Věrnostní program Adriagate byl zaveden s cílem povzbudit stávající zákazníky Adriagate k provádění více rezervací prostřednictvím Adriagate s využitím dárkových poukazů a mnoha dalších výhod, jako jsou flexibilnější možnosti zrušení rezervace.

Dárkový poukaz je důležitou součástí věrnostního programu Adriagate a může mít hodnotu od 50 eur do 150 eur. Zákazník Adriagate může obdržený dárkový poukaz použít ke snížení ceny své rezervace.

Není povoleno předávat dárkové poukazy dalším osobám

Dárkový poukaz bohužel můžete použít pouze při rezervaci ubytování (ubytování v soukromí nebo vily) prostřednictvím webových stránek Adriagate.

Dárkový poukaz můžete využít take v příštím roce v souladu s pravidly aktivace dárkového poukazu.

Při jedné rezervaci není možné kombinovat více než jeden dárkový poukaz, ale věrnostní dárkový poukaz lze kombinovat s naší slevou za doporučení z našeho programu doporučení.

Existují tři různé částky poukazů, které může zákazník obdržet v závislosti na hodnotě své rezervace. Nejnižší částka voucheru je 50 euro, která je poskytována klientům s minimální hodnotou rezervace 500 euro. Klienti s minimální hodnotou rezervace 1 000 euro získají 100 euro a klienti s minimální hodnotou rezervace 1 500 euro dostávají poukaz v hodnotě 150 euro.

Dárkový poukaz v průběhu času ztrácí na hodnotě. U rezervací provedených do 31. prosince téhož roku si voucher zachovává svoji plnou hodnotu. U rezervací provedených do 31. března následujícího roku si dárkový poukaz ponechá 50% své hodnoty. U rezervací provedených od 31. března následujícího roku si dárkový poukaz ponechá 30% své hodnoty.

Dárkový poukaz si zachovává svou plnou hodnotu pro členy stříbrného a zlatého věrnostního program.

Abyste mohli obdržet dárkový poukaz, musíte mít u Adriagate alespoň jednu předchozí rezervaci ubytování. Slevu za doporučení však můžete získat i jako zcela nový zákazník v rámci programu doporučení.

Pokud jste dříve u Adriagate neměli zrealizovanou rezervaci, dárkový poukaz obdržíte jeden měsíc po skončení Vaší dovolené, nikoli před plánovanou dovolenou.

Pokud má vaše nová rezervace nižší hodnotu, než je ta, která je nutná k uplatnění celé částky dárkového poukazu, budete moci uplatnit slevu v souladu s pravidly aktivace dárkového poukazu.

Příklad: V případě, že jste za Vaši poslední rezervaci obdrželi poukaz na 100 euro a nová rezervace má hodnotu nižší než 1000 euro, v takovém případě budete moci využít 50 euro z dárkového poukazu, protože do této kategorie spadají částky nižší než 1000 euro.

Pokud zrušíte rezervaci, na kterou jste uplatnili dárkový poukaz, poukaz již není platný a nelze jej použít pro další rezervaci. Zrušení rezervace je zpracováno v souladu s podmínkami Adriagate.

Abyste mohli obdržet dárkový certifikát, musíte mít alespoň jednu předchozí rezervaci ubytování u Adriagate v minimální hodnotě 500 euro.

Dárkový poukaz je poslán e-mailem všem klientům s minimální hodnotou rezervace 500 euro měsíc po skončení pobytu.

Existují tři druhy členství: základní, stříbrné a zlaté s různými výhodami. Další informace najdete na webových stránkách Adriagate Loyalty.

Se stříbrným nebo zlatým členstvím máte flexibilnější storno podmínky s možností bezplatného zrušení až 60 dnů (stříbrné členství) nebo 45 dnů (zlaté členství) před plánovaným začátkem rezervace.

