Every phase of the trip with Always Croatia was amazing. We stayed in Split for 2 nights prior to the cruise, and we were able to arrange a private car to pick us up at the Split airport through the company. Sarah was very helpful handling the details. We were picked up on time from our hotel and driven to Sibenik where our yacht was waiting for us. The crew took care of our bags, and we had a guided tour of the town. After the tour we were able to settle in and meet our fellow travelers and the crew. Everyone was very nice and the appetizers and drinks were great also. We loved the experience of being on the yacht, travelling through the many islands we were able to visit. The Adriatic is beautiful, and even though it was early May, the weather was very pleasant. Not hot enough for swim stops, but that didn't bother anyone on board. We had wineries to visit! Our tour manager Vilim was very kind and knowledgeable about each port we visited. The towns were all beautiful and having a local guide waiting for us was such a treat. Croatia is absolutely beautiful. The yacht itself was very nice. We had a lower deck cabin that was very comfortable. We've had smaller bathrooms in some hotels in Europe! Each morning breakfast would be waiting for us, along with that day's itinerary. There was plenty of room for everyone on board to find a place to spend the journey once we were underway. I especially enjoyed the sundeck. It's a great way to see the beauty of the Adriatic and its many islands. The food onboard was good, and the crew was very attentive and friendly. I think they had a good time too. The added excursions were the icing on the cake though. The wine tasting, the oyster farm, and especially the last dinner at a local family's home was unforgettable. Getting to meet some local Croatian families was such a treat. We were always treated so warmly, and it was great to be able to spend some time in their homes and experience their way of life for a few hours. All in all, it was a trip of a lifetime, but hopefully not the last. We're ready to go back already!

Sailing with Always Croatia on the MS San Antonio was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations I’ve had. From the moment we boarded, the crew made us feel genuinely welcome—their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stood out. The cruise director, Wilam did a fantastic job keeping everything organized while making the experience fun and effortless. Each day struck the perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. The food onboard was consistently excellent, with fresh, flavorful meals that we looked forward to every day. The guided tours were a highlight—informative, engaging. Our visit to the prosciutto farm was the best experience. We truly felt like guests. Whether we were enjoying the scenery from the deck or exploring charming towns along the way, everything felt seamless and well-curated. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for an stress-free and memorable way to experience Croatia.

Time management, Helpful staff, Apt description of the places we visited. Food was authentic on the cruise. Arrangements for transfer from hotel to cruise & Cruise to Hotel as well as site seeing .

Great trip and EXEMPLARY customer service!!! This is actually my second review for Always Croatia. But I feel compelled to let others know that THIS is a company to a book a trip with. We booked with Always Croatia for a land and cruise trip. The land portion focused mostly on the Istrian Peninsula and our trip consultant planned a very fun, yet relaxing itinerary. Because my foursome was also into cycling, they contracted us with a great bike vendor who guided us for a wonderful day through Istrian vineyards to Motovun. Our Always Croatia consultant also booked a FABULOUS hotel in Rovinj. Hiking, biking, biking, wine- and olive oil-tasting, and fantastic restaurant recommendations. All of the drivers spoke English and were very professional. And our driver from Opatija to Plitvice gave us amazing insights on how to beat the crowds at this impressive National Park. And what can I say about the cruise? Those islands and that beautiful blue Adriatic taking us from Split to Dubrovnik. We had expert guides at every stop telling us all about the history, food, and culture of Croatia - and the Dalmatian Coast in particular. But here's the thing that REALLY blew me away. We had mailed some laundry from Croatia back home to the States to free up room in our suitcases. We unfortunately went through Croatian Post. That was NOT a good idea. But Christy - the owner/manager of Always Croatia - helped us get our package back. It had hundreds of dollars of bike gear and I frankly thought we had no chance at ever seeing it again. But Christy and her staff helped us get everything back. That speaks volumes for Always Croatia's passion for outstanding customer experiences! This is a 5 star company!!!

This was an amazing trip. This was my bucket list trip and I was nervous it wouldn't live up to my dreams. It absolutely did and actually exceeded them. From the booking and planning stages with Sarah, to disembarking, everything was perfect. We added in a pretrip with private transfer and 1 day private tour to Montenegro. Everything was wonderful,especially the private wine tasting on the return to Dubrovnick. The ship and all the staff were wonderful, especially our tour guide Sinisa. The two highlights were the excursion in Ston where we had fresh mussels and oysters and the dinner we had at a family's house. This trip truly was a trip of a lifetime and Always Croatia was fantastic to work with.

Always Croatia came through for us in every way. Besides ending our two weeks with an outstanding small ship cruise, they helped us begin our trip by planning a custom designed land tour, stopping at places we'd never heard of and would never have found. Bike tour, check. Winery, check. Natural wonders, check. History and culture, check. All our hotels, guides and drivers during our first week were friendly, accommodating, gracious, and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our visit to Croatia. Most importantly for us, the whole trip proceeded seamlessly. Everyone’s timing was impeccable. Thank you Always Croatia!

Always Croatia, through their agent, Christy, did a magnificent job organizing every aspect of the trip, including an add on of 2 days in Montenegro. With their app that was supplied just before leaving, we had at out finger tips our itinerary, who was going to pick us up and when, tickets to tours and places, restaurant reservations etc.

Every facet and detail of our Always Croatia cruise was totally excellent - from the facilities and boat and cabin, to the organized day trips and cultural talks and lectures. Most, the staff both during booking and during the cruise were perfect - super helpful, professional, courteous, and just plain nice. I can’t speak more highly of Always Croatia and the cruise. And of course, Croatia herself, is beautiful.
