GBMy 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.

GBBest Trip Ever This trip turned out to be one of our best trips ever. The ship was beautifully exceptional and the crew made our trip perfect. Nina, our tour director was just the best. She made every attempt to address any of our needs. I would recommend Always Croatian to anyone interested in the islands of Croatia.

GBAlways Croatia Perfect balance of guided tour time and free time. Excellent communication of what to expect, helpful tips for dinners, and places to shop or avoid. Amazing authentic dinners and lunches at local families homes and winery. We had an amazing time!! Darko, our cruise director, was amazing! He was so knowledge and fun!

GBYou 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.

GBCroatia Yacht trip We want to thank Christy Kranjec of Always CROATIA for arranging our magnificent trip of the Croatian Islands on The Mama Marija II our Luxury Yacht Charter Cruise on the Adriatic Sea. It was spectacular, we had the time of our lives. The Mama Marija II crew was beyond accommodating and our tour guide Darko was extremely informative with a great personality. We began our day with a swim in the beautiful waters of the Adriatic Sea then enjoyed our gourmet lunch. Compliments to the Chef he was a fantastic cook. The food on the yacht and also on the islands was absolutely delicious. All the Croatian people were delightful. The planning, arranging of tours, excursions and day trips where all well organized and impressive. The sights were breathtaking. Each island was beautiful and magnificent in its own way with a history that defined it. In Slano we went to an oyster farm, in Korcula there was wine tasting, Krka National Park in Split had beautiful waterfalls and we had a superb dinner in the home of a local prosciutto maker with music and entertainment. It was unforgettable and a truly memorable vacation and would not have been possible without the planning and coordination of Christy Kranjec. Thank you again Christy for the trip of a lifetime!!!
