Best 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

2022 Aus/Taz trip Aus/Taz was a great trip, but after doing 11-12 Santana trips now my wife & I do not enjoy the larger ship experience. We feel like the need of larger ports there is too much time spent standing in lines, tenders off ships, & rides that have to incorporate the city/wharf part of the rides. With that said Windstar was a wonderful service ship—the crew was unbelievable. We also realize being a 1st time trip all the “on the fly” changes that were needed and how you best serve us as travelers.

One and done with Santana It’s hard to even give it a 1 star. This trip was the 3 D’s Disorganized Dangerous Disappointing Bill didn’t have the routes ready until an hour before the ride. His chicken scratch maps would make a 4 year old laugh, and he had nothing planned at any rest stops. If we did stop at a restaurant, they would run out of food by the time the later riders arrived. The routes took us on busy roads which were quite dangerous. All and all a very disappointing experience. I have done 15 Backroads trips and I will never waiver now that I have tried Santana Adventures. One and done!!

We 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.

This 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!
