Quick Getaways: Croatia Calling
4 nights
Wind Spirit
27 Aug '27Cruise overview
Embark on the perfect brief getaway or add an Adriatic exploration to your European vacation plans with this memorable four-day sailing from Venice to the most iconic and romantic ports in Croatia. Roll into the countryside beyond Rovinj on a cycling tour tracing the Parenzana Trail–a former Hapsburg Empire railroad line curving through rustic villages, dense forests, and weathered tunnels. Relax aboard a sailboat outbound from Zadar to the tiny island of Ugljan, where you’ll swim, snorkel, sunbathe, and later savor local cheeses, savory meats and fresh local fruits. Admire garden views and the Hvar landscape during an authentic traditional brunch at an Old World family estate. Wander the cobblestone alleys of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, or dip a kayak blade into the calm waters off scenic Lokrum Island as you follow your guide to caves and the crumbling remains of a nearly forgotten monastery.
Itinerary
Venice
Venice is a city unlike any other. No matter how often you’ve seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. With canals where streets should be, water shimmers everywhere. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is a quintessential part of exploring Venice, but at some point you’ll almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, where tourists and locals congregate for a coffee or an aperitif.
