Absolutely the best way to see the coast and islands is Aboard Arca

MS Arca - Awesome Adventure
Our time on MS Arca for the 1st time in Croatia was truly an experience that we won’t forget. All the crew were outstanding lead by cruise manager Tomi who’s enthusiasm & passion for the country and his job was inspirational. He went above and beyond to keep all passengers engaged in activities & learning about the culture throughout the 100s of years all the way up to present day. They kept us safe and up to date with all weather changes etc. The variety & quality of food was exceptional. The presentation and taste was some of the best we’ve experienced. The rooms were well maintained and the Arca was kept to a great standard. Hope to return again one day. Cheers Sean & Michelle Martin Australia

Wonderful Dalmatia!
An excellent trip with a very attentive crew. The boat was nice enough and neatly kept. It needed more shade on the upper deck which was not for smoking. We really enjoyed the long swim stops but the boated needed adult size paddle boards and maybe a kayak or other swim floats. Each port our cruise director gave a short tour and pointed out shops or restaurants based each couples style or preference. The excursions to Krka National park and the oyster farm were excellent! We took the Split to Dubrovnik route so we could stay a few extra days which worked out great as we were well acquainted with Croatia before venturing on our own.

Great time had by all
Our trip was great, we loved the family feel of our tour, our cruise manager was well organised, funny and well informed Highlights were the swimming , lovely dinners in towns, the Captains dinner was amazingly fun ! We had two days onboard with very little to do , waiting to dock , one day was 7 hours ! Could have been improved with some transfers to port(Hvar port) but this wasn't offered until after lunch (2hrs prior to docking) , no on board activity aside from captains dinner/swimming The food was acceptable, great breakfast , lunch was hit and miss Lots of pasta . We had several people with dietary requirements and they were always considered ,and given alternatives Overall we had a great time

Blissfull Croatia
The best way to see the Croatian Coast is on a small cruiseship and we would strongly recommend the Arca to our friends and family. Our cabin, no.6, was very comfortable, good beds and a spacious bathroom, for the size of the ship. The food, breakfast and lunch, was plenty and extremely varried and tasty. The daily excusions were great with overall good guides, everything was well coordinated, which made them a stressfree experience. We will do it again!

Take-over
We did a 34 person take-over… had all 19 cabins (15 couples and 4 singles). The ARCA was perfect for that. Onboard meals (bfast / lunch / and the first two dinners) were fantastic. Restaurant bookings for 34 people were also fantastic. If I was going to do this trip again, I would definitely rebook ARCA

The smaller island towns are so much more pleasant and authentic than cities of Split and Dubrovnik and Im glad we were able to experience the essence of Croatia on our cruise.

A very comfortable trip to visit the Dalmatian coast. The number of passengers is very good to get a more exclusive trip. The meals were very good and served at the table. Having cold water available and fruit we value very positively. The attention and care of the Manager Cruise have made the trip easier for us.

Best little boat around!!
Overall, I had the best time ever! There was plenty of time to have fun with friends and also take it slow. The on shore activities were varied and seemed special. The villages we visited were a bit crowded, I’d prefer smaller towns, but in general, the vibe was great. The food was absolutely stunning- did not expect that level of cusine! I wish the last day had more time at sea and didn’t arrive so early to split. It was an absolute blast and I’d book again 1000%!
