Explore Croatia and Beyond by Land and Sea

Visiting Europe is an unforgettable experience sure to create lasting memories for family travelers. The question is, what’s the best way to see it? There are plenty of tour options available to take you around Europe, and plenty of cruises let you enjoy a glimpse of a variety of destinations by popping in and out of as many different ports as possible, but with Always Croatia, families can enjoy some of Europe’s most beautiful and iconic places with an immersive experience that gives you the time you deserve — both on land and at sea.

The company offers a variety of cruises and a range of land tours featuring destinations throughout Europe, but its Land and Sea cruise packages give you the best of both worlds. While each itinerary heavily features Croatia, they also include several of the surrounding countries, so you get to experience as much of Europe at one time as possible. You can cruise to Slovenia, Montenegro and Bosnia, along with ultra-popular tourist destinations like Greece and Italy. The company was founded by a team of Croatian Americans who love their ancestral homeland and want to share its culture, history and beauty with the world, so each seven- to 12-day Land and Sea cruise places a strong value on cultural immersion. Shore visits are thoughtfully curated to include visits to places like traditional, family-run homesteads that teach you about the history, culture and cuisine of the destinations and people who live there.

What makes Always Croatia special is not just the cruise line’s commitment to sharing the local culture, but also the luxury of a small-ship experience. This cruising style is perfect for families wanting to get the most enjoyment from the experience rather than get caught up in the overstimulation of a large-ship cruise. And the “land and sea” approach allows families to have a more in-depth experience at the ports — with an itinerary created by a team so vested in sharing their culture, you get to spend more time exploring and enjoying the places you visit rather than rushing through an experience so you can say you’ve “been there, done that” before hurrying back to the boat before it departs for the next port. The inclusion of countries beyond Croatia allows you to add diversity to your vacation so you can make the most out of your trip to Europe.

No matter what itinerary you choose, you’ll get the benefit of customized service from a team dedicated to treating each guest like a V.I.P. so you can focus on relaxing and having fun together as a family.
