Guest Info
The experience
Celebrating the ultimate European Summer holiday, we have booked a large motor yacht to sail along the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. MS New Star is equipped for 39 people with ensuite cabins for 2. Onboard you will find 6 experienced crew to look after your every need, a large dining and bar space where daily buffet breakfasts and 3-course lunches are served, a lower sitting deck and upper sun deck fit with a jacuzzi to relax and take in the stunning scenery that awaits us.
On the top deck, a professional DJ deck and sound system are installed to bring the vibes all day long, alongside our board DJs we encourage everyone to embrace the experience and partake in a 1 hour DJ set of their own, where no genre is off limits. Each day we will anchor together for a swim stop to jump into the crystal clear waters before pulling up to a new island to explore and enjoy the afternoon and night. All beer and wine are included on the trip so sit back with a drink in hand and let us show you why this beautiful country is so special.
The Adventure
After last year's Warm Days cruise to Croatia, it would be a crime not to do it again! We'll be going the other direction this year, departing from Split and arriving in Dubrovnik, exploring new island destinations, whilst keeping the crowd pleasing all time favs!
Saturday
Split is an incredible, lively city, rich in history and much larger than some of the smaller islands to come on our trip. With so much to see and do we recommend getting in a day or two early to enjoy all the city has to offer.
RECOMMENDATIONS:

- Shops, boutiques and local markets

All aboard! Meet at the dock (check back for an update with the exact location) & check into our floating home for the next week! Look out for MS New Star. We suggest unpacking and getting bulky cases out of the way. You will be allocated to your assigned suite. Grab a drink and get social - you will be very well acquainted (if you aren't already) with this rowdy bunch by the end of the week. The cruise manager will give the group a rundown, before our 1st swim stop.
