There's something extra special about sharing travel experiences with others. This summer, I organized my first group trip to Croatia, and it exceeded all expectations.

First, we landed in Split for a relaxing stay at the beachfront Le Méridien hotel. Next, we gathered for a private chef's dinner at a hilltop home. Then we boarded The Adriatic King, a pristine luxury yacht, for a 7-night cruise through the Dalmatian Coast.

Cruising allowed us to see the absolute best of Croatia. Every stop, from the bustling, historic streets of Split, Dubrovnik, and Hvar to the quaint islands of Brač, Vis, and Korčula were unique and captivating in their own way. Throughout the week, we enjoyed daily swim stops, wine tastings, private lunches with locals, a family oyster farm and much more.

Whether you are traveling as a couple or a group, there are many ways to explore by boat, with a comfortable price point to fit every budget.
