1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The highlights of our cruise on the yacht Futura from Split to Dubrovnik were - the service from the cruise team, the excellent food, our knowledgeable and attentive cruise director Mariana, the amazingly beautiful locations we saw and the wonderful swims.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Take a swim mask, the visibility is awesome, and swim shoes for pebble beaches. SUPs, noodles and rings are provided but it's so warm and easy to float if you just like to bob around in the water.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Everything about the ship was Croatian and the stops were planned to help smaller villages as well as the more popular places. I'm sure all my purchases of jewellery, souvenirs and linen dresses helped in a small way!!4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
5 out of 5. Can't think of a thing I'd change.Lynda Mackey review 22 Oct 2021

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The krka park2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
If you want to have more time on land in Croatia this is not your tour. They only move the boat during the day and it's 6-8 hours to each port that you stop. You stop late in the day and only have the late afternoon and evening to see Croatia on land. Also you can't vet the other passengers and we had some that were high maintenance.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I think it benefited local people but didn't reduce impacts on environment because of the cruise but we knew that when we booked4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I would probably travel a little bit different next time just because we didn't have a lot of time to experience the town's we stopped in, we felt rushed. Also only had one swim stop because of the schedule.Ian Lancaster review 31 May 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Exploring the Croatian coast with so much original or restored towns to give insight into life over the last 1,000 years.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Make sure you can walk 12,000 steps a day3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Food on board of the boat was the worst from 39 years of traveling. Bus drivers got lost many time but we had a super tour director in Layla. The boat and bar attendants on boat very good although I suspect chemical smell from refit and many had allergic reactions.Shirley Leow review 22 Sep 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
We had a superb Program Guide, Goran, who was a great organizer, provided much information, answered all questions with professional ease and just made sure we could relax and have fun.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
September is a lovely time to visit the Dalmatian Coast, including swims in the Adriatic. The sun and air are still warm and the swarms of tourists are gone. We were rarely in port with large cruise ships. Enjoy the local guides who are carefully chosen and can provide cultural and historical context to your visit.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We had a Slavic crew, mostly from Croatia itself. Might have been more responsible to provide refillable water containers for our daily shore excursions as we were given plastic bottles.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
