Cruises

Cruise ship

The cruises are conducted in an informal way and provide unique opportunity for passengers to sail leisurely amongst the most beautiful coastal scenery in Europe. The cruise vessels are traditional Dalmatian schooners, all reconditioned with updated facilities offering reasonable standards of comfort which vary from ship to ship. Your cruise days are programmed to provide plenty of time for sunbathing, swimming and exploring picturesque Dalmatian towns.  Each evening your  ship will be moored or anchored in a different port following your cruise itinerary enabling you to socialise ashore in the company of fellow guests on board. A week cruise includes breakfast and lunch on board.

However, dinner is not included and you are free to make your own arrangements in each port of call and experience the local ambiance.  
Apart from popular European menus, you will find in each resort restaurants serving  authentic Dalmatian fish dishes :  grilled sea bass, mullets, mackerel, scampi, calamari /squid risottos, octopus salad, mussels with wine and garlic.

FLIGHTS 
If you wish we can include in our   fly – drive holiday  flights by Croatia Airlines
However, with increased competition in air travel, airlines more and more, rely on ‘fluid’ pricing to fill in their seats. So much so, that in many instances it is impossible to predict the cost of flights from one month to another. This situation affects equally scheduled and charter flights. For this reason we have decided not to publish in this section  air fare prices. - enabling our customers to take full advantage of any bargain fares made available at the time of reservation
