Europe Mediterranean Cruise

Croatia Under Sail: Dubrovnik, Split & Zadar Aboard the Sea Cloud Fleet

Set sail aboard the incomparable Sea Cloud fleet as you trace the scenic coast of Croatia, exploring the cities, cultures and cuisine that left a lasting influence on Central Europe. Step into ancient walled cities like Zadar, Rovinj and Dubrovnik, rife with relics that tell stories of centuries-old wars and empires. Sip on locally-made wines from family-owned vineyards and savor regional culinary delights in charming coastal towns.

This cruise offers a laundry list of takeaways. Bask in the romance of tall ship sailing as you cruise the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea among picturesque isles. Discover ancient ruins, centuries-old architecture and several UNESCO World Heritage sites that narrate the story of Croatia’s past. In Pula, discover the impressive amphitheater built in the first century A.D.—the only remaining Roman amphitheater to have four side towers entirely preserved. Learn about the rich history of Vis island, from its traditional falkušas—boats used in Europe’s oldest regatta—to Tito’s once-secret Cold War tunnels. And witness a traditional Moreska sword dance performance on Korčula and enjoy a traditional peka lunch at a family-owned winery in Komiža.

Sail Croatia’s idyllic coast aboard 58-guest Sea Cloud or 94-guest Sea Cloud II, each an exclusive charter based on the historic windjammer Sea Cloud. Relax aboard your romantic tall ship while crew members climb the rigging and hoist the sails. Cruise alongside a team of expert guides who reveal the awesome history, culture and nature of the region.