Všichni členové mohou kombinovat věrnostní dárkový poukaz se slevami z programu doporučení. Členové ze stříbrné a zlaté kategorie získavají další slevy a slevu 10% pokud se rozhodnou rezervovat jakoukoli jinou službu z nabídky Adriagate, jako je zapůjčení automobilu, plavba lodí nebo transfer.

Neexistují žádné členské poplatky, každý, kdo si někdy rezervoval ubytování prostřednictvím Adriagate v minimální hodnotě 500 euro, se automaticky stává členem věrnostního programu.

Ne, obrdžený dárkový poukaz lze použít pouze na jednu rezervovanou ubytovací jednotku.

Sleva z dárkového poukazu se vztahuje pouze na cenu samotného ubytování bez všech ostatních poplatků a daní, jako je pobytová taxa nebo poplatek za domácího mazlíčka, pokud nejsou zahrnuty ve standardní ceně ubytování.

Ne, sleva z vašeho dárkového poukazu zůstává platná, pokud změníte termín rezervace a pokud vlastník souhlasí se změnou data.

Dárkový poukaz si můžete ponechat, pokud změníte ubytovací jednotku, ale pouze v souladu s pravidly aktivace dárkového poukazu, což znamená, že pokud je vaše nové ubytování levnější než původně rezervované, budete moci použít pouze částku dárkového poukazu definovanou pravidly pro aktivaci poukazu.

Program doporučení Adriagate je nově zavedený program, jehož cílem je povzbudit stávající i nové zákazníky Adriagate k propagaci nebo rezervaci služeb Adriagate a tím získat propagační slevy, které lze využít ke snížení ceny jejich rezervace ubytování.

Jedná se o 5% slevu, kterou promotér obdrží poté, co alespoň jeden z jeho kontaktů potvrdí rezervaci prostřednictvím webových stránek Adriagate a během rezervace uvede jméno nebo e-mailovou adresu promotéra.

Jedná se o 5% slevu, kterou kontakt obdrží jako součást programu doporučení Adriagate poté, co kontakt provede rezervaci prostřednictvím webových stránek Adriagate pomocí referenčního kódu, který mu byl zaslán promotérem.

Adriagate Promotor je nový nebo stávající zákazník Adriagate, který přeposlal e-mail obsahující referenční kód na jeden nebo více svých kontaktů, přičemž alespoň jeden z kontaktů provedl rezervaci prostřednictvím Adriagate, po níž promotér obdrží automatickou slevu ve výši 5%, kterou bude moci využít při příští rezervaci.

Promotérem se mohou stát noví i stálí zákazníci Adriagate, pokud jeden nebo více jejich kontaktů provede rezervaci pomocí referenčního kódu, který jste zaslali po zadání svého jména nebo e-mailové adresy během procesu rezervace, automaticky se stanete promotérem a získáte 5% slevu.

Ano, promotér může poslat doporučující email s kódem Adriagate na tolik kontaktů, kolik chce.

Ano, promotér může získat neomezený počet slev. Promotér obdrží promotivní slevu ve výši 5% za každou potvrzenou rezervaci zrealizovanou jeho kontakty.

Ano, promotér může kombinovat více slev na jednu ze svých rezervací, což znamená, že může výrazně snížit částku své vlastní rezervace.

Promotér automaticky obdrží propagační slevu ve výši 5% za každou úspěšnou rezervaci provedenou alespoň jedním z jeho kontaktů prostřednictvím Adriagate, kde kontakt během rezervace vložil jméno nebo emailovou adresu promotéra.

Kontakt je nový uživatel Adriagate, který obdržel email s doporučovacím kódem od promotéra a nakonec si zarezervoval ubytování prostřednictvím webových stránek Adriagate pomocí doporučovacího kódu, čímž získal 5% slevu na celou částku rezervace.

Ano, ale ne sám sobě. To znamená, že kontakt je nový klient Adriagate, který od promotéra obdržel email s doporučovacím kódem a provedl rezervaci. Stejný kontakt může přeposlat stejná emailová doporučení ostatním kontaktům, a pokud alespoň jeden z nových Kontaktů provede rezervaci, získá původní kontakt také 5% slevu na ubytování, ale tuto propagační slevu nelze kombinovat s 5% slevou, kterou kontakt získá na nové rezervaci.

