One of the best ways to discover the hidden gems off Croatia’s magnificent Adriatic coast is on a luxury small cruise ship.

 

These are owned and operated by family-run enterprises and captained by local experts who know the deepest secrets of the sea. A variety of routes and charters are available that cover the iconic port cities, from Zadar to Dubrovnik, and the exquisite islands in-between. We can arrange a private charter just for your family multi-generational group, a bunch of close friends, or corporate event.

​

If you have more time for a longer trip, we can help you design a more in depth visit of Croatia and add on a few nights before and/or after the cruise. Croatia is also a wonderful gateway to other countries in Europe and can easily be combined with neighboring Balkan countries, Italy and more.
