No. You’re welcome to join others when you’d like or take time to yourself.

Yacht-Specific Questions

Can I bring my own alcohol onboard?
Croatian regulations prohibit bringing your own alcohol onboard for consumption during the cruise. You are welcome to purchase alcohol to bring home with you or enjoy after the cruise. Beverage packages are available onboard.

Will I get seasick?
The Adriatic Sea is generally very calm, especially along the Dalmatian Coast where we sail between islands. However, there can occasionally be additional movement in the event of storms or high winds. If you are prone to motion sickness, it is a good idea to bring medication such as Meclizine or Dramamine.
