Introduction
This guided cycling cruise tour in southern Dalmatia starts and ends in Split and explores the stunning coastlines, medieval towns, old villages, and picturesque bays of the region.
Highlights include visiting great beaches, vineyards, pine woods, cycling on the historic islands and exploring Mljet National Park. Croatia is a land of beautiful islands, rich history, Mediterranean vegetation and mild climate. The best way to explore it is, without a doubt, by bike.
Premium Ships

Cycling Route
The length of the daily cycling routes is estimated and informative and depends on various detours or short cuts that can be done. Sailing and cycling routes may be changed on the spot due to weather conditions and capability of the respective cyclists on board. Departure is during morning hours, mostly after breakfast.

Swimming Breaks
In good weather and depending on timings there will be regular swim stops while the vessel anchors in secluded bays or after the cycling before departure to the next island.
