Bike cruise in Croatia – southwards from Split 2027

Biking, island hopping, and small cruise ships along the Croatian coast

NB! Contact us BEFORE you book your flights, to get confirmation that the trip will go ahead as planned and that there are spots available.

Live on a boat – and explore new islands with your bike every day

This bike cruise starts in Trogir, just outside Split, and heads south through the Croatian archipelago to islands such as Brač, Hvar, Korčula, and Mljet. Along the way, you will cycle on quiet roads through villages, along the coast, between vineyards and olive groves – with plenty of time for stops along the way.

After your bike ride, you can swap your cycling shoes for swimwear, find a spot on deck, and let the boat carry you to the next harbor. Your luggage? That stays in your cabin all week, of course.

Cycling, boat life, and small harbors

Cycling is planned for every day, but this is just as much a vacation at sea. There will be time for swimming from the boat, relaxing hours on deck, and evenings in small harbor towns. Some meals are enjoyed on board, while others are eaten at local restaurants when the boat is docked.

You can choose between renting an e-bike or a hybrid bike for the entire week. The bike follows the boat from island to island and is ready when the day's stage begins.

In 2027, you can choose between three different ship categories, with varying standards and prices. What they have in common is that these are small cruise ships – which also means compact cabins. Here, the focus is not on the cabin space; it's about life on deck, the harbors, the islands, and everything waiting outside. Under 'Read more', you will find more information about the ship categories, the cabins, and what sets them apart.

PS! The bike cruises are international trips, so you will share the boat and your experiences along the way with cycling enthusiasts from several different countries.

Feedback from previous bike cruises:

A truly brilliant trip, a perfect combination of physical activity on a bike, sunbathing, swimming, and experiencing new places every day. The boat with 30 fellow passengers and good communal meals provided an excellent setting for pleasant socializing, good conversations, and a lot of fun with new and old friends.

Choice of ship type

When you book a bike cruise with us, you do not choose a specific cabin – you choose a ship category. For example, if you choose a ship in the Adriatic Collection, the entire ship has cabins within this category. The only additional choice you make is whether you want a cabin on the upper/main deck or the lower deck.

There may be several ships sailing on the same departure date, for example, one ship in the Adriatic Collection and one in the Heritage Collection. If you are traveling as a group and wish to stay on the same ship, everyone must choose the same ship category.

Three ship categories

In 2027, you can choose from three ship categories on the bike cruises:

  • Heritage Collection

  • Adriatic Collection

  • Voyage Collection

Of course, the ships are fully crewed: a professional crew, including chefs and the captain!

Heritage Collection ships

Traditional wooden ships with simple standards and plenty of maritime charm.

Heritage Collection is the simplest of the three ship categories and consists of smaller, traditional wooden ships. Here, the atmosphere is informal and personal, and the ships have retained much of the classic character of the original small cruises along the Croatian coast.

The cabins are simple and compact, 8–10 m², with private shower and toilet as well as air conditioning. Most are furnished with bunk beds, often with a slightly wider bed on the bottom and a standard size on the top. The cabins are distributed across the upper or lower decks – what sets them apart is the size of the windows and their location on board.

The common areas on board are air-conditioned, and there is plenty of space outside to enjoy the days at sea.

This is the category for those who are primarily looking for the experience, the boat life, and the relaxed atmosphere, and who do not require a high standard on the ship itself and the cabin.

Adriatic Collection ships

A step up in standard – still small ships and a relaxed atmosphere.

Adriatic Collection consists of ships with steel hulls and a more modern standard than the Heritage Collection. On board, there is air conditioning and pleasant common areas for meals, relaxation, and socializing.

The cabins are compact, 8–14 m², with private shower and toilet, air conditioning, and a double bed or two single beds. They also feature a wardrobe, hairdryer, and safe. They are distributed across two decks:

  • Upper deck with windows

  • Lower deck with two round portholes (approx. 30 cm in diameter)

Here you get a bit more comfort on board, while the ships are still small enough to retain the informal and personal feel that characterizes the bike cruises.

Voyage Collection ships

Newer ships, modern standard, and the most comfort of the three categories.

Voyage Collection is the highest ship category you can choose on the bike cruises. The ships are newer and modern, with spacious sun decks, air conditioning in the salon, and comfortable lounge and common areas.

The cabins are also compact here, 8–14 m², with private shower and toilet, air conditioning, and a double bed or two single beds, as well as a wardrobe, hairdryer, and safe.

This is the category for those who want a slightly higher standard and more comfort on board, while still retaining the whole concept of small cruise ships, cycling, and island hopping.

Quick facts about the trip

The bike cruise lasts for 8 days / 7 nights. Cycling is planned for every day, combined with boat life and time to enjoy the destinations along the way. After breakfast, you go ashore and get on your bike. After the day's cycling stage, you board the boat again, and in the afternoon, the boat sails on to the next port. The boat remains there until the next morning. You can find the detailed daily program below.

Breakfast and a three-course lunch are served on board. If you choose the Adriatic Collection or Voyage Collection, an informal Captain’s Dinner is also included on one of the evenings.

The atmosphere on board is relaxed and informal – a casual dress code applies here.
