Welcome to Croatia

To experience Croatia with us is to become thoroughly engaged in a country with endless cultural offerings perfectly blended with sun-drenched beaches, and shockingly beautiful islands. From the Medieval city of Dubrovnik with its quaint Old Town.... to a local vineyard on the Dalmatian Coast... to the stunningly scenic Krka National Park, this destination offers a multitude of treasures ripe for exploration.

Dubrovnik's old town, discovering old town dubrovnik... croatia's "pearl of the adriatic".

Preserved as the world's largest restored UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medieval Old City of Dubrovnik on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast – nicknamed "the Pearl of the Adriatic" – has been blessed with a wealth of magnificent Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces, squares, cobbled streets, fountains, and medieval ramparts, all cut from the same beautiful stone. Its treasures include the Dominican Monastery, the Rector's Palace, Dubrovnik Synagogue and much more. You can explore this remarkably well-preserved city from above by cable car, or on guided walking tours of Old Town or along the ancient city walls.

Krka National Park, Croatia

Enjoying croatia's natural treasures at krka national park.

Croatia's Krka National Park is a vast and primarily unaltered area of exceptional natural value, comprising some of the loveliest sections of the Krka River, as well as the lower course of the Čikola River. The park, home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, encompasses seven significant waterfalls; two of its most popular attractions are Skradinski Buk, a clear, natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and cascades at the other; and Roški Slap, the sixth waterfall of the Krka River. The national park also features hiking trails, boat trips, gift shops, a museum and restaurants, and the unpreserved ruins of several fortresses dating back to Roman times.

The Bay of Kotor, Montenegro

Sailing into montenegro's dramatic bay of kotor aboard your tauck small ship... unforgettable.

While the beautiful Bay of Kotor on the Adriatic Sea in Montenegro is sometimes referred to as Europe's southernmost fjord, it's technically a ria – a submerged river canyon. But that matters little as you arrive at the bay aboard your Tauck small ship… because the experience of sailing into this stunning port – ringed by dramatic limestone cliffs and dominated by the fortified medieval city of Kotor itself – is inspiring and unforgettable.

Often robust – may include long days, active sightseeing, early starts, evening activities, significant travel times.

Along Europe's Scenic "Yellow Roads"

A necklace of historic cities, sprawling vineyards & gor­geous beaches – along a sun-drenched coastline that's best described in jewels...  There's a reason why the Adriatic Coast is a must-go travel destination… 

Meet croatia's former minister of tourism, a discussion with croatia's former minister of tourism in zagreb.

After receiving a master's Degree in tourism economics at the Faculty of Economics and Business in Zagreb, Dubrovnik native Pave Zupan Ruskovic spent decades as an innovative and award-winning executive in the international tourism industry before being named Croatia's Minister of Tourism in 2000. During her tenure, she oversaw one of the most important periods in the development of Croatian tourism after the conflicts of the 1990s, and spearheaded Croatia's participation in the United Nations World Tourism Organization. In Zagreb, you'll meet Ms. Zupan Ruskovic for an insightful conversation about life and tourism in Croatia today.

Slovenia's Postojna Caves

Explore slovenia's postojna caves on an exclusive early train tour.

Today one of Slovenia's most-visited attractions, the Postojna Caves near Ljubljana became a tourist destination after the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Ferdinand visited them in 1819. An extensive series of subterranean limestone karst caves carved by the Pivka River over some two million years, the Postojna system comprises four interconnected caves with features including Big Mountain Hall, Spaghetti Hall, Concert Hall, an iconic formation known as "Brilliant," and the only underground post office on Earth. On an early-morning visit, you'll explore the caves both on foot and aboard the 21st-century version of an electric train that began service a century ago.

Owned off and on since the 16th century by the noble Drašković family and now a Croatian national historic site, the fortress known as Trakošćan Castle dates back to the 13th century, but the current neo-Gothic structure you'll visit today was reconstructed in the mid-1800s. On your exclusive early-opening visit for Tauck guests only, you'll be welcomed to the castle by Renaissance-costumed knights and ladies-in-waiting, and treated to a guided tour followed by lunch inside the castle's opulent Knights' Hall.

