I have been looking at a company called Sail Croatia who run small ship cruises along the coast of Croatia. Other than a number of excellent reviews on Trip Advisor, I have not been able to find out much about them if anyone has any experience with this company, I would love to hear your impressions. Thanks so much!

Thanks for this. We’ve been considering Sail Croatia, which seems to have similar cruises, but will now look more closely at Unforgettable. I saw their website, but haven’t been able to find out much about them.

Thanks so much! Sounds fantastic. We've just started looking at this so may have questions later on. My wife and I stopped at a few places in Croatia on a sailing cruise last summer and loved it. I started looking at Sail Croatia (which seems pretty similar) and then stumbled upon Katrina, but it is difficult finding out much about either one so your comments are very useful. I appreciate it.

I wonder if you could share anything about your experience on Katarina? I have been looking at their cruises, but it is very hard to find any information about them. Thanks so much.

Thank you. I finally did get some information from SC.

If you are very happy with it, then that;s all that counts.

I don’t know. I have been looking for something to replace by current Nikon 5300 and there seem to be very few options out there without moving to a full frame model.

Well said. I couldn’t agree more.

No, this is our first Star Clipper cruise and we’re very excited. Only been waiting for four years for this to happen! Happy travels.

Ok, I did a little research and found a Washington Post article (dated 7/13/21) which said the following: The ban applies to ships of more than 25,000 tons. The massive cruise ships that have sailed into Venice’s harbor can be nearly four times that weight. According the the StarClipper website, the Star Flyer is 2,298 tons, so we should be fine.

Hi, I am still waiting to receive my boarding papers, but the information I received with my confirmation notice said that embarkation is at Venezia Terminal San Basilio. I will let you know if I find out anything differently.

When do I receive these papers? I am leaving in 3 weeks and haven’t heard a word since I made my final payment?

I first saw it about six months ago. Not sure how long it has been there. It was also mentioned to me by the agent when I booked my cruise.

Most electronic equipment (but not hair dryers or anything else that generates heat) will run on either 110 or 220.

We were booked on that cruise, but switched to a Venice to Athens cruise. Enjoy! I’ve always wondered what a transatlantic cruise would be like.

We’ve been counting down probably close to a THOUSAND days, but a lot of that is due to the fact that we rescheduled three times due to COVID. Finally down to sixty! Traveling from Virginia to Venice for embarkation.

Thank you. We're getting excited about ours.

I have seen several recommendations for Welcome Pickup. Does anyone have any good/bad experiences with them to relate? Thank you.

Here is another forum post which contains some useful information. I am in the same boat as you, so I have no idea which information in there is correct.

Anyone else doing this cruise? We postponed three earlier cruises, but hoping to make it this time.

Five weeks, wow, that’s a cruise—particularly compared to the paltry ten day cruise we have planned. Sounds delightful. Sorry, can’t help you with your question. I was wondering the same and searched this forum. One post said the prices were high, another one said they were very reasonable, so who knows? Anyway, happy sailing!

We are booked on the same (or similar) cruise for this October (having postponed two previous reservations!). Any impressions about your cruise or the ports would be more than welcomed. We are still a bit worried about COVID, but keeping our fingers crossed. Thanks.

127 days until our Mediterranean cruise on Star Clipper, but I am freaking out over all of the things one needs to think about while traveling in the days of COVID.

Thanks. That was quite helpful.
