My experience on Katarina's Aurelia was… delightful. My experience on Katarina's Aurelia was wonderful. The Aurelia is a beautiful ship and our trip was very comfortable and well managed. Our group of passengers was, for the most part, a cohesive and lively one which was tremendously appreciated, as this might not have been the case. The crew were all just great. Jossep and Robert are lovely guys and took very good care of us. Kudos to Mira for her delivery of daily information about stops, changes to our schedule, local history as well as the strengths of the Croatian people in their efforts to service the tourist population that has been expanding. Croatia is handling this growth very well. Croatia is a gorgeous country, every aspect of it. The people are lovely overall. The food was clean and fresh. We were lucky to have clear skies and warmish seas to swim in. Early October was fine in this respect and I think most of the seasonal crowds had gone. I will say that our "itinerary", as presented by Always Croatia, was not .... how can I say? Consistant? Reliable? Available? It was unclear as we approached our sailing date what our itinerary was, because it had seemed to disappear. It was not on their website anymore. This seemed to affect most those passengers who had booked specifics, like "wine tours". My cruise experience was not affected but some disgruntled energies were felt onboard. My experience overall was affected by some lack of communication in the area of "transfers", before the trip. Fortunately the transfer was accomplished and the cruise experience was lovely.

Always Croatia Perfect balance of guided tour time and free time. Excellent communication of what to expect, helpful tips for dinners, and places to shop or avoid. Amazing authentic dinners and lunches at local families homes and winery. We had an amazing time!! Darko, our cruise director, was amazing! He was so knowledge and fun!

What an amazing trip! What an amazing trip!! Croatia is such a beautiful country and Always Croatia was the perfect way to see it. Christy was fabulous in how she worked with us getting everything set up ahead of time and Zoran was the BEST cruise director! We felt ever port offered wonderful experiences. We never felt like we’d rather be doing something else. Weather got in the way of our itinerary a bit but the crew did a great job adjusting to that. The whole trip was a great balance in organized activities and your own free time. I’ve already recommended Always Croatia to a couple friends asking about vacationing in there now! Highly recommend 10 out of 10.

Always Croatia is the ONLY way to go to see Croatia! I've traveled the world & been to 60+ Countries & The trip to Croatia with Always Croatia went well beyond our expectations! It turned out to be one of our best trips ever! The ship was Awesome & Nina the cruise director was amazing & the Crew was great too! I would recommend Always Croatian to anyone interested in the islands of Croatia.

Wonderful experience from the initial… Wonderful experience from the initial planning to the actual trip! Everything was clear and detailed as far as the booking. Everyone we worked with from the planner, to the cruise director, to the captain and the cook was top notch. We loved our trip and would go back again and again. It was filled with truly unique and authentic experiences we never could have booked on our on.
