Hvar or Korcula. You can hop on or off the boat as you please.
- Dive into the aquamarine waters of the Dalmatian Coast. Weather permitting, our captain will be stopping the ship for regular swim breaks during the trip.
- Take a detour to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is not a stop featured on many Croatian coastal tours! You’ll see the town’s iconic bridge and have the chance to watch a coffee demonstration.
