The imposing and powerful city walls, numerous palaces and villas of former noble families, fascinate every visitor.

Need to know

NEED TO KNOW:

This is a luxury ship cruise. See also our other small ship cruises in Croatia or opt for a private luxury cruise.

Small ship cruises in the Adriatic are a very popular way to explore Croatian islands and coastal towns without having to change hotels. Our luxury vessels are very different from large cruise ships as there are only approximate 15 to 20 cabins for up to 40 guests. In the afternoon the ship usually docks in the port of the visited island/town so that the passengers can enjoy free time to explore it on their own, go swimming or have dinner in one of the local restaurants.

This small ship cruise has departures every Saturday between April and October. There is also a few Wednesday departures. Check with our agents all the available dates.
