You will rave about your trip by bike and boat in Croatia for a long time: You will sail across the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea on your motorsailer to the islands of Krk, Rab and Cres in the Kvarner Bay. Once ashore, you cycle along hidden paths to secluded bays, get to know the historic center of old harbor towns, wave to grazing sheep as you pass by and relax under the shady pine forests. Back on board, cool off with a quick dip in the waves, whose waters are so clear you can see the bottom of the sea with the naked eye. You enjoy the last rays of the Mediterranean sun on the sundeck, which is only replaced late by the twinkling of the stars.

You can choose the category in which you would like to book the Boat and Bike in Croatia tour: In the Comfort category you travel on the motor sailers MS Planka, MS Sveti Vid and MS Kazimir. On these three charming ships, you will be accommodated in rather small cabins.
In the Premium category, the motorsailer MS Aria will take you safely and comfortably through the Kvarner Bay.
