  Awesome…it’s always fun having some Aussies on board. You know which boat you’re on? According to our Contiki travel agent, there are 2 boats set to sail off that day…

  @custodyQT – haha im sure we will bring our unique personalities abroad. i have no idea to be honest…
  I wasn’t even aware that there were two boats leaving. I’m going to see the travel agent soon so i shall see if they can provide any more details.

  @jacobF – cool! i believe we’ll be getting into split around midday or so on the 7th.

  Just booked today!!! This tour sells out fast every year and is supposed to be amazing! I’m coming solo from Calgary, Canada. The only advise i’ve heard from people that did this tour was bring some gravol just in case of sea-sickness. Hangovers can be a bit rough on sailboats. Anyone else having issues with their contiki profile(cant upload pics/error msg’s)?

  @RYAN-CANADA another Canadian!! i’ve heard only but good things about this tour also, im looking forward to it!
  thanks for the heads up regarding the sea sickness. hopefully we’ll be having too much fun to even bother about getting sick.
  yeah, i noticed the sites playing up a little. I think they might have a few bugs at the moment, should clear up soon.

  Hey everyone!!! I did the Spain-Spree tour in Sept and a guy from the trip set-up a facebook group page. It was great to get organized, and plan any side-trips. I`ll set one up if you guys are interested.

  Hi peoples, me and a buddy are doing this one, both from Adelaide, Australia and are flying into Split from London on the morning before.

  A mate told me who just got back that Croatia is really cheap to go out even if your a big drinker and early Septembers the best time to go because its not too hot and all the arrogant European tourists have gone by then :-P

  If anyones keen to hit up in Split on the 7th let us know….

  Hey all :) I was on the website getting info for my next trip (Oktoberfest camping if anyone is in for that :)

  I just did this trip in June- so I can give any info if you need- it was such a blast! Lots of partying and just relaxing on the boat. There are two boats with Contiki- either the Petrina or the Labrador. Labrador is bigger with bigger rooms- Petrina is an old pirate ship though so it has its charm!

  Things to make sure to do… I would definitely sign up for all the extras- the kayaking in Dubrovnik was absolutely stunning and a blast. The only option that wasn’t the best was the tour in Dubrovnik- She really didn’t give too much insight to the city- I would have rather wandered around or gone to the Buza bar outside the city cliffs (definitely do this- I didn’t have time to get there and regret it)

  When you get to the small town of Trstenik- find the beach bar- find out if they are opening that night for you (they opened just for our boats) and go there. The cave in Makarska is definitely a must as well.

  Take some of the large bottles of water that they sell in Croatia on the boats so you dont have to keep paying for the small bottles from the bar on the ship. Drinks and relatively everything in Croatia is cheap- so go nuts! Definitely get a floaty for swim stops- a must. I was on the Petrina- it gets really hot at night- I would suggest (once everyone is friends) to take the mattresses from your beds and sleep on the deck- much nicer! Girls- you really don’t need heels- I brought a pair and never used them- just cute sandals.

  Everyone had a blast and became great friends (I’m meeting friends from my boat for Oktoberfest!)- you are always traveling and going out with the other boat so you will see them often. Enjoy! Let me know if there are any questions :)
