Always Croatia Avis 

I highly recommend Always Croatia. They were great to do business with. The trip was great! The ship was nice, good food, staff was fantastic especially Ivana our tour guide and Anastasia one of the servers. We loved Croatia with its beautiful landscape, crystal clear water and perfect weather.

⸻ An unforgettable cruise with Always Croatia aboard the Desire!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an incredible week cruising Croatia with Always Croatia on the Desire! The boat was beautiful, the crew was amazing, and the food was delicious. We loved every stop — Dubrovnik, Korčula, Vis, and all the other gorgeous spots along the way. The daily swim stops in the Adriatic were the absolute best! Truly an unforgettable trip. 🌊🇭🇷✨

First of all, I really appreciated how responsive Christy was to all of our questions. The hotels on land were beautiful, comfortable and very clean and our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. On our own we joined Carmela's evening food tour in Zagreb and loved it. Our ship MS Desire was, also, very comfortable and clean. The staff, including our director Kruno, were fabulous and we had outstanding meals onboard. A surprise birthday celebration with a beautiful cake was quite fun and enjoyed with my new friends! I appreciated our free time at the ports, being able to explore on our own and eating at local restaurants. I would certainly recommend Always Croatia to anyone who would like to enjoy Croatia. Although we didn't do this, I would recommend staying in Dubrovnik a little longer and doing a day trip to Montenegro.

It’s difficult to find the right words to describe our wonderful Croatian cruise with Always Croatia. From the hospitality of the all-Croatian crew to the extraordinary beauty of every stop, to the almost daily swim stops in crystal clear water, ours was truly a memorable cruise.

Always Croatia is the way to see Croatia! This experience was top notch, from beginning to end. I have used many tour groups over the years, and Always Croatia is at the top. Christy in the US is a great coordinator, and our crew and guides in Croatia were superb at customer service. The ship was clean and comfortable, the meals were delicious and locally inspired, and the locales for swimming and touring were beautiful. Everyone went out of their way to make sure our time was enjoyable. And a lot of the fun was the small group of travelers we bonded with in our week together. There are many companies to choose from for your tour, but I totally recommend Always Croatia.

Our trip to Croatia (Dubrovnik to Split) on the MS Premier was fabulous. We started with a couple extra days in Dubrovnik, which I highly recommend. You can’t possibly explore this beautiful walled city in just a day. Once on the ship we got a warm welcome from the cruise director and crew and met the other 28 passengers. The ship was well appointed and had plenty of space to relax, read or socialize with other passengers. The ship made stops each day for swimming. The walking tours were quite interesting and were guided by local tour guides. While the food on the ship was excellent (and plenty of it), we also loved eating at local restaurants on each island. Reservations were recommended, but we found it quite easy to walk up to most any restaurant and have dinner.

We were so fortunate to have a delightful crew on the ship. Each and every one of them made us feel welcomed. It was fun getting to know them.

I would highly recommend Always Croatia if your travels take you to Croatia. They were so easy to work with, and responded quickly to our questions. The trip was very well organized and thought out. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

We loved our Croatia trip, and leaving it all in Christy's hands made it relaxing and stress-free. Being on a small boat was incredible - swam in the Adriatic Sea daily, ate breakfast and lunch on board, then on to small, quaint Croatian islands for exploring and dinner. Great trip.

Oh my goodness we had an absolutely incredible time with Always Croatia. We debated between two Cruise lines and I have to say it was definitely one of our most wonderful vacations to date, and we travel a Lot!. Everything with Always Croatia was top-notch, professional, and filled with pride and kindness…
From the communication of Ana Maria and Sarah early on, to Captain Luka of the San Antonio, to Ivana, our Amazing cruise director who was absolutely wonderful, to Šimun the bartender and life of the party! The darling kind girl who did the cleaning of our cabin, went way above and beyond…all was Perfect!
We will definitely look forward to hopefully joining you again in the future!
The itinerary was great and the cabin very roomy and comfy! The ship met all our expectations. The pick up and drop off drivers were also much appreciated.
Hvala ti puno!!

The service was fantastic. Our guide Zoran was informative and engaging. We celebrated our 40th anniversary and they presented us with a cake and champagne. The staff were friendly and professional. We would highly recommend Always Croatia.

The guide , staff, itinerary all was tremendous ! Highly recommend !

Our clients RAVED about how wonderful their Croatia family cruise was through Always Croatia. 11 people, 6 cabins, everybody happy. Thanks Christy for making it easy.

The Croatia trip was truly AMAZING and far exceeded our expectations. Everything about the experience was fantastic – the cruise, the hotels (Hotel More, Hotel Forza Mare), the drivers, our tour guides, Zoran (our cruise director), and crew….all top notch! We loved the pace of the itinerary, the swim stops for relaxation, and the ports of call. We liked having the mix of dinners on board with dinners on our own. And also loved dinner with the Croatian family, that was one of our favorite activities. We wouldn’t change a thing!

Only issue we had was a slight delay in getting our itinerary but Sarah Diaz, who is excellent to work with, took care of the issue pretty quickly. We would definitely book with Always Croatia again.

