Creator's Key Takeaways

We said goodbye to our yacht this morning and we've made our way inland across the border and here into Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The drive towards the border was breathtaking. We took some mountainous roads that gave us some spectacular views over Dubrovnik and Croatia.

The tour was about an hour and a half in length and it led us through some of the streets of this town, which is in fact in the area of Herzegovina, not of Bosnia.

The meat was cooked to perfection. We had two types of meat. We had a loin and we had ribs and those ribs were super super good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for crowded streets and potential pickpockets in Mostar.
Use the church tower as a navigation point in Mostar.

MV Corona (Now MV Felicita) Riviera Travel Yacht Tour - https://youtu.be/NidjxzWucMU Book your next Riviera Travel Adventure here - https://tidd.ly/4cgJdER We sailed onboard MV Corona in 2025 for all futures sailings from 2026 the ship has been renamed to MV Felicita. Disclosure: We were kindly invited onboard by Riviera Travel to experience their Southern Croatia Yacht Cruise with Bosnia and Herzegovina land tour. Riviera Travel had no editorial input, and as always, our thoughts and opinions are entirely our own. This Riviera Travel holiday combines a seven-night Adriatic yacht cruise with a three-night escorted land tour through Bosnia & Herzegovina. The journey begins in Dubrovnik, where you board a small, four-star yacht accommodating around 40 guests, offering an intimate and relaxed alternative to large cruise ships. Sailing along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, the itinerary includes historic ports such as Korčula, Hvar, Split, Pučišća and Mljet. Guided walking tours introduce the history and culture of each destination, while free time allows independent exploration. The cruise also features scenic sailing, swim stops in clear waters and opportunities to enjoy the surrounding islands and national parks. Meals onboard include daily breakfast and lunch, plus a Captain’s Dinner. After disembarkation, the journey continues inland into Bosnia & Herzegovina. Highlights include the waterfalls of Kravice, the UNESCO-listed bridge in Mostar and the historic city of Sarajevo, where East meets West culturally and architecturally. The tour also visits Trebinje and local landmarks, providing insight into the region’s history and traditions. With flights, transfers, accommodation, guided tours and many meals included, the itinerary offers a comprehensive way to experience both the Croatian coastline and the Balkans beyond the Adriatic. We are Tom and Dom and we experienced our first cruise on the MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in 2021.Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available.
