Price Guide:
€1,200 to €10,000. Luxury small ship coastal cruises
When to Travel:
April to October - during the summer months when sunlight hours are at a maximum and warm weather is in abundance. Note: August is generally the hottest and busiest time of the year.
Duration:
4-10 day itineraries, with the week-long Dubrovnik/Split being the most popular.
When to Book:
It's recommended to book more than 6 months in advance as dates book out quickly particularly for the peak period June - August.
Pre-/Post- Cruise Options:
There are many options to add on a Adriatic adventure such as the Greek Islands, Italian coast or Turkey. While it may already be on your itinerary, it could be worthwhile spending more time to explore Mljet National Park which covers 5,400 hectares of land and sea, and provides amazing opportunities for hiking, cycling and exploring
Other handy tips?
When considering your full itinerary, it’s worthwhile noting that the popular week-long Croatian voyages generally start on a Saturday and end on a Sunday
The euro is the currency of Croatia
Many operators will dock in town in the evening, allowing you visit local restaurants for dinner. Try local dishes like cevapi (grilled minced meat), pasticada (slow-cooked beef), and seafood along the coast
