Cruise the Croatian Islands on Friendly Planet Travel’s Newest Exotic Tour

JENKINTOWN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Croatia is the hidden gem of Europe. Nestled along the coast of the
Adriatic Sea, Croatia is a land kissed by the Mediterranean sun. One
defined by turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, picturesque islands,
and quaint medieval villages, making it one of Europe’s most idyllic and
on-the-rise destinations.

To keep pace with growing demand for this travel hotspot, Friendly
Planet Travel has unveiled a brand new Croatia tour package: Croatia
Cruise Adventure. The 11-day tour will sail travelers to some of
country’s most vibrant cities and stunning islands, all starting at just
$3,299. Visitors will begin their trip in the romantic coastal city of
Split, where they can take in the city’s distinct Roman heritage. Then
travelers will hop aboard their cruise ship, and spend the remaining
days exploring the timeless isles of Korčula, Mljet, Hvar, Pakleni,
Šćedro, and Brač, and the scenic coastal cities of Trstenik and
Dubrovnik.

“Croatia is the jewel of the Mediterranean, yet a destination that was
long overlooked by Western travelers,” said Peggy Goldman, President of
Friendly Planet Travel. “But as more and more visitors begin to realize
the wonders of this breathtaking land, we’re seeing huge demand for
tours that allow travelers to fully explore this once-bypassed European
oasis. With hundreds of islands and islets situated off its coast,
touring by boat is the perfect way to truly experience this world-class
destination. Our team at Friendly Planet Travel has crafted this
unforgettable package to provide visitors with a full introduction to
the beauty of Croatia.”

Travelers can explore the natural splendor of Croatia by hiking the
rolling hills of Mljet National Park, kayaking through the Adriatic’s
crystal-clear waters, and swimming at Zlatni Rat, one of the most famous
beaches in Dalmatia. Visitors interested in the culinary traditions of
Croatia can sample fresh food from many of the local restaurants that
dot the islands. Plus, all travelers will receive a complimentary winery
tour in Korčula, where they’ll be able to savor bold Croatian wines.
