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.
