8 Days - Yacht Cruises

Imagine yourself reclining under a deep azure sky, as the polished teak deck moves almost imperceptibly with the rhythm of the Mediterranean and a refreshing evening breeze ruffles the air. In the small, picturesque ports on the Dalmatian coast, surrounded by low cliffs, where the cruise liners boasting ever-larger passenger numbers are conspicuous by their absence, you are cruising the Mediterranean aboard your very own yacht-cruiser. Normally the preserve of the wealthy, you can now experience a magnificent vessel carrying less than 40 guests. Smaller numbers means a more personal service, but even more importantly you call at stunningly attractive out of the way ports like Split, Korcula and Hvar, which offer a much more intimate onshore experience. MS Adriatic Sun often sails between the islands and the shore, affording spectacular views and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime. With so few fellow travellers a ‘select’ atmosphere soon prevails as you gather in the convivial surroundings of the bar or up on the sun deck for a nightcap. The friendly, attentive yet unobtrusive staff attend to your every need as if you owned the vessel yourself – that’s how relaxed it is on this unique type of cruise. Enjoy spectacular coastal views whilst reclining on a sun lounger or hammock on the ample Sun Deck. Below you will find the Salon Deck with the elegant restaurant and bar, beautifully furnished and fully airconditioned for your comfort. Each day begins with an excellent breakfast on board with a selection of hot and cold options.  On certain days lunch or dinner is prepared on board, specialising in mouth-watering local menus, hot meat or fish dishes through to freshly prepared salads, all delivered with a beaming smile. No cruise is complete without the Captain’s Dinner of course and you will enjoy a delicious selection of the best of Croatian and Mediterranean cuisine. If you wish you can dine al fresco on the shaded decks. There is no ‘seating plan’; you choose your own table and dining companions. On certain days you will be free to enjoy lunch or dinner at leisure giving you the opportunity to sample some of the delightful local restaurants ashore. Every evening the ships remain moored so you can take an after dinner stroll off the vessel, exploring these fascinating unspoilt ports. After just a few days of this extraordinary experience you will be on first-name terms with the ship’s company and most of your fellow guests. There is little formality – shorts and t-shirts are the order of the day. This is exactly how holidays should be!
