THE BEST OF BUDAPEST & CROATIA – LAND & SEA in 13 days

Stradling the Danube River, Budapest is loaded with Hapsburg charm, temping thermal bathes, and a cuisine unlike any other in Europe.  Croatia’s Baranja region is loaded with cultural, tasty cuisine, grandeur churches, and Lippizzaner horses.  Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, is elegant and refined, a Habsburg mix of Vienna and Budapest. The Lakes of Plitvice National Park are an unusual mix of tropical greenery, azure lakes, and cascading waterfalls.  Then join an eight-day cruise along Croatia’s Adriatic coast aboard a luxury yacht that will exceed expectations. Fast and versatile, our ship will take you where the bigger vessels can’t go, from historic towns to secluded beaches. This itinerary, combined with David McGuffin’s expertise, is the perfect island-hopping cruise in Croatia.
