This vacation experience was amazing and one of a kind! I enjoyed my hosts and meeting all of the guests. I would 100% love to travel with Caviar in the Air and visit Croatia again.
Would you consider these things for future Croatia Itineraries, possibly a yacht with a pool & TV for movie nights, maybe a different and/or longer Itineraries for return clients who want to see other islands, and maybe a 10 or 12 day Itinerary that includes staying 2 or 3 nights in the major cities so more excursions and activities can be planned.
Overall, it was a INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE and I left with so many great memories. Thank you Claire 💛
Five Stars for “The Croatia Experience”!!!
I’ve taken my share of “luxury” trips that over-promise and under-deliver. Up in the Air Life’s Croatia Experience isn’t one of them. From the VIP airport pickup to the farewell dinner, every moment was engineered for ease, connection, and a little extra sparkle.
Service & Planning
Weeks before we boarded, the concierge team handled my room upgrade, restaurant wish list, and spa slots with military precision—saving me hours of back-and-forth. The private trip chat meant last-minute dining changes and Hvar sunset plans were solved in minutes, not hours.
Life Onboard
The mega-yacht itself is a floating boutique hotel: plush cabins, strong Wi-Fi, and more beach towels than a Ritz-Carlton pool deck. Mornings started with a generous breakfast buffet; afternoons brought multi-course lunches paired with Croatian wine and sea views. Evenings? Picture a private DJ spinning R\&B and neo-soul under Adriatic starlight.
Curated Experiences
Up in the Air Life swaps tourist traps for texture: tearing through Korčula on a buggy safari, savoring village–made prošek at a family winery, and toasting with bubbly as we sailed past Dubrovnik’s ancient walls. The walking tours in Split, Dubrovnik, and Hvar struck the right balance of history and free time—no headset fatigue here.
Culinary Touches
Aboard tastings (olive oil, local reds) primed our palates, while the captain’s welcome dinner and farewell feast rivaled Michelin menus. The Trstenik village dinner—complete with backyard-grilled lamb and homemade rakija—felt like being folded into a Croatian family celebration.
The Intangibles
Dress-up theme days kept the vibe playful; personalized swag bags felt thoughtful, not gimmicky. Most important: the crew and group chemistry turned a high-end itinerary into a genuine community on the water.
Bottom Line
If you want to see Croatia without herding through mass-market tours—and you value white-glove support, cultural depth, and a soundtrack that makes you feel seen—bookmark this voyage. Up in the Air Life delivered a trip that was equal parts luxe retreat and soul vacation.
Great trip. From the accommodations to the staff, (particularly the attentive chef), the daily swim stops in incredibly clear water - the experience was amazing.

🌟 5-Star Review for The Croatia Experience with Caviar in the Air 🌟
This was hands down one of the best travel experiences I've ever had! From start to finish, Claire and her team at Caviar in the Air curated an unforgettable journey that far exceeded my expectations.
✨ The communication prior to the trip was excellent thorough, timely, and reassuring. I felt fully prepared and excited before even boarding my flight. Once we arrived, every detail was seamlessly handled. The itinerary was packed with amazing events that felt authentic, not touristy. We had the chance to dive deep into the culture with the help of knowledgeable and fun local guides, all while enjoying incredible food, drinks, and breathtaking views.
💫 One of the best parts? The balance. There was a perfect mix of group activities and downtime to explore or rest at our own pace. The flow of the trip felt just right energizing but never overwhelming.
If you're looking for a luxury experience at an accessible price point, I highly recommend booking with Caviar in the Air. Claire is not only a phenomenal planner but also a warm and gracious hostess. She truly goes above and beyond to make everyone feel cared for and included.
Already dreaming about my next adventure with them!

My friends and I had an absolute magical time. The food, the people, the vibes, the swim stops, the crew, the organizer (Claire), were all fantastic. 10/10 I plan to go again!! 😊
