This was a great trip. Talk about under promise and over deliver! The food was great. The people were wonderful. The places we went were perfect. The guide for the trip, Gordan, was exceptional.

By Richard F for Catholic Cruise Croatia on Nov 01, 2022

I would do Catholic Cruise Croatia again and again. The country is beautiful. The tours were excellent and local guides were very knowledgeable The ship and its crew were absolutely great. The food, both on board and on land, was wonderful. Gordon is top notch and very thorough and very thoughtful. The only problem I had was swimming off the ship in the Adriatic in mid-October -- the water was quite cold although some fellow passengers splashed and dove and swam around gleefully like porpoises -- otherwise, even the weather was perfect.
