Cruise on 2 wheels

The start of the Croatia Bike Cruise, the "Croatia cruise on 2 wheels", is the seaside resort of Opatija on the northern Croatian Adriatic coast. We ride 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 bikes and ride together along the coast towards the south. While we make a small detour into the mountains near the coast, our ship is already on its way by sea to the next meeting point.

At noon we will have a relaxing break with the possibility to eat something and taste the specialities of the "experienced region".

We then take the ferry to the island of Rab, where our ship is already waiting for us when we arrive at the harbour of the island's capital of the same name. 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 old town, have a cosy drink and look forward to the next day: the route takes us to Dalmatia, to the city of Zadar.

And so we ride a beautiful, carefully selected route every day on mostly excellent road surfaces between coastal road, hinterland and island roads and spend the night every evening in a different harbour, but always in our own cabin. There is no need to pack our suitcases for the whole week and we can enjoy the beautiful tours through unbelievably impressive and constantly changing landscapes without travel luggage on our bikes.

The daily stages range from 110 km to a maximum of 240 km. The total mileage during the tour is about 1,100 km.

Experienced top tour guides lead the tour and show us some of the most beautiful and exciting roads in Croatia. And they also make sure that no one gets lost: for safety's sake, there is also a support vehicle ready to take a broken-down bike to the next port.

Secluded beaches and coves, picturesque coastal and mountain roads, idyllic villages and impressive medieval towns - it's all waiting for YOU!

Our floating home is a Premium category motor sailer cruise ship of approx. 35 m in length. It has 18 fully air-conditioned guest cabins, either with double bed or two separate single beds. All cabins are of course en-suite, regardless of whether they are on the main deck or the lower deck.

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