In Split you’re in the centre of the old town overlooking Diocletian’s Palace and in Dubrovnik you will finish at a stunning 5 star resort with ocean view rooms overlooking the Adriatic. You won’t want to leave!
Luxury Ship
Our glamorous ship is the pride of the fleet and offer a superior level of comfort and design. The vessels are 49m (160ft) in length and a luxurious 9m (29ft) wide. Chill out in the jacuzzi on the upper deck or work on your tan on one of the sun lounges! Kick back and relax in the indoor or outdoor lounge areas whilst sipping on unlimited (included) Aperol Spritz!

Delicious Dining
Every morning you’ll wake to a scrumptious breakfast whilst we sail to our next destination, stopping of course for a swim along the way. At lunch you will be spoilt for choice with a daily stunning four-course luncheon consisting of delicious local specialities. Don’t forget that whilst onboard we’ve included all your local beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks – it’s important to keep hydrated!

A Place To Call Home
Imagine spending a week cruising around the Adriatic on a all-gay superyacht! You’ll be living life like a billionaire or super model – just like Naomi in the 90’s. Our gorgeous ships feature VIP balcony cabins on the upper deck and even more spacious, modern cabins on the lower deck befitting even the fussiest of Queens! They’re all air conditioned, beautifully appointed and have gorgeous ensuites – you’ll feel right at home.
Your Ship - MV Ave Maria
Spending a week on a super yacht cruising the Croatian Islands sounds terrible doesn’t it! How will you ever manage? The MV Ave Maria was launched in 2018 and oozes glamour – she’s glitzy, she’s gorgeous and perfect for the gays!
She has 19 cabins in total and you can choose between an Upper Deck cabin, that comes with a private balcony (2 chairs and a small table) or a below-deck cabin with a porthole window. These below deck cabins are slightly larger than the balcony cabins). All cabins can be made up as twin or doubles. She also has two lower deck cabins that can be used for triple share (3 single beds) if needed.
Onboard you will find a sun deck that has enough sun lounges for you all to work on your tans, plus a jacuzzi that you can take a dip in when you’re not swimming at some ridiculously stunning location. There is also a restaurant, bar and outdoor lounge area on the main deck, which will be the perfect place to sip on an Aperol Spritz. There's also a refreshing plunge pool located at the rear of the lower deck.
Your Hotel in Zagreb - Hotel Dubrovnik
You couldn’t get any more centrally located than Hotel Dubrovnik ! Situated on Zagreb’s main square it’ll be the perfect base for you to easily explore the whole city. Within a few minutes walk you’ll find all the major attractions of the city as well as the best restaurants, bars and museums. You wont have to go far for the best coffee and cake in town, the hotel’s beautiful art deco café – Café Dubrovnik has been serving the locals for over 100 years.
Your Hotel in Split - Hotel Cornaro
The unbeatable central location of Cornaro Hotel , its ancient historical surroundings and its stunning luxurious interior have combined to make this the most popular hotel in the city centre. You’ll be situated right at the entrance of Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, (a UNESCO World Heritage listed site), and only moments away from the Riva – Split’s famous waterfront promenade. What we love about this hotel is the rooftop bar and it’s incredible views – perfect for a sunset cocktail.

Your Hotel in Dubrovnik - Rixos Libertas Resort
For our grand finale we have three nights of unadulterated luxury at the 5 star Hotel Rixos Libertas . You’ll love the stunning sea view rooms where you can sit out on your balcony and take in the views over the Adriatic Sea. Spend your days lounging by the pool, swimming in the sea, indulging in spa treatments or you can even stroll back into Dubrovnik’s old town. The most important this to do is relax!
