OPTIONAL CROATIA CRUISE PRE-TRIP

Join us a week prior, June 23-30, to cruise in comfort aboard a sleek new mega-yacht, m/v Black Swan, which we’ve chartered for the week. With only 30 passengers onboard this 38-passenger ship, we’ll enjoy the sundeck, hot tub, air-conditioned dining room and rear platform for refreshing swim stops in the crystal-clear Adriatic.

SAT, June 30 | From Split to Zadar to the island of Pag

From our meeting point in Split, we’ll depart this morning to Zadar, a historical Dalmatian town with a modern new highlight: the Sea Organ. Free time in Zadar. An hour’s drive north is the island of Pag where we’ll stay for two nights at the Boskinac Hotel & Winery, featured in Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations.” Of the food and wine in Croatia his favorite expression was, ”Holy s*** that’s good!” After sampling the Chef’s multi-course tasting menu, you’ll agree!

SUN, July 1 | Pag

Today, visit an ancient olive grove on the northern-most part of the island, for an olive oil tasting and guided tour of the estate.

MON, July 2 | From Pag to Plitvice Lakes to Opatija

Highlight of today’s journey is Plitvice, a UNESCO-protected national park famous for its 16 cascading lakes. We’ll walk for a few hours on elevated wooden platforms to experience some of the world’s most gorgeous scenes. It’s a “wow” (world of waterfalls)!

Continue to Opatija, where we’ll enjoy three nights in a sea-view room at the Hotel Palace Bellevue.

TUE, July 3 | Explore Opatija

Enjoy this day at leisure. We’ll have a leisurely walking tour of the seaside promenade, main park and old Austrian villas of this pleasant resort town – a favorite of European royalty from 170 years ago.

WED, July 4 | Explore the Istrian Peninsula

During this full-day excursion to Croatia’s “Tuscany,” you’ll discover 6th-century basilicas to visit, mosaics to marvel over, cobblestone streets to scamper and truffles to hunt!

We’ll head further north into Slovenia, where we’ll visit Postojna caves and make a photo stop of Predjama Castle. Arrive in Ljubljana late this afternoon and check into Hotel Cubo for the next two nights. Later, a surprise!