Jednorázovou slevu za doporučení ve výši 5% můžete získat jako kontakt, který se vztahuje na plnou hodnotu rezervace ubytování provedené prostřednictvím Adriagate pomocí referenčního kódu, který vám zašle promotér.

Ano, můžete je kombinovat.

Pokud si kontakt zarezervuje více ubytovacích jednotek prostřednictvím stejné emailové adresy, získá stejnou sleva 5% pro každou rezervovanou jednotku, protože se to považuje za individuální rezervaci, která odkazuje na stejnou emailovou adresu.

Ne, promotér může využít své slevy pouze na jednu rezervaci.

Ne

Sleva z programu doporučení se vztahuje pouze na cenu ubytování se vším, co zahrnuje. Sleva se odečte od ceny ubytování, bez dalších poplatků za pobytovou taxu nebo jiných poplatků, které nepředstavují hlavní cenu ubytování.

Pokud kontakt zruší svou rezervaci, promotér, který na základě tohoto kontaktu dostal slevu, ztrací nárok na tuto konkrétní slevu.

Promoterská sleva, kterou dostává promotér zůstává aktivní, pokud má kontakt alespoň jednu aktivní rezervaci spojenou s jeho emailem. Kontakt si naopak ponechá 5% slevu na rezervaci, která zůstala aktivní, zatímco u ostatních zrušených rezervací se postupuje dle všeobecných storno podmínek.

Pokud promotér zruší rezervaci, sleva promotéra použitá při rezervaci se stává neplatnou a již ji nelze znovu použít na jinou rezervaci. Při zrušení rezervace se postupuje v souladu se všeobecnými podmínkami Adriagate.

Sleva zůstává platná déle než 12 měsíců, pokud po předchozí dohodě s majitelem rezervaci převedete na pozdější termín.

Slevy jsou platné po dobu 12 měsíců od data vydání slevy.

All our ships are motor ships made of wood or iron. Ships differ in size, shape, equipment and comfort. Descriptions for all ships can be found on our webpage.
Some of the ships in our fleet are more than one hundred years old and that refers to only the name and shape of the hull. During the reconstruction and repair all planks are replaced as well as all screws and nails. One thing that all of the ships have in common is that they are unlike large cruise ships, which makes them more intimate and laid back.

Ship owners are mostly the captains.  This job is a part of their family tradition, so usually the crew members are part of the family and some families own a few ships.
How many crew members work on a ship?
Depending on its size of the ship there are usually five crew members who are usually the captain, chef, waiter and sailors.

At least one crew member is able to communicate in English or another foreign language. You will be introduced to all of your crew members when you arrive on the ship at your welcome speech given by a cruise representative.

Each route offers specific ships or categories of ships. Some routes already have preconfirmed ships while other routes have a specific ship category. If you wish to be on a specific ship (pictures and descriptions can be seen on our web page) but you do not know on which route it is scheduled to go on, we kindly ask you to express your wish to us while making a reservation. We will try to accommodate you on a specific ship, although sometimes we can’t completely guarantee the name of the ship due to possible group reservations. 

Standard category ships do not have bathrooms and showers in the cabin. The showers and toilets are located on the deck and shared by all passengers. The cabins have bunk beds (with minimal exceptions on certain ships).

Superior category ships have cabins with their own bathroom/ toilette and in most cases are bigger and more comfortable than standard category ships.  There is usually airconditioning in the cabin alleyway below deck.  Most Superior category ships used to be standard category ships before but then they were completely reconstructed with new cabins, decks and restaurant areas – adding bathroom facilities and more comfort in general. The cabins have mostly bunk beds (with some exceptions). Some lower bunks are actually double beds – and these are used as the triple cabins. We cannot guarantee double or twin beds but will make a note according to clients' wishes.