We did the 8 day cruise from Split to Dubrovnik July 12th -19th. EVERYTHING about this trip was fantastic aboard the MS Premier. Our director Lejla was absolutely fantastic. From her education and knowledge of the area to taking great care to keep us entertained and comfortable were exceptional. Vesna our bartender.. Fantastic. What the folks in the kitchen were able to put out from an area the size of a bathroom was amazing. ALL the crew worked hard to keep things seamless. The cabins were clean and extremely comfortable. Hot water showers with plenty of pressure. The scenery and the towns were fantastic with plenty of outside excursions to the best this beautiful country has to offer. Anyone could go on about this country but this is a review about Always Croatia. Anyone looking to explore this beautiful country, this the way to do it. If you are looking for the right group, boat, outfit… stop now and book. You’ve found it!

This is not a review about Croatia itself, because I don’t think that would be useful. I mean if you’re reading this, chances are you already know enough about the spectacular country to want to visit. The question then becomes which company do you want to place your trust in to deliver an experience that will live up to your expectations. Thinking about Always Croatia? Well, stop thinking. Book before somebody else grabs your cabin. Really. As a seasoned traveler with my own travel business, I do a lot of research and comparison. Always Croatia stood out right from the start. The itinerary, the ship, the amenities all appeared stellar (and were!) but the people behind the company are what sold me. They aren’t just interested in getting you there; anyone can do that. What immediately impressed me was the way employees spoke about the company with obvious knowledge, pride and enthusiasm; Always Croatia is run by Croatian-Americans who clearly know and love their heritage. They genuinely want to provide outstanding, memorable services tailored to client preferences. They more than did that for me. Not surprisingly, the employees on board were professional, friendly, fun, and appeared to love what they were doing. Laila, without question, has to be one of the finest tour directors in the business. Yes, Croatia is a magnificent place to visit. Visiting it with Always Croatia made it absolutely phenomenal.

Our time in Croatia aboard the MS San Antonio was absolutely magical — the perfect introduction to the country’s vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and welcoming people. The breath taking scenery left a lasting impression, and we learnt so much from the brilliant guides. The crew couldn’t have been more friendly or accommodating, and every meal was a delight. It truly was a trip we’ll treasure forever.

Really nice-sized boat with only 35 passengers. Small enough that we got to know everyone and enabled us to anchor in towns and locations that the massive cruise ships can’t go to. This way, we avoided stops with thousands of tourists. (Other than Dubrovnik) Very well organized, with friendly staff, guides and crew. These types of small boat cruises are an excellent way to see the islands of Croatia. Otherwise, we would have been taking ferry after ferry and checking in and out of one hotel after the other. Recommend highly!

We had a wonderful experience with Always Croatia on the San Antonio ship. The crew and our guide were all lovely and lots of fun, as were the tour guides at various stops. The whole experience was very well organized. There were several unique outings that were special experiences (cooking with a warm and welcoming village family, biking around the Mljet park/lake, a farm-to-table dining experience in a lavender field). Being on a small ship was great, nothing like a humongous cruise, as it was an intimate experience where you get to know everyone (approx 30-35) and the best was that most stops were in small ports where the massive cruise ships couldn't dock. There are daily swim stops in calm, clear water inlets and plenty of relaxing downtime to read and sun though plenty of shade on boat too. The rooms aren't that big but but was worth it having a small ship like a yacht. I probably would have preferred lighter lunches than 3 courses but the meals were excellent. We much preferred the smaller port stops like Hvar, Korchula, Makorska, Brac Sibenik, than the big ones like Split and Dubrovnik which were very crowded with cruise people. I would have liked more time in the villages and less daily time swimming but the itinerary needs to please many types of vacationers. Would highly recommend the experience.

Young and "senior" our entire family (13 of us) loved every moment experiencing the kindness, expertrise, attention to detail, knowledge and professiomnalism of the entire staff- - - Captain, crew, food service, and especially the tour director. Land and Sea adventures were all special. Chrisrty and her staff made it easy and enjoyable to book the trip.

This was like being one some billionaire's private yacht; not at all like a cruise. The only thing I would change would be the three course lunch every day; way too much delicious food for my waistline!

We were searching for a trip to Croatia after some friends raved about their land trip. Since my husband and I both love boats and being on the water, we were very lucky to find Always Croatia. We chose one of their land and Cruise tours. Dubrovnik to Split, then Plitvice Lakes and Zagreb. Sarah could not have been more helpful. She helped us add extra nights and activities on either end of our trip. The hotels they selected for us were wonderful. All transfesr, bus rides and tour guides were pleasant and professional. The yacht, PREMIERE we stayed on for 7 days was fantastic. We had 36 passengers in our group and what a fun way to travel. We've done large cruise ships and a viking longship and this was by far our favorite. We got to know everyone and the crew of 9 was great. Especially our tour director Ivan. He was so helpful, interesting, funny and knew so much about Croatian history. The trip was the perfect mix of swimming/sun time, lovely meals, exploring the islands/walking tours, well planned excursions and free time. No early wake up times and free time most evenings. The country is absolutely gorgeous with teal waters, mountains and islands. Thank you to Sarah and Christy the owner. We even got to meet her and her parents at the local Croatia dinner party. Thank you for the wonderful experience from beginning to end! Lori & Dan B.
