Desire exceeded expectation
First time on a live aboard and will NEVER go on another large, commercialized cruise ship again. Live aboard is the best way to go if you want the destination to be the star of the show. Getting into the smaller islands in comfort and ease is great. The bonus of the activities and tours was unexpected and we chose to go on 75% of them

I fell in love with Croatia!
I was surprised how much we got for what we paid. We loved learning about Croatia and seeing the UNESCO protected sites and how there was still plenty of leisure time to join in the fun with the boat or go do something on our own. Very flexible and a nice balance.

Fabulous and educational trip
This was one of my favorite vacations. Goran, our cruise manager, was knowledgeable and kind. He made sure every passenger’s journey was safe and enjoyable. The captain was obviously well experienced and made the journey smooth. All of the crew, from Tode to Docian to Tanya were exceptional. I don’t remember the cooks name, but he should be commended for par excellence food and accommodating special request. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone. Please share with the staff. Thanks again for a memorable trip! Laurie Stuart

Amazing trip!
The sights and daily swim stops where all excellent. Time allowed on our own was great to explore a little bit more of the islands. The staff and food were excellent as well, Nikola, our guide was amazing and so much fun. He really knows the history of the area and was able to make the trip enjoyable. Well worth the money.

Great way to experience the Adriatic in style

We had an excellent experience on our Croatian cruise.
Our cruise manager was incredibly knowledgable and he did an excellent job setting us up with interesting tours and fun activities. The chef on our ship was amazing. Our favorite activities on the cruise were probably visiting Mljet National Park and Kirka National Park. We also really enjoyed visiting the cities of Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Korčula.

- The three best things about our cruise were: 1) The name of the ship we were on was the Desire. It was clean and updated and our room was comfortable. 2) The crew was very friendly and the chef was incredible. 3) We loved the format of the cruise. We were able to spend enough time in each port to explore the town we were in and get dinner or go out for drinks.
