CHEF
Ivan Klismanic

When you step on board Tajna Mora and Ivan greets you with a warm smile and perhaps your first taste of something delicious, you’ll instantly know you’re in great hands and that your holiday has truly begun. As the Chef on board, Ivan believes that food is one of the most genuine ways to connect with guests-through authentic flavours, creativity, and care. His philosophy is simple :every dish should make feel guests appreciated and at home. After graduating from hospitality school and gaining experience in various bars and restaurants, Ivan wanted to take his passion to the next level. Life at sea offered him the perfect balance-the chance to meet new people around the world and to showcase traditional Mediterranean cuisine in his own way. Unlike in busy restaurants, life aboard Tajna Mora allows him to prepare each meal with patience and dedication, tailoring the experience to every guest individually. Now, after six years on board, Ivan has become an essential part of the Tajna Mora family. When he’s not in the galley crafting something special, he enjoys spending time with his family and staying active-especially playing football, his favourite sport.