Premium category ships are more spacious and more comfortable then the Superior ships. The cabins are slightly bigger, beds are either twin or double (with some bunks), and have full air-condition throughout the ship and in the cabins. Air conditioning is limited when there is no electrical access and the ship is forced to run its power on generators. The generators are usually on until midnight and then are turned off due to the noise they generate. The Premium ships usually have 2 extra services provided free of charge. They include sightseeing of old town Dubrovnik or Split with English speaking guide and 1 captain’s dinner. This service is available on certain routes only and information can be found on the detailed route description on each rute.

Premium deluxe category ships are the highest in class offering space, luxury and comfort. Each cabin is spacious with an en suite bathroom. The cabins have individually controlled air conditioning. These ships are refined, dignified and geared to adults, couples, mature individuals and mature groups traveling together. Most of the cabins are based on twin share with twin beds, although some have double/queen and even king bed cabins available on certain ships. IThe sundeck area is much more spacious than our Premium ships with deck chairs to soak up the sun or just relax reading a book.

For those who seek a bit more privacy and comfort should choose Superior or Premium ships. The Standard ships are ideal for young people, groups of friends or different interest groups like alpinists, bikers and similar who don't mind sharing a small space for 7 days.

The number of persons on the ships varies from 20 to 40, depending on a size of the ship.

The guests on our cruises are mainly between 25 and 70 years old, sometimes even older. They  should be able to move without anyones assistance, especially due to narrow alleyways and steep stairs.
Our passengers are different age and nationality, although guests of English and German speaking areas predominate. On the Standard ships you can expect to find younger passengers like backpackers, while on Superior ships there is a mix of different age groups, couples and groups of friends and family. If you want to be accommodated on a ship with predominating age or nationality, we kindly ask you to note that to us while making a reservation. We try to group passengers on ships according to specific characteristic but that is not always possible.

 

There usually is. The bigger vessels have a canopied part at the stern on the main deck, apart from that, parts of the sundeck are protected by a canvas covers so there is shade aboard.

In the cabins on the lower deck, you will get fresh air through ventilation channels. Additionally, all cabins have got portholes which can be opened when the sea is calm. In the cabins on the main or upper deck, usually you can leave the cabin door a bit open and lock it in this position. Some cabins on the main or upper deck have an additional porthole.

Electricity and water are available on the boat, but in a limited capacity. All the ships have a generator for electricity that creates a certain level of noise, so it’s not turned on during the night or while the boat is docked in a peaceful bay. Water tanks have a capacityaccording to the numbers of cabins, actually number of beds on the ship, so there is always enough water for everyone, even if the tank isn’t filled each day. This is assuming water is used rationally. Ships also have a central heater or solar pads that ensure warm water. Please exercise caution when using electrical appliances such as hair dryers. Simultaneous use of more hair dryers can lead to a power outage.

Even though the tap water on board is of good quality, we would not recommend you drink it on board or anywhere on your route. 1 liter of bottled water is provided for you every day; further bottles are available for sale on the ship.

Everywhere in Croatia, standard European sockets are used (Type F) - 2 pins, grounded, 16 A, 220 V. Socket is compatible with plug types C, E & F.

Cabins offer enough places to sleep and the place for traveling bag. They're functional and mostly equipped with, unless otherwise specified in the description, two beds, little wardrobe or open shelf.
Each cabin is assigned based on the order of the reservations. Prior to your arrival bedding is changed meaning fresh and clean sheets.

The cabins are situated on deck and below deck. The main deck is the deck on which you step on as you embark the ship. There are also cabins on the upper deck (deck on top of the main deck). Cabins below deck are actually in the hull of the ship. Advantage of cabins situated on deck is the direct exit on sea and more fresh air. The cabins below deck are sometimes more quiet since only fellow passengers who booked below deck cabins will pass by and not all passengers on your ship or passengers from other ships when docked. The below deck cabins are comfortable because they're situated in a sea level that chills the cabins. On Superior ships the hallway is often air-conditioned which effects on the temperature in the cabin. Cabins below deck mostly have little portholes.

