"This was my first experience on a small cruise ship and it was wonderful. The staff, especially Nik (our cruise manager), were amazing. The rooms (especially the bathrooms) were bigger than I thought they would be. The food was also good. I enjoyed being able to see all of the different islands without having to move my luggage each day. I also enjoyed not having to worry about planning much during this part of our Croatia vacation."
These 38-person yachts dock in the heart of the action, no shuttle needed to town
Visit Slano's floating oyster farm; taste fresh-caught oysters, mussels and more on a serene lake
Go stand-up paddleboarding or just enjoy a leisurely float in the impossibly clear Adriatic Sea

We were on the Antaris from Split to Dubrovnik. Nika the Cruise manager, Stephan the bartender, and all of the other crew members were fantastic. The food was great. All of the stops that we made were special. All of the couples on the boat become great friends. We have done many cruises and yacht trips. This was the best by far!

We had a wonderful land tour of Northern Croatia. Our driver was fabulous and took such good care of us and got us from place to place. The guides were also awesome! They spoke English, told us about the area and so well versed. I liked the hotels, but some were high on mountains and terrain was difficult to get luggage up after parking. We felt bad for the driver and hotel staff. Meals were good, but one hotel where we stayed two nights only had 2 choices and the same menu was offered again the 2nd night. If you didn’t eat fish, you had the same meal two days in a row. The driver got us to the boat in Split and we’re having a great time!

We sailed on the Ban with 32 passengers. The itinerary was excellent. A typical day: 7A - boat sails; 8A-9:30A - breakfast; 10:30A-12:30P - boat anchors for swimming and paddle boarding; 1P - lunch; 2:30P - excursion on shore lead by tour director or local guide. Dinner on board ship 3 nights. Food (particularly desserts) was very good. Dinner on shore or at venues 4 nights. Our tour director (Sasa) and the rest of the Ban staff were fabulous. The other passengers were loads of fun and we all got on well together. The cabins were comfortable and cleaned daily. I feel fortunate to have paid the voucher price. Even at full price this is a real bargain.

Met and exceeded my expectations. The tour route was excellent. Stopping to swim daily was a highlight. The crew and guide were very attentive to ensure a good experience. Nice combination of structured and free time. Highly recommend small boat touring of Croatia islands, Zantium travel company and in particular, cruising on Suzan’s.

My husband and I were two of 21 persons on a Small ship. Evan, I not sure on the spelling of his name, was PERFECT. The rooms were very accommodating and the rest of the crew were fun, entertaining and enjoyable.
Each spot that we stopped was more beautiful than the last. I would highly recommend this trip for a couple, adult families and even singles. Wonderfully friendly.
