All of these things are taken care of. Unlike a vacation where you rent a room in a hotel<\/strong>, or you book an apartment.<\/strong> You will mostly be bound by the location you are in. It takes some effort to organize transfers, excursions and everything else, and this logistics part can be a nuisance to some people.<\/p>\n All inclusive cruise<\/strong> programs make everything much easier. Accommodation, transfers, excursions, swimming, sunbathing as well as meals are all included in the price on this small moving hotel. Your only concern is to have a quality camera and a charger on hand in case your battery gets dangerously low. As you never know when an opportunity for an epic photo will present itself.<\/p>\n You can always cruise<\/strong> on a giant floating hotel among thousands of other guests. But I believe small cruise ships<\/strong> offer much more, and here is why. First and foremost small cruise ships will have a length of approximately 30-45 meters (between 100 and 130 feet) and will be able to accommodate groups of up to 40 persons<\/strong>. Since the number of passengers is significantly lower, you can really get to know the crew and other passengers. As the more intimate ambiance created the ship will resemble a larger family\ud83d\ude0a.<\/p>\n Cruises of this type are flexible in terms of duration<\/strong> as well so you can book a cruise for a period ranging from 3 days to 15 days<\/strong> depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n Moreover, small cruise ships can access hidden coves and bays that larger ships simply can not. So you will get to see spectacular wonders of nature without worrying about crowds standing in your way. Access to certain ports in smaller locations in Croatia is limited to bigger ships. As large cruise ships can only dock in bigger ports. For this reason towns of Kor\u010dula<\/strong>, Hvar,<\/strong> Bol<\/strong> and many other pearls of the Adriatic may remain a mystery to you if you opt for a large cruise ship. Another thing to note is that the crew on small ships is mostly local and very experienced. So they can often surprise you with some hidden gems that would have otherwise remained unknown.<\/p>\n When you have the type of ship chosen, then you have to decide which category to opt for, I advise luxury ships<\/strong> due to a number of considerable advantages. Firstly, the worst cabin on a luxury ship<\/strong> is by far superior<\/strong> to a cabin on a middle range ship. The cabins are in general significantly bigger, much better furnished, with over 20 square meters in surface, and they frequently come with a balcony.<\/p>\n We all want to be pampered, and a deluxe cruise<\/strong> has that in spades. First there are the meals, there is some truly fine dining on luxury ships. The service type is either half board<\/strong> or full board<\/strong> and there is a great flexibility in terms of food to choose from. It matters not if you prefer meat or fish or if you are a vegetarian or vegan or if you have any food allergies or intolerance everything will be adapted to your needs.<\/p>\n Apart from the above, there are a bunch of additional services that you will have if a luxury ship is chosen like private transfers, welcome dinners, cocktails, captain’s dinners with live music, numerous guided tour<\/a>, often in multiple languages, Wine tastings, Oyster tastings, complimentary fruit, water, tee and coffe, all taxes and port fees and that is just a tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n There are 718 islands, 389 islets and 78 reefs in Croatia<\/a> making it the second – largest Archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea<\/strong> (after the Greek Archipelago), but it is not just about the quantity there is some serious quality here. Croatian islands have been inhabited since Ancient Greeks settled in Traugurium, Issa and Pharos (Trogir, Vis and Hvar respectably), followed by the Romans and all the way until today there is so much history in Croatia that you will simply be mind blown.<\/p>\n If you are not much of a history aficionado and all of those monuments and ruins are only a bunch of old rocks to you, then fear not! The natural beauties of Croatia are second to none, from National Parks Plitivice, Kornati<\/strong> or Krka<\/strong> to name a few to a myriad of breathtaking sand and gravel beaches like Zlatni Rat in Bol<\/strong>, the variety is truly amazing.<\/p>\n You are set on booking a small luxury cruise ship in Croatia, but there is still the where, and with whom to book. Luckily, there are some really professional and reliable agencies in Croatia with seasoned professionals who do know how to tackle this questions with ease.
