The holiday

Scotland to Croatia without flying

This Croatia coach holiday connects Scottish pickup points with the Adriatic by coach and overnight ferry. The journey is part of the experience: dinner, breakfast and a private inside twin cabin are included on both Hull–Rotterdam crossings, with overnight hotel accommodation in Germany on the outward and return routes.

Your Croatian base is St Andrew Island, a traffic-free island just off Rovinj. Five nights of dinner, bed and breakfast at the four-star Island Hotel Istra give you time for Roman history, protected landscapes, coastal towns and unhurried island evenings.

Loch Lomond Travel offers this tour in partnership with Acklams Coach Holidays. Reserved coach seats are allocated closer to departure; add any seating request during booking.
