Radoslav Lorković Croatia Cruises

We added another week! Join us September 11–18, 2027

Our original two 2027 cruises sold out quickly. Due to strong interest, we’ve added another week of music and island hopping with Rad and Ellis. The September 11–18, 2027 cruise will sail from the Split area to Dubrovnik, with stops in Hvar and Korčula, plus other island ports handpicked by Rad.

Come explore Croatia with us

Picture yourself on the deck of a luxury yacht, gliding through a turquoise sea, drifting island to island. Every harbor stop is a Maxfield Parrish painting, crystal-clear water reflecting the ancient Venetian architecture of pristine limestone towns. Then, after exquisite dining, you’re listening to… wait… Ellis Paul and Radoslav Lorković? I thought this was a Renaissance dream!

Ellis and I are hosting Croatia cruises in September 2027, right in that sweet spot after the massive crowds and oppressive heat of July and August are gone, and before the cooler, rainier season.

Together, we’ll swim off the back of the ship in crystal-clear waters, enjoy exceptional onboard dining, and explore everything from wineries to national parks. These aren’t standard, off-the-shelf itineraries. I personally design each route around my favorite places and experiences, including some stops that small cruise ships don’t commonly visit.

These trips bring together some of my favorite things: music, good food, time with friends, and the chance to share my Croatian roots with you. I was born in Zagreb, and although I’m based in the US, I have a home on Hvar where I spend several months each year. I love sharing the places I know and love with people who are discovering this coast for the first time or returning to see more.

We’ve previously hosted eight custom Croatia cruises, including four aboard Antaris. That experience helps us shape each week, from choosing the ports to making guests feel at home on board.

I hope you’ll join us. Take a look at the ship, photos, and itineraries below for a taste of what we have planned. I’d love to share this part of the world with you.

Our Ship: MS Antaris

With just 19 cabins, MS Antaris offers a comfortable home for a week of music and exploring the Croatian coast. Classified among Croatia’s highest-tier small cruise ships, Antaris is one of the rare few small ships in Croatia with balcony cabins.

There are 11 upper-deck cabins with private balconies and eight lower-deck cabins with porthole windows. Each cabin has a private bathroom and air-conditioning.

Between ports, there’s space to enjoy the sun deck, relax in one of several lounges, share a meal, or watch the islands pass by. The ship’s swimming platform makes it easy to enjoy the Adriatic during swim stops off the back of the ship.
