Cruise Days 3 and 4 aboard Princess Eleganza delivered the perfect mix of slow travel and standout moments, from a hidden stop in Pučišća and a stylish evening in Split to our first (very cold) swim stop and a visit to Krka National Park. These were the days we truly found our rhythm and why cruising along the Croatian coast just works.

This isn’t professional medical advice it’s just the list of meds and essentials I never travel without. Over years of flying, hiking, cruising, and dealing with a dodgy curry or two (Delhi airport food court, I’m looking at you), I’ve learned the hard way that a small stash of key items can save your trip.
