Northern Pearls: Split - Opatija

 The cruise on M/V Meridian was superb. The crew were friendly without being over familiar, the food was excellent and the chefs went to great lengths to cater for the two Coeliacs on board. Both were able to relax and enjoy the cruise all the more. We were lucky with the weather and our fellow passengers were great company. Marina the guide was outstanding. The scenery and slightly quieter nights stops on the Split to Opatija route suited us very well.   Once we had managed to confirm our booking and get the Small Cruise Ship Collection office to understand what we were looking for everything worked very well. We would book through Small Cruise Ship Collection again when we are next looking for that type of holiday.
