Join a gay cruise around the Dalmatian coast and explore Croatia, one of Europe’s most popular destinations. Once part of former Yugoslavia, it became independent in 1991. It has emerged as a developed country and EU member state. From the ruins of Diocletian’s Palace to well-preserved Medieval towns, Croatia is packed with history.
Croatian island hopping is becoming more and more popular. Joining a cruise is an ideal way to explore Croatia. If you visit the country once you’ll want to back again and again.
You’ll be sailing on the luxurious Black Swan with a group of sophisticated gay men. This is the best way to discover the charms of Croatia in style.
