Comfortable boat but I feel we were not given enough time on some of the islands to explore and some of the swim stops were too long. The time would have been better spent exploring the islands.

Discovering the islands and what they had to offer.

The food was great and the boat was very comfortable with multiple areas to relax. Island stops were great but I would have liked to spend more time on some of the islands.

Friendly, comfortable little cruise ship.

Captain Zvone and his crew looked after us extremely well, working hard to keep the ship clean and providing us with excellent meals. Splendid is not the biggest, or most glamorous of the Croatian coastal cruise ships but because of that there was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere amongst the crew and guests.

Enjoyable but not as enjoyable as expected.

The scenery, the stops ashore and the sun deck were all great and boat very comfortable and clean. Overall a really nice experience but food was most disappointing...it did improve after the first chef walked out....but still a bit too like institutional food for our liking! Drinks on board were a bit pricey and due to windy weather conditions we missed a few swim stops. Bar and waiting staff were very good. Croatia is very beautuful...a good way to get a taste for the country and its gorgeous islands. We have been several times before ...the big difference for us this time was the cost of food and entertainment. Many of the places visited were chic and upmarket but even so...it was still expensive even off the beaten track. We will come back but would not do a cruise again.