Adriatic Treasures: Croatia to Venice

Itinerary Expand All

Day 1: arrive dubrovnik, croatia.

Tour begins: 5:30 PM, Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik . A transfer is included upon your arrival from Dubrovnik Airport to Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik – a historic hotel overlooking the Adriatic Sea, just steps the medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meet a lecturer this evening who shares expert insights, past and present, about the country formerly known as Yugoslavia and the places you'll explore on this trip, before joining him for an intimate welcome dinner at a popular restaurant, accompanied by a private performance of traditional Croatian a capella "klapa" singing. Stay Three Nights: Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik (D)

Day 2: Dubrovnik, Croatia

Rise and shine this morning for a day of cultural delights. Ride a cable car to the top of Srd Hill for dazzling views of Dubrovnik and the surrounding landscapes. Get a closer perspective when you descend for a walking tour through Old Town and visit the Main Square. Dubrovnik's Old Town is completely surrounded by enormous stone walls that date back to the 10th century; view them from the outside on a boat ride along the walls.

En route back to your hotel, stop in the village of Gruda to meet an "academic artist" who serves as the keeper of local traditions. During your visit, she will present a step-by-step tutorial on silk making as you are treated to homemade juice and cake typical of this region. (B/L)

Day 3: Kotor, Montenegro

Cross the border into neighboring Montenegro and drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kotor for a walking tour of this historic city (also known today for its large population of cats, a contemporary symbol of the city), and a visit to the Maritime Museum. Continue to the tiny bay-front village of Perast, built by wealthy sea captains during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Walk past the town's stone houses to the pier for a sail to the man-made islet of Our Lady of the Rocks, topped by a lone church and steeped in legends. Back on shore, enjoy views of Montenegro's coast on your return trip to Dubrovnik for dinner at your hotel. (B/D)

Day 4: Split, Croatia

Depart for Split this morning, driving through Dalmatian landscapes of seaside villages and farmland to the village of Orašac, founded in 1040. A family-hosted visit to a private farm reveals the time-honored steps of producing olive oil the old-fashioned way and includes a morning snack of fresh cow cheese, home-grown vegetables, warm-from-the-oven bread and wine.

Drive to Bosnia for a visit to Mostar and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. Damaged during the 1990s conflict, the Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been rebuilt, as have many of the edifices in the Old Town. A guided walking tour ends with a visit to the Museum of Herzegovina. Late afternoon, drive to Split for a two-night stay. Stay Two Nights: Hotel Park (Split) (B/D)

Day 5: Split, Croatia

See the acclaimed collection of works by Croatia's premier modern sculptor, Ivan Meštrovíc, at the gallery he built as his private residence. Drive to Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by the Roman emperor Diocletian as his retirement home between the late 3rd and the early 4th centuries using local limestone and Brac marble; the city of Split later grew up around the palace. A walking tour of the vast palace complex includes the palace cellars. The rest of the day is yours to explore Split as you please. (B/L)

Day 6: Zagreb, Croatia

Take a scenic drive to Krka National Park to see its spectacular waterfalls and inherent natural beauty. From there, board a boat and sail to Skradin for a visit to ROCA, the House of Dalmatian Smoked Ham, a talk with a farmer and a wedding-style lunch featuring traditional culinary specialties and entertainment. Fly to Zagreb this afternoon for a two-night stay in Croatia's capital city. Stay Two Nights: Esplanade Zagreb Hotel (B/L)

Day 7: Zagreb, Croatia

Strategically located at the crossroads where western and eastern Europe meet, Croatia's capital city of Zagreb is a blend of old and new, informed by wars and steeped in culture. Start off your day by meeting Croatia's former Minister of Tourism for a discussion on current affairs before setting out to explore Zagreb on foot, the best way to experience this fascinating city.

