GBWe have done two Santana Adventures We have done two Santana Adventures, one to Tahiti and the second to New Zealand. We love riding our tandem, we love seeing the world through our biking experience, and being on a ship with a couple of hundred people who share this love as well. We love vacations full of action and activity, where we are tired at the end of the day from being out and seeing the world together and with friends. The people we meet on these tours are so wonderful and share similar values and interests. Bill always has a variety of rides to meet all levels of interest and ability so that no one feels left out; and he also has great activities for non-riders. We will definitely go again.

GBBest Normandy experience Our first Santana adventure cruise was amazing. Very well organized from the bike rental to the Tour de France party. Hearing stories of bike trips in other countries have us wanting more. Bill & Jan are excellent hosts. I Really appreciated Dustin’s help along the way for many reasons. Phillip & Laurie were very helpful after David’s bike crash on the Champs-Elysees. Excellent food on the longship. Great people on board to enhance our evening entertainment at dinner. Shout out to Gail for our daily Yoga sessions on the ships rooftop. We certainly would book another Santana Adventure again… Vietnam is at the top of our list. Sincerely, J & D Hopkinson

NZWe have been on two Santana adventures… We have been on two Santana adventures and have signed up for 4 more. The ships are exquisite. Much smaller than a traditional cruise ship, luxurious and with excellent food. Most importantly however the cycling locations and routes are primo. There is a nice variety of easy, medium and hard routes that anyone can find challenging or relaxing.

GBThis was my 3rd cruise with Santana… This was my 3rd cruise with Santana Adventures and I already booked the next one. I am only sorry that at 82 years of age my time for many more is running out. I love the combination of cruise and seeing the country by bike. Bill and Jan McCready are doing a great job organizing these trips and scouting the routes. The only thing they can’t control is the weather, but so far I have been mostly lucky. I highly recommend them!

GBThis was a fantastic cruise This was a fantastic cruise; if you want to be coddled and have your hand held every step-of-the-way, go on a Disney Cruise. If you want a great adventure seeing Europe on a bike (but without the hassel of being responsible for dragging your equipment around with you), this is the vacation for you. The routes are well-planned, allow for a bit of adventure and riding at one's own pace. Know how to fix a tire. Get miles on your bike before you leave. Enjoy the ride knowing that you have back-up for serious mechanical issues, someone will find you if you are truly lost or injured, and you get off the plane, hand your bike to the crew, and can enjoy yourself knowing that Santana has covered any issue that comes up.
