We boarded the Tere Moana in Venice for a 7 night cruise to Croatia. This was a our 3rd cruise on this ship and by far this was the most enjoyable. The Captain Rajko Zupan with the assistance of his crew planned a Reunion Cruise that was second to none. The itienary changed a few times to allow some very interesting adventures during the cruise. One example was diverting to a small mountain lake region where most passengers walked about 15 minutes to a piece of paradise. We swam in the beauitful waters and were fortunate to see some beautiful scenery that most people on large cruise ships woule not get the opportunity to explore.

The Crew: Where do they find these wonderful dedicated people who do everything possible to make our trip so enjoyable and unforgettable. From the engine room to the bridge you cannot find anyone who will not go out of their way to make you comfortable and happy to be aboard. I would like to mention a few names but that would be unfair to the many I do not know by name. I say "thank you" to all of you. The ship is small (88 passengers) and very well kept. Given the size of the ship it can go places that would be impossible for the large cruise ships to enter. With only 88 people on board you get to know most shile on board and many friendships are made. This is not your push to the buffet line and stuff your plate with food you could never eat. This ship served varying menus of very well prepared meals both in the dining room and on 2 special occasions we were fortunate to dine on the upper deck while viewing beauitful sunsets and enjoying the perfect weather and company.

I have heard that the Moana has been sold and will finish her PG affiliation next year. I am very sorry to hear that news but the Captain and crew should feel proud of themselves for the wonderful memories they have left in the minds of their guests. Wherever Capt. Zupan and his crew should serve in the future the fortunate company and guests will be very fortunate.