Join our local guides for a walking tour that includes the neo-Gothic Cathedral, a cheese tasting at the fresh market, the main square and a funicular ride to the Upper Town, where you will have lunch at a local restaurant. The rest of the day is free to spend as you please; enjoy dinner at your leisure at your hotel tonight. (B/L/D)

Day 8: Ljubljana, Slovenia

One of the most impressive castles in Croatia, Trakošćan Castle dates back to the 13th century and reflects myriad architectural styles and restorations over its 800+-year history. Costumed knights and ladies-in-waiting welcome you to the castle for a tour and lunch inside the Knights' Hall, open exclusively for Tauck guests only.

Your final destination today is Ljubljana, Slovenia, where your high-rise city-center hotel overlooks the heart of the city. Take a walking tour of Slovenia's capital before enjoying a taste of local culture during dinner at a popular local restaurant. Stay Two Nights: InterContinental Ljublijana (B/L/D)

Day 9: Ljubljana, Slovenia

Ride a funicular up to Ljubljana Castle this morning; savor panoramic city views and tastings of local cookies, teran liqueur and honey. Drive next to a gingerbread-making workshop in a country village to see how these beloved decorated pastries have been made for centuries, with a tasting of course! Lunch is followed by a visit to 1,000 year-old Bled Castle that includes a live printing demonstration, a talk with the cellar master about the castle's famous wines and entrance to the upper courtyard museum to learn about the history of Bled. Return to Ljubljana to spend the rest of the day and evening as you wish. (B/L)

Day 10: Postojna Caves & A Truffle Farm

We've arranged an early morning, Tauck Exclusive, visit to a subterranean world of caverns, halls and passages some two million years in the making when you explore the surprise-filled Postojna Caves from aboard a private electric train and on a guided walk. Then, you're off for an experience at a family-owned truffle farm, where you'll learn about the truffle-hunting process, meet the dogs who sniff out this underground delicacy, and enjoy a tasting followed by a light lunch. Arrive early this evening in Rovijn, located on the west coast of the Istrian Peninsula for a two-night stay. Stay Two Nights: Grand Park Hotel Rovinj (B/L/D)

Day 11: Rovinj, Croatia

Arrive in Pula, at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula, for a visit to its great amphitheatre, constructed between 27 BC – 68 AD, much of it still standing and used today. Enjoy lunch at your leisure in the fishing village of Rovinj. Late afternoon, enjoy a guided tour of the House of Batana, dedicated to the flat-bottomed fishing boat (batana) that symbolizes the town's enduring seafaring traditions. Board a boat for a cruise along the Old Town peninsula to a local tavern for dinner with entertainment. (B/D)

Day 12: Venice, Italy

Travel from Croatia to Venice, Italy, today, arriving in the "City of Canals" midday for a walking tour and a visit to the Doge's Palace. We invite you to join us this evening for a farewell dinner at your historic hotel, just steps away from Piazza San Marco. Stay: Hotel Metropole (B/D)

Day 13: Depart Venice, Italy

Tour ends: Venice. Fly home anytime. A transfer is included from Hotel Metropole to Venice's Marco Polo Airport. Allow a minimum of three hours for flight check-in. (B)

Tour operator.

It's easy to see the world's sights. To stand in long lines, push through the crowds, and generally have the same standard-issue vacation as everyone else. But that's not good enough for us, and it's not good enough for you. We believe that travel should be easy. It should be fun. It should be worth your time and the price you paid. It should re-energize and transform. And above all else, it should be beyond the ordinary. Because how you see the world matters.

In 1882, Herman Tauck arrived in New York City from Germany in search of the American dream. His determination and values were passed on to his son, Arthur Tauck, who would realize that dream. With ingenuity and an innovative spirit, Arthur started Tauck Motor Tours, a travel company that would give birth to a new industry. The first tour, through the back roads of New England, was created by this 27-year-old in 1925. It embodied the same successful formula used by Tauck today: do the right thing. Craft a life-enriching travel experience; provide it at a single all-inclusive price; ensure there is great value for money; and rely on recommendations of satisfied customers to build a following and grow the business.

