comfort of the Royal Eleganza, covering the coast and rivers of Croatia, and mooring in the immediate vicinity of town centres. The itinerary takes us to a range of scenic delights – the Zrmanja Gorge, the world-famous Islands, plus the dramatic waterfalls of Krka. Although little known abroad, the river has a charm of its own. The islands of Hvar and Korcula, with their marble streets and impressive architecture, are truly delightful. We also visit the historic towns of Zadar, Sibenik, Split and Dubrovnik, with their history dating back through the Middle Ages to the Roman Era.

Our View “If comfort and a relaxed atmosphere are at the top of your priorities, the Royal Eleganza is the perfect choice of vessel to cruise the Croatian coast. With just 32 like-minded passengers, the mood is intimate, and what better way to enjoy the views of magnificent islands and cities, than sitting on the sun deck watching the world pass slowly by. The dining onboard is a special experience with fresh fish featuring regularly on the menu, but a real treat is the chance to dine ashore. Croatia’s culinary delights are not to be missed.
