May and September are ideal times to cruise and tour the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia and Montenegro. Few crowds, mild temperatures, and warm water!
With a strong dollar, there's no better time to see the Dalmatian Islands and no better way than on our private 28 person yacht. The 10 person crew charmed our 2022 travelers and some of their comments are listed below for you to see for yourself. Don't wait - we had to turn people away this year and we taking a smaller group of "like-minded guests." Save your spot for 2024 now. Our new itinerary is even better, giving you more time to meet the people of Croatia (some of the friendliest) and enjoy this incredible land with a combination cruise and land tour that brings the best of Croatia together. |

Customer commentS from 2022:
Special memories of our Croatia trip from Kent B., 2022:
"1. Making new friends. We met people we would never have met in the course of our ordinary lives. What was really special was the unity we instantly felt with our new friends, simply based on our commonality of faith. Within a day, it felt like we had known each other for years. 2. The warmth and hospitality of the Croatian people, especially the crew of the Lupus Mare. We will never forget the smiles and graciousness of Kasija, Anna, and Petra and the captain of the ship. They were so friendly and helpful, seeming to anticipate our every need. 3. The GELATO! YUMMMMM! 4. The special spirit we enjoyed at the Sunday meetings in Zadar, as the Branch President spoke of the hardships his family had endured over the centuries, reminding us that "hard does not mean bad." And the sweet spirit of the meeting after the meeting as the Proctors shared their experiences with the prophets. 5. The incredible beauty of the Adriatic. Going back over the pictures I took I am amazed at the number of photos of the crystal blue water. I will never forget the color of the water inside the cave of the Blue Grotto we visited on our first day in Kotor. The deep, iridescent dark blue of that water sticks in my mind as a sweet memory). 6. The morning devotionals and evening programs with the Leostrins and the Proctors. Beginning every new day with a group prayer. Great memories!' "7. All the pre-tour work done by the Stoddards, having everything lined up and ready for us to make the transition from place to place seamless and stress free. We could have gone on a big cruise ship and seen similar sights, but this trip was so intimate and unforgettable. Thank you, thank you!" |
Special memories of our Croatia trip from Dennis K., 2022:
"The time on the Yacht Lupus Mare was very relaxing as we were pampered with visits to many islands, each with its own uniqueness. The service of the crew and the cuisine of the area (we loved all the seafood dinners), and the Captain’s willingness and ability to adjust the itinerary to fit our desires including swim stops, water toys, and equipment. The many side tours that were already planned allowed us to see many of the natural wonders like the KRKA NATIONAL PARK and its many beautiful waterfalls. The tour gave us the structure needed to shepherd us, but the freedom to go off on our own or even not go on a side tour if we so decided." These photos were taken by travelers on

Meet the Branch President of the Town Krešimir Ćosić Made Famous
By Mark J. Stoddard · December 27, 2022
A few months ago, we were privileged to attend the Zadar, Croatia Branch. Our group more than tripled the congregation but branch members were so joyful and accommodating to all the American visitors. In particular, the Branch President, Danijel Kolega, couldn’t have been more impressive. Danijel is not only the Zadar Branch President but the first counselor in the district presidency. He spoke to the congregation alternating between Croatian and English even though most of the Croatians spoke perfect English. Recently, I interviewed Danijel. He tells so much of the struggle for religious freedom and other freedoms for Croatians the past 2,000 years and how his ancestors were instrumental in the fights for freedom in World War I & II, and then during the post-war communist takeovers. He loves to discuss his country and the gospel. |