Two elements that did change over the next 90+ years – and three generations of Taucks – were the scope of destinations served and the variety of modes of travel used. Today Tauck delivers life-enriching travel experiences to every corner of the globe, incorporating small cruise ships, premium riverboats, trains, helicopters and more. What started as a New England motor coach tour company has truly evolved into an extraordinary global travel company. The fourth generation of Taucks is now involved in the company. While remarkable in any business, this seamless continuity across generations speaks to shared vision and values.

Throughout its history, the concept of “family” at Tauck has gone far beyond those sharing the surname to include hundreds of valued employees, and hundreds of thousands of loyal guests. The story of Tauck is the story of a unique American family company celebrating a passion for travel – a story that will continue to inspire generations to come.

Today we are reviewing our recent “Venice & the Dalmatian Coast” Small Ship Cruise with Tauck onboard Ponant’s “Le Lyrial” ship and we are excited to share our review with you, but two important points we want to make you aware of first:

• Tauck does NOT own/operate any Ocean Cruise ships so if you do a Small Ship Cruise with them it’ll be on a separate line like Ponant, Silversea, Windstar, etc. where Tauck simply charters space onboard for their guests… or sometimes they charter the whole ship as our’s was
• Taking a Cruise directly with Ponant (without Tauck) would be a VERY different experience and one we would NOT recommend so make sure to have Shawn explain the differences if you’re considering booking direct with Ponant instead of Tauck

As we have done a Tauck Danube River Cruise as well as several land tours with Tauck (as mentioned here , besides Cruises, we also sell Land Tours with Tauck) but we had not done a Small Ship Cruise with Tauck, we were really wanting to get onboard and experience this type of Tauck Vacation so we could report back to you what it was like.

Ok, let’s dive in…

So what is it like on a Small Ship Cruise with Tauck on Ponant’s “Le Lyrial” ship?

Well, first off, this Cruise ship has very much a River Cruise feel in that the ship has just over 200 guests onboard so it’s intimate & not crowded like the big Ocean ships.

In fact, she is sleek looking, so we felt like we were boarding our very own private Yacht each day, see for yourself…

On top of that, the Le Lyrial is small enough to sit in the ports close to the heart of the towns & cities we visited whereas the large cruise ships cannot enter or have to sit much further away from some of the ports we pulled straight into…

Case in point, here we are in a couple medieval towns enjoying the views from our Balcony before we “stepped off” to enjoy… keeping in mind, there were a few “tender” ports but we were never very far from shore…

Cuisine Onboard:

A small ship typically means a small galley (kitchen) so the menu only had three to four selections for each Appetizer, Entree and Dessert so the menus weren’t huge like on some Big Ocean Ships but the cuisine onboard was fresh and good quality…

…plus, each day/night the Sous-Chef made fresh local specialty dishes (see pictures below) like seafood, pasta and BBQ right in front of us and served it hot along with the daily dishes that were prepared as well as local cheeses, ice cream, sweet treats and breads that are made onboard daily and are VERY hard to resist! 🙂

A Little About The Itinerary:

This Tauck Small Ship Cruise itinerary is a Venice, Italy round trip Cruise which is such a treat as Venice is one of the most unique/amazing cities IN THE WORLD (in our humble opinion) so you will get ample time to play & explore here…

And yes, we would still suggest if your budget & schedule allows, that you add an extra night or so here… we certainly encourage that to get over the jet lag BEFORE your journey with Tauck begins— even with the two hotel night stays included in your itinerary.

We were excited to see, smell, taste and learn about the history & culture of 3 amazing Countries- Italy, Croatia & Montenegro on this 10 day journey with the majority of the trip exploring Croatia…

Croatia is made up of over a thousand islands & islets so after being on the ship and exploring Croatia, we can tell you that there is no better way to see the Country in a smooth and seamless way than by ship…

Instead of wasting a day travelling to each island, waiting in the airport or at the ferry terminal, why not wake up each morning refreshed, sit on your balcony sipping coffee as the ship slips into a new port for you to explore today, like we did here…

That’s what we did each day onboard and we got to sightsee and enjoy the culture and region fully instead of wasting precious time on logistics… that’s key in our minds to a quality, stress free and enjoyable Vacation!