Your cabins are cleaned and bed linen is fresh before your arrival. On Superior and Premium category ships two towels per person are provided (Standard category ships do not have towels provided), however beachtowels are not provided, therefore we suggest you bring your own. The crew does not enter your cabin during the cruise, so you need to keep your cabin clean and tidy by yourself. The crew does not clean your toilets and bathrooms, other than those which are commonly used by all passengers onboard. It is possible to organize cleaning of your cabins at an extra price, but only upon request ahead of time.

On Premium and Premium deluxe ships the cabins are air conditioned (except sometimes after midnight when there is limited access to electricity). Other categories - cabins are not air conditioned, but salons and hallways below deck usually have air conditioning on Superior category ships. Air conditioners basically operate only when the engine or generator is operational or while the ship is hooked up to electricity at the harbor (extra fee will apply). When spending the night in isolated coves or small fishing towns that do not have electrical outlets the air conditioners are turned off since leaving the generator on would disturb the peace and quiet at night.

Lower deck cabins are in the hull of the vessel and they have a small porthole. According to the Croatian law and ship rules, during a navigation portholes need to be closed to avoid water to come inside a cabin. When a vessel is docked in the port, portholes can be open. On newer Premium Superior, Premium and Delux category vessels the portholes can not be opened.

Half board service includes breakfast and lunch. Depending on the route, some days the lunch can be replaced by dinner. There is always tea, coffee or a fruit juice served with breakfast.

Full board service includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is always tea, coffee or a fruit juice served with breakfast.

The food onboard is similar to traditional Croatian food. Breakfast is continental and consists of tea and coffee, fruit juice, bread, butter, jam, and eventually ham and cheese. If you want an English breakfast, it is possible to order it while making a cruise reservation or on the spot. Lunch is traditionally plentiful. Is consists of soup or pasta as starter, main dish with side dishes, salad and desert. Main meals on the ship consist mainly of soup, a meat or fish dish with a side dish and salad. Even though you are on a sea route and fish should be the main course, the majority of the meals consist of meat dishes. Side dishes are potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables. Dessert is fruit or cake. Dinner is not included because we encourage you to explore local restaurants. Our offer begins with dinner on the day our guests board the ship and end with breakfast on the day they leave the ship.

Each ship will offer vegetarian dishes however we ask that you point that out to us while you are making your reservation. Vegetarian dishes are not specially prepared dishes, but instead of meat more side dishes (vegetables) are offered. Special dietary dishes cannot be prepared.

Once a week the captain offers a "Captains dinner" which mostly consists of a fish menu, which is a chance for guests and the crew to gather in a ceremonial mood. If the Captains dinner is listed as being in the price of your booked cruise then you will have the Captains dinner alog with your regular breakfast and lunch. The "Captains dinner" can be ordered while making a reservation or you can arrange and pay for it on a spot.

Bringing your own drinks on the ship is not permitted. The salon is a restaurant, living room and bar all in one. Here you can always enjoy cold alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Naturally the cost of the beverages is somewhat higher than what you would pay if purchasing them in a store. Prices are similar to the price of drinks in coffee bars, taverns or restaurants on the coast. The prices are still lower than what you would pay at a hotel.

Drinks will be noted on your account, usually there is a list with passengers names next to the bar and it is paid at the end of the trip in cash. All drinks or additional costs on the ships can be paid in Kuna or Euro. Credit cards will not be accepted.

Upon your arrival at the port of embarkation, you will be welcomed by our representatives who will show you where to find your ship. Our luggage porters will help you to bring your luggage aboard.

Ships are docked in the Opatija harbor, at the Gruz harbor in Dubrovnik, at the ferry harbor in Split, at the Zadar harbor, Rijeka harbor (close to the central train and bus stations) and in Trogir over the pedestrian bridge.  Cruise representatives will be in harbour with the guest lists, ship names and cabin numbers. They are available to guests for all information during embarkation.

