This summer Stoke will be sailing along Croatia for a dose of shenanigans and skulduggery, canoodling and cliff-jumping under the blazing Adriatic sun.
We hope you’re as excited for Stoke Afloat Croatia Cruise 2024 as we are!
CROATIA OF COURSE!
Two options: Split to Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik to Split. Our routes around the Adriatic depend on the weather and we go where the wind blows, but Croatia in Summer… we promise it’s nowhere too bad!
Dubrovnik Meeting point:
Bon Appetit Bistro – Pizzeria
GETTING TO CROATIA
NOTE: Arrive to your departure city the day prior to your departure, we have a strict check-in time and we cannot wait.
Fly to us
The best way to do it is to fly into the small and wonderful Dubrovnik Airport, also known as Čilipi Airport. It is a small international airport only has one runway and one terminal, so pretty easy to find your way around. Stoke likes to fly with Easyjet or Vueling, or whoever else is looking the cheapest on Skyscanner.
Bus
The regular Dubrovnik Airport Shuttle Bus service is provided by Platanus Agency in Dubrovnik. Buses meet all scheduled flights at the Dubrovnik Airport for a transfer to Dubrovnik Main Bus Station in Gruž Port and take about 30 to 40 minutes. The cost is approximately 45 Kuna (€6 or £5.5). It is then a short walk to the boat or if you are a day early, you can either walk or catch a cab to your accommodation.
Taxi
To locate the Taxi rank you leave the arrivals Hall via the main exit and just outside is the queue for the taxis. To get to the city it is approximately 330 Kuna (€44 or £40).

Stoke Travel’s Common Sense Guide To Staying Safe
*If at any time you feel unsafe, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the Stoke Travel crew.
As far as situations go, a Stoke Travel trip is amongst the safest. Unlike in the ‘real’ world, everybody here is intent on having a good time with new and old friends – your fellow Stokies are way more likely to hold your hair back while you puke than steal your wallet.
That being so, we’re more in danger of hurting ourselves while on a Stoke Travel trip than falling foul of our fellow travellers. Here’s a quick little guide to partying safe with Stoke Travel.
- Drink plenty of water.
You’re going to drink heaps of beer and sangria, and you’re going to have a plenty big hangover, but you can really limit it by smashing a few cups of water throughout the day and evening. - Remember to eat!
We’re going to hook you up with a hearty bottomless brunch, and as the bare minimum that should keep your stomach lined and engine running. Do not skip these these meals, even if you are suffering horrifically from one of the aforementioned hangovers. We also strongly advise getting a lunch and dinner in there too, at the campsite restaurant or any of the many amazing bars and restaurants in town. Maybe even do this every day. - Stay safe in the water.
If you’re not confident in your ability to do a flip, jump off a cliff, or even paddle out as far as everyone else, don’t do it. If you’ve already had a few bevvies or rounds of shots, maybe use best judgement about whether or not you can handle the water then too. Our crew isn’t lifeguards. - Don’t be a creep.
Like, seriously, has that ever worked out for you? Similarly, if you see somebody being a creep and making people uncomfortable let us know and we’ll have a friendly word to them. Sometimes they just don’t realise how gross they are. - Only yes means yes, consent matters.
At a very basic level if you hit on somebody and they say no then you’ve just got to cop that. They’re just not that into you. It sucks for about three seconds, but you’re literally surrounded by hundreds of young, like-minded travellers. Suck it up and move on. When you do find somebody who’s into you and you want to move through the bases, make sure you get consent. It really, really, really, really, really does matter. - Leave the mixing to our DJs
We have a zero-tolerance approach to drugs on our campsites – but if you do happen to be dipping into the bags or popping pills, don’t overdo it. View Tripsit’s resource here regarding mixing substances, and maybe give some of these harm reduction articles a geeze before you have to tackle the comedown in one of our shitty tents. - If you see somebody having a bad time, make sure they’re ok.
We are all brothers and sisters and gender non-specific relations out here. If you see somebody struggling in any way, check on them, grab a Stoke staff member and just do what any decent human being would do.
Staying safe at Stoke Travel is super easy, but sometimes we get a little out of control and forget the basics. If you ever find yourself in any kind of situation do not hesitate to contact Stoke staff, and we’ll sort you out immediately. We’re here to help – help you have the best time possible. Mwah.

