Sail Croatia and the Greek Islands for less in 2024 with Cruise Traveller and Ponant

Amazing evening view of Fira, caldera, volcano of Santorini, Greece with cruise ships at sunset. Cloudy dramatic sky.

The sun-drenched islands of Greece and the breathtaking scenery of Croatia have been combined in a new summer fly/cruise/tour package in 2024 that offers great savings for bookings made before 31 August.

Released exclusively by Cruise Traveller, the 19-night ‘Croatian Wilds and Grecian Isles’ package in July 2024 features a nine-night overland tour through the wild scenery, ancient towns and sun-kissed coastlines of Croatia and Montenegro and a seven-night Ponant cruise through the beautiful Greek Islands.

The holiday begins with an included flight from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth to Split in Croatia for a night’s stay before guests join a small-group, nine-night group tour for no more than 18 people through Croatia and Montenegro.

The escorted tour features the enchanting old town of Trogir, the crystalline lakes and wild waterfalls of Krka National Park, a Croatian cooking class on the charming island of Korcula, the World Heritage-listed, fjord-lined town of Kotor in Montenegro, the stunning views across Montenegro from Lovcen National Park and the famous, walled city of Dubrovnik.

Guests then fly to Athens for a night’s stay before boarding Ponant’s luxurious, 264-guest boutique ship, L’Austral for a glorious, seven-night, round-trip cruise to eight Greek Islands – Patmos, Symi, Amorgos, Santorini, Milos, Delos, Paros and Hydra – each boasting stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, white-washed homes, inviting cafes and ancient history. Back in Athens, guests will fly back to Australia.
