Small Ship  │ Cruise │ 8 Days │ From $839

Experience the magic of Croatia’s Adriatic Coast on a casual cruise along its stunning coast. Discover quaint towns, islands and secluded villages on this small ship cruise. Enjoy your days swimming, snorkeling, relaxing on the beach and exploring the Dalmatian islands of Mljet, Hvar and Korcula. Visit towns of Trsteno, Makarska and admire the Croatian beauty of Dubrovnik.

The Adriatic Breeze itinerary is an excellent choice for a casual cruise that starts and ends in Split, but will also have departures from Dubrovnik in the summer of 2012.  This is one of our best sellers among the small ship cruises on the Adriatic; the ships are only a few years old, the cabins are air conditioned, and the rate is very competitive.  Starting and ending your cruise in Split is really convenient for visiting the nearby delightful town of Trogir, a day trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park, and for making even a longer vacation extension towards the northern and southern parts of the coast, and inland, as well.

The Adriatic Beeze is a value priced cruise starting from $839 at Jauntee – Croatia Expert Travel Planning.
