World Cruising: Fjaka – latest self-help buzzword or are the Croatians on to something?
Jan 13, 2022
A holiday often is defined by the experiences we make in unique and beautiful settings. But what about that indulgently lazy contentment of doing nothing that turns a holiday into a vacation? Croatia has taken their sentiment of Fjaka to heart.
Set along the coast of the Amalfi Sea, Croatia holds that undeniable coastal European beauty. Spend your days floating through pristine turquoise waters passing by sandy beaches and fairy-tale like architecture and stone castles. Floating on a 164” luxury yacht and you will certainly start to enter a state of relaxation.
on to the next island!
Croatia is also home to over 1000 islands on the Amalfi Sea, ranging from the hugely popular to the lesser-known. Among the islands, you will find endless destinations, activities, dining experiences and beaches to rest and reset. Think of it this way – you cruise for three or four hours only to arrive at your newest destination, spend the day there and head to another island for dinner! The benefit of having so many islands is not only their beauty but the opportunity to experience a new destination every single day.
Island hopping
We believe that island hopping is truly the most exquisite way to experience Croatia and this is what differentiates a luxury cruise in Croatia from some of their counterparts in Italy or France. Not only are you getting one thousand islands for the price of one in your vacation, but Croatia is relatively inexpensive in comparison. We can’t be the only one thinking that a little money saved might help our state of Fjaka.
Cruising has become an increasingly popular way to travel the world in recent years and it’s easy to see why when you think about it. You can choose your own bubble and stay relatively secluded from others throughout the duration of your trip.