In Tauck style, Tauck puts their spin on small ship cruising and surprised us with little gifts along the way… which we are going to keep secret so they remain a surprise. 😉 PLUS…

The entire trip from start to finish, they have several Tauck Directors on hand (as if the cruise staff wasn’t enough LOL) to ensure all guests are taken care of, supported and have the best experiences.

Here are all 7 of them with their usual bright smiles (note: the amount of Tauck directors on tour with you will vary itinerary to itinerary)…

We witnessed one of the Tauck Directors arrange & walked fellow Tauck guests to a specific restaurant they wanted to try in Venice that was recommended to them by friends back home, very impressive. That’s just one example of whenever you need help they are available.

On most Cruise ships, you’ll have to “get in line and wait” to get help at the reception or shore excursion desk but not with Tauck, they provided their own Hospitality Desk (in addition to Ponant’s front desk staff) to answer our questions “whenever” we had them…

Tauck tries hard to eliminate or cut down on lines and waiting which is a pet peeve for most who are experienced, well travelled and just want it all handled so they can simply enjoy.

On top of that, Tauck had Local Guides show us their city or small town or point of interest, etc. as it is their area of expertise so we had Local Guides everywhere plus we always had Tauck Directors with us on every tour to give us that extra level of service. 🙂

All-Inclusive

Onboard the ship, Tauck covers the bill for beverages, gratuities, private shore excursions and wifi which makes a “Tauck Small Ship Cruise” an all-inclusive experience!

Three things to note about the inclusions…

• The list of beverages included is a generous selection but as for premium drinks, there is an extra charge. We didn’t feel the need to purchase premium as the selection was a good variety for us but see the inclusions list in this picture we took for you…

2. Unlike other lines, Tauck includes all the best choices for excursions already so you will NOT see additional prices for other tours or add-ons, it’s already included… how Tauck operates is if you’re going to a destination & need to see something, they include it! 🙂

3. Overall, you will have no bill at the end of the trip except for premium drinks, as mentioned if you prefer them, souvenirs and as requested from previous guests “free time to enjoy a couple meals on your own in Venice” (more specifically: one Dinner & two lunches). Other than that, everything is included… airport/train station transfers, gratuities for all ship staff/Tauck Directors/local guides/drivers/porterage, etc., drinks onboard the ship as shown above, all but 3 meals, wifi on the ship, all excursions, etc.!

“Venice & the Dalmatian Coast” Tauck Small Ship Cruise Itinerary:

NOTE: Depending on the year you choose to sail, the order in which you visit the ports of call may change but the ports of call are the exact same, so no worries, you will experience what we show below but maybe in a different order.

Here is how we experienced it but either way everyone starts and stops in Venice so plane tickets are easy to book… Venice round-trip!

When you arrive to Venice its a special experience right from the start with Tauck…

While other travellers were dragging their luggage around the cobblestone & over the Bridges (there’s almost 400 of them in Venice so you cross one every few minutes) and then gasping at the water taxi prices (you see that take place ALL around Venice) we were met by a Tauck Representative with a Tauck sign in hand so we would notice her right away at the train station. (We arrived into Venice by Train, Tauck will pick you up from there or the airport… included in your trips’ price!)

She had a porter immediately take our luggage off our hands and in no time we boarded a private boat and our driver drove through the canals of Venice to take us to our hotel…we couldn’t snap pictures fast enough as the city is just jaw dropping incredible!!!

How neat an experience to get a boat ride to your Venice hotel!!

It was a special experience driving past gondolas and under centuries old romantic bridges, you can’t help but feel like you’re in a James Bond movie, its a pretty great experience! 🙂

You get dropped off and checked into one of the top hotels not far from St. Marks Square and upon arrival there is no shortage of Tauck staff to greet you.

Our Welcome to the Hotel stepping off the boat…

Our Tauck Welcome Dinner…

TIP: This trip is generally “country club casual” in dress but save your dressiest from your packed clothes for the Welcome and Farewell receptions/dinners.

