    Croatia - Treasures of the Dalmatian Coast - Small Group Journeys

    Send us Fan Mail  Discover Croatia: Treasures of the Dalmatian Coast Join Greg and Laurie Shuss of Dream Vacations as we take you along Croatia’s spectacular Dalmatian Coast and explore why small-group luxury travel can be one of the most rewarding ways to experience Europe. In this episode, we spotlight Abercrombie & Kent’s “Croatia: Treasures of the Dalmatian Coast,” an extraordinary 8-day luxury small-group journey from Split to Dubrovnik. With groups limited to just 18 guests, this experience combines five-star accommodations, expert guidance, fascinating history, local culture and the kind of special access for which A&K is known. We’ll explore some of the journey’s highlights: wandering through Diocletian’s Palace in Split, traveling along the beautiful Adriatic to Hvar, enjoying wine and local specialties at a family-owned winery, sampling the flavors of the Dalmatian Coast, and discovering the medieval beauty of Dubrovnik—including a private cruise offering unforgettable views of the legendary walled city. But we’ll also talk about something equally important: why working with an experienced travel advisor matters. At Dream Vacations by Laurie & Greg Shuss, we don’t simply book a tour. We help coordinate the entire vacation—from selecting the right journey and accommodations to flights, pre- and post-tour stays, transfers, travel protection and the countless details that can turn a great trip into an exceptional one.

A small group of fellow travelers—and Dream Vacations helping you every step of the way.

    Dream Vacations - Enchanting Canyonlands and Utah National Parks Tour

    Send us Fan Mail Stuck in the planning spiral with 30 tabs open and no idea where to go next? We’ve been there—and we built a roadmap out. We start with the Dream Vacations portal and that tempting $10,000 contest, then pull apart the real reason travel feels overwhelming in 2026: too many choices that signal too many identities. From expedition cruises and romance registries to family resorts and theme parks, the menu has exploded—and so has the cognitive load. To make the jump from browsing to boarding, we stress‑test a concrete itinerary: the Globus Enchanting Canyonlands tour. Eleven days, six national parks, Vegas to Vegas, and a price tag that demands clarity on value. We unpack what you actually buy with that budget—density, expert timing, permits handled, and a friction‑free arc from neon to sandstone. Along the way, we compare passive amenities with active immersion, arguing that the new luxury is access and time on the ground. Think four‑wheel drives through Monument Valley, the Zion–Mount Carmel Tunnel as moving theater, and sunrise over hoodoos that look like squatting goblins. We also make the case for a human travel advisor as the modern safety net. When your trip costs as much as a renovation, insurance details, shore excursions, and 24/7 help aren’t extras; they’re the harness that lets you go farther without fear. Rustic lodges become a feature, not a flaw, when the trade is proximity to wonder. And smart itineraries now weave freedom into structure—“plan your day your way” moments—so independence thrives within solid logistics. If you’ve wondered how to spend a surprise $10K, how to choose between buffet cruises and desert dust, or how to replace planning paralysis with purposeful movement, this one maps the path. Hit follow, share with a friend who’s stuck in the tab maze, and leave a review telling us: chocolate on the pillow, or one more day exploring?
