The M/V Ave Maria (formerly named Everglow), sister ship of M/V Infinity, is a 161-foot-long, 28-foot-wide modern and deluxe small ship designed for cruising among Croatia’s Adriatic Sea. In 2018 she made her maiden voyage showcasing the latest state-of-the-art equipment and amenities. Ave Maria carries a maximum of 38 passengers in 19 guest cabins, guaranteeing an intimate setting for all guests. If you are seeking a deluxe yacht that cruises Croatia in style at an affordable price, the Ave Maria is a great option.

Choose the M/V Ave Maria if you are seeking a spacious sun deck to lounge or soak in a hot tub while you effortlessly sail the Croatian coastline. She is part of a newly built fleet of sleek, modern yachts that are elegant enough to make your vacation feel upscale but affordable enough that you can add a European land package to your cruise.
Common Areas Aboard Ave Maria
The Main Deck dining room is fully air-conditioned and can accommodate all passengers at once, yet offers a great degree of privacy for each guest. The restaurant includes a bar area with LCD TV, and a corner table for buffet breakfast. A portion of the dining area extends outdoors as a lounge area, offering sweeping panoramic views of the surroundings. Free WiFi is available.
The sundeck lounge spans the entire top of the ship (2,690 square feet) and is partially shaded with comfortable deck beds to relax and access to the hot tub. The covered part of the upper deck is spacious enough to accommodate all passengers and has tables, chairs and public restroom. Ave Maria’s stern features a rear platform with a mini pool and ladders that drop down into the water for easy access during swim stops. In addition, the ship has two outdoor showers and two public restrooms on deck.
Modern cabins are 161 to 183 square feet and come fully equipped with A/C, safe deposit box, audio system for announcements, a small desk and low stool, wardrobe, night stand, small sofa and a porthole window (except one main deck cabin with 2 large oval windows).
