Escape to Croatia

Exclusively From Paul Cranny Travel

Paul Cranny and Paul Carter are thrilled to invite you to join them on one of several, one week cruise charters along the beautiful Croatian coast this coming summer. With the best part of 50 years of cruise ship experience between them, most memorably with Swan Hellenic, this is something that they have been discussing for a while now and they are delighted that Paul Cranny has secured an exclusive charter of the beautiful Queen Eleganza. Constructed in 2018 the stunning Queen Eleganza features just 18, fully en-suite cabins ensuring high levels of space and comfort. Public areas are spacious and life on board will be fun, casual, relaxed and informal. Famed for its outstanding natural beauty and long history, the Croatian coast is an increasingly popular cruise destination, but from the comfort of our small ship we will try to avoid the crowds and enjoy the ease of access that such a sized vessel can afford.

On Board

The Queen Eleganza

For our regular Croatian cruise, we are delighted to have chartered the newly built Queen Eleganza whose maiden voyage is in the spring of 2018. Beautifully crafted by Croatian hands, this is one of the finest Croatian flagged vessels of her kind and, with a maximum of just 32 guests, there is the added benefit of a relaxed and informal atmosphere on board. The team of friendly Croatian crew members all speak English and their excellent service and hospitality will do much to add to your enjoyment. Meals served on board have a home cooked feel and feature wholesome, fresh and tasty Mediterranean cuisine and to enhance your Croatian experience, on some evenings, we would like to take you out to dine ashore in recommended popular local restaurants. This is the perfect ship to escape the formalities of larger vessels and enjoy the casual nature of small ship cruising along the most beautiful of coastlines.

YOUR CABIN

The 18 cabins are furnished to the highest standard with sleek lines and neutral colours. All are equipped with an en-suite bathroom (with shower), safe, air conditioning/heating, hairdryer and flat screen TV. Most cabins also feature a dressing table and chair. The cabins on the Lower Deck have two portholes whereas on Main Deck the Saphire Suites have three portholes and the Diamond Suite has four portholes. The Emerald Suites on the Main Deck, have a large picture window offering wonderful views. The cabins range in size from 12 meters2 for the Emerald Suites to 26 meters2 for the Diamond Suite.

LIFE ON BOARD
The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, with the dress code reflecting this. With just 32 like-minded passengers, the mood is intimate, and what better way to enjoy the views of the magnifcent islands and cities than sitting on the Sun Deck watching the world pass slowly by. Part of the joy of a cruise aboard this vessel is her capability to dock in small ports or drop anchor in any suitable spot. The experienced Captain and his crew are trained in the highest safety standards. Being such a small operation, the close-knit team work excellently together and will enrich your overall enjoyment of small ship cruising.
