Discover yoga at sea on your next cruise...

The special sailings combine a relaxing cruise around the Dalmatian coast with on-deck yoga classes and a host of mindful activities designed to invigorate and inspire.

Highlights include sunset yoga overlooking the tranquil islets of Mljet National Park, plus a chance to practise your Downward Dog at a vineyard on the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain, followed by wine-tasting and dinner.

Travelling with a certified yoga instructor, you’ll also be able to pick up some great tips and techniques.

Sailing round-trip from Spilt aboard the 38-guest motor yacht Almissa, these 6-night cruises also offer plenty of opportunities for a refreshing dip in the Adriatic from the ship’s swim platform, as well as a range of optional excursions including cycling, offroad buggy safaris and river rafting.

Prices start from £1,329 including daily sunrise and sunset yoga, a guided hike in Stari Grad, Captain’s Dinner evening, vineyard yoga visit and traditional dinner.

Expert tip from James Bradfield, dietician & nutritionist

"Seasonal satsumas are a good source of vitamin C and folic acid.

"Like all citrus fruit, they help in the prevention and treatment of colds, coughs and bleeding gums, while the pith and segment walls contain antioxidant flavonoids, which work with vitamin C to protect the body from damaging free radicals.

"Flavonoids also inhibit the formation of blood clots, so they’re an important nutrient for people at risk of strokes."