Here is how we dressed one evening during a “Welcome” dinner onboard for ideas of what to pack from your own closet. As you can see, you do NOT need gowns and tuxes…

In Venice, we got to see (in small groups) accompanied by an expert resident guide, the opulently decorated “Doge’s Palace” that was built for the elite during Medieval times and was the primary residence of the rulers so many years ago.

We Visited St. Mark’s Square known as one of the most recognizable squares in the world and we went inside for a visit to St. Mark’s Basilica and took in the magnificence of it all, its gleaming mosaics and other priceless treasures and much more.

Then, we had the afternoon and evening to spend as we wanted.

Have a look at our pictures as a picture is worth a thousand words as they say…

Today, we visited nearby Islands & later embarked the beautiful “Le Lyrial” ship.

After a wonderful breakfast on the terrace over looking the lagoon in Venice, we broke up into small groups & sat up top for more amazing views as we took private boats for a scenic boat ride to the island of Murano to see the famous Glass Blowing where we got to watch one of the artists create a decorative Vase & then a galloping horse… AMAZING!!!

And if you are thinking to yourself “I’ve seen glass blowing before” (which we have to admit, is what we thought) we have to tell you- it’s not the way they do it in Murano which has been perfected and done the exact same way when they began in the Medieval times, don’t miss this!!

We bought a glass horse for 20 euros since we saw one created in front of our eyes! 🙂

Then we cruised to Burano and what a picturesque place that was!!

Beautiful brightly coloured homes & businesses and to top it all off were the canals and bridges… people couldn’t get enough of this place, just check out our pictures below.

Tip: You’ll have free time here today for lunch and it maybe a good idea to Google “Burano Lunch Restaurant Reviews” before you go so you can pick a good spot that appeals to you, ahead of time.

On our way back to Venice, Tauck served us strawberry wine and a local sweet treat while telling us about a little surprise they had in store for us…

THE SURPRISE…

We were told last minute that we would be taking private Gondola rides through the canals of Venice, yippeee, so excited for that as it’s THE thing to do in Venice!!!!

Another nice touch which Tauck seems to do on each trip we take with them.  We love that they under-promise and over- deliver!!

After that we went to the ship and had welcome drinks and finger food (see picture below) while we took in a short presentation from the Crew & Tauck Directors of what to expect onboard and then we unpacked for the week and happily settled into our home for the next 7 Nights. 🙂

Want to see more of the inside of the ship?

Take a look at our Pictures and Videos to get more information about the ship and staterooms, she is as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside.

Tonight we enjoyed the Sail Away in Venice which is not to be missed. We had perma-smiles while we enjoyed cocktails and snapped lots of pictures.

You get the most incredible vistas, sunsets and sunrises while on a cruise ship, that you just can’t get anywhere else!! ~ Nancy & Shawn Power

After a comfy sleep and a great shower (it’s all personal choice but we found the showers to be good pressure and really nice!) we headed out to explore Korcula, Croatia.

The choices for today were a walking tour of Korcula or a Taste of Korcula tour and we chose the later.

Our tour took us on a scenic drive of the harbour & coastline to a winery where we sampled local wines from the island and a tasty pairing of meats, cheeses, olives, dried candied fruits and more.

Once back to the port we all came together in a local theatre for a “Moreska Performance” which is a traditional sword dance from the town of Korcula from the 15th century that required lots of stamina from the performers. Sparks were flying and it was fascinating to watch.

Then we were treated to a delicious ice cream (Tauck does little things like that while on tours with them just to go above and beyond and remind you that they care) before heading back to our “home” onboard…

Back onboard we had a Captain’s Gala Evening on the deck as the sun set and shimmered off the calm ocean that looked like glass and we enjoyed meeting the Captain, sipping welcome cocktails and feasting on a 6 Course Dinner prepared by the executive chef Xavier Etchebes that was quite yummy in our tummies. 🙂

After that the dancers and singers put on a GREAT Cabaret performance for us in the lounge and there was dancing afterwards.

Lots of fun on our first full day onboard!!

This morning we docked in Sibenik, Croatia and took a short bus ride to Krka National Park, just 15 minutes away to enjoy one of THE nicest parks we have ever been in!!

