Tauck has opened reservations for its complete 2027 Tauck Bridges collection of family-focused guided holidays, introducing a new small-ship cruise along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast as a centerpiece of the programme.
The new itinerary, Croatian Coast: Family Voyage, will operate aboard Lupus Mare, a Croatian-built yacht accommodating 34 guests. Designed specifically for navigating the Adriatic, the vessel offers access to sheltered bays and smaller island harbours beyond the reach of larger cruise ships. The 8-day itinerary will sail between June and August 2027, with departures aimed at families travelling with children aged 8 and above.
Operating exclusively for Tauck Bridges guests, Lupus Mare features 15 en-suite cabins, including four triple-occupancy accommodations. A crew of ten supports operations on board, while facilities include an indoor restaurant, lounge and bar, fitness centre, sauna and cinema room. Outdoor spaces comprise several open-air lounges, a sun deck with a jacuzzi, and a swim platform equipped with water recreation equipment, including paddleboards, inflatables and a waterslide.
Sailing roundtrip from Dubrovnik, the itinerary includes calls at five Croatian islands as well as mainland destinations such as Omiš and Split. Shore programmes combine outdoor activities and cultural experiences, including a guided scavenger hunt through the medieval streets of Korčula, rafting on the Cetina River near Omiš, and a historical programme at Terra Arhaica on Hvar. Guests will also have the option to kayak, cycle or take a ferry excursion to a 12th-century Benedictine monastery within Mljet National Park.
The voyage concludes in Dubrovnik with a guided exploration of the UNESCO-listed Old Town and a cable car journey to Mount Srđ overlooking the Adriatic coast.
The Croatian programme joins a broader 2027 Tauck Bridges collection comprising 24 itineraries across 5 continents. The portfolio includes European river cruises, African safari experiences, Galápagos expeditions and land-based journeys throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
According to Tauck, demand for the 2027 family travel programme has opened strongly, with bookings running more than 25% ahead of comparable 2026 levels. The company reported particularly strong interest in its European river cruise offerings and its Global Journeys & Safaris collection, reflecting continued demand for multi-generational and experience-focused travel.
