M/S Lastavica - Our Floating Home
This is not a cruise ship with hundreds or thousands of cabins of varying types. This is more like a yacht with just 16 available cabins, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience for up to 36 guests. Built in 2020, our beautiful 160-foot vessel becomes your floating home for an unforgettable week exploring Croatia's stunning Adriatic coast.

The Ship:
The ship offers the perfect blend of yacht-like intimacy and cruise comfort. With spacious sun decks, jacuzzi, sauna, mini gym, indoor and outdoor dining areas, bar, and VIP lounge, you'll have everything you need while anchored in secluded bays that larger ships simply cannot reach. The ship features modern amenities including Starlink Internet throughout, air conditioning, and all the water sports equipment for our Croatian adventure.
The Cabins
All 16 cabins are absolutely beautiful and roughly the same size, ranging from 12-17 square meters (130-187 sq ft). Each features private facilities, ensuite bathrooms with shower, dual air conditioning systems, and flexible twin or double bed configurations. Since this is a yacht-like vessel, there are no "balcony cabins" like traditional cruise ships - instead, you'll enjoy the expansive shared deck spaces and stunning views from every corner of the ship.
How Cabins Are Assigned
We try to assign cabins based on our guests' desires and needs approximately 90 days before the cruise. We consider factors like your preferences for location, any mobility needs, and travel companions. Our goal is to ensure everyone gets their ideal accommodation on this floating home that will become the heart of our Croatian adventure.

Why This Ship is Perfect
Our ship's size and design allow us to access hidden coves and secluded bays that massive cruise ships cannot reach. With only 36 guests, you'll experience Croatia like a local, anchoring in pristine waters where you'll often be the only boat in sight. The shallow draft means we can get incredibly close to beaches and small islands, while the modern amenities ensure comfort throughout your adventure.
CDV & Lastavica Cruising Partnership
Understanding the Difference: M/S Lastavica operates as a traditional charter vessel throughout the season, offering standard Croatian coastal itineraries with basic crew service and piecemeal pricing for meals, excursions, and activities. These conventional cruises follow well-traveled routes with standard accommodations and typical cruise offerings.
When CDV Takes Over: Our partnership completely transforms this beautiful vessel. We contract M/S Lastavica for our exclusive dates, bringing our own CDV hosts, custom itineraries, enhanced service standards, and all-inclusive luxury that creates an entirely different experience. The same ship becomes something extraordinary under CDV's direction.
Our All-Inclusive CDV Experience Features:
• Custom routes to hidden locations and exclusive access points
• Two dedicated CDV hosts managing every detail of your journey
• Enhanced culinary program with Croatian specialties and premium wine & alcohol included
• All truly CDV-style unique & immersive excursions, activities, and experiences included in one price
• Exclusive cultural workshops, private events, and local family experiences
• After the Sun Sets events - Live music, White Night, Mixology Party and more.
• Significantly elevated service standards and personalized attention
• Crew as family - they integrate with our group, allowing them to connect with us
• No surprise charges or à la carte pricing
Custom Charter Options: Outside our published dates, we offer private charter with flexible service levels. You can choose the full over-the-top CDV experience with all our enhancements, or work with us to create a customized program that fits your group's preferences and budget. Every custom charter benefits from our Croatian expertise and established local partnerships. 18 months minimum advance booking is required to block weeks.
The CDV difference is unmistakable - we don't just book a cruise, we create an immersive Croatian adventure that goes far beyond what any standard charter can offer. When you sail with CDV, you're experiencing Croatia through the eyes of passionate locals who've spent years perfecting every detail of this journey.
