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.

Santana Adventures offers unique cycling cruises with great cruise lines and cycling routes that offer a variety of terrain and distance each day. Cyclists have plenty of independence for each ride as to speed and stops along the way. One or more interesting and/or historical venues are also featured on every ride.

Santana Adventures cycling cruises stand out from other cycling tour operators. They are meticulous and creative in finding destination cruise ports and crafting experiences that meld cycling with each city’s culture and history, all without the every other day unpacking and repacking. Our Spain, Morocco and Portugal cycling cruise was not leisurely (have good bike handling skills, be in decent shape and be prepared for 35-55 miles/day with elevation!) but what we experienced made the effort worthwhile. Our small cruise ship was fabulous, the food excellent, and the camaraderie with fellow cyclists outstanding. Owners and hosts Bill and Jan McCready and the entire Santana Adventures team have cultivated a winning combination of cruise ship luxury and convenience with amazing days of land exploration by bike.

Attention to detail was excellent, The staff took care of the bikes as well as the details of the trip with exceptional care.
