Your trip
Two dreams in one package
Your ship, the Meridijan (or At the beginning of May the MS Antonella) takes you from port to port. By bike you will climb the panoramic heights of the Istrian islands in the north of Croatia. You won’t forget this trip in a hurry: > You can enjoy the cycle tours as ‘classic cycle tours’ on country roads and country lanes. > But you can also look forward to exciting, sporty, steep mountain bike trails. And the best: You can combine everything spontaneously and flexibly as you wish – and let yourself be spoiled by the Croatian hospitality on the ship and the many beautiful ports. The nice and experienced crew knows how to guide you into each day with stories and tips. A local tour guide accompanies you with fun and good tips on bathing bays, excursion destinations and cycle routes.
