Dive trip with Invictus - 7 nights

Boat

Introduced for the 2021 cruise season, M/S Invictus is a modern Croatian yacht-style passenger ship designed for close-range Adriatic island hopping. The official page does not publish a full technical table or a definitive cabin count, so length, engine power and maximum occupancy should not be guessed; obtain the current deck plan and booking specification from Ambassador Travel when those figures affect a sale.

The vessel's scale is suited to Croatia's island harbours, narrow approaches and sheltered coves. Days combine coastal navigation with meals, swimming and guided heritage visits; nights are generally spent alongside, so guests can dine independently and explore historic centres on foot. Safety equipment published by the operator includes video surveillance, navigation systems, smoke and fire detection, life rafts, life jackets and an onboard announcement system.

Invictus has a fully air-conditioned upper-deck restaurant and salon with a separate bar, lounge, buffet corner, large television, Wi-Fi and announcement system. A covered terrace can be enclosed against wind. The standout outdoor area is a partly shaded 390 m² sun deck with loungers and rooftop Jacuzzi; the stern platform adds two bathing ladders, two outdoor showers and public toilets.

Food service follows a small-ship rhythm: buffet breakfast every day, six three-course lunches, a welcome dinner and a Captain's Dinner on the standard weekly program. Menus mix Mediterranean, international and Croatian cooking. Dietary requirements should be declared before travel; the galley can make reasonable arrangements but cannot promise a completely allergen-free environment.

Cabin

Guest cabins occupy two decks and all are described as ensuite, independently air-conditioned and supplied by a fresh-air ventilation system. Standard-deck cabins have two portholes, while main-deck cabins have a window in the sleeping area and a bathroom porthole. The operator describes the rooms as soundproofed with fire-resistant doors; precise bed layout, dimensions and category availability remain booking-specific.

Published in-room equipment includes satellite LCD television, radio, safe, work surface, chair, mirror, bedside lights, hair dryer, 220 V outlets, wardrobe and under-bed luggage space. Each cabin also carries a life jacket and connects to the fire-alarm and cruise-manager announcement systems.

Daily cleaning is included. Bath towels are normally changed every second day and bed linen in the middle of the week. There is no passenger laundry service. Cabin size, stair access, window type, third-bed availability and solo-use supplement vary by category; confirm the exact room rather than relying on a generic photograph.

Diving and Water Activities

M/S Invictus is not a scuba-diving liveaboard. The operator does not advertise cylinders, compressors, a dive deck, equipment storage, dive guides, certification checks or organised dives. Scuba diving, rental equipment and dive insurance are therefore not included.

A certified guest who wants to dive would need to use an independent licensed shore centre during a sufficiently long port call. Transport, equipment and payment would be separate. Because weather, harbour congestion and the captain can change timing, no dive should be booked until Ambassador Travel confirms in writing that it fits the ship's schedule. The vessel will not wait for an unauthorised shore activity.

Guided snorkelling and loan equipment are not published inclusions either. Guests wishing to bring a mask and snorkel should ask about storage and local rules. The ship's tender is controlled by the crew and is not a general-purpose passenger boat.

The included marine activity is recreational swimming, when conditions permit. The captain selects safe bays and controls access from the stern platform and ladders. Deck showers allow guests to rinse afterward. Jumping overboard during navigation is prohibited. The Biševo Blue Cave visit uses a local excursion boat and is sightseeing—not cave diving or free swimming; entry can be cancelled by waves.
