In eastern Croatia lies the charming city of Vukovar, Croatia's largest river port situated at the confluence of the Vuka and the Danube Rivers. You will see monuments to Croatia's struggle for independence, like Ovcara Memorial & Cemetery, on the Yugoslav Civil War, or take a wine-tasting excursion to Ilok. Then, depart for Serbia's historic Novi Sad, where you'll see the dauntless and impenetrable Petrovaradin Fortress. Vukovar is visited on cruises of the lower (eastern) Danube River and some of our longest river cruises like the journey from Prague to Bucharest over 22 days!

We loved the experience of travelling on a small boat with 28 other passengers. The itinerary was excellent, usually including two stops per day at different Croatian islands and only 2-3 hours of sailing. Each of the stops were beautiful; the islands were all unique and memorable and no two stops were the same.

Amazing assistance! Kevin and his team were so helpful and really gave us great advice. They quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and within a matter of days we had booked our holiday of a lifetime. I would definitely recommend to others.

I was on a trip to the UK while arranging another trip for next year. Was able to work with email and a short call to secure our spot on a tall ship cruise. Good company to work with so far.

I think it was very helpful that Franny and I spoke on the phone. I think she had a better idea of what we were looking for, and she planned a great itinerary for us!
