Stunning

A beautiful trip. Croatia is now very expensive due to the Euro, however, this was a stunning way to experience the coast. 5 star dining - Great quality, quantity and presentation although it would be nice to feature more local produce and cuisine rather than provide generic western style courses. Great crew and itinerary. Wine excursion at Korcula - beautiful setting; great cheese and prosciutto, however, wine was disappointing.

Superb cruise boat; great mix of guests; great service
