Croatia by Bike and Boat

Travelling by boat and bike in Croatia means sun, beach and sea! Join us on a journey along the most beautiful stretches of the Croatian Adriatic coast – in Dalmatia and Istria. Along the rocky shores, on kilometres of beaches and in centuries-old cities such as Dubrovnik and Split, you’ll experience the Mediterranean flair of this beautiful corner of Europe, both on land and at sea. See for yourself!

Our boat and cycle tours in Croatia start either in Rijeka, Pula or the Dalmatian port cities of Zadar and Trogir. There are airports not far from all starting points. From southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria, you’ll find good road links by car. All cycle tours are accompanied or led by a tour guide. If you’d rather not cycle on any particular day, you can easily spend the time on board instead. You’ll spend your trip on a classic wooden motor-sailer or a premium-class steel vessel, depending on which tour you choose. Incidentally, some trips are bookable until the end of October.

If you’re looking for a cruise and cycle holiday in Croatia, you’ll find a wide range of itineraries and ships to choose from. Discover the beauty of the Croatian coastal landscape and its many islands, both by sea and by land.

How you choose to travel by boat and bike in Croatia is entirely up to you. If you prefer to travel on a classic, modernly designed wooden boat that offers less space but more cosiness, we recommend a trip on the MS Aneta, the MS Planka or the MS Dalmatino. A relaxed atmosphere is included! If a premium ship is more to your taste, book a trip on the MS Columbo, the MS Aria or the MS Carpe Diem. The advantages here include more comfortable cabins, a spacious sun deck and a swimming platform on board. You can take a direct dip into the refreshing sea from both types of ship – either from the platform or the railing.

On the MS Aneta, you’ll travel from island to island in Central and Southern Dalmatia. Visit the historic old towns of Split and Dubrovnik, and sample the famous full-bodied Dingač red wine on the Pelješac Peninsula. The same tour is also available on the MS Columbo. This motor-sailer, built in 2009, also sets sail on a swimming cruise in southern Dalmatia. Short cycle rides, plenty of swimming breaks and a rafting trip are all on the itinerary. The simple activities are ideal for families with older children. The MS Planka is a real island hopper. You can easily sail across the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean to the islands of Krk, Rab, Pag and Cres. Different ship, same route, same travel pleasure: With the premium ship MS Aria, you will experience the varied landscape of green hills, rugged cliffs and azure bays. On the MS Dalmatino, you will travel through the island world of northern Dalmatia. You cycle through the Kornati National Park, follow in Winnetou's footsteps and enjoy the refreshing waters of the Krka waterfalls. With the MS Carpe Diem, you will experience the same route.

Travel by boat and bike in Croatia also takes you to Istria. The peninsula in the northern Adriatic once belonged to the Roman Empire, which has left its architectural and cultural traces behind. You can experience even more bathing fun on a bathing cruise in Kvarner Bay. From Rijeka, you can travel on the MS Kapetan Kuka and the MS Maček. The ships each have a bathing platform - swimming fun guaranteed!
