WHAT A BEAUTY!

“After our trip on ALBA, we consider Croatia to be the most beautiful place we have ever sailed.”

Fabulous ALBA Crew

Her crew were excellent;  friendly, knowledgeable and very professional.  Captain Mirko set up a fantastic itinerary for us, and it seemed like every place we went to was more spectacular than the last. He was ably helped by the delightful Kiku, who was charming and always ready to lend a hand when needed. I don’t think I ever saw a frown on his face!  Our hostess, Katerina, charmed us all with her infectious giggle!  Samir, our chef, was an absolute genius in the kitchen.  Suffice it to say that altars should be set up to worship his dishes. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

ALBA Interior

Everybody loved their cabins.  Beautiful & comfortable!

On to Croatia itself.  We loved it!

Crystal Clear Adriatic

Clear blue water, fabulous little swimming holes, and friendly people.  Captain Mirko took us to so many beautiful spots. A bay with a hike to a monastery hidden in the hills, a spot with an agri-turismo restaurant where everything they served was grown or bred there.  We would set off after breakfast, stop at a fabulous swimming place and then move on to wherever we were going to dock or anchor for the night. We saw so much!  There is a fabulous Spanish fort that takes a bit of a climb from the town, but there is a bar inside where we stopped for a celebratory bottle of champagne!

Thank you so much for organizing such a wonderful trip!
