But only for wacaday buck eejits, you won’t catch me tipping on a rip off cruise.
During the day dress code is casual but for dinner and eating on land smart evening wear is recommended. Carry some jackets for possible cooler climes.

Swimming opportunities
Depending on the season and weather, there will be several stops in peaceful bays where the vessel will be anchored. Guests will have a chance to swim off the back of the boat or off the beach as these will be easily accessible by foot. Enjoy sailing the Adriatic and swimming in its clear waters.
Embrace the islands
One of the main reasons why Croatia is popular with holidaymakers is the great Island-hopping sailing trips on offer. While there are the two principal citeisy of Split and Dubrovnik which garner a lot of limelight, the true charm of Croatia is found in the islands.
One of the most stunning of all is undoubtedly Mljet and the two saltwater lakes on it. A tiny monastery in the centre of the larger lake is a major attraction and can be reached by a short boat ride. For history lovers, the island of Korcula is a must. Here the Old Town and Cathedral of St Mark are the highlights.
A cruise for all durations
The most popular cruise is the seven day Split- Split return cruise which covers Split, Stari Grad, Hvar, Mljet, Dubrovnik, Korcula, and Makarska before returning to Split. If you book on selected dates of 2021 you can get a 20% discount as well.
For those who are short of time, can opt for three or four day mini trip, with set departure in 2021 and usually runs from Split to Dubrovnik only covering the same spots as the longer cruise. Inclusions on each cruise include meals, swim stops, welcome reception,free WiFi and orientation walks.
