Cruising Croatia is about so much more than ships and all the facilities onboard.
It’s about setting out on a truly memorable journey to one of the world’s most popular destinations.
Katarina Line is a leading DMC in Kvarner – Croatia and the premier small ship cruise company.
They offer weekly guaranteed departures from April to mid-October from the major tourist centres including; Opatija, Split and Dubrovnik, with a fleet of more than 60 vessels in six different vessel categories.
Katarina Line’s cruise or land itineraries give travellers the chance to explore the stunning natural environment and picturesque, quaint Mediterranean towns while hopping from one island to another.
This unique way of travelling is one of the most popular and easiest ways to experience true Croatia. With land and cruise programs, travellers get the opportunity to explore coastal and continental Croatia as well as neighbouring countries.
Katarina Line vessels cruise by day, providing spectacular views of the Croatian Riviera, hill-dotted island and pristine, unspoiled natural wonders. Dive in crystal-clear waters on daily swimming stops at secluded bays or world-famous beaches, and dock in historical towns just waiting to be discovered… by you.
Unlike bigger cruise liners with limited time in port, Katarina Line vessels dock right in the heart of even the smallest destinations, so guests can leave or re-embark the ship at their own will and explore UNESCO-protected sites, historical laneways and see the sights of major tourist centres.
Dining
The fully air-conditioned dining area accommodates all passengers at once, yet offer a degree of privacy for each guest. A portion of the dining area extends outdoors as a lounge area, offering sweeping panoramic views of the surroundings.
Katarina Line chefs carefully produce artistic local specialities prepared of fresh ingredients bought at local markets. The kitchen serves hot and cold buffet breakfast each morning and a three-course lunch in the early afternoon.
