Great rides. Great staff on the ship. Love the days with point to point rides "chasing the ship". Santana has Croatia dialed in.

This was our tenth Santana trip, and we’ve signed up for five more over the next two years. We love that Santana gets to many places we’ve never been and gives us unique experiences even in places we’ve previously visited. The bike and boat model is the best way to explore new lands!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Adriatic Cycling Cruise. The daily route options were great and gave us flexibility. Once we got away from ports the roads had light vehicle traffic. Zero problems navigating thanks to the GPS routes. As the stoker I was able to enjoy the views! Typical of a Santana tour, the cultural activities and walking tours lead by locals were informative. Appreciate the support provided by the Santana crew and the staff on the ship was 5star. Looking forward to our next adventure!

Well-planned, organized, and executed bike rides and side trips. Excellent accommodations on the cruise ship.

Bill and Jan, Judy and I want to thank you for 20 years of wonderful biking adventures all over the world. In the last 20 years Judy and I have biked on 5 continents, in numerous countries, and learned much about this great world we live in. We have cycled with Santana Adventures in exotic locals like Tasmania, New Zealand, Japan, Cambodia, and Vietnam. We have sailed on most of the rivers in Europe and seas around the world. Our first Santana adventure was in 2004 when we cycled on 3 Hawaiian Islands and our latest were this year cycling in Ireland and 4 countries in Great Britian and in Southern France and Corsica where we watched the last two stages of this year Tour de France from a great vantage point with our “Yacht” docked next to the Tour route. Between 2004 and 2024 we joined Santana Adventures on over 20 tours around the world. During all these tours there were so many great adventures and interesting people and places to see. We knew that Jan and Bill would always work out any and all issues that can arise on bike tours especially on small Cruise ships at the mercy of the weather and port scheduling. There were always great biking routes available to meet all levels even if our planned port of call was not possible. Thank you very much for all these grand adventures. Bob and Judy Faulhaber

Santana trips are a great adventure! There are so many options for everyone, whether you want to bike, explore or relax- Everyone who works for Santana are great. They are supportive and manage to make everyone feel as though they are the most important person on the trip. I highly recommend taking a Santana adventure.

We've been on 5 trips with Santana Adventures (SA) and we have several more planned. We are strong tandem riders and their trips offer good routes, challenging terrain and like minded cyclists. Overall, their trips fun, a great experience and a good value.

The best part of this cruise option is that it is an active trip. Cycling along coastlines, mountain ridges, through small European villages, past farms are the highlight of this cruise. We are cyclists who bike daily 8-18 miles and weekends 18-40 miles. We would not know where to begin to bike ride in Europe. Santana plans the bike routes through these scenic landscapes. Using their maps and Garmin we make our way each day, at our own pace, independently or with other passengers through these scenic towns and areas. Highly recommend them if this is a trip you would be interested in. They are well organized. They give great guidance on how to travel with your own bike or they have a bike rental option. Ship accommodations and food on board all excellent. We have also taken other river cruises that don’t have cycling and the land tours are walking based. While we enjoy both, we really enjoy Santana because of the cycling through European areas you don’t see with the other river cruise itineraries. Many passengers we met have taken more than one Santana cruise and several we met have taken over 7 because they love them so much. We have now finished our our third and loved it!
