cruise croatia like royalty

Step aboard your private yacht and experience Croatia the way it was meant to be seen—intimate, effortless, and unforgettable.

In July 2028, join an exclusive 7-night journey along the stunning Dalmatian Coast aboard the elegant M/S Lastavica.

With just 18 staterooms and 36 guests, this is not your typical cruise—it’s your own floating boutique hotel.

Spend your days sailing the Adriatic, swimming in crystal-clear coves, and enjoying gourmet meals onboard. Each evening, dock directly in the heart of charming coastal towns, where you’re free to explore local cuisine, culture, and nightlife at your own pace.

No crowds. No stress. Just a curated group, exceptional service, and one incredible destination.
