Rovinj Pula

Croatia, as a Mediterranean country, has a rich seafaring history. Over 1000 islands and rocky reefs make up the archipelago’s on the Dalmatian coast, necessitating a past of masterful seafaring. Initially wooden sailing ships were used for fishing and the transporting of goods between the islands and the Croatian mainland. With continued improvement of vessels in the area, sails were replaced with diesel engines and boats continued to grow in size.

The Right Value for the Right Price

With over 21 years of experience in Croatia, our work reflects our passion.

Our journeys are designed to prioritise your comfort and individual needs.

We know everybody travels differently, and we cater to your needs as an individual and as a global adventurer, whether you are travelling solo or with friends and family. As a team of travellers ourselves, we understand your expectations and are waiting to go above and beyond to meet them.

If you are looking for a package built around freedom, our highlight cruises present you with the opportunity to make those little spontaneous choices that make travel such a joy. For those more inclined towards an adventure, we offer active cruises. Hike or pedal each port for just a few hours or for the majority of your stay.

Dubrovnik

Korcula

An embarkation point for many of our cruises, Dubrovnik stands tall as a highlight of Croatia. Dubrovnik is a city built on the beauty of stonework, both that of the limestone pavement on the main street of Stradun and the fortified city walls surrounding the Old Town. Known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”, Dubrovnik offers both old and new in its medieval architecture and cable car vantage points. Bursting with palaces and museums, this is a destination of discovery and elegance. Picturesque monasteries and churches intermingle with forts and gates built into the lifelines of the city, creating classic 13th century vistas wherever you turn.

A picturesque island, Korcula contains one of the most impressively preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean and is an unforgettable experience on all of our cruises. Korcula Town, often referred to as “Little Dubrovnik”, has similar architectural hallmarks as Dubrovnik in its timeless city walls and enchanting antiquated streets. Sights such as St. Mark’s Cathedral and customs including moreska, a traditional sword dance, are part of the rich cultural tapestry that makes Korcula so unique. Believed by some to be Marco Polo’s place of birth, Korcula is home to more legends, stories and monuments than anywhere else on the Dalmatian coast.

Bisevo

Hvar

A brand new destination making its debut in our Best of Dalmatia and Deluxe Dalmatia cruises, Bisevo is an unparalleled destination of unblemished splendour. Situated southwest of the island of Vis, Bisevo is a small addition to the central Dalmatian archipelago. Though sometimes overlooked, Bisevo is home to the Blue Cave, a hidden jewel of natural beauty known throughout the Adriatic. Blue Cave is named for the cerulean glow that permeates the cave when natural light reflects off the white sand seabed, creating an ephemeral experience and a magnificent photo opportunity.

A destination you’ll experience on all our cruises, Hvar is a perfect blend of good taste and revitalising pleasure. An island of consistent climate and gorgeous vistas, this is a landscape of contrast – plush lavender fields beside winding vineyards, gradients of black pine woods and white stoned bays. Hvar Town is a centre of great natural beauty and a rich cultural history. From the Renaissance theatre, the oldest public theatre in Europe, to the majesty of the Franciscan Monastery, the town has much to offer in the way of historical wonder. When the sun goes down, however, Hvar Town transforms into a hub of glamorous nightlife, with a variety of bars and restaurants open late enough to satisfy even the most demanding night owl.

Brac

Split

Featured in many of our itineraries, Brac is a paradise of smooth, curling shores and rocky inland peaks. With an economic focus on wine and olives, the island offers a quality selection of traditional cuisine at its various taverns and eateries. Home of the iconic Zlatni Rat – or Golden Horn – beach, the old town of Bol is famous as one of the most naturally idyllic places to swim and windsurf in Croatia. The settlement of Pucisca, on the other hand, is celebrated for its spectacular building style, particularly in the design of its gorgeous white stone houses. A stonemasonry school now serves as one of the area’s most fascinating highlights.

A haven of Roman architecture, Split is the second largest city in Croatia and an embarkation point for many of our cruises. Though a centre of transport for travellers heading out to nearby islands or heading inland for the region’s rivers and lakes, the city itself is no mere stopover. The UNESCO World Heritage Diocletian’s Palace forms the heart of the city and is a major attraction for travellers, photographers, and the history-inclined alike. Built from stone imported from Brac, the ruins of the palace contain the heart of the city and give it a unique visual character, making it a gorgeous sight when approaching from the sea.

Plitvice

Zagreb

An oasis of cool waters and lush greenery, Plitvice Lakes National Park is an essential cruise-tour destination made up of 16 terraced lakes connected by a series of breathtaking waterfalls. Proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, this hinterland haven features lakes divided into upper and lower groups. With a range of colours and sizes, this collection of pools is positioned in fertile forestland populated by an array of flora and fauna, including over 150 bird species. This destination is a once in a lifetime marvel of natural wonder.

As Croatia’s capital, Zagreb stands as landmark of new and old cultural arts and is the departure point for our ‘Capital to Coast’ cruise-tour. The sightseeing opportunities in this city are as countless as the multi-coloured tiles adorning the Gothic roof of St Mark’s Church, presenting the adventurous traveller with a wealth of churches, cathedrals, and museums. The imposing twin spires of the Assumption Cathedral rise above the skyline as an ever-present beacon of human achievement. From the historic Upper Town to the artistic Lower Town – the Heart of Zagreb – there’s something open for the enjoyment of every traveller.

Cruise Croatia Your Way Whether you are travelling with your companion, a group of friends or going it alone, it’s your particular travel style that will determine your holiday. We have categorised our cruises to help you select the right choice for your cruise along Croatia’s coastline. Interested in just the HIGHLIGHTS, stress-free and fully INCLUSIVE or maybe a combination of relaxing and ACTIVE cruising - the choice is yours:

INCLUSIVE For those looking for carefree luxury, our inclusive cruises include all tours, port taxes, entrance fees and transfers. That’s not to say that all choices are made for you – there’s daily opportunity for you to go out and explore and enjoy your choice of local cuisine at each port at your own discretion. We even have a cruise that includes gratuities, but there are still plenty of cruise options for those who prefer to do their own tipping. With our inclusive tours, we’ve set the scene. All you need to worry about is enjoying your adventure.

HIGHLIGHT We’ve set up the big experiences – the little things are up to you. With selected basic touring in some of Croatia’s most popular locations, our highlight cruises serve to showcase the best of the region to travellers with spontaneity in their heart. Beyond the basic touring, additional tours can be purchased locally, allowing you to choose exactly which extras you want to experience and which you’d rather skip for a few extra hours in crystal waters or wandering the cobbled streets. With these cruises, each port is your playground.

ACTIVE Sometimes the journey is in the destination itself. For those who like to reinvigorate themselves through travel, we offer a selection of active cruises that focus on your vitality. Follow in the footsteps of locals and go off the beaten track with our Cruise and Hike options, or put foot to pedal and fly through your destinations with our Cruise and Cycle tours. We also offer yoga cruises, giving travellers the chance to experience their destinations through bare feet and crisp air. No matter which way you want to explore, our aim is to assist you in having an unforgettable experience.

YOUNG & FUN A youthful heart desires a specific kind of exhilaration. We invite under 35’s to join us to explore historic cities by day and discover their nightlife after sunset, with plenty of time for rest and relaxation in between. Discover each port’s unique identity and flavour with the rest of your shipmates. Your cruise takes place on a traditional wooden Category A Vessel, complete with en-suite cabins for your comfort. Common areas on the boat encourage you to get to know your fellow passengers and share the highlights of your trip. With our Young & Fun cruise, the Adriatic is your oyster.
