Faqs

  • Split: What’s the difference between the rooms on the boats? Standard boats will have sun-decks so you can soak up the sunlight. Premium boats (the Plus version of our trip has Premium boats) have larger sundecks with a mid-weekly linen service. And as the name suggests - Luxe boats have bigger rooms and a special food menu.
  • Split: Do the rooms on the boat have air conditioning? Yep, all bedrooms on the boats have air conditioning. They’re small and fit perfectly into the cabins (and work great for a quick cool down).
  • Split: Do all rooms on the boats have shared toilets? All rooms are fitted with an ensuite. The premium boats tend to have bigger bathrooms.
  • Split: At what time will we be docking back into the last city? If the weather gods are on our side (which they usually are), we should be docking back up in Split at 3PM.
  • Split: Can I share the room with my partner or friends? Yes, mostly. If you’ve booked together with a partner or a friend on a twin-share trip, you’ll be roomed together. If you’re travelling with your friends on a multi-share trip, and have made separate bookings, don’t forget to tell our 24/7 support team that you’re travelling together. The Trip Manager will always try their best to put you in the same room. But please note, this can’t always be guaranteed.

Included Experience

  • Mljet National Park: Magnificent Mljet is a famous island, known for its salt lakes, caves, wildlife and monasteries. On this visit, you’ll have the choice between touring the monasteries and natural landscapes with the cruise manager, or hiring a bike/kayak and setting out on a tour of your own.
  • Korčula: This 13th Century walled city is framed by terracotta-topped buildings, rugged mountain scenescapes and turquoise waters.  
  • Split: Check out one of the best-preserved Roman buildings in the world. So beautiful, you’ll want to move in!
