1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

The swim stops and coming into the small harbour’s minus any other big boats.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

It’s casual so don’t worry about taking posh clothes.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

You could support charities that the operator are involved in by buying products. Hand dispensers were used for shampoo etc which saves waste.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

The holiday we had was excellent. However we didn’t get the holiday we booked due to the wind. Captain had to change our itinerary therefore we didn’t get the excursions that were advertised. The excursions we had were fine but not as good as they should have been due to last minute organisation, they were messy and were far more expensive than the ones we should have had. Felt a bit cheated.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Visiting and exploring small villages. Meeting lovely ship mates.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

On long swim stops ask if you could go ashore to explore new areas.. Ask for more information on exploring the islands, and other highlights you could take in.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

A little.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

Given the sea conditions and quality of the staff we would rate it very good. Felt very safe and comfortable in rough seas.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Swimming in secluded places.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

Don’t over pack. Shirts and t shirts are all you need.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

No. Disposable plastic cups for water and no recycling ( that we were aware of )

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

Ok. Not the level of luxury that we expected. Decent Coffee only available for 90 minutes per day otherwise self serve instant coffee. Cruise manager wasn’t a people person but crew made up for that.

Hello Louise. Thank you for your feedback - we rely heavily on feedback from our customers to monitor the quality of the cruises we offer and I am disappointed to hear that you were disappointed with some aspects of the cruise. Until a couple of years ago all the water that was provided was in plastic bottles, but under pressure from us the ships have now all changed to having water fountains. Many people take their own water bottles with them but that isn't always practical, so these cups are provided. It isn't ideal i know but it is moving in the right direction. I am sorry to hear that you didn't feel that the local people benefitted from your visit. The captain and crew of the vessel are all Croatian. Additionally in the evenings you will have eaten ashore at a variety of different restaurants on the islands that you visited, supporting the restaurants and staff, and as most of their produce is usually grown locally, you will also have supported the local rural economy and the fishermen too. The cruise manager should be a central point of communication, and we will follow this up as they should be very personable. We did offer you a Luxury Superior vessel at the time you booked, but you decided to book the luxury level. The rating of the vessels in Croatia is a comparative guide. The luxury vessels in Croatia don't pretend to match the luxury of a large luxury liner, but do provide more facilities and comfort, and staff, than smaller and older vessels. Once again, thank you for your feedback.