Natural Waterfalls, one of which was 142 feet, flowing water, scenic bridges, clear water that mirrored it’s surroundings— it was truly breath-taking to see the panorama views and walk on the nice platform throughout the park.

TIP: If feeling adventurous you could go on your own and walk a well-written trail all around the park that would take you 35 minutes or you can simply stay with the group for the guided walk.

Do as you choose as it really was for all fitness levels.

At our departure meeting point Tauck provided bananas, apples and water to re-energize us. Nice touch!!

Here are some pictures:

SPLIT, CROATIA (Day five still)

After lunch onboard the ship while docked in the Old Medieval Town and second largest city of Croatia called Split, we took a guided walking tour and a Cetina River Cruise.

(The other option was a shorter excursion including just the Split Walking Tour)

On our tour we first took a scenic drive along the coast past some picturesque riverside towns to Madman’s Mill to enjoy some Croatian food specialties, wine & drinks at a riverside restaurant.

Then we took the river boat down the stunning Cetina River and “ooo’d” and “awww’d” at the views surrounding us… take a look at our pictures below, that’s limestone in those cliffs, absolutely stunning!!

Before going back to the ship, we explored historic Split on foot for 45 minutes and enjoyed gazing at the medieval structures that are still standing today and are well preserved. It’s a pretty town, good for shopping too! 🙂

This morning after an amazing sleep (as it was a FULL day yesterday!!) we arrived in the quaint and one of the most talked about cities in the World… Dubrovnik, Croatia.

After our walking tour we understand why it is so highly spoken about!!

A long defensive city wall surrounds the entire sea side old town and is walkable from end to end with the most incredible viewpoints of Dubrovnik and its encompassing blue ocean. The air is clean and beaches beautiful. (see our pictures below).

Today there were 3 different excursions to choose from…

A Caveat & Wine Tasting, Croatian Traditions plus Dubrovnik and Dubrovnik by Foot excursion or you could simply do nothing at all and have a pool day onboard or movie day or do whatever your heart desires.

We walked the city wall from end to end and strolled thought the city snapping these pictures…

Plus we had a Caviar tasting tonight back onboard, a lovely dinner and listened to a Folkloric Klapa Show preformed by a local men’s choir.

Later that evening we took a romantic stroll about Dubrovnik (as we were not sailing away till midnight) and we have to say, it was even better than our daytime tour.  Less people around and less heat too that made our walk enjoyable.

TIP: Try picking an itinerary that gives you an evening in Dubrovnik so you can enjoy it as we did, it is worth it!

Today we celebrated as it was our 77th Country visited as we woke up in Kotor, Montenegro! 🙂

The country of Montenegro is bordered by Croatia, has the most incredible Bay in Kotor and is surrounded by towering mountains.

The old city was constructed between the 12th & 14th Centuries and is a well preserved Medieval town that is listed as UNESCO “World Natural and Historical Heritage Site” for good reason.

Three excursions were listed for today: Kotor & Our Lady of the Rocks, Njegusi & Kotor Walking Tour and finally the Blue Cave Rib Boat Adventure.

We choose the Njegusi & Kotor Walking Tour.

We took a bus up 25 hairpin switchbacks that are along the Mountain’s edge and we enjoyed wonderful views of the city from the drive.

At the top we enjoyed a look around the small village of Njegusi where we took a tour of an old Smokehouse that is still in use today for processing and curing prosciutto.

We learned how this specialty is produced and smoked and then enjoyed a spread of prosciutto, olives, wine and sweets.

TIP:   If you are prone to car sickens or nausea this may not be the right tour for you as the drive involves lots of turns.

Tonight, we enjoyed the views while we sailed away from Kotor.

Today we docked in Hvar, Croatia… another UNESCO World Heritage Site with traditions that date back to Antiquity. You will find Lavender fields as far as the eye can see, olive trees and vines filled with juicy grapes for harvest.

There were four sightseeing choices for today: Hvar Island Highlights, Hvar Off-Road Tour, Hvar hiking and Sea Kayaking in Hvar.

