Looking for a cruise on a small ship (like Windstar)in the Adriactic for next year 2006. Any suggestions

I think I saw something on gate1travel.com that looked reasonable

I am considering the MS dalmacija for next year. it`s not fancy, if you are looking for fancy. It sails from Venice down the croatian coast. It was featured in the film "The talented Mr. Ripley". Frommer`s message board has some reviews on it.

message to Pat:

I'm on their Pearls of the Adriatic
out of Venice on 10/1. And you
are quite correct re not fancy;
awaiting my docs. now & will read
fine print on whether to supply my
own oars --- LOL

What do you mean by not fancy? The Windstar wasn't fancy but very nice - no formal nights. I can't seem to find a picture of the cabins - what are they like.

Thanks Rhea58 for the web site. It looks interesting. I'll keep the reference for when we finally decide.

You're welcome. In doing my research, I got scads of info from the
NYC Croatian Tourist Office.

The co. I finally chose can be found at: www.sterlingvacations.com;
physically located in Austin & owned
by a Croatian couple who have been quite expedient w/e-mail queries.
They also have a more palatable pricing structure.

Thanks Rhea58. I've got it bookmarked for when I am serious about the cruise and pricing Looks interesting.
