    What Our Clients Say

    Why drive when you can sail

    Big thank you to the team at Cruise Croatia for putting us on such a beautiful cat and along with skipper Ivan. We loved the Kornati islands, swimming off the back of the boat and getting away from the hussle and bustle in Split

    Kathy Johnson from New York

    A tick off the bucket list

    Its going to be very hard for future vacations to live up to this one. Brand new boat, exceptional crew, stunning islands, hugely entertaining fun. Our first covid trip and boy did it live up to expectations. Great job Muno and Julian

    Bobb Barnett from San Diego

    Great cruise, shame about the weather!

    Highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking to explore the beautiful Dalmatian coast. We met some really amazing people on board and despite some very wet October weather, we enjoyed the cruise and made some new friends.
