Bathing cruises

Sun, beach and sea – that alone sounds like a wonderful vacation. If that's not enough, you'll still find that little something extra on our bathing cruises.

Your hotel is a comfortable motor sailer that will take you to a new city every day, to a new highlight of your trip. You will get to know picturesque old towns and idyllic fishing villages. On short bike tours you will explore green hills and fragrant forests, always with the glittering sea in view. You want to experience even more? No problem – rafting and kayak tours, waterfalls and boat trips also define the program. Whenever possible, the ship anchors. This gives you the opportunity to take a dip in the crystal clear waters of the numerous hidden swimming bays. Perhaps that's why the bathing cruises are so popular with families.

And if you feel like relaxing, just stay on board. Enjoy the magnificent view with a cappuccino on the sun deck.

Frequently asked questions about swimming cruises

Search FAQs

When is the best time of year for a cycling holiday by the water?

That depends on your destination. The Carinthian lakes and Lake Garda are ideal from May to September; Croatia and the Adriatic are particularly good from June to September; and Puglia is even good right through to October. If you’d like to travel early in the year, you’ll also find tours available from March and April.

How much time is there actually left for swimming on these tours?

More than you might think. With stages ranging from 30 to 45 kilometres, you’ll usually reach your destination in the early afternoon – and the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. On swimming cruises, swimming is an integral part of the daily programme.
