Always Croatia was a great experience. All tours, events and travel their were responsible for went great. The staff folks were always professional and helpful with any and all issues or requests. Fully recommended!

Great communication throughout the process. The ship and crew were amazing. The itinerary was the right balance of activities and relaxation, and all of the stops were beautiful. Everyone in our group said it was the best vacation they ever had.

We had a wonderful trip to Croatia!! Exceeded expectations at every level – the scenery, the people, the crew, the food & drink, the passengers and great camaraderie, the excursions, the weather – it was all fabulous!! We highly recommend Always Croatia for the best vacation ever!

We had a limited time to visit Croatia and wanted to make the most of our visit. Always Croatia planned a trip that took us from Dubrovnik to Split with tours that made the most of our destination. Their communication in the planning and during the trip was wonderful as they had a person in Croatia that we could contact at any time. The drivers were at our pickup locations on time and the hosts for the events were very informative. We would recommend Always Croatia for any of your Croatia travel needs!

We cannot say enough about our journey through Croatia with Always Croatia. There was only one problem, it was so awesome it may ruin all trips going forward! The ship, San Antonio, was wonderful. The crew were an absolute delight, and we became friends before the end of our journey. The food on board San Antonio was simply fantastic and rivaled some of the best restaurants we ate at in Croatia. My wife had a very serious passport issue which forced us to go to Zagreb to replace it. The staff was very helpful and did everything they could to make sure we were extremely well taken care of. I simply cannot recommend this more highly!

Always Croatia planned an exquisite trip for my group of 34. Beautiful hotels and land tours through the national parks and Istria lead by our incredible guide Djukan and a spectacular 7 day cruise through many Croatian islands on our yacht the San Antonio. The food, the crew, darling bartender Shimun, the special excursions to farmhouses, and moonlight dinners, swimming each day in the crystal clear Adriatic made this the most memorable trip ever. Christy, Boris and Sarah made sure every detail was perfect including an amazing surprise birthday party for me with special music at beautiful home in the country. Again our tour director Djucan stayed with us throughout the trip and was a wealth of information, had a great sense of humor and pampered us all. I can’t say enough about Always Croatia. I have been leading groups in the travel business for 50 years and this was one of my very best and I can’t wait to book another one. Thank you Always Croatia.

We just returned from a beautiful cruise with Always Croatia in September 2026. The weather was perfect and so was the cruise! Things we enjoyed the most were the food, our accommodations, the meal with a Croatian family, the staff, the swim stops, our fellow passengers, and our cruise director Zoran. We would cruise again with Always Croatia in a heartbeat!

Our experience with Always Croatia exceeded every expectation. From our very first conversation through the end of the trip, the communication was exceptional. Before we even booked, Sarah met with me on Zoom and patiently answered all of our questions. Leading up to the vacation, we were always informed about what to expect and what to prepare for. That level of communication gave us complete confidence in our travel plans every step of the way. The ship itself was absolutely beautiful, recently updated, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. Anna worked her magic daily, somehow managing to clean our cabin every time we stepped out. The cabin was surprisingly spacious, especially the bathroom, which featured a full-size XL shower. The ship offered multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, making it easy to socialize with fellow travelers or find a quiet corner to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. The swim stops were simply breathtaking. Captain Luka and sailors Duje and Aldo seemed to have a special talent for finding the most secluded and beautiful locations imaginable. The water was so crystal clear and brilliantly turquoise that it looked photoshopped. There were plenty of floaties and paddleboards for everyone to enjoy. We happened to visit during a heat wave, so those refreshing swim stops quickly became one of our favorite parts of the trip. And then there was the food... wow! Brane and Iva prepared incredible meals that were both delicious and beautifully presented. Before the trip, I wasn't quite sure what a "3-board meal" meant. For my fellow Americans, think of it as a three-course dining experience with a starter, entrée, and dessert. Every meal felt like dining in a wonderful restaurant. Shimun and Marina provided fantastic service as bartenders and servers. On the very first day, Shimun told us that by the end of the trip we'd all be friends, and somehow he was absolutely right. The included excursions were another highlight. We enjoyed guided tours through historic cities, visited a winery, toured an oyster farm, shared lunch at a family-owned prosciutto farm, and explored the magnificent waterfalls of Krka National Park. The quality of these experiences was outstanding, and I honestly don't think we could have replicated them on our own. The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and the portable headsets made it easy to hear every detail. Finally, I have to give special recognition to our amazing tour director, Kruno. Kruno was the heart and soul of the trip. He was fun, energetic, organized, and always one step ahead of everyone's needs. When our group wanted to dine together on a free evening, he not only secured a reservation for our large group but also recommended that we order Peka, a traditional Croatian dish that required 24-hour advance notice. He then arranged transportation for everyone. He thought through every detail so we didn't have to. His enthusiasm and genuine care for the guests made an already incredible trip even more memorable. If you're considering a Croatian cruise, stop looking and book with Always Croatia. The combination of exceptional service, beautiful accommodations, amazing food, unforgettable excursions, and an outstanding crew created one of the best vacations we've ever taken. We left with incredible memories, new friendships, and a strong desire to return.
