Travel with East County Schools FCU!

Our trips have been custom designed to be an unforgettable travel experience for all East County school employees, as well as their family and friends. Find out what more than 700 Educator Tour travelers have come to enjoy on these exceptionally well-planned trips, and why travelers return year after year.

From medieval architecture to ethereal waterfalls, coast along the sparkling Adriatic Sea and experience the best of Croatia. Begin your journey in Zagreb, the illustrious capital of Croatia. Stand in awe before the cascading waterfalls of Krka National Park. Discover the ancient palace of Emperor Diocletian in Split. Enjoy a memorable 7-night cruise on the Adriatic Sea along Croatia’s coast aboard a privately chartered ship. On Brac Island, take in the “Golden Cape” of Bol. Visit the island of Biševo, home to the mystical Blue Cave. Tour the Old City of Dubrovnik and walk along the picturesque cobblestone streets. See the country’s immaculate beauty as you cruise its vibrant waters and step into its rich history.

This Croatia trip sold out so fast for Summer 2023, we are repeating it again for Summer 2024.

The opportunity to book the entire 36-passenger yacht-cruiser for this amazing Croatia tour (7 day cruise within a 12 day trip) is so special and unique, that we are offering it again for 2024 so that more of our members and school district employees, friends and family can enjoy this incredible international travel experience. This ship has 18 double occupancy cabins. Our plan is to once again fill this yacht with 100% Educator Tour passengers.

Built in 2020, with a 4-1 guest-crew ratio, on-board Jacuzzi, air conditioned rooms with satellite TV, en-suites and ample storage, the MS San Spirito or MS Invictus (shown above) is a once-in-a-lifetime way to explore the coast of Croatia for seven of the 12 days!

Reservation form and initial deposit is due now to reserve your spot. Maximum of 36 passengers on this yacht, in total. Final payment will be due Spring 2024.

  • There is an in-person Thailand and Croatia trip Information Meeting October 16, 2023, email ETTC@eastcountyschools.org to request a zoom recording of an earlier meeting, or to reserve your trip spot.

Travel Insurance: Educator Tours have low cost trip insurance available for purchase. In 2020 and 2021, every Educator Tour traveler received a 100% refund for their reservation fee, including the cost of the trip insurance, when the trips were canceled due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Trip Insurance is comprehensive, with a full refund available for literally any reason, until the day before departure.

Who Can Travel With Us: All Educator Tours are open to the general public. East County Schools FCU has been the corporate sponsor of this trip since its inception and as such, the trip is largely comprised of members of the East County education community, working and retired, and their friends and families. There is so much FUN on these trips, and such a connection amongst travelers, that many travelers attend year after year. Most years, our trip has an optional side tour to an educational facility in that area, which contributes to making them a work expense for some.

    From the beginning of the process to the day of funding, Suzy and her assistant, Lance, were exactly what anyone would hope for when refinancing their home. They responded to all my questions with patience and in a timely manner. They let me know what to expect and when to expect it every step of the way. I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. Thank you Suzy and Lance for making this so easy!
