Would definitely recommend this route.
The highlights were the small destinations we could get to.
The staff were very professional and friendly.
The guests were all German speaking except us (English) even so we were made very welcome and they included us in their conversations.
We were also provided with English speaking guides at 2 ports for a tour.
Overall experience was excellent.

Relaxing and educational
It was very relaxing and a feast on your eyes with crystal clear turquoise blue waters to swim in, the food on our ship Aria was extremely good considering the small space he had to work from, the only thing I would say is we were the only English couple on board with the rest from Germany so interaction with others was limited.

No free water
Great trip if you like to swim and walk. The general schedule breakdown is breakfast, sail to swim spot, lunch, land in port, walk around/activities. Somethings to be aware of though. Water is not included in the price, there is no free drinkable water. They will charge you for every water bottle you purchase. Only during breakfast, can you get free coffee or tea from the machine. Any beverage that the bartender gives to you, you'll pay for.

The boat and staff were amazing. Very knowledgeable about the area. The swim stops were absolutely beautiful
Only negative - I woukd really liked to have spent more time in the towns/ports. Sometimes arriving late, and not being able to get the full benefit of what these beautiful ports have to offer

Absolutely beautiful place, lovely weather. Very relaxing.
Comfortable beds, friendly crew. Food was in European style with large/heavy lunch. Would have liked to go into ports earlier in the day to allow for exploring the island and more activity rather than just having dinner in the Port. It would also be nice to have the option of planned activities on shore like cycling, Blue cave, lavender farm, mussel farm, etc.

Overall a very positive experience. Cabin crew was efficient but not always personable. Cabins were spacious and clean but mattress very firm and towels were uncomfortably rough. More and softer towels would be nice.

Wonderful, but didn't meet my expectations
We liked the boat and the tourists who were traveling. Lacking information about the places, there was no passion or conviction on the part of the company to show the best of the Dalmatian islands We missed visiting Hvar (in two hours we could only see the port) and Brac we did not visit it. My opinion is that time was wasted on Mljet and the last day on Omis

Not quite ‘deluxe’ evenings only in port
Overall we’re disappointed with how the itinerary was outlined vs. Actual. Spent 5+ hours at swim stops. Didn’t get into ports until sometimes 5:00. Dubrovnik was after 6pm before got into the town so wall was closed. HVAR was after 7:00pm. So really just have time for dinner. This was not how explained when booked. If want to read a book and swim then this is for you. By no means to get to see Croatia. Also would call the Ship more ‘comfort’ vs ‘deluxe’. However, had we been in port for longer to see things wouldn’t have cared about ship. The staff were great. But very little advice given on ports despite being told via email that ‘cruise director’ would help. Captain laughed when asked about cruise director
