Cruising the Croatian coastline from Split to Dubrovnik was a beautiful experience and it turns out, itâs far more than just island hopping!
âMini Cruisersâ are a luxury cruising yacht style specific to Croatia. We sailed as guests of Via Croatia on the brand newly refurbished 45m âArethaâ which caters to 30 guests in 15 cabins & suites.
She has plenty of water toys to enjoy including Jetski, SUPS, kayaks, water skis, sea pool and more. Thereâs also a gym and small cinema plus great outdoor sitting spaces.
With a super spacious cabin complete with a deck spa, we were treated to fabulous onboard dining, entertaining and knowledgeable hosts, premium port docking and curated island tours including olive oil and wine tasting ventures.
The itinerary had us gently cruising along crystal clear waters with daily stops & overnight port stays to visit historical & vibrant villages. We were warmly welcomed by the proud locals, enjoyed ample choice of delicious food, arty shopping, national parks, a fascinating history and explored ancient remains. And of course, cooled off with stops to swim, splash and refresh on route and in port.
Charters available on varying sized yachts throughout the summer months, so gather a group of family &/or friends and get on board!

The Phoenicia Malta is an absolute gem. The only Leading Hotel of the World in Malta and located at the doorstep of the beautiful city of Valletta allowing you to meander in and out of the vibrant city by day and night with ease. The rooms are spacious and bright, the dining impeccable, the dĂŠcor a mesmerising step back in time, and what makes this iconic 1920s-style elegant hotel overlooking the Marsamxett Harbour, is its staff. I wish I could have stayed in Malta longer and lingered in this exquisite hotel longer.
