Cruise for travel - Enduro

Start of the Cruise for touring enduros is the seaside resort of Opatija on the northern Croatian Adriatic coast. We drive our motorbikes directly into the harbour of Opatija and park there in front of our "floating hotel", which will be our home for the next week. We have our dinner on the ship and enjoy the sea air and our first night on board.

Our guided tour of Croatia begins the very next morning:

After breakfast, we say goodbye to the captain and crew, get on our enduros and set off together towards the gravel. While we take a trip into the mountains near the coast, our ship is already on its way by sea to the next port.

At lunchtime we will, where possible, stop at a local restaurant and taste the specialities of the "experienced region", but mostly we are far "from civilisation" and have already taken a packed lunch from the ship in the morning (not included).

In the afternoon of the first day's ride, we reach the coastal town of Senj on the famous "Jadranska Magistrala", the Adriatic coastal road, where our ship is already waiting for us. We park the motorbikes directly in the harbour and retire contentedly to "our rooms" to freshen up for the evening. After dinner, which the ship's cook has prepared for us, we can explore the small harbour and the adjacent old town, have a drink and look forward to the next day: the route will take us to Dalmatia, to the island of Pag.

And so we drive a beautiful, detailed route every day, a mix of gravel roads and small back roads, commuting back and forth between roads on the coast, in the hinterland and on islands, and spend the night in a different harbour every night. But always in the same hotel room. There is no need to pack our suitcases for the whole week and we can enjoy the wonderful tours through unbelievably impressive and constantly changing landscapes without any luggage on the motorbike.

The daily stages range from 150 km to 180 km, about half of the time we will spend on unpaved roads. The total mileage during the tour is about 1,000 km from/to Opatija.

Experienced top tour guides lead the trip and show us some of the most beautiful and exciting roads in Croatia. Secluded bays, picturesque coastal and mountain roads, idyllic villages and impressive medieval towns - all this is waiting for YOU!

Cabins "on deck" are cabins on the main deck (the deck where you enter the ship) or on the upper deck (1st floor), cabins "below deck" are cabins in the hull of the ship. All cabins are outside cabins. The advantage of cabins on deck is that you have direct access from the outside and more fresh air, while cabins below deck are often quieter. Cabins below deck have portholes.

Breakfast and dinner are taken in the "dining room", which with its bar is also available as a lounge for socialising in the evenings.

The country we are visiting has many special features to offer us: Croatia is not a large country, but it is Mediterranean and Central European, mountainous and flat, maritime and continental at the same time. In a relatively small area, one finds landscapes here that one would otherwise have to search for in far-flung regions of Europe and the world: Thus, in Croatia we find a forested, indented coastline with a multitude of islands, well-preserved old Mediterranean towns with narrow streets and stone houses, but also green pastureland on the coast with dry stone walls. The mountainous regions are adorned with extensive woodlands, romantic lakes and picturesque villages like in the Alps, but also rough, bare limestone cliffs with deep gorges, the hill country is crowned by vineyards, medieval castles and fortresses. And we will see some of it......!
