Perfectly preserved
Croatia is one of the best ecologically preserved parts of Europe. As such, we suggest you visit the land’s multiple museums, galleries, churches and more of its truly rare European landscape—which contains as many as eight national parks in close-quarters. Indulge in local cuisine (freshly caught fish, pasta, olives and the juiciest tomatoes) and further discover the land that was once a playground to Roman Emperors. Croatia looks and feels like a fairy tale. Only here, no damsel needs rescuing.

Feature Hotels
Andjeo, Split
Our unique accommodations for the week are aboard the luxurious four-cabin gulet, the Andjeo. Flying under the Croatian flag, this all-wooden vessel is nimble enough to venture into those coves and ports that other larger cruise ships are unable to access. Guests can take in the magnificent scenery while enjoying the full comfort and the attentive service of the four-person crew.
Vestibul Palace, Split
Well situated, this hotel was created from three separate palaces spanning three different eras. However, in present-day Croatian style, the property has an ultra-modern feel and boasts all the amenities you would expect. View hotel website »
