Sailing in Croatia?
Croatia Sailing Adventure: Dubrovnik to Split
Gavin and Christina, NSW, Australia, Aug 2025
Firstly, Tracey did a great job (as usual) booking this trip for us. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed in the trip that Intrepid provided. We visited some wonderful locations during our 8 days, but only sailed for about 4 hours during the whole trip. Had we not prompted the skipper to raise the sails, we would probably have sailed even less. read more There was always an excuse that there wasn’t enough wind, or there was too much wind, or the wind was from the wrong direction. This was even though there were yachts all around us under sail. We could only conclude that it was too much effort to sail the yacht.
We made a complaint to Intrepid, and they have advised that they have updated the notes for the trip to now indicate that it is possible that the skipper will need to use the motor for the entirety of the trip (pending weather conditions and the skipper's direction).

The cruise was very enjoyable. Visited many interesting places. Disappointed we did not get to Anzac Cove due to fires but the alternative visit to Troy was very good. Trip was good value for money. Food was excellent. Bar, restaurant, and cabin staff on the ship were excellent. Hannah Campbell and other staff from Global Journeys were excellent and read more very helpful when answering my queries.

Wonderful Adriatic Cruise
Greece, Turkey & Adriatic
Colin and Cynthia, NSW, Australia, May 2025
11 day Princess cruise from Trieste to Athens highly recommended, would have liked longer. Enjoyed the fine dining experience, entertainment and our shore excursions. Interesting ports of call and loved the colour of the waters in the Adriatic. Beautiful weather in May, sunny and mild plus not too crowded. Have already booked next holiday with Global Journeys.
Relaxed cruise on Adriatic Coast
Adriatic Coastal Cruise
Sam and Jenny, VIC, Australia, Jul 2024
Seven nights of relaxed cruising. Great weather. Only 25 passengers. Good tour director and boat crew. Fabulous small towns to visit each day.
My wife and I have just returned from our cruise on board the Azzurra. For my wife it was her first time on the open seas, and for me, an opportunity to experience small ship cruising with one of our long term cruise line partners. I'm the CEO of of Global Journeys, so I thought I should put in some extra effort and provide you with a thorough review read more of our experience on board and on shore. Our rating gives it away a bit...but it's not all smooth sailing! Read my full review here if you're interested, but if not, then suffice to say, small ship cruising with Emerald will be a new experience for many and we'd both recomend this cruise and the ship to our friends and family.
