The Japan Cruise was a great experience. Santana Adventures provided all of the necessary information in a timely manner. All of the details were taken care of. Bill and his staff were there every day to answer any questions. The pre and post tour hotels were wonderful. The M S Star Breeze is an excellent cruise ship. The choice of sightseeing locations was all encompassing. This is truly a vacation that I will long remember.

A unique and wonderful trip! Santana has its own special vibe which we connected to right away. The guests are interesting, open and always up for a laugh. Our ship and crew in Tasmania get a resounding A+. The Santana gang was helpful and down to earth. We had a great time.

I had been on multiple Santana bike cruises but Barcelona to Lisbon was truly incredible. First of all, the ship Atlas World Navigator was by far the best of them all - just incredible. And the rides in Spain, Morocco and Portugal were incredible. This was also the first trip we did the group pre-tour because of the rides that had been scheduled (Monserrat and Barcelona) and we really enjoyed it, but as always, the prearranged group meals during the pre-tour in Barcelona was a little mixed - two of the meals were outstanding, but one was extremely mediocre. Like all the other Santana bike cruise, read their entire website so you understand what you are signing up for. If what they/I describe seems like your cup of tea, you'll love it. If it doesn't, stick with fully escorted, ride in groups type of tours, but we love the independence and mileage to unique and amazing places that Santana bike cruises lets us experience.

Our first Santana adventure cruise was amazing. Very well organized from the bike rental to the Tour de France party. Hearing stories of bike trips in other countries have us wanting more. Bill & Jan are excellent hosts. I Really appreciated Dustin’s help along the way for many reasons. Phillip & Laurie were very helpful after David’s bike crash on the Champs-Elysees. Excellent food on the longship. Great people on board to enhance our evening entertainment at dinner. Shout out to Gail for our daily Yoga sessions on the ships rooftop. We certainly would book another Santana Adventure again… Vietnam is at the top of our list. Sincerely, J & D Hopkinson

I used to hate cruises but Santana brought a whole new perspective. I was able to do what I love most, seeing the countryside at a pedestrian level. Santana did an outstanding job of exposing my wife and myself to the fabric of Japan in a manner that I could not find available anywhere else. Every day was well curated and memorable. Disclaimer: This was our second cruise with Santana and we are signed up for two more in the next two years. We consider it a privilege to be on these trips.

Every ride and destination were very good. The activities / mid-ride stops were excellent and informative experiences about the history and culture of the region.

The Japan bike cruise was a trip of a lifetime! Even though it was the first time this cruise was offered, the logistics went smoothly. The stateroom suite was roomy and very comfortable. There was always a nice choice of routes to choose from that were very scenic. I would recommend Santana cruises to anyone who wants an adventure without sacrificing comfort!

It was a fantastic trip! The cycling routes were great. Riding on almost empty roads was quite a treat. The routes were challenging but the scenery was beautiful and the destinations (little towns and/or archeological sites) rewarding. We really loved been able to spend the night at some ports which allowed us to enjoy the towns. The ship and facilities were very good and the crew very attentive and polite. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend it to cyclists that enjoy the freedom of following a route on their own and at their own pace. This was our sixth trip with Santana and were looking forward to some more.
