NEW TOUR ALERT 🚨🇭🇷

Meet Split & Dalmatian Coast -a brand-new tour that lets you unpack once and spend the week exploring one of the most beautiful stretches of the Adriatic.

🏛️ Split for ancient history, waterfront cafés, and the incredible Diocletian’s Palace
🍷 Trogir for medieval streets, seaside charm, and a little Croatian w**e tasting
💦 Krka National Park for waterfalls, walking trails, and some seriously gorgeous scenery
🌊 The Dalmatian Coast for that impossibly blue Adriatic water and plenty of Mediterranean atmosphere

And the best part? Six nights in Split.

No packing and unpacking. No changing hotels every couple of days. You get to settle in, get to know the city, and use it as your home base for exploring.

One hotel. Seven days. Croatia done differently.

:

Are you aware that the ETIAS requirement has been delayed.

If a website offers to process your ETIAS today, ignore it. The official portal isn't open.

Worth knowing for later: it'll cost €20, and it's free if you're under 18 or over 70. Free isn't the same as exempt, though. Everyone still has to complete an application.

🌎 Want to see more of the world… with fewer people?

Meet Globus Small Group Discovery — tours built from the ground up specifically for travelers who want the ease of guided travel with a more intimate experience.

And when Globus says small, they mean it.

✨ Average group size of just 15 in Europe and 18 outside Europe.

Smaller groups mean opportunities for experiences that simply aren’t possible with a full-size tour:

🍷 Private w**e tastings
👩‍🍳 Hands-on cooking classes
🎨 Art classes and local experiences
🏡 Unique accommodations and quaint estates
🔑 Exclusive excursions and special access
🌍 More freedom and flexibility to explore

And we’re not talking about one corner of the world. Small Group Discovery tours are available across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, South America and the South Pacific.

Think wandering through the ruins of Italy, exploring Costa Rica’s rainforests, discovering Japan’s pagodas or heading out on safari in Kenya — with a smaller group beside you.

Half the group. A whole lotta fun.

And if the itinerary you want isn’t offered as a Small Group Discovery tour? Globus offers small-group departure dates on many traditional itineraries, with an average of just 24 guests.

👉 Call Doreen with Blissful Vacations and ask which Globus Small Group Discovery tour could take you where you want to go next.
