The best way to see the epic coastline of Croatia is on a ship.

Eat, sleep, rave, repeat with Busabout’s Croatia Sailing and Ultra Europe Music Festival package, exclusive to Student Flights.

If you thought sailing trips were the exclusive domain of men in deck shoes and popped collars, think again.

The best way to see the epic coastline of Croatia is on a ship, and a sailing trip is not just for squillionaires and heiresses – Busabout has a boat for all budgets skippered by experienced crews including an onboard cook.

Cruise the Adriatic Sea on a Classic Standard boat – well-preserved vintage wooden vessels for a ship-shape retro feel; top up your tan atop the huge decks of the Classic Ensuite boats, known as the Dalmatia party boats; or go for the sleek modern lines, spacious cabins and the latest add-ons onboard the new-gen Cruiser Ensuite ships, the ultimate high-sea rollers in the Busabout fleet.

Croatia’s Dalmatian coastline is dotted with historic sites – Busabout guides will clue you in about the tiny walled medieval cities that hug craggy cliffs, hidden havens steeped in pirate lore and the eclectic islands with pristine natural sights, all bathed by crystal-clear waters you won’t be able to resist leaping into from the boat.

103,000 revellers from over 75 countries partying at the three-day event

You’ll spend your summer days sunbaking, swimming and sightseeing with guided walks at stunning ports on the Dalmatian Coast like Hvar, Mljet, Dubrovnik, Korkula, Makarska, Omis and Split, and your nights will be all about getting down in unique hotspots – clubbing in monasteries, raving in sea caves or partying onboard a ship, anyone?

Croatia has become known as a party destination, so it’s not surprising that it was chosen to exclusively host Ultra Europe Music Festival – one of the world’s largest electronic music events and an offshoot of the legendary Ultra Miami. The first Ultra Europe took place in 2013 against the historic city backdrop of Split and the beautiful island of Hvar with 103,000 revellers from over 75 countries partying at the three-day event.

In 2014, the advance tickets to Ultra Europe sold out before the line-up was even announced. The three-day festival took place in a massive stadium environment enhanced by state-of-the-art sound, lighting and fireworks in Split before adjourning to the more intimate setting and rocky sunbaked shores of Hvar for an all-day and all-night pool and beach party. Last year the stellar DJ lineup included Armin Van Buuren, Fedde Le Grand, Steve Aoki, Tiesto and Erick Morillo, to name just a few of the top international talent on the decks.

To make sure you’re in with the in-crowd at what is guaranteed to be a sell-out event in 2015, book your seat on a nine-day or ten-day Busabout Ultra Croatia 2015 tour that includes a three-day general admission pass to next year’s Ultra Europe Music Festival in Split.
