Uncover Croatia’s coast, culture, and charm
Croatia truly is a country that has it all – from sunlit islands and medieval walled towns to vineyard-draped hills and stunning deep blue seas.
The three cruises below offer you the chance to sail between hidden coves, stroll the marble streets of Dubrovnik, and taste local wines along the Dalmatian coast. I’ve listed the cruises below with fixed dates, but please know that other dates are available. However you choose to explore, Croatia is a place to slow down, savor, and let the Adriatic Sea set the rhythm of your journey.

Split to Dubrovnik Wine and Gastro Cruise
10 nights | MS San Antonio
From May 2 (other dates are available)
$4,415 pp based on double occupancy
I’m excited to share a special small-ship option from my partner in Croatia: a 10-night Croatia and Montenegro Wine & Gastro Cruise and Land Tour, on the newly refreshed MS San Antonio.
This luxury yacht hosts just 36 guests, with 18 cabins and plenty of space to relax. The ship has a spacious fully air-conditioned upper deck dining room with bar and lounge area, and a spacious sundeck with comfortable deck-beds with easy access to the Jacuzzi tub. There’s also a rear platform for easy access into the sea.
Download the PDF below for details of an itinerary designed for travelers who want more than just sailing between ports. You’ll enjoy guided sightseeing in every stop, four UNESCO World Heritage sites, a private concert in Dubrovnik, winery visits, an olive oil tasting onboard, lunch at an oyster farm – even a home-cooked dinner in the village of Gromaca, where a local family is waiting to host you with some true Croatian hospitality!
