Tour Overview

TRIP VIBE = fun in the sun with refreshing swim stops, jaw-dropping scenery and time to hang with your crew. If a traditional Croatian sailing boat was vanilla ice cream, then our Plus boats are the sprinkles on top. Yep, you’ll still get bluer-than-blue swim stops, jaunts into ancient towns and stunning cities, and landscapes so good it actually hurts. But our Plus boats come with a few extra creature comforts. We’re talking bigger en suite rooms – and maybe a hairdryer (minds will be blown). Fresh linen and towel changes. Included hot buffet breakfasts and three-course-freshly-cooked-by-the-crew lunches. Plus, loads of deck space for all those great times with the gang. Been dreaming of cruising the Adriatic like the high-balling-but-budget-busting traveller you are? Meet your perfect match. ...more ...less

Day 1: Split (Croatia) – Hvar (Dalmatian Islands)

Meals Included: Lunch

Ready to spend your day horizontal on a sun-soaked deck. Diving head-first into translucent aquamarine water. Exploring the cobbled streets of ancient towns. And eating allll the seafood, stew and sauce-drenched pasta your speedos can handle? We thought so. Meet your awesome AF new crew in Split, then we’ll away anchors and motor to our first swim stop. Next: grub’s up – time to test how stretchy those swimmers really are with our first group lunch. And later, we’ll go for a stroll up to the fortress for some I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E views. Tonight, gather the gang to swap life stories. By the end of the trip, you’re gonna be buying bestie bracelets together. Facts. ...more ...less

Day 2: Hvar – Korcula

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Rise and shine sailors! Or sleep in – you do you. This morning is all about refreshing swim stops and embarrassing belly flops (soz, we mean world-class diving), plus seriously good food served up by our very own on-board chef. Later, we’ll sail on to the (supposed) home of Marco Polo. Known for its dry Croatian wine and dense pine forests, we’ll hit the cobblestone alleys for an orientation tour. Then? The afternoon is yours for the taking. You could climb to the top of Massimo’s old-school tower for a colourful cocktail. Tour the island in a – wait for it – two-seater buggy. Or round up the fam and go on a treasure hunt for some black risotto (disclaimer: prepare for sexy Victorian-era stained teeth). Make room in your bellies cos tonight there’s an optional boat barbie. Food that slaps and salivating tastebuds are a given. Obvs.

Day 3: Korcula – Dubrovnik (Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

What’s your plan of action this morning? Swim? Sunbathe? Stuff (your face)? It’s the perfect opportunity to peel open that new pack of playing cards – Go Fish, anyone? This afternoon, we’ll dock at the most famous walled city in Europe. Thanks Game of Thrones. Take a moment to regret that big lunch as we squeeze through Dubrovnik's narrow cobblestone streets with a local guide. And later? Head to Buža Bar for relaxed cliffside bevvies. Or party like it's 1599 at the world-renowned nightclub inside a 16th-century fortress. Damn, the olden days were wild.

Day 4: Dubrovnik

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Don’t be fooled. Dubrovnik is so much more than snapping a selfie on some steps. Though you can totally get your fill of GOT with a Cersei-themed tour today, if that’s your thing. Rather take to the water? Sign up to a sea kayaking excursion – swim stops at the island of Lokrum included. Get your fix of awesome views with a stroll along the ancient city walls, or take the cable car up Mt Srđ where there’s #nofilter required. Then tonight: hit the d-floor for round two. Or find a local wine bar to sample Croatia’s tasty grape-juice. DE-lish.

Day 5: Dubrovnik – Mljet (Dalmatian Islands)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Shake off last night’s antics with another all-you-can-eat breakfast and scenic AF swim stop. Today: it’s on to Mljet. Despite its lack of vowels, this place is pretty spesh. Once we dock, you’ve got the whole afternoon to simply do you. Our suggestion? Opt in to explore the National Park. Hire a bike and whiz around on two wheels. Take a boat over the Islet Melita and check out the monastery. Or test your balancing skills on a rented kayak or paddleboard. Tonight, there’s an optional Captain’s dinner aboard the boat to get stuck into. All in favour? Aye, aye!

Day 6: Mljet – Makarska (Croatia)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Land ahoy! Time to set a course for the Makarska Riviera, one of the best unsung holiday spots in Europe. Score a spot at the bow (front) of the boat for the ride in – the view is going to blow. your. mind. Then, this afternoon is totally up to you. Take a stroll along the pretty promenade. Unleash your inner thrill-seeker with a side of adrenaline-pumping water sports. Lounge about on the pebbly beach. Or sip on a cold beer at one of the beachfront bars. Don’t forget to ask your Topdeck rep for some dinner recommendations –the seafood here is ridiculously good. Tonight, prepare to party pirate-style at Deep (think: cave club).

Day 7: Makarska – Split

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Ok, nobody panic – this is our last day together. So make every second count. Savour one last swim stop before we pull into Split this afternoon. Wander through the city and take it alll in on an optional walking tour with a local guide– a few thousand years of history can be found at awesome sites like Diocletian’s Palace, Saint Domnius Cathedral and the Riva. Or head up to Prva Vidilica Na Marjanu for immense sunset views. This is what you came for. Tonight, gather the gang for one last dinner together and give this epic nautical adventure the send-off it deserves!

Day 8: Split

Meals Included: Breakfast

After breakfast, it’s time to walk the plank. Jk – but you do have to bid farewell to your fellow shipmates *sob*. Swap those Insta handles – you’ll need them to plan next year’s reunion trip. Who said the adventure has to end here? Get booking the cheapest flight to Rome. Race you!

"The tour leader and bus driver were exceptional at all times. The optional activities were great and catered to a lot of different people. The tour as a whole was great and a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would definitely book with Topdeck again."

“Incredible experience! I had done a tour with another company in Europe so thought I knew what to expect but was blown away with my Topdeck tour. Better accommodation, such a great group of people and our trip leader was incredible. Saw so much stuff I would have missed without him. Highly recommended!” ...more ...less

I would recommend this to everyone, any doubt you have about Egypt or any of the Middle Eastern countries will be washed away as soon as you step off that plane!” ...more ...less

So Topdeck, you have better...

07-Apr-2024

So Topdeck, you have better not of cancelled my trip that I paid over $6000, and now I can’t even login into my own account because of some 403 Error and need permission to gain access to my account. Get it sorted out because I am not flying all the way over to Lisbon Portugal to find my reservation at the hotel has been cancelled. This is absolutely unacceptable and disgraceful. You even got my flights wrong when I went to Tokyo back in 2017 and I ended up at the wrong airport. Topdeck get your act together and sort it out. And let me back into my own account. ...more ...less
