Hotel Selection
Where are we staying?
We want to prioritize your comfort and convenience to provide you with the best group travel experience, so we have chosen a beautiful 5-star hotel in Split to begin our journey before we embark on a week-long adventure on a private yacht.
Hotel Ambasador is a sleek, contemporary five‑star hotel on Split’s waterfront promenade with a rooftop swimming pool, pool bar and a Mediterranean restaurant and spa, all within steps of the Riva and Diocletian’s Palace- 1 night
Our private yacht charter is a beautifully crafted 32-meter gulet yacht offering a stylish and relaxed way to explore the Croatian coast. With 6 spacious ensuite cabins, polished mahogany interiors, a hot tub and expansive outdoor decks, it’s perfect for both comfort and connection.
The charter includes a professional four-person crew and chef, air-conditioning, 24/7 generator, wifi and water toys plus all-inclusive drinks and half-board dining for two meals a day. Guests can enjoy fresh Mediterranean meals onboard, unwind on sun-drenched decks, and take in the Adriatic scenery in effortless style – 7 nights
Yacht Accommodations: Please be aware that the rooms & en-suite bathrooms on the yacht are smaller than a hotel room would be. To make the most of the space – unpacking your suitcase for the week will be ideal. There are plenty of spacious gathering areas on the yacht to relax and we will be spending a lot of time on land exploring the small coastal towns of Croatia.

Questions about our group trips? We have answers.
What is the age range?
Our trips are open to anyone aged 21+. We offer segmented trips for specific age ranges: Scout Escapes for our Gen Z and Millennial travelers -or- Scout Escapes Beyond for our mother/daughter and Gen X and beyond travelers. We offer different itineraries tailored to each age group to foster friendship and exploration!
Can you explain your pricing
Our group trips are bespoke itineraries, curated with boutique hotels and private experiences. We exclusively select 4 and 5-star hotels and prioritize private guided activities and private transportation with trusted travel partners in the industry to provide you with an exceptional trip that is worth the price tag.
Is this open to first-time travelers?
Absolutely! Our trips are open to first-time travelers and travel veterans alike. We craft our trips in detail and can assist you every step of the way. You’ll be given an abundance of information, including destination info, travel tips, packing list, and restaurant and free-time recommendations. As always, you will also have your expert host and local guides with you during the entire trip!
How are roommates assigned?
All attendees are required to submit an extensive questionnaire that helps us get to know you and pair roommates. We take into account sleeping habits, travel preferences, tidiness, personality, hobbies and interests to choose your roommate. We also open our Instagram group chat if you prefer to find a roommate with someone you vibe with on your own. If you prefer to be solo, single rooms are an additional fee & subject to availability.
Can I explore on my own?
Yes, you can absolutely do things on your own. We have scheduled free time in every destination and provide you with a list of suggestions for activities. You’re welcome to explore on your own or opt in with the group for an optional free time activity.
Why are your trips priced in Euros?
With the ever-changing foreign exchange rate, it’s easier for us to price our trips in Euros as this is how we pay our vendors. But don’t worry – we do the exchange rate for you when sending invoices so you will be charged in USD at a flat 1.10 exchange rate.
Sit back & relax, you’re in good hands
