Description
Cruise on a small luxury vessel that visits many of the highlights as well as lesser known gems along Croatia’s Adriatic coastline. You will spend most mornings cruising for just a few hours and stopping in secluded bays for a relaxing swim, the afternoons exploring the historic towns and cities we visit and the evenings trying some of the plethora of restaurants and cafes that abound.
This coastline has been controlled by the Ancient Greeks, Romans, Illyrians, Venice, Hungary, Serbia, Yugoslavia and finally Croatia, and the Ottomans and Italians have also had major influences. Marco Polo was born in Korcula and Roman Emperor Diocletian built a vast palace which still dominates Central Split today.
Small ships
None but the smallest cruise ships are allowed into many of the small harbours and ports that litter the Croatian coastline and islands. Many big ships visit Dubrovnik and Split but nothing in between, simply because they can’t. They miss out on some of the highlights of this beautiful and historic region such as Hvar, Bol, Korcula and Vis. Our vessels, that carry a maximum of 40 people, can access all the small ports as well as the bays where we stop to swim on most days, and with just 40 people our guests are easily absorbed and catered for in the many small restaurants and cafes that abound.
Discover a nautical paradise on board newly built vessels, with a perfect combination of adventure and relaxation! Indulge all your senses while exploring inspiring destinations, charming fishermen’s villages, unique National Parks, picturesque coves for swimming, and tasting local Mediterranean cuisine.
