I don't even know where to begin! This was such a one in a lifetime magical trip! From the second we stepped on the ship to the time we took our luggage off, I was smiling from ear to ear. The rooms were bigger than I ever would have imagined and after one day of our A/C not working, Sinesha took care of it IMMEDITALY! It's hard to pick a "favorite" part because there was a surprise at every turn, but I think what made it the best week was the schedule/itinerary. Unlike other big cruises, it was the most relaxing and wonderful itinerary. The ship would set sail every morning and you could sleep/rest, you could get up and workout or just sit outside and marvel at the beautiful scenery as you cruised. You didn't have to hustle off the ship first thing in the morning! Breakfast was very good every morning with tons of options and the AMAZING swim stops in the most beautiful bays was the highlight of every day. You could soak in the sun, use the paddleboards or any of their floaties and just enjoy the beautiful day and surroundings. After lunch on the ship, we would dock and have more than enough time on each small island. Sometimes there was a guided tour and sometimes you were on your own. It really was the perfect blend of both into the itinerary. The tours were no more than 1.5 - 2 hours, which I think was PEFECT for each stop. Have I mentioned the beautiful water?? WOW! I could never get enough of it. Each island was unique and had it's own charm and just like out of a movie. Highlights were a couple of the excursions we did - Krka National Park was a major highlight for us - but the singing, dancing and homemade prosciutto at the family farm was a very close second. I really cannot say enough about this trip! I would be remisced if I didn't recognize the people that made it all happen during the week....the crew!! Because really - they made the experience. About 15 minutes into the trip and the staff knew our names and room numbers and how and what we liked. Sinesha is a GEM! His knowledge, his passion for his job and country and just his overall persona were such a joy to be around every day. We met some of the most wonderful people on this cruise and that's always an added bonus. I would 20 out of 10 recommend this week long cruise to any and EVERY one!

Our trip to Croatia was beautiful!! We had an amazing time there. We explored Split, Krka, Hvar, Vis, and Dubrovnik. All the local guides and drivers were fantastic, friendly and very knowledgeable. We worked with Sarah, and she was amazing!! She was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable of the country, and listened and planned exactly what we wanted! She did an amazing job planning our trip!!

What an amazing trip! The Always Croatia Team did an incredible job of putting our vacation together. We worked directly with Christy and Sarah through their San Francisco office. We told them what we knew of Croatia and what we wanted to experience, and asked for additional recommendations. Always Croatia completely scheduled our most memorable vacation. From a fabulous walking food tour in Zagreb, to the stunning beauty of Plitvice National Park, to Diocletian’s Palace, to island hopping with snorkeling and sea kayaking in the crystal clear Adriatic Sea, to the magnificent old city of Dubrovnik. We experienced all of this and so much more. Always Croatia arranged outstanding tour guides, transportation and first class hotels. Having never been to Croatia, we really didn’t know how to make this adventure work. Thankfully, the team at Always Croatia knows the country like nobody else. We give Always Croatia our absolute highest recommendation.

The Croatia trip was top notch all the way. Hotels, drivers, guides, and the boat trip - all so special. Zoran was great. Very personable and also helped me get my delayed luggage sent to our second port in Slano. The whole crew was wonderful. Was sorry to seee Croatia loose the soccer match in the Euro 24 competition. We watched on the boat along with the crew! I took so many photos!!! I will always recommend your travel agency for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Croatia. I am ready to go back again for more adventures!

We absolutely loved our trip to Croatia. We have traveled extensively throughout the world and this was our very favorite trip. The ship was immaculate. The crew was very loving and caring. Our cruise director Sasha was so amazing! He gave us many interesting facts and history of Croatia as well as being helpful, funny and a joy to be with. All the food was delicious and beautifully served. The excursions were informative and well planned. The definite high point was the daily swim stops. This made the trip so different and enjoyable. It gave you a chance to socialize with the other travelers as well as relax in turquoise sea. We are so glad that we took this trip with you!

Our recent vacation with Always Croatia on board the Premier was absolutely fabulous. The staff was very pleasant, accommodating and clearly interested in assuring that everyone had a good time; the food was excellent and the other passengers wonderful. Our daily swimming stops in the Adriatic Sea were a highlight of the morning and added to the very relaxing feel of the vacation. The stops we made along the journey from Split to Dubrovnik were so interesting and made special by the visit to a prosciutto farmer's home for dinner, the trip to an oyster farm, a wine tasting and the Blue Cave among others. We would highly recommend this experience with Always Croatia.

This was truly one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. Working with Always Croatia was a pleasure. I would not change a thing about this trip. MS Ban is beautiful, comfortable and it's crew excellent. Each stop we made was different, entertaining, even educational. And so, so beautiful from Dubrovnik, Vis, Hvar to Split, all amazing! For me the very best thing was our morning stop to swim in the Adriatic Sea. Only this type of ship can provide that. We also visited a lovely family that works in agriculture and spent a few magical hours with them. You leave loving everyone and having hope for humanity. Just what a trip should do

We cannot say enough about our experience on the MS Ban with Always Croatia. We have cruised on a variety of ships - from largest 7,000 passengers to river cruise with 140 passengers to a bike and barge with 25 people. However, this was one of our most pleasant experiences on this lovely yacht! From our wonderful and helpful booking experts to the cruise director Djoka as well as all the friendly staff on board we felt very well taken care of. Going to Croatia was a bucket list for us, however, little did we know what a beautiful coastline and the country islands were! Most people have heard of Dubrovnik, but there are so many beautiful islands that we also got to visit. Everything was very organized and the excursions were wonderful. Visiting a local family who provided the BEST dinner for us along with wonderful music was truly a highlight! Rooms were exceptional and cleaned daily, food was wonderful and the daily morning swim stops at our private "coves" were delightful. There was a perfect blend of touring time vs. personal time allowed to explore on your own. Would highly recommend this company if you want a wonderful way to see Croatia and sail on the beautiful waters of the Adriatic.
