My experience on Katarina's Aurelia was… delightful. My experience on Katarina's Aurelia was wonderful. The Aurelia is a beautiful ship and our trip was very comfortable and well managed. Our group of passengers was, for the most part, a cohesive and lively one which was tremendously appreciated, as this might not have been the case. The crew were all just great. Jossep and Robert are lovely guys and took very good care of us. Kudos to Mira for her delivery of daily information about stops, changes to our schedule, local history as well as the strengths of the Croatian people in their efforts to service the tourist population that has been expanding. Croatia is handling this growth very well. Croatia is a gorgeous country, every aspect of it. The people are lovely overall. The food was clean and fresh. We were lucky to have clear skies and warmish seas to swim in. Early October was fine in this respect and I think most of the seasonal crowds had gone. I will say that our "itinerary", as presented by Always Croatia, was not .... how can I say? Consistant? Reliable? Available? It was unclear as we approached our sailing date what our itinerary was, because it had seemed to disappear. It was not on their website anymore. This seemed to affect most those passengers who had booked specifics, like "wine tours". My cruise experience was not affected but some disgruntled energies were felt onboard. My experience overall was affected by some lack of communication in the area of "transfers", before the trip. Fortunately the transfer was accomplished and the cruise experience was lovely.

My husband and I had a lovely time on… My husband and I had a lovely time on our Croatian cruise which was booked through Always Croatia. Christy helped us book the cruise and Ivan gave us detailed instructions how to find the cruise line office once we were in Split , Croatia. We had a cabin with a balcony and we were able to enjoy wonderful days at sea and beautiful island stops along the way. The food was good. The cruise director was very informative about the Croatian wines and history of the country. The other passengers were delightful. The daily swim stops were relaxing We saw breathtakingly beautiful scenery . All in all we enjoyed our cruise and would go again.

PERFECT, JUST PERFECT I can’t remember having a more perfect vacation from Pickup at my hotel to arrival at the most beautifully outfitted yacht Mama Marija II, my luggage delivered to my amazing stateroom with lush linens on a comfy queen size bed, to the happy and helpful faces of an amazing English speaking crew, gourmet meals prepared by star worthy chefs, and most notably the AMAZING Nina, our cruise director. There was never a moment where she didn’t have a smile on her adorable face. Miss you Nina. I don’t use the word “perfect”very often, but taking a week long sailing aboard the Mama Marija along the exquisite coast of Croatia was about as close to perfect as you can get.

You can trust Always Croatia to give you their best. Hiring Always Croatia was the best decision! Thanks to Christy and the people she hires our trip was flawless. We never had to worry about a thing. The drivers were always professional and on time to pick us up and take us to our next adventure. The hotels, food, and tours were all excellent. I would totally hire Christy again.

Wonderful experience from the initial… Wonderful experience from the initial planning to the actual trip! Everything was clear and detailed as far as the booking. Everyone we worked with from the planner, to the cruise director, to the captain and the cook was top notch. We loved our trip and would go back again and again. It was filled with truly unique and authentic experiences we never could have booked on our on.
