Life aboard a Luxury Yacht in Croatia
My passion for Croatia and the Adriatic region shines through in my firsthand experiences and deep expertise. I’ve explored this breathtaking destination extensively, gaining insight into its culture, coastlines, and cuisine. As a Croatia travel advisor specializing in yacht charters and cultural travel, I design unforgettable journeys tailored to your interests and travel style.
After sailing the Adriatic on a luxury yacht through Croatia’s islands, I can confidently say it’s one of the most extraordinary ways to see this country. My journey included Dubrovnik, Split, and Trogir, plus the islands of Hvar, Brac, and Korcula - with private wine tastings, olive oil experiences, and locally guided tours that I now curate for my clients.
Croatia isn’t only about the sea. I also plan custom land-based Croatia itineraries, from the vibrant streets of Zagreb and the waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes to neighboring gems like Montenegro, Albania, and Slovenia. As a Preferred Agent with Via Croatia, I have access to private guides, boutique hotels, and behind-the-scenes experiences you won’t find online.
Whether you’re dreaming of a Croatia yacht charter, a culinary trip through the Adriatic, or a multi-country Central Europe adventure, I’ll handle every detail to make your journey seamless, immersive, and unforgettable.

Germany Reunion
Reviewed By Steve E - Long Beach, CA | Traveled to Germany | Europe
I just wanted to say thank you once again for all your help putting our reunion together. It was an incredible trip. So great to meet up with old friends. We even went and found the houses we lived in. We recreated a picture with Conway, Geoff and me standing front of one of the houses. We ended the reunion by making a pact to do it again in two years. Not sure where we will end up, but we will definitely keep you in mind. The extra time in Munich was spectacular. Getting to see Neuschwanstien was a dream come true for me. Thank you again!
Marnie Constance responded
"I’m so glad your reunion was such a special experience! Love that you revisited old memories and created new ones, especially with Munich and Neuschwanstein. It was a joy helping plan this trip, and I’d be honored to assist with the next one."

Can't say enough amazing things about Marnie!!
Reviewed By JodiB - Clarksburg, MD | Traveled to Europe
I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Marnie and MJ Elite Travel! From the very beginning, she listened carefully to what we wanted out of our trip and made sure every detail was perfectly planned. She even added special touches along the way, like letting our hotels know it was my daughter’s graduation trip, which made the whole experience even more memorable.
Marnie took care of everything—our trains, transfers, tour information, and more—so we never had to stress about logistics. Her deep knowledge of all the places we visited in Europe made our travels smooth and gave us experiences we would never have found on our own. Every step of the way, she went above and beyond, ensuring our trip was seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable.
She is also incredibly responsive and caring, always making sure we felt supported before and during our travels. That kind of peace of mind is priceless.
If you’re considering a getaway or the vacation of a lifetime, I highly recommend MJ Elite Travel. Marnie is professional, passionate, and truly makes travel dreams come true!

Fabulous San Diego Trip
Reviewed By ZZ PSP - Palm Springs, CA | Traveled to San Diego ~ California ~ USA
We purchased tickets to attend a show in San Diego with four friends and were in need of hotel accommodations.
I contacted Marnie at MJ Elite Travel to book our hotel rooms and requested restaurant recommendations. She booked us in the U.S. Grant Hotel, which is a 5-star property and only a five-minute walk to the theater. When we checked in at the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Marnie had upgraded us and our friends to Junior Suites. However, due to a minor issue with our suite, the hotel manager upgraded us to the Penthouse at no additional charge.
Marnie also offered several dining recommendations within walking distance of the hotel, allowing us to plan our meals without any added stress.
Our friends and I were highly impressed with the service provided by Marnie at MJ Elite Travel!

An Amazing Vacation!
Reviewed By PALM SPRINGS TRAVELERS - Palm Springs, CA | Traveled to Europe
We wanted to spend the Christmas / New Year Holidays in Europe, so we contacted MJ Elite Travel.
Marnie started by asking us questions, such as our desired destinations, travel dates, accommodation needs, and budget. After discussing these details, Marnie recommended an 8-day Viking Cruise from Budapest, Hungary to Passau, Germany. She proposed a detailed itinerary that aligned with our travel dates and budget.
She then handled all the hotel / transfers bookings, including securing our flights. She booked us on business class seats with Lufthansa Airlines from Los Angeles (LAX) on Swiss Airlines from LAX to Zurich (ZRH) to Budapest (BUD).
We were highly impressed by Marnie's proactive approach and her ability to quickly resolve the flight cancellation issue. Her attention to detail and exceptional customer service made planning our European holiday a seamless experience.

Croatia Yacht Charter
Embarking on a recent luxury yacht charter in Croatia was a dream, starting with a two-night stay in the historic gem of Dubrovnik. Picture savoring a farm-to-table feast at Konoba Maha in Korcula, where every bite was a celebration of local flavors. Then, imagine the pleasure of wine tasting in the heavenly vineyards of Hvar.

Worth Every Penny!
We had MJ Travel book a food tour with a local in Venice, and a boat tour to Murano, Burano, and Torcello. WORTH EVERY PENNY!! Our guide on the food tour told us how to avoid tourist traps and took us to truly authentic establishments. Our guide for the boat tour was enjoying the tour as much as we were. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
