Wonderful from beginning to end
Sitting beneath the stars with the illuminated church in Magarska behind me whilst I was eating ice cream and watching a performance of Klapa singers - a magical memory. The absolute beauty of Korcula with its waterfront areas and the 'fishbone'' streets running off the main street, it's designed for exploring. Both of these are places I never knew of but which I would love to return to.

Croatia Ahoy! Happy Days Afloat.
The chance to experience a variety of places in Croatia by sea rather than on busy roads. Swim stops. The crew were friendly and relaxed but also professional at all times which I think was instrumental in creating a happy and friendly relationship among the other guests on board. Everyone got on.

Trip of a lifetime
The highlight of the trip was definitely the crew who were always ready and happy to help even though it was the last trip of the season and they must have been tired by then. Big shout out to Ivan who helped me off board at 5am while everyone was asleep and never seemed to stop. The places we anchored to swim and the ports we moored were just so breathtaking. Our tour manager Stan was a lot of fun and very knowledgable. There are only 20 or so guests onboard and we all had a lot of fun together even catching up for dinners off the boat. I was a lone traveller but was always in great company. This trip exceeded my expectations and I hope to be able to do it again.

Unforgettable cruise around the islands.
There were 22 guests from Canada, 5 from Australia, 4 of us from the UK and 2 from South Africa. We just all got on so well it made the cruise very memorable. We were not sure what to expect but we had an amazing week. Makarska, Hvar and Brad were our favourite as well as Split which is beautiful and so much history.

We had a phantastic Dalmatian-Paradise-trip on the Ave Maria
The food and the drinks were excellent, the daily swim stops a highlight especially for the kids (but also us adults), and the overnight stops in the beautiful towns well planned. The other travellers on board were also nice, and even our kids (14 and 18 years old) had other kids of similar age to talk to.
Recommended for
Difficult to mention only three best things - this trip was perfect. But here three things: 1) The Ave Maria is a luxury vessel, 2) the chef indeed knows how to cook, and crew was always friendly. 3) As we travelled during corona-times there were not that many other tourists in the ports, and the cruise was very good value for money.

Kiwis in Croatia Bike and Boat
The trip was unreal. Each place we visited was incredibly beautiful but different. The bikes comfortable and well maintained. The highlight was the boat “Leonardo” the crew, the connections with other travellers. We left the boat with amazing memories of landscapes, food and the Croatian people so welcoming. Best place ever.

Highly recommend
Just loved it & I would highly recommend it. I think we were lucky to choose away from peak times as we didn't have a full ship, the waters a little colder but still pleasurable. People on board terrific, I mean why would you go away unless you're open to anything! Itinerary perfect & food catered to my needs as a pescatarian, the only thing I'd fault is the lack of variety of wines.

Something different
Arriving at the dock, I found many boats, and no clear indication as to how I would find mine. A guy in a Katerina T shirt helped me to find it, and it was right there on the quay. The boats are moored one after the other, so we are obliged to pass through one boat to find another. I was just happy that my boat was the first one. My luggage was taken on board and I was offered a nice cocktail as a welcome drink with other passengers, and we began to chat and introduce ourselves, so we were soon set for the voyage. Once we were all aboard, we were allocated cabins, and our luggage was taken there for us. Every morning a bell would ring to indicate breakfast, and again at lunch time, otherwise we would occupy ourselves on the different decks and look forward to swimming stops and then the port for the night, where we would disembark to find a restaurant to eat. Many different Nationalities were on board, but generally, most people had some English. Friendships were formed and people would leave in groups to explore and look for a restaurant. Our guide left notices about tours on offer at each port, and also the menu for the day. She would offer advice and often spoke at lunch time to introduce us to the next port of call. There was also a video screen with details to follow. Our jolly cook provided a good selection of dishes, and even made cakes for the odd birthday and anniversary celebration. The bar was run by a really hard-working young lady who was always there to help, from six in the morning to revive us with a cup of tea, until we retired for bed with a happy night cap. Our tour was in Croatia, but I understand tours can be had in other destinations. It is a good idea for a holiday, where you have good scenery, variety of destinations, and can join in or not as the mood takes you.

Small group setting was amazing and we were able to meet amazing people. It was so nice to unpack once and be able to visit all the islands. The crew was so friendly and a special thanks to our captain who was able to avoid bad weather by changing our route. We still saw all the islands but missed most of the wind and rain.

Excellent
Getting to see so much of the beauty of Croatia in such a short space of time. The boat traveled from Dubrovnik to Split and we stopped in Dubrovnik, Slano, Mijet, Korčula, Vis, Hvar and Split overnight. I loved being able to relax on board the boat and be transported to each destination with the luxury of having breakfast & three course lunches included. My trip also included guided tours on the islands, wine tasting, oyster tasting, olive oil tasting, a welcome dinner, captains dinner with entertainment among more. I was traveling solo so it was lovely to have these group activities included and I left Croatia after meeting new found friends. We had a very nice group on board the Aurelia and a very interesting tour guide who was passionate about Croatia and taught us so much about the country’s historical past. I enjoyed exploring each island in the free time we had there also & I loved the top deck of the boat with jacuzzi and deck chairs to relax on as the boat traveled to the islands. It was extremely relaxing and for someone who is used to planning their own trips and itineraries it was just wonderful to sit back and relax and see and do so much without the stress of all the organising. I found a company that did not charge me a solo supplement for my cabin so this was an added plus. The trip was better than I expected abs would definitely recommend.

Greater value than a large cruise line
Highlights were the swimming stops before docking at our ports of call and the fun of cruising on a mid-size ship as opposed to a large cruise line. Easily getting on and off the ship was so convenient. With the large cruise lines, you could walk for a long time just to exit. The rooms were also very large compared to the same amount spent on a huge cruise line. Plus the smaller ship can reach some very small marinas, making them accessible.