If arriving at the ports of Rijeka and Zadar by your own car, you can enter the port already from 10:00 am. Our Service Team will accompany you to the parking garage respectively the parking lot, and transfer you back to the port.

If arriving to the port of Trogir with your own car, you can approach our Check Point already from 10:00 am. Here, you will park your car, and our Service Team will transfer your luggage to the port.

Disembarking basically takes place on the last day by 9:00 am. The crew needs time in between disembarkment and boarding to prepare the cabins for the next group of guests so that they may be exactly as you found them a week or two ago.

Parking spots are mainly outside of the harbour's vicinity and you will be escorted to these spots by our cruise representatives. If you require a parking spot we ask that you please let us know when booking your cruise. In Rijeka, a parking garage is available – the fee is 360 kunas (approx. € 50) per week; in Zadar and Trogir parking fees are 300 kunas (approx. € 40) per week; in Dubrovnik, a public guarded parking is available in the port of Gruž – the fee is 50 kunas per day (approx. € 50 per week) and in Opatija and Split parking fees are 75 kunas per day (approx. 70€ per week). Parking fees are to be paid on-site, in local currency kuna (HRK).

Embarkation takes place between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm.
Embarkation is on Saturday by 1 p.m., except in Dubrovnik where embarkation takes place on Sundays from 12:00 pm to 18:00 pm. Cabins are ready for guests at about 12:30 although it is possible to come even earlier during the morning and leave baggage on the ship while the ship is still being cleaned. As soon as all guests are on board a welcome speech will be held after which we raise the anchor and head out to sea.

Guests will have to leave their cabins by 9 a.m. on Saturday/Sunday morning so that the crew can clean the ship for the next guests. Last meal is breakfast that morning.

Citizens of EU countries may enter Croatia using their national identity cards (if these exist) instead of a passport. Otherwise, passports are required to enter Croatia. However, please be aware that if you are planning on visiting Montenegro or Bosnia and Herzegovina a passport will be required. We recommend that you consult your local embasy or consulate for detailed information. If you are travelling by car you will need a green insurance card.

Sailing on one of our ships is truly a unique experience. However you may want to take into consideration certain unpredictable things which are common on ships. 
All the ships are equipped with life saving ships and life jackets which can be found under the beds in cabins or in marker wardrobe on deck or in the salon. If you are non – swimmer, we kindly ask you to inform us and the captain ahead of time.
During your stay on the ship you need to pay attention to the following: the steps are more narrow and steeper than what you are used to at home, the deck area can become extremely slippery after a rainfall or even due to morning dew.
It is strictly forbidden to climb on foremast, jump off the deck during sail or swimming far away from the ship during swimming time.
Due to the fact that wood is a live material that shrinks in high temperatures it is possible for water to enter the cabins following rain or bad weather. In any case we ask that you close the windows in your cabin during bad weather and close the port hole in a below deck cabin during sail.
We would also like to point out that during the high season, harbors can be very crowded and often ships are docked next to each other, so we kindly ask you to be very careful while you are going from one ship to another.  This is particularly important if taking place after alcohol consumption, as we or the captain cannot be held responsible for any consequences. Passengers are urged to exercise caution when jumping into the sea when the ship anchors during the swimming break, as well when climbing back on the ship, which can be dangerous for the person doing it and other passengers.

Ships are very acoustic and don’t have sound isolation, so it’s necessary to act according to that. Silence on ships officially begins after midnight.
Overnight stays are for the most part scheduled in bigger town ports (see route description). Since the ports are also every town’s beating heart, and since life in the Mediterranean countries during summer evenings is an outdoor affair (restaurants, cafés, taverns and terraces), ports tend to be lively during the evening and even night hours. Throughout July and August traditional public festivals are held in towns and villages along the coast. These can often go on until the early morning hours. The port of Rijeka, a lively place as it is, also featured a disco-ship during the summer from which one could hear music as late as breakfast time.
Music and the just the right atmosphere are common on most ships - the best parties happen spontaneously.
Should anyone own an instrument such as a guitar or harmonica, they are welcome to bring it with them on board.
Please note that we cannot take responsibility for the noise made in harbours on our ships or other ships at the harbor.

