Lastovo and Mljet.

Four different grades of ship are available, with three itineraries, and priced from £409pp.
- Cycle cruises: For travellers looking to explore Croatia on two wheels. The sailings are for cyclists of mixed abilities, and include the opportunity to ride across Hvar, Mljet National Park and Krka National Park.

All cruises include a buffet breakfast and three-course lunch daily, a tour manager and Wi-Fi. Cruisers can also access the fully stocked bar onboard via a tab system.
Grant Seuren, Sail Croatia director, said: “Croatia is the perfect holiday sun destination, and we have a wealth of sailings on offer to suit every taste and budget. Whether you’re looking to explore the amazing local culture and surroundings, party the night away, get active or simply relax and watch the incredible scenery go by, there really is something for everyone.”
In addition, Sail Croatia also offers three different yacht experiences for travellers of all ages. They comprise party yacht tours for 18-39-year-old travellers, private skippered sailings or charter sailings where guests skipper themselves.
