Small Ship Cruises in Croatia
Enjoy the views of the impossible blue Adriatic Sea on board our small ship cruises in Croatia. This kind of island hopping is a great way of exploring the gorgeous Dalmatian islands and coastal towns without having to change hotels. In these typical Croatian ships function as boutique hotels with capacity for up to 40 passengers, who are accommodated in 19 cabins. Each has a private bathroom and is air-conditioned. Forget about the large and massive cruise ships where you have to share space with hordes of other noisy travellers. What we offer is a more private cruise experience. There are six crew members on board taking care of your comfort and safety.
To make your browsing easier, we have divided all cruise itineraries into two main categories:
The range of small cruise ships in our offer is truly wide. They are divided into ➨ five categories (from modest traditional wooden ships to very luxurious vessels). They all include half board service (breakfast and lunch or dinner). Additional services included (guided tours, transfers arrival and departure, wine tasting, …) depend on a chosen category.
Most of our Adriatic cruises have regular departures every Saturday between May and October, but some also leave ports on Wednesday or Sunday. Majority focuses on the popular southern Dalmatian islands (Hvar, Brač, Mljet, …), but we also offer cruises to less known northern islands (Kvarner Bay and Kornati archipelago).
Check out departures from the following ports:
➨ Dubrovnik
➨ Split (and nearby Omiš and Trogir)
➨ Zadar
➨ Opatija (or Rijeka and Poreč)
Below is the list of all small ship cruises in Croatia that we offer. We realise there are a lot of them and you might feel a bit confused. Don’t worry, email us at ➨ info@ekorna.net and our friendly agents will be happy to help you. Let us know when would you like to take a cruise and your approximate budget range. We will check the availability and find the one that most suits your criteria.
With us you can book individual cabins or charter the whole ship. In case you are travelling with a group of friends or family members, you can also choose to book a private gulet or a sailboat.
In addition to regular itineraries we also offer a whole range of special Adriatic cruises (hiking and biking cruises of different difficulty levels, relaxing yoga and gastronomy cruises, gay cruises and party boats for young crowds). There’s something for everyone!
IMPORTANT NOTE about departures and arrivals to Split on Saturdays: This year (2025) they will be exceptionally to/from the Baotic Marina in Trogir, due to the renovation of the establishment. We ask for your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience.