Most of the cruises are suitable for families, so you might find children on board. A cruise in any case presents a special experience for children. Due to particular circumstances on motor ships, however, we recommend our cruises to be taken only by children of school age that know how to swim. Children will be the first to discover new and exciting things on board, such as the many switches and levers at the helm, hoisting the sails or anchoring. Considering the dangers of an accident that are present, we kindly ask you to respect the rule of parental supervision and to remain attentive with regard to children.

Every ship is unique and as such the routes can also be unique. They mainly match the descriptions provided however there can be some variations. Some captains like to show off their favourite cove and sometimes certain ports may be too crowded particularly when at night a large number of ships dock at the same port. The places listed in the descriptions do not necessarily have to be overnight destinations. For example, you may have an opportunity to go sightseeing in the afternoon in one place and end up spending the night in a different port that was listed for the next day of the route. When the choice comes down to a port or a cove the captain usually lets the majority decide, in other words respecting the wishes of his/her guests. Sometimes the order of the route can be switched, for example on routes to islands Cres and Krk half of the ships will first head towards the island of Cres instead of the island of Krk and then continue the journey accordingly. Our routes are planned in such a way that it is easy to reach the day's destination under normal weather conditions - every captain is obligated to alter the route depending on the weather conditions, in other words, lengthen or shorten the time spent in ports. Ships’ timetables as per different routes can be viewed in the route descriptions.

Most of our ships sail their routes with the help of an engine - sailing is only an option when there are favourable winds. Although the conditions may vary from ship to ship, the sails are raised at least once during the week depending on the weather conditions and the ship. Some of the ships do not have sails.

The Adriatic has an abundance of fish and is ideal for fishing. You can bring your own fishing gear and fish from the ship itself or even from the mainland. Fishing requires a special license issued by tourist agencies or harbour/port management and special fees apply.

Our cruises follow the rule of minimum required number of passengers necessary for the cruise to be realised. If a certain cruise will not look likely to be realised due to insufficient number of passengers, you will be notified of this at least 21 days before the first day of the cruise. Of course, at the same time an alternative ship or route will be offered to you, depending on the availability.

On some routes the bicycle rental is included in the price of the sailing trip, however there are routes where bike rental is possible at an extra fee of 100€ per bike/per week. More information can be found on the route descriptions.
For your safety we suggest that wearing a helmet be mandatory. If you reserve a bicycle the helmet is free of charge and at your disposal. Should you wish to rent a bicycle, we ask that you please inform us ahead of time so that we may reserve both a bicycle and a helmet for you. Our bicycles are of the stable trekking type with aluminium frames, Shimano handlebars, lightweight cargo racks and bottle holders. Mountain-bikes are also aluminium made, with Shimano handlebars, front-wheel fenders and bottle holders. All bicycles are new or one season old. Bicycles are checked and maintained on a weekly basis (after each cruise) and completely renovated during the winter. It is possible for you to bring your own bicycle. Passengers are solely responsible for their bicycle.

Our bicycle routes cannot be compared to plains or flatlands. Our tours include uneven and partially mountainous areas, even steep uphill areas which require a certain level of fitness. These routes are for those people that go bicycle riding even when they are at home or are involved in any other sports activities. One must also take into consideration that the temperatures in Croatia are significantly higher than the temperatures you may be used to and that during the months of June and September temperatures can be higher than 30°C. We have created an altitude profile for all of our tours so as to give you an idea of the level of difficulty of the routes and certain portions of the routes.

Of course, you can book your cruise together, even if only one person participates in the bicycle tours. The “non-cycling” person may stay aboard during the bicycle routes. The cruise price won’t change, however.

Our active and hiking routes are adapted to the condition of average recreational hikers. The hiking time and altitude levels from ascents and descents can be seen in the cruise description photo gallery.

