Creator's Key Takeaways

This was the second swim stop of this cruise and it's already becoming a real highlight.

The captain's dinner is held in the main lounge dining area.

The captain then did an impromptu karaoke session. He did where he sang My Way by Frank Son Archer.

We really enjoyed today. The swim stop was fantastic exploring this beautiful port and enjoying the captain's dinner.

Bring water shoes or flip-flops for beaches made of little stones.
Carry enough euros for cash-only establishments on the ship.

YouTube Video Description

Our Riviera Travel Dubrovnik & Southern Croatia yacht cruise brought one of the most memorable experiences of the entire trip — the Captain’s Dinner, swim stops in crystal-clear Adriatic waters, and exploring the beautiful island of Brač. We started the morning sailing along the Croatian coastline before stopping in a secluded bay for another incredible swim stop. These moments are quickly becoming a highlight of small ship cruising, with the freedom to jump straight from the yacht into the sea. Later, we arrived in the charming stone town of Pučišća on the island of Brač, where we explored the harbour, visited local bars, and experienced how affordable Croatia can be. In the evening, we attended the Captain’s Dinner onboard MV Corona (now MV Felicita), where the captain joined guests at their tables throughout the meal. This unique experience included local Croatian food, drinks, and even unexpected entertainment. This is small ship cruising at its most personal — something very different from large cruise ships. If you’re considering a Riviera Travel yacht cruise in Croatia, this video shows exactly what you can expect. MV Corona (Now MV Felicita) Riviera Travel Yacht Tour - https://youtu.be/NidjxzWucMU Book your next Riviera Travel Adventure here - https://tidd.ly/4cgJdER We sailed onboard MV Corona in 2025 for all futures sailings from 2026 the ship has been renamed to MV Felicita. Disclosure: We were kindly invited onboard by Riviera Travel to experience their Southern Croatia Yacht Cruise with Bosnia and Herzegovina land tour. Riviera Travel had no editorial input, and as always, our thoughts and opinions are entirely our own. This Riviera Travel holiday combines a seven-night Adriatic yacht cruise with a three-night escorted land tour through Bosnia & Herzegovina. The journey begins in Dubrovnik, where you board a small, four-star yacht accommodating around 40 guests, offering an intimate and relaxed alternative to large cruise ships. Sailing along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, the itinerary includes historic ports such as Korčula, Hvar, Split, Pučišća and Mljet. Guided walking tours introduce the history and culture of each destination, while free time allows independent exploration. The cruise also features scenic sailing, swim stops in clear waters and opportunities to enjoy the surrounding islands and national parks. Meals onboard include daily breakfast and lunch, plus a Captain’s Dinner. After disembarkation, the journey continues inland into Bosnia & Herzegovina. Highlights include the waterfalls of Kravice, the UNESCO-listed bridge in Mostar and the historic city of Sarajevo, where East meets West culturally and architecturally. The tour also visits Trebinje and local landmarks, providing insight into the region’s history and traditions. With flights, transfers, accommodation, guided tours and many meals included, the itinerary offers a comprehensive way to experience both the Croatian coastline and the Balkans beyond the Adriatic. We are Tom and Dom and we experienced our first cruise on the MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in 2021.Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us.
