About your trip

Welcome to one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.  From gorgeous coastlines to pristine parks and sleepy atmospheric villages, there are countless places to visit in Croatia and we want to share this well-preserved mediterranean atmosphere with you.  Our home for the week will be aboard The Ave Maria, which is a luxury mega yacht with all the amenities of a hotel!  All cabins have an en suite bathroom, individually controlled AC, TV, safety deposit box, smoke detectors, and a system for hearing announcements.  The boat also has a spacious dining area, bar, outdoor lounge and a sun deck with jacuzzi!


We are taking over every cabin on this mega yacht.  Each room will be double occupancy with either one double bed or two single beds.  

 

This will be a FUN filled trip through a naturist route with some textile opportunities.  We will have daily NUDE swim stops with our very own DJ where you can let your hair down and relax.  We will have guided tours of the various cities so you can learn and see the history of Croatia.  There will also be plenty of free time for you to explore and do things on your own while on the trip.  An all-around great opportunity to swim, dance, sight see, eat some great food and of course socialize and create lasting memories with some wonderful people!


A couple of things to be mindful of:
1. The boat will be our home for the duration of the trip.  Please keep this in mind if you get extremely sea sick.
2. This is a boat.  If you’ve ever been on a cruise, you know the rooms are small.  You must be comfortable sharing a space with others as there are no single occupancy rooms available.
3. Croatia is a very walkable country, but it is old and there are a lot of cobblestone streets and walkways.  You should have a medium level of fitness and mobility for the trip.  This trip is not geared towards those with mobility issues.
4. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated however there may be some excursions/group activities that are not vegan/vegetarian friendly.
5. Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day along with three dinners.  There will be four nights where dinner is on your own.  
6. Alcohol/drinks are NOT all inclusive on this trip.  Each person will have a beverage/alcohol stipend for the trip.  Anything above and beyond that is at the cost of each person and alcohol is not permitted to be brought onboard.  


There will be more information released as we get closer to the actual trip including finalized itinerary and a packing list to help with knowing what to bring.