During our “bicycle” and “hike” cruises, tour guides are permanently aboard, to guide the bicycle and hiking tours. During the “regular” cruises, there are no guides aboard. Sightseeing tours and excursions as per itinerary, are guided by local guides.

Breakfast from 8:00 until 9:00 am, afterwards we weigh anchor and set sail. Around noon we will moor in a cove and have the occasion for a swim. At 1:00 pm, the captain will strike the bell for lunch. After lunch, there is plenty of time left for another swim or to have a snooze. In the afternoon, we will head for our today’s destination which we will reach in the late afternoon. The rest of the day is at your disposal – take a walk through the town, have a drink in a café, or stop for a bite to eat in one of the restaurants. The captain can also give you his recommendation if you like to have dinner aboard. Afterwards, you still have plenty of time for convivial gathering ashore or aboard.

This “typical day” is just an example. A lot depends on the exact itinerary of the route, respectively on personal demands of all guests during the cruise.

The descriptions of routes and altitude profiles are strictly informative and can sometimes vary from the actual route taken. This depends on various factors - in agreement with the participants, for example in the event of rain, certain routes can be shortened or in the event of extremely high temperatures a longer swimming break can be arranged. Depending on the physical condition of the participants our guides will recommend a more difficult or easier route. Sightseeing - for example admiring a monument or taking an extra break - which may not have previously been listed in the route description or altitude profile. Due to the fact that roads on the islands often pass above places there is always the possibility of additional uphill or downhill portions. It is also possible that certain observation points can only be reached on foot - in these cases walks will be incorporated.

The sojourn tax and local port fees are not included in our prices. The total amount of 21€ or 25€ per person/per week (depending on the route) is paid on the ship upon boarding. Some routes have port fees included in the price as listed on the detailed route description. Thr price does not include drinks on board (unless otherwise stated), transfer from/to airport (but can be booked ahead of time with us), car parking, entrances fees to national parks (unless otherwise stated), sightseeing (unless otherwise stated) and gratuities. Personal expences are not included.
Regularly the price includes your cabin for the duration of the cruise as well as half board service on the ship. More information can be found on the detailed route descriptions.

We always recommend our guests to purchase adequate travel insurance. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs.
Participate in bicycle tours/routes at your own risk – Adriagate.com is not responsible for any accidents or injuries that may occur during our cruises or bicycle tours. We recommend you take out travel insurance.

Once a reservation is confirmed any changes will be made in accordance with the general terms and conditions which you will receive by e-mail when making your reservation. A reservation change is possible if the change is requested more that 30 days prior to departure. If the change is possible and permitted a 20.00€ - 25.00€ fee will be charged. Changes made up to 30 days before departure will be considered as a reservation cancellation and cancellation costs will be applied.

Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance is strongly recommended!!

We suggest you take lighter clothes, shorts, T – shirts, bathing suits, sandals and similar, and a few long sleeved shirts, long pants or windbreaker for possible colder weather and breezy nights. Don’t forget your hat, sunglasses, sun screen and beach towels. If you are travelling on a Standard category ship bring personal towels as well since they will not be provided. In case you forget something, it is possible to buy summer clothes and equipment in most of the harbors. Due to the fact that the amount of space in the cabins is limited we recommend a travel bag or knapsack instead of a suitcase (especially hard suitcases which take up a lot of room). Although the ship is supervised by at least one crew member at all times, it may be wise for you to leave your valuables at home

Most of the ports have a luggage storage area at an extra cost where you can leave your additional baggage. We recommend you to check the size of your cabin before and then decide whether you would like to leave your baggage at the storage area at the harbour or bring it onboard. There is usually enough space under your bed to leave a suitcase.

Many of our guests consider sleeping on deck a unique experience in which they spend the night enjoying the fresh air beneath a Mediterranean sky full of stars. Of course there is enough room on the deck for everyone however you must bring your own sleeping bag or mat because you are not permitted to remove the mattress or bedding from your cabin.
