Kiwis love the outdoors!

An awesome way to experience this is small ship cruising in Croatia...

The Eastern European country of Croatia, with its long coastline on the Adriatic Sea, offers a unique combination of all the things you wish for on a Mediterranean holiday: breath-taking natural beauty, an abundance of history, interesting architecture, great swimming and delicious food and wine. 

Croatia is famous for its crystal clear waters along its extraordinary coast, which encompasses more than a thousand islands. From aboard your small ship cruise, experience the jewels of the Adriatic such as Dubrovnik, Split and Rovinj, each ready to offer you an unforgettable visit. Croatia hovers between the Mediterranean and Central Europe; a place where an azure sea bathes coastal towns in a soft golden light. Immerse yourself in the picture postcard scenery and the mix of cultures of the Adriatic.

Travelling by small ship offers the opportunity to conveniently explore Croatia's must see destinations. Cruising on board your small ship, you are able to:

• Visit smaller ports and tiny islands that are inaccessible to larger ships
• Avoid the traffic and congestion by being dropped right in the middle of the spectacular medieval towns if you travel in peak summertime
• Avoid the crowds while still enjoying the balmy climate if you choose to travel in the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn
• Dine out in the evenings and enjoy the local cuisine and wine that Croatia is known for

For those who love the outdoors and adventure, Croatia is our pick of the cruise destinations in Europe. You can choose to be as active as you like, with a number of small ship cruises offering cycling or hiking components as part of the land activities.

We love the fact that on a small ship cruise your evenings are largely spent on the land in the small villages, experiencing the local food, wine and hospitality, something that you don’t normally get to experience on a larger ship journey where they want you back on board for dinner.

This month we are featuring MS Sea Swallow – a new luxury yacht-like vessel that will surely satisfy the highest of expectations. Brand new and state of the art, this vessel is currently being built in order to be ready to impress for the 2019 season.

Boasting many luxury features such as an upper deck restaurant and bar, VIP 180 degree saloon area for watching the spectacular scenery, sun deck with a jacuzzi; not to mention the spacious, modern and well equipped cabins – any cruise aboard the MS Sea Swallow will be one of style and comfort.
