"Thank you so much for making the cruise for Carol and I so wonderful. Your kindness, helpfulness and vast knowledge made it a memorable experience for us especially as it was our first cruise and we didn't know quite what to expect.

It was also made pleasant by having such kind and friendly passengers with us. I must also mention the crew who were also excellent and very patient and helpful in all respects.


We thought Croatia, especially the islands we saw were very beautiful and I am sure we will visit again in the future.  We wish you well in your future trips and a very long and happy life. Best wishes!"

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for lovely feedback on our Dalmatinac crew!

"Dear Drazenka,
please let me shortly reflect our trip on your nice ship Dalmatinac.
First of all, we had the best crew we can think to have. Service were perfect and the cook is excellent. From our point of view you can rename this event into Boot, bike and eat!
Mio was challenging us a little bit but take care of everybody, a nice guy, always with a good humor. We gave Suzanne a very good feedback and think we will do the same trip next years again!
We also meet nice other passengers, evereything was relaxed so that we all chiled out and had the best combination of activity and quiet."
