The Small Cruise Ship Collection

I went on the cycle cruise in Croatia from Split to the islands in the Majestic. The whole experience was excellent and many thanks to Powell and Caroline for their attention to detail in the planning of this cruise.

Many, many thanks to The Small Cruise Ship Collection Team for an excellent trip around the islands of Croatia this summer! The team recommended a good selection of locations, routes and dates to meet our needs and interests, putting a 110% into ensuring we were taken care of and found the right trip for us. Aboard, the crew were attentive, professional and had local knowledge of the different towns and islands we stopped off, such as the best local guides, the history and culture, top local restaurants for the evenings and cafes for the afternoons, the best diving/swimming spots and the best hikes and local excursions - put simply, all the best this stunning country has to offer. The ship was great - comfortable, modern and the 28 passengers got on very well, all bringing their own great mix life experiences and view points and added their own spice to the trip. We remain in touch several month later from every corner of the globe. Finally, I have to say that the itinerary was perfectly designed to ensure we got the most from every day and weren't caught in any tourist queues for the popular sights. We can't wait to go again and would recommend it to others any day! Highlights from this trip for my grandmother and I: - Swimming around the Adriatic - off the back of the ship along the coasts and swimming in the lakes on the islands - particularly off the in-land island of St Mary's which only really has room for a white-walled monastery persevered from the 12th century all situated in a lake and forests in Mljet - Exploring Vis - great, largely undiscovered by tourists, had a fascinating history that a group of us explored by jeep with a local tour and an incredible regenerated restaurant/bar in the hills called Fort George looking out over the bay and nearby islands with amazing panoramic views - we'd definitely recommend being there for sunset! - The Blue Sea Caves - I've never seen anything like this before and it felt absolutely magical. We had an early start to avoid the tourist rush and went exploring the coast line and hidden caves in little motor boats - The Captain's Dinner - it was great fun and set a friendly, relaxed group feeling amongst those on board that reflected the tone of the whole trip. As with every meal hosted onboard, the food was plentiful, local and v. tasty with plenty of local wines to sample!
