Discover Croatia and other immersive destinations on a small ship cruise journey
​*with optional pre or post land journeys*

Picture

​
​For those looking for a more authentic experience, away from the well-worn travel routes in an intimate atmosphere with fewer passengers, small ship cruising will fit the bill. It has little in common with those massive ships that are more like floating hotels. You’ll sail on a sleek, yacht-like vessel with the ability to reach those fabulous uninhabited islands and tiny, out of the way ports, discovering those true hidden gems.

Cruises typically accommodate 38-100 guests, depending on the destination and the ship, allowing the crew to provide a more personal experience. Stops are often made in secluded bays for swimming the crystal-clear blue waters as well as for exciting excursions on land.

While these vessels may be small, there is plenty to do while onboard, from relaxing on a comfy lounger surrounded by the scenery to taking advantage of luxurious amenities like a Jacuzzi. Your evenings can be spent socializing with your fellow passengers and instead of dining at a buffet with the same food you could eat back home, you’ll be able to sample the local fare at each new port.

​*If you’d like to spend time on land too, we can easily create tailor-made pre- or post-tours, or offer a wide range of suggested extension options.

Our Recommendation: Discover the Adriatic on board a Luxury Ship

Picture


Croatia’s magnificent coast and more than 1,200 islands make it a place made for cruising. While there are multiple big-ship cruises that will bring you here, for a more intimate experience that allows you to get to know the stories behind the destinations, you’ll want to board one of our elegant small cruising ships.

Our Croatian cruise experts have created a wide range of itineraries based on firsthand knowledge of the region, with a crew that provides exceptional personalized service while sailing on a hand-selected, luxury vessel. The ships are some of the newest around, allowing you to travel in style and comfort while enjoying plenty of luxuries.

Guests spend more time in each destination, exploring island gems and historic towns, taking part in outdoor adventures, and enjoying delicious, freshly prepared meals. In between visiting beloved spots that include everything from ancient walled cities to postcard-perfect beaches and family-run wineries, you’ll be able to take advantage of swim stops to leap into the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. Snorkeling, paddling, rafting, and even truffle hunting are just some of the possible activities.

​And, at the end of each day, you’ll return to a well-appointed, en-suite cabin for a peaceful night’s rest.
