Croatian Deluxe Superior Ships
Split to Split
Overview
Small ship cruises along the charming Croatian coastline and islands on the new and lavishly designed, fully air-conditioned vessels with spacious en-suite cabins. This is the most popular cruise route in Croatia, and on the most luxurious vessels available. The small ports and harbours on Croatia's islands and coast limit the size of vessel that can enter to approx 50 metres in length, so vessels any larger cannot access most of the port we visit on this cruise. Itinerary includes exciting gastronomical and sightseeing experiences and visits to Split, Korčula, Mljet, Dubrovnik, Trstenik, Hvar and Bol. No additional fees on arrival except gratuities!
