Join Us for an Adventure in Croatia  Oct 10-18, 2025

Why Choose This Trip?

Croatia is a country full of beautiful, well-kept coasts with thousands of islands, reefs, and bays. Numerous Roman ruins, charming hills, and breathtaking beauty awaits you here. Situated along the Adriatic Sea, Croatia stretches from the slopes of the alps to the banks of the Danube and Drava Rivers, and we are excited to offer another bike and yacht trip to the beautiful island of Croatia.


We will be traveling aboard a luxury yacht, The MS Melody, and will be traveling the opposite direction of the 2018 trip. We have charted this yacht so only Space City Ski & Adventure members will be aboard. There are 32 spots available, and they will go fast.  Our tour guides will have thirty-two e-bikes ready for us each day to tour a different, beautiful island. Be sure to read the detailed itinerary that follows for the daily destinations. Breakfast, lunch, and dinners will be provided along with a welcome reception the day we embark.


The Split, Croatia airport (SPU) is 7 minutes from the boat dock; however, you won’t want to miss out on staying overnight in Trogir to get ready to embark. So, we have arranged hotel rooms in Trogir on October 10, 2025 to insure all participants arrive in time to embark on October 11, 2025. We ask that you plan your flight and travel to arrive in Trogir on October 10, 2025 no later than 7:00 p.m. We have two hotels booked and you will be given the hotel name once the trip fills and we are closer to departure. Android vs Apple – no problem! We will communicate using “WhatsApp” which is an internet-based phone and texting application. Plan to download the app before we leave.

Yacht Accommodations:

 

MS Melody is a small cruise ship that invokes a regenerative atmosphere and comfort for smaller groups of up to 32 guests. With a newly refitted salon area and staterooms, you'll feel like the first person to set foot on this sailing beauty. Professional yet friendly service will take care of all the little details so that you can relax and enjoy your time onboard.


Motor ship Melody was built in 2015 in Split, 138 ft (42 m) long and 27 ft (8.3 m) wide. With a top speed of 9 knots, you'll get to your destination quickly and in style. The modern and stylish design will turn heads, while the spacious and comfortable interior will make you feel right at home.  MS Melody offers 16 newly refitted staterooms on the lower and main decks. The spacious and fully air-conditioned staterooms have everything you need for a relaxing vacation, from the airy interiors to the satellite TV and private en-suite with all the amenities. With comfortable beds, ample storage space, and a writing desk and chair, you'll be able to make the most of your time onboard.


With 1507 ft² (140 m²) of space to relax, you'll have plenty of room to spread out and soak up some rays. Whether you're looking to read a book on a sun mattress or enjoy a cocktail in the company of friends, Melody's sun deck is a perfect spot to spend your days. The outdoor jacuzzi at the ship's bow will also offer relaxation after exploring all corners of this beautiful area.


 Also wholly refitted in 2022, the saloon area consists of comfortable chairs sleek enough to fit perfectly into the modern décor and spacious tables for long meals. Be sure you will not miss great tastes since our private chefs have carefully prepared a menu that perfectly pairs with some of the best Croatian wines.

The outside area is the perfect place to relax and take in the natural beauty surrounding you. Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to read a book or a place to socialize with friends, this lounge area has everything you need. With comfortable seating and beautiful views, the outside lounge area will be one of your favorite spots onboard!   Kayak, Paddle boards and snorkeling equipment can be available on request.


There are 16 cabins on the yacht with various room configurations. There are twin cabins in addition to queen.  We will assign participants their cabins based on the configuration; however, will work with each participant to assign cabins as best we can. We ask that single travelers help to find a roommate as they sign up. As the trip fills up, we may need to create a wait list for single travelers until there is a qualified roommate. The boarding will start at 1 p.m. on October 11, 2025.  After which you will have enough time to settle comfortably into your cabin. Travel for a week and unpack once! The yacht is like a luxury hotel and accepts USD.


 

Who Would Most Enjoy This Trip?

This trip is designed with biking in mind, and you should be proficient on a bike as well as moderately fit to ride the trail inclines. What goes up must come down – you should be confident in controlling your descent once the incline is attained. Those who ride confidently for approximately six months before the trip will enjoy the biking that we have planned. The yacht will drop us off at one port and sail to the port that we will be riding to. If you plan to stay on the vessel one day, expect to stay on the vessel at the drop off port. The pick-up port is where we will spend overnight and, therefore, have plenty of time to explore the islands. The e-bikes will make riding easy if you are a proficient rider. A proficient rider means confidence and good balance. It is not a race, so you don’t have to be the fastest biker.
