REGISTRATION DEADLINE: DEC. 31, 2023
The Croatia is a beautifully restored 105 ft. wooden Turkish "gulet" schooner, a traditional two-masted wooden sailing vessel from the southwestern coast of Turkey. Gulet schooners were built in the coastal towns of Bodrum and Marmaris, although similar vessels can be found all around the eastern Mediterranean.
Space is limited to a maximum of 10 participants. There are 5 cabins available - 2 twin cabins and 3 double cabins. Must book with a cabin mate as we won't be pairing people up.
The cruise includes half-board (breakfast and dinner) and a drinks package of your choice. All breakfasts and dinners will be served on board, prepared by our personal Croatian gourmet chef, and lunches will be at the participant's choice of eateries on the islands we visit (lunches are not included).
Per Person Price (shared cabin):
3000 euros with non-alcoholic beverages
3,300 euros with wine package
- Includes breakfast and dinner on board
- Lunches will be on the various islands and are not included

Drawing Instructor Diane Olivier
Drawing has always been my primary media, working with both traditional and nontraditional materials on scales ranging from small book size to mural size. My subject matter ranges from figurative, landscape and cityscapes to non-representational. The media ranges from charcoal to graphite, to full color pastels to non-traditional mixed media. The sense of touch between the tools and the paper and the immediacy of the mark are important element in my process. It is a dance between the eyes, the hand and the soul.
