Join Soirée Owner-Host Caron Cassady on an exiting optional 5-day pre-Croatia Cruise land journey.

Enhance your Croatia Cruise experience with an optional pre-cruise land tour that reveals some of the most captivating landscapes and cultural treasures of Slovenia and in Croatia's Istrian Peninsula. 

​
​Begin in Ljubljana, Slovenia's charming and welcoming capital, where elegant architecture, lively cafés, and a picturesque riverside setting create an atmosphere that is both vibrant and relaxed. Continue to the fairy-tale shores of Lake Bled, where a church-crowned island, medieval clifftop castle, and breathtaking alpine scenery combine to create one of Europe's most enchanting destinations.

A visit to the extraordinary Postojna Cave offers a completely different perspective, as you'll journey through a magnificent underground world of soaring chambers, dramatic rock formations, and hidden passages sculpted by nature over millions of years.
​
Crossing into Croatia, discover the beauty and traditions of the Istrian Peninsula, a region celebrated for its rolling vineyards, olive groves, truffle-rich forests, and charming medieval hilltop villages. Stroll through storybook towns, savor regional flavors, and experience the unique blend of Croatian, Italian, and Venetian influences that define this remarkable corner of the Adriatic.
