Amazing trip all round. Cabin size great & boat was lovely. Excursions were really interesting & varied - definitely worth going in. My wife & I are mid 40’s & the age of other passengers varied between 30 - 75. Crew all friendly & couldn’t do enough for you - particularly Bobby & Lucy!

Amazing way to see the beautiful islands & hospitality of Croatia
This was an absolutely fabulous trip. The Arca is a smaller less luxurious boat than others perhaps, but the crew & everything about this trip made this the perfect boat. Wouldn't have wanted to be on any other. Fun activities & everything was well organized. 10 out of 10

The cruise certainly met expectations, we loved the small town ports we stopped at with a good balance of cruise, swim, port time. The sqim stops were certainly a highlight in auch clear clean water. The town of Trogir is an amazing place and a recommnded stop. The family restaurant at Zrnovo had truly amazing home.made food.

Great time had by all
Our trip was great, we loved the family feel of our tour, our cruise manager was well organised, funny and well informed Highlights were the swimming , lovely dinners in towns, the Captains dinner was amazingly fun ! We had two days onboard with very little to do , waiting to dock , one day was 7 hours ! Could have been improved with some transfers to port(Hvar port) but this wasn't offered until after lunch (2hrs prior to docking) , no on board activity aside from captains dinner/swimming The food was acceptable, great breakfast , lunch was hit and miss Lots of pasta . We had several people with dietary requirements and they were always considered ,and given alternatives Overall we had a great time

The smaller island towns are so much more pleasant and authentic than cities of Split and Dubrovnik and Im glad we were able to experience the essence of Croatia on our cruise.

MS Arca - Awesome Adventure
Our time on MS Arca for the 1st time in Croatia was truly an experience that we won’t forget. All the crew were outstanding lead by cruise manager Tomi who’s enthusiasm & passion for the country and his job was inspirational. He went above and beyond to keep all passengers engaged in activities & learning about the culture throughout the 100s of years all the way up to present day. They kept us safe and up to date with all weather changes etc. The variety & quality of food was exceptional. The presentation and taste was some of the best we’ve experienced. The rooms were well maintained and the Arca was kept to a great standard. Hope to return again one day. Cheers Sean & Michelle Martin Australia
