Sailing Croatia’s stunning coastlines

10th April 2025 By James McDonald

Following the successful launch of two Luxury Hike Cruise itineraries for Summer 2025, Sail Croatia has added a third itinerary into the mix for Summer 2026, with the addition of a new Dubrovnik to Split Luxury Hike Cruise.

Blending adventure with luxury, this itinerary takes you on a variety of hiking trails across diverse terrains, showcasing spectacular coastal vistas and panoramic sea views, all while enjoying the comfort of staying on a luxury small ship.

The Dubrovnik to Split itinerary cruises north from Dubrovnik, offering a scenic journey that starts with an overnight stay in Sipan, followed by a day exploring Mljet, one of Croatia’s greenest islands. Other highlights include the islands of Korcula, Hvar and Brac, as well as the charming mainland destinations of Gradac and Split where the cruise ends.

All three Luxury Hike Cruise itineraries operate exclusively on Salve di Mare, one of the newest ships in the Sail Croatia fleet, featuring a jacuzzi, multiple sun deck areas, a swim platform and generous spaces to relax. With a maximum capacity of just 40 guests, she offers an intimate atmosphere, perfect for socialising and making new friends.

A choice of six departures are on offer, with prices starting from £1,479 per person for the 25 April 2026 sailing of the new Dubrovnik to Split itinerary, based on two sharing.

All Hike Cruises are led by a professional guide who will plan daily excursions that allow guests to enjoy themselves while exploring the native flora, fauna and natural beauty of Dalmatia.

Included in the cruise is breakfast and lunch daily, Nature Park entrance, wifi and the services of an experienced hiking guide.

Flights are not included but offered by a choice of airlines from the UK.
