      RadKreuzfahrt durch die Inseln vor Split

      Unsere Reise war insgesamt sehr gut. Die Besatzung war sehr nett. Der Koch hat in seiner Kombüse alles gegeben und uns gut bekocht. Hervorheben möchte ich den Guide David, der uns hervorragend betreut hat und super über die örtlichen Gegebenheiten informiert ist. Er hat uns unglaublich viel Hintergrundwissen über die Inseln mitgeteilt. Das einzige Manko war die fast nicht funktionierende Schiebetür zum Badezimmer. Sie ist nur durch Anheben und Tricksen zu Bewegen gewesen. Wir haben das bemängelt und zur Antwort bekommen, das sei alles in Ordnung. Der Geruch aus dem Badezimmer war echt übel nach Moder. Wenn wir die Tür geschlossen haben war sie von außen fast nicht mehr zu öffnen. Deswegen gab es einen Punktabzug.

    Frequently asked questions

    • What documents do I need to travel to Croatia?

      All French nationals can enter freely with a valid national identity card or passport (for any stay of less than 30 days).

      Please note: National identity cards issued to adults between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2013 will still be valid 5 years after the expiry date (indicated on the back). Nonetheless, we strongly recommend that you use a passport rather than an identity card that has expired.

      This information is subject to change due to the authorities of the country you are visiting. It is not unusual for border crossing rules to change. We therefore strongly advise you to refer to the "travel advice" section of the France diplomacy website: https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/.
      Nationals of other countries should enquire about formalities at the consulate of their home country.
    • How is my transfer from the airport to the boat organized?

      The transfer can be arranged by your GlobeSailor consultant and your base manager by taxi or minibus. Payment for this service is usually made to GlobeSailor at the time of the balance payment or directly on site in cash. Don't forget to send your arrival times to your consultant.

      During your cruise, you will benefit from the half-board package. The crew will prepare your meals using fresh local produce. Juices and alcoholic drinks are additional.
      Please check the terms and conditions of your quotation. Your consultant will be able to send you the menus proposed on board on request. Please inform us as soon as possible if you are allergic to certain foods or if you follow a specific diet.

    • How are the bike tours organized and conducted?

      The duration of the cycle routes is approximate, and depends on the conditions when you arrive. Itineraries may be changed due to weather conditions. Bike tours are usually done in the early morning after breakfast.

      Rental bikes can be rented (100€ per person per week / electric bike: 150€ per person per week). Please inform your GlobeSailor advisor when booking.
