Nestled on the Italian border with Croatia, Istria is often celebrated as the “green heart of Europe.” This stunning peninsula is one of Croatia’s top destinations, and it’s easy to see why. Discover the enchanting landscapes of Istria on this unique e-bike and sail adventure, where you’ll explore breathtaking coastlines, fertile inland regions, and charming harbor towns like Pula, Poreč, and stunning Rovinj.
The Istrian Peninsula is a treasure trove of delights—think medieval villages perched on hilltops, ancient relics, sprawling vineyards, and delectable local cuisine. On our guided e-bike tours, you’ll effortlessly glide through these wonders, with expert guides providing insights into the region’s rich history and culture.
A culinary journey awaits you onboard, where skilled chefs whip up local specialties in the ship's kitchen, perfectly paired with wines from the Istrian region. The onboard bar is always a popular gathering spot, adding to the delightful experience.
Enjoy the convenience of life on the water, with daily e-bike excursions that vary in length, taking you to new villages and intriguing sites each day. Unpack your bags once and settle in, knowing that you can even take care of laundry onboard, with everything drying in no time.
Cool off with a refreshing swim straight from the boat in the Adriatic Sea’s crystal-clear waters. After the boat docks at a new harbor each evening, you’ll have the chance to explore scenic towns and soak in the local ambiance. This is a holiday experience like no other!
