Croatia's Wild Interior: Cities, Countryside, Lakes & Mountains

A private journey through Croatia beyond the islands, beginning in the elegant capital of Zagreb before traveling into the vineyard-covered hills, historic estates and traditional villages of Hrvatsko Zagorje.From northern Croatia, the journey continues through the riverside village of Rastoke and into the mountainous landscape of Plitvice Lakes National Park. Guests then travel deeper into Lika and the Velebit mountain region before walking through the dramatic canyons of Paklenica and finishing near the historic city of Zadar.This program reveals a different side of Croatia—forest-covered mountains, waterfalls, rural estates, freshwater rivers, traditional cuisine and protected wilderness.The journey has been deliberately designed to feel completely different from the island-hopping cruiser itinerary. Its focus is Croatia’s countryside, inland culture, national parks and mountain landscapes rather than its ports and islands.
