What to expect from MS Il Mare

Overview

Welcome aboard the magnificent MS Il Mare. This superb addition to our Croatian fleet, has become a real favourite.

This most majestic of vessels, at an impressive 48 metres, causes quite a stir as she moors in the unspoilt little ports along this captivating stretch of the Adriatic. A low passenger complement of just 40 guests creates a sense of exclusivity, yet the gracious and friendly crew, trained to the highest standards, ensure a relaxed and sociable on-board atmosphere, where nothing is too much trouble.

The glossy teak, gleaming decks and dazzling chrome exude the glamour that goes hand in hand with this type of yacht cruising and once on board, you’ll be wowed by the elegant contemporary interior; its subtle soothing colour scheme and understated style, provides the perfect ambience in which to unwind. Take dinner in a bright, spacious restaurant, furnished in a simple yet elegant style, creating an informal and comfortable dining experience. Daily breakfast offers hot and cold dishes, and either lunch or dinner presents local dishes from around the Adriatic. At the 'Captain's dinner' enjoy specially selected dishes, whilst the other evenings will be free to dine as you wish in the ports we visit.

A spectacular sun deck provides the ideal location to lie back on a sun lounger with a drink from the bar and soak up the glorious vistas at every turn.

The thoughtfully-designed fully air-conditioned cabins are all equipped with desk and chair, wardrobe, safe, hair dryer and bathroom with shower and contemporary fittings so your comfort is assured. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

Gratuities

Giving a gratuity is entirely at your discretion, so we have not included these in your holiday cost, and we don't add it as a set percentage.

If you would like to tip the staff, a good guideline is to give €8-12 per person per day should you feel that is appropriate.

If you do choose to give a gratuity, there will usually be an envelope is left in your cabin on the final evening. This is for you to be able include any tips, and you can then drop it off at reception the following morning. The tips are divided equally between the crew.

Should you also wish to give a gratuity directly to your Riviera Travel Cruise Director and Concierge, this is also at your discretion.

Entertainment

Savour dinner in a bright, spacious restaurant, while a spectacular sun deck provides the ideal location to recline on a lounger with a drink from the bar and soak up the glorious vistas.

Sun Deck

The sun deck features a selection of comfortable chairs and sun loungers, both in and out of the shade, relax with a good book or a drink from the bar.

Please note: The Sun Deck is only accessible by stairs.

Enrichment

Along the many miles of coastline we explore, you'll spot ruined forts, monasteries and the remnants of history that include Roman, Venetian and Ottoman rule. We'll enjoy independent visits, guided tours and plenty of free time to really get under the skin of each destination.

Thanks to their small size, our yachts moor in beautiful harbours and ports, so you can step off the ship and straight into our next destination. This means less time travelling and more time exploring - who can say no to that? 

Excursions

Iconic landmarks

Our excursions are designed to show you both the world-famous sites every traveller should see, as well as a few secret spots that let you experience life as a local. While many of Croatia's landmarks might not be easy to list off for the less decerning travellers, we'll make sure you feel 'in-the-know'. We'll take you to some incredible man-made landmarks and a few natural spots sculpted over millennia

Little ports and islands

Of course, our expert explorers know that to truly get to know a culture, you can't just visit the major cities and well-known landmarks, you must seek out the unknown too. So, they've scoured the country to bring you the must-see places most tourists haven't heard about.

Together with local guides, we'll visit the beautiful, whitewashed fishing villages that punctuate the coastline, and wander the streets of towns like Rab and KorĨula, which have a distinctly Venetian feel - you might even stop in to ex-pirate towns with a colourful history, like Makarska, where you'll discover why the Croatian coastline was so popular with buccaneers. And you may also enjoy additional experiences, including e-bike tours, wine tastings and visits to museums (depending on your itinerary). 

Croatian cities

We'll visit some fascinating cities that sit on the shores of the Adriatic, including Croatia's second city, Split, where history, natural beauty and modernity live side by side in almost perfect balance. Beyond the ancient allure of sights Diocletian's Palace (more on that later), Split is home to a vibrant café culture (coffee is a Croatian essential, they drink it well into the evening), bustling markets and a lively waterfront with bars and restaurants that make the most of their ocean views.

And, of course, we'd be remiss not to add Dubrovnik to some of our itineraries. This historic city is known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic" thanks to its picturesque streets, baroque architecture and impressive Old Town, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Followers of pop culture may recognise some of the structures from a recent favourite Game of Thrones but it's so much more than a nice change of scenery. The city exudes a laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere, and the locals are very friendly. 

Dining

You'll be wowed by the contemporary interior. Savour dinner in a bright, spacious restaurant. 

Restaurant

Dine in the MS II Mare's bright, spacious restaurant, where simple elegance creates a comfortable, informal atmosphere. Enjoy daily breakfast with a selection of hot and cold dishes, and indulge in local Adriatic specialties at lunch and dinner.

On the ‘Captain’s Dinner’ night, savour specially selected dishes for your enjoyment. After indulging, visit the fully stocked bar that extends into the al fresco area at the stern, providing a relaxed setting for drinks. Whether inside or outside, the restaurant ensures a delightful dining experience, combining comfort, style, and a taste of the region.