We choose the hiking and were really glad we did as the hike started at the top of the Island and we walked down a beautiful path we would never have found on our own. It weaved through small villages, vineyards, lavender fields and olive trees.

After 45 minutes we stopped at a local restaurant and ate prosciutto, cheese, olives and had locally produced wine from the very hills we walked.

Another 25 minutes of walking and we ended our tour with a chance to swim in the ocean for 30 minutes before retiring to the ship.

TIP:   If you decide on this tour, bring water shoes as the beach is rocky and of course a towel from the ship if you plan to take a swim!

Another Great day!

Pula & Rovinj, Croatia

This morning we docked in Pula where we took a walking tour and explored it’s quaint town including the amphitheater that was build in the same era as the famous Colosseum in Rome.

We couldn’t imagine what took place here so many years ago, but gratefully, our local expert guide painted a good picture. 🙂

This morning you could also have joined a delicious Olive Tasting Tour… the choice is yours! 🙂

Have a look at our pictures:

We then sailed during lunch and stopped at our last port for the day called Rovinj, known as one of the most romantic cities in world.

Here we had the choice of a Rovinj Walking Tour, Porec & Wine Tasting or an Estrian Truffle Tasting Experience and without a doubt we choose the Truffle tasting as Nancy is fascinated with them and thinks they are the most delicious creations ever. 🙂

Not only was it a Truffle tasting with pasta, ice cream and local wine but much more…

It was a scenic drive to get to the countryside where Truffles are grown readily plus we learned all about how they are grown and are found using dogs… very interesting!

And of course we HAD to buy some truffle products to take home.

Loved this tour!!

We didn’t leave port till 11pm so we walked about this stunning port town and admired the architecture and preservation of the old buildings plus the harbour is super lively with restaurants and leisure boats in the water.

Back in Venice this morning all guests onboard said goodbye to their staterooms by 8 am (schedule your flights from 12pm onward to be give yourself time to get to the airport, check-in, etc.) and then to Ponant’s “Le Lyrial ship” and then we said “until next time” to the Tauck Directors and fellow guests after breakfast before heading home.

Tauck made our disembarkation really easy by taking care of all the luggage and getting them from the ship, to our water Taxi and right to our check-in for departure so we didn’t have to worry or lift anything.

Look how easy it was (here we are walking into the Venice airport with our porter behind us and our Tauck Director up front leading the way)…

What a trip!!

We have some wonderful memories and because we took this trip personally and didn’t just read about it in a brochure, we got you even more details to make your trip even better so here are…

A FEW “FIRST HAND” TIPS FOR THIS TRIP:

• This tour requires guests to be able to walk over cobblestones and climb steps and several of the ports were accessed by a “Tender” (getting onto a small boat off of our big boat) so it’s NOT very suitable for people in wheelchairs or who need assistance walking
• In Europe in certain Countries like Italy, if you order a water at restaurants they will bring you bottled water for a charge… they don’t do the Free tap water as we do here so don’t just order water “just because”, make sure you’re planning to drink it!
• Don’t forget your electrical outlet converters for charging your cellphones and tablets on the ship and in hotels
• Some churches you have to cover your shoulders and knees, so come prepared for this. Shawls work perfect for this!
• If you like to enjoy your coffee past breakfast, take-away is not a thing on this trip, so pack your travel mug
• Don’t want to forget your passport in the safe when moving from hotel to the ship or heading to the airport? Then put ONE of your shoes that you’re wearing the next morning in the safe!! 🙂 (smart one, but we cannot take credit for it!! 🙂
• Drinking Water: The water from the Hotel taps & Fountains in Venice and on the ship is clean & safe to drink. Plus, Tauck will have bottled water readily available
• Public Washrooms: While on tours with Tauck, they will provide opportunities for washroom breaks that don’t charge but in general, free Public washrooms do not exist in many parts of Europe. You will typically have to pay for restroom breaks when on your own anywhere from .50-1 euro so carry some small change with you if you are prone to frequent washroom breaks

Want more information? You are in luck because we have it!! LOL
