Food and drinks onboard
We are aware that the food makes or breaks a vacation… Croatia’s food is fresh, local, and delicious, and so are the dishes onboard. Before departure, we listen to the guests’ culinary preferences and work with the onboard chef, so he/she can design a menu specifically for them. Whether you are vegan or a meat lover, we got you covered.
Most of the meals are paired with local wine, but if you fancy something else, the crew will be happy to assist you.
The crew onboard
The crew onboard plays a crucial role, so it is very important that they are trained, experienced and most of all, friendly. The number of crew members depends on the size and type of vessel.
