Fantastic sites visited. Great guides. Great ship and staff. Too many meals on board (while in port). Trip to Herceg Novi on Split to Dubrovnik run not worth the time and effort - stay in Dubrovnik another day. Not enough time under sail versus motoring - but this could be weather driven/time issue on my trip. Anticipate group size more toward max capacity than less.

This is an exciting trip in a gorgeous part of the world. The boat experience and lectures were very positive and nicely balanced with tours and field trips on land.

Linda from Los Angeles Croatia is an absolute jewel. Croatians love their country and their history! Learned so much from Alen our leader! Great trip. Chemistry among the group was superb! This greatly enhanced our experience. I think that the participants also taught each other a lot! The tour guides that met us on various island and cities were great! Leah and Carmen especially! Crew on the Barbara: Shoutout to Heidi and Marco and the Captain: wonderful!

Breath taking landscape, beautiful historic and well preserved towns by the sea, wonderful food and incredible people who have as their main aim the pursue of your happiness. What else can you ask for. The addition of a well organized tour lead by Alan Staresina who added to the experience the knowledge and the passion to share the treasures of his country. I particularly loved the lectures given by local university professors which vary from experts on olive oil to experts on the fauna going through old and modern history. I enjoyed every local guide we had particularly in Hvar and Korcula. In regards to the ship I believe ours was the most beautiful and well kept ship of its kind in the area. The crew was excellent, service superb and food fantastic (local cuisine) and plenty. In essence if was a incredible successful and wonderful trip toped by the interaction with wonderful and interesting people we had the pleasure to share it with.

The MJ BARBARA is a great ship with a top notch
crew and a fantastic captain,seven days is to
short.

A dream holiday. (We started with a couple days in Dubrovnik, in an apartment in the Old Town, which we recommend.) MSY Barbara seemed just the right size for the islands and harbours, everything worked, and Captain Ante and his crew knew and did their jobs well. Guide Alan Staresina knew the region and its history as well as how to work well with everyone in our senior group.

What a beautiful trip...!! This is an A++ adventure for people who enjoy a combination of beautiful scenery, friendly people, tours of cultural and historic landmarks,
and pure relaxation on the motorized yacht...including sunbathing, swimming in the sea, delicious meals and delightful conversations with the new friends you will meet. The Dalmation Coast is truly spectacular and the islands you will visit are each more charming than the last. This is definitely a trip worth taking!!

The perfect blend of itinerary, accommodations, a wonderful group leader, expert guides, weather and participants, made this trip a most enjoyable experience. Sailing on M/S Barbara was such a treat! Captain and crew most caring and attentive, the food "great"! I'm from Europe, familiar w/many countries, Croatia is a jewel. So much to see, and if you are an ice cream lover, you will be in paradise !! Just do it !!