Itinerary
DUBROVNIK to Split
This is based on our 2023 itinerary – some changes to the schedule will be made depending on availability in the 2024 season. All docking locations and timing is subject to change depending on weather conditions and port availability.
The day prior to departure, your guide will add you to a group chat with your fellow shipmates! Here we’ll give definite check-in details.
Day 1: Dubrovnik
Welcome aboard!
Check-in at 12 noon, before the first voyage, and when the boat is ready for us we’ll get onboard , get a welcome drink and a speech about the crew, ship rules and a general rundown of itinerary. The afternoon is yours, to walk around the old town city walls, take a Game of Thrones tour, or rent a kayak to take it all in from the sea. We’ll have a family welcome dinner either on board or at a local restaurant, to pad our stomachs before the first big night out! The party starts onboard (enjoy that free booze), and then go on to what is famed as one of the best disco bars in Croatia, the Culture Club, Revelin, situated in a fortress in the walls of old town.
Day 2: National Park Mljet
Early departure to one of the seven National parks in Croatia, the island of Mljet, with a swim stop along the way. We’ll take an afternoon to stroll along the lakes on the island, swim in the saltwater lakes or even hire a scooter. The popular choice, and highlight of most people’s trips, is bombing off some cliffs and venturing to a hidden caves and grottos. Later we’ll drop the anchor offshore, have dinner on board and kickstart our party! Tonight the party doesn’t stop until the last man goes to bed, blast that music, drink the bar dry and even jump in for a skinny dip!
Day 3: Korčula
After a swim stop, we’ll arrive in Korčula harbour around 3pm, giving us enough time to visit the disputed house of Marco Polo and explore old town, or chill out on the ship’s sun deck, before perhaps heading to a dinner on Tramonto’s terrace, overlooking Korčula’s harbour. To start the party, we’ll head to Deja Vu, an outdoor bar run by “Crazy Niki,” before continuing on to Dos Locos, where you can show off your hidden talents on the stripper poles, and if that still isn’t enough you can head for a boogie at Jungle afterwards.
Day 4: Hvar
We arrive in Hvar for lunchtime, but it’s impossible to go to harbour till about 19:00. The boat will be anchored offshore at a relaxing swim location and we will take a taxi boat into town and head up to the Spanjola fortress for a beautiful view before heading down for some beach time or seaside cocktails. We could take it chill and take a dip at Hula Hula Beach Club, and maybe later that night head to explore an alleyway of bars starting at Kiva bar, or head to SEVEN bar for welcome shots and a fire show. Either way, all roads lead to an all-night party at Carpe Diem, the famed techno club based on the island just in front of the harbour.
Day 5: Stari Grad
This morning, our dusty asses set sail to Stari Grad, with a swim stop along the way of course to revive ourselves. Arriving mid-afternoon there is time to throw yourself off some cliffs, swim in the bay or even get your junk out at a nudist beach, whatever floats your boat. This night is reserved for an amazing Eco Farm dinner and wine night, taking in stellar views and getting adequately sloshed.
Day 6: Makarska
We cruise to Makarska, with a swim stop along the way of course. Arriving mid afternoon there is time to throw yourself off some cliff, swim in the bay or even get your junk out at a nudist beach, whatever floats your boat. This night is reserved for partying – what else? – once our bar closes, we will head to a cheap cocktail bar for a boogie before heading to the famous Cave bar.
Day 7: Omiš/Split
We leave Makarska and head toward Omis, for some fun – opting for either ziplining across 8 cables up to 150m up, or rafting down the river Cetina. We’ll arrive early afternoon in Split, and the afternoon is yours to explore, whether it be the Diocletian Palace, which is 1700 years old, HNK Hajduk Split Stadium, the famous Marijan hill, from where you can see the whole town and island. Or just relax on your new floating home. We’ll have a family welcome dinner either on board or at a local restaurant, to pad our stomachs before the first big night out! The party starts onboard (enjoy that free booze) and moves to Charlie’s Backpacker’s Bar, before continuing to an open-air club near the port.
Day 8: Split
It’s an early breakfast, and then unfortunately, it’s time to say goodbye until our next grand voyage together. You’ll disembark at 8:30am
