I’ve just returned from a truly special journey aboard the MS Monet—a cruise between Greece and Croatia that I will not soon forget. The MS Monet is not your typical cruise ship: it accommodates a maximum of 50 guests and has all the warm, intimate atmosphere of a private yacht. You immediately feel at home on board, thanks in large part to the incredibly kind and attentive staff. The ship is elegant and well maintained, with tastefully appointed public areas and comfortable cabins. I had a cabin with a porthole—small but functional, always spotless and quiet, and just perfect for this kind of trip. The real highlight, however, was the itinerary. Each stop was paired with guided tours in small groups, well organized and led by knowledgeable and passionate local guides. Meals were always of excellent quality, served in a calm and friendly atmosphere. I also made great connections with fellow passengers, all of whom shared a love for authentic travel experiences.
