Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast With The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
The Most Luxurious Way to Sail the Adriatic Sea
Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is one of the most captivating yacht destinations in the world—an intoxicating blend of medieval towns, crystalline waters, secluded islands, and a refined Mediterranean lifestyle. While there are countless ways to explore this iconic coastline, nothing compares to experiencing Croatia aboard The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.
At Stars Desk, we are proud to be a Top Producer for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and a Top Marriott STARS agency. Our clients enjoy exclusive advantages including onboard credits, priority upgrades, and preferred amenities—often at discounted rates not available when booking direct.
If you’re considering a luxury cruise through Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast, this guide will show you why The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is the ultimate choice—and why booking through Stars Desk elevates the experience even further.
Why Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast Are Perfect for Yacht Travel
Stretching along the eastern Adriatic Sea, Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is home to more than 1,000 islands, historic UNESCO-listed cities, and hidden coves accessible only by sea. The region offers a rare balance of culture, nature, and understated glamour—making it ideal for luxury yachting.
Highlights of the Dalmatian Coast
Dubrovnik – The “Pearl of the Adriatic,” famous for its medieval walls and marble streets
Split – Home to Diocletian’s Palace, a living Roman monument
Hvar – Chic nightlife, lavender fields, and yacht-lined harbors
Korčula – A storybook old town often linked to Marco Polo
Vis – Untouched beauty, wine traditions, and the iconic Blue Cave
Sailing allows you to wake up in a new destination each day without repacking, waiting in lines, or navigating ferries. And when paired with the refined elegance of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, the journey becomes as memorable as the destinations themselves.

Exploring Croatia, One Iconic Port at a Time
Dubrovnik: A Grand Beginning
Most Dalmatian Coast sailings begin or end in Dubrovnik. Walking its ancient walls or exploring its baroque streets feels cinematic—and arriving by yacht adds a dramatic touch few experiences can rival.
Hvar: Glamour Meets History
Hvar blends medieval architecture with modern sophistication. Spend the day exploring hilltop fortresses, then return to the yacht after sunset as the harbor glows with superyachts and candlelit terraces.
Korčula: Timeless Charm
Often described as a miniature Dubrovnik, Korčula offers quiet elegance, cobblestone streets, and local wineries. It’s a favorite stop for guests seeking authenticity without crowds.
Vis: Croatia’s Best-Kept Secret
Closed to foreign visitors for decades, Vis remains unspoiled. Here, the yacht anchors in pristine waters where swimming platforms and water sports turn the Adriatic into your private playground.
Why The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Is Different From Traditional Cruises
Traditional cruises prioritize scale. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection prioritizes experience.
| Traditional Cruise | Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection |
|---|---|
| Thousands of guests | Intimate yacht atmosphere |
| Fixed schedules | Flexible, immersive itineraries |
| Large ports only | Small harbors & hidden coves |
| Standardized service | Personalized Ritz-Carlton service |
For Croatia, this distinction matters. Smaller yachts mean less crowded ports, deeper cultural immersion, and more time enjoying the destination—not waiting in lines.
