Tauck Bridges Expands 2027 Family Portfolio with New Croatia Cruise

WILTON, CT (June 2, 2026) – Tauck has opened bookings for its full 2027 Tauck Bridges collection of guided family itineraries, headlined by a new small ship cruise, sailing the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia aboard a 34-guest yacht custom-designed to explore Croatia's coastal gems. 

Croatian Coast: Family Voyage explores a stretch of Adriatic coastline where calm waters, short island crossings, walkable port towns and built-in mix of beach time and discovery make it a natural fit for travelers of every age. The eight-day itinerary offers sailings June through August (from $6,790 per person, triple occupancy, plus airfare; minimum age 8). 

Guests sail aboard the Lupus Mare, a 34-guest Croatian-built yacht with 15 comfortable en suite cabins — including four triple-bed cabins — sailing as an all-Tauck Bridges experience with no other passengers aboard. Built for the Adriatic, the yacht reaches sheltered bays and island harbors that larger cruise ships cannot. Onboard, a 10-person crew supports guests across amenity spaces that include an intimate interior dining room, large salon and bar, fitness center, sauna and cinema room. Outdoor amenities include multiple al fresco lounges and a jacuzzi on the open sun deck. Water equipment, including a 19-foot waterslide, paddleboards and inflatables, is available right off the swim platform.

Sailing roundtrip from Dubrovnik, the itinerary spans five Croatian islands plus mainland stops in Omiš and Split. Highlights include a locally guided scavenger hunt through the cobblestone streets of Old Town Korčula, river rafting through the Cetina River canyon at Omiš, a living-history afternoon at Terra Arhaica on Hvar, and a choice of kayaking, biking or a ferry to a 12th-century Benedictine monastery in Mljet National Park. The itinerary concludes with a guided walking tour of UNESCO-protected Old Town Dubrovnik and a gondola ride to Mount Srđ. 

A GROWING TAUCK BRIDGES PORTFOLIO
Croatian Coast: Family Voyage joins a 2027 Tauck Bridges collection of 24 itineraries spanning five continents, including European river cruises, African safaris, a Galápagos adventure and land itineraries across the Americas, Europe and Asia. Though the full 2027 collection has only just opened for booking, early demand is already strong, with bookings pacing more than 25% ahead of 2026 and particularly strong interest in European river cruises and the company's Global Journeys & Safaris collection.
