CHOOSE A CABIN ACCORDING TO YOUR PREFERENCES<\/h1>\n
You need to make sure that the cabin you choose is the type of accommodation that you\u2019re looking for. Some people prefer to have a private cabin all to themselves, while others don\u2019t mind saving some money and sharing a room with other passengers. Different types of cabins will affect the pricing and cruising experience. Therefore, be sure to consult with our travel agents about the features of each cabin so you opt for an option that best suits your travel style.<\/p>\n

Most cruising tours in Croatia depart from Split, Dubrovnik, Trogir, Zadar and Opatija<\/strong> and these are considered to be the most famous and frequent ports. We would advise to browse through some of the top destinations in Croatia a bit and look for things you would like to do so you can choose the route accordingly.<\/p>\n Most cruises will include visits to islands off the coast of Dalmatia province in the southern part of Croatia. Vis, Hvar, Brac, Korcula, and Mljet are the most popular islands for tourists. Most cruise trip planners plan their routes according to popular demand, which means that you will likely get to stop by.<\/p>\n Everyone has their own preferences and expectations when it comes to a cruise, so you have to make sure that you choose the one with activities and a theme that suits you. Some people look for a journey with a young and exciting crew, so they may decide to join our young & fun crew<\/strong><\/a> or one of our active cruises, while others might be inspired by Croatian rich heritage and decide to go with nature and culture cruise<\/a> <\/strong>option. Moreover, there are also gay<\/strong><\/a>, nudist<\/strong><\/a>, one-way cruises<\/strong><\/a>, and delux cruises<\/strong><\/a> and it is up to you to decide which travel style suit you best. Keep in mind that no matter which option you choose rest assured that the top tourist attractions and best-known travel destinations are included within the itineraries and therefore you will have a chance to discover a very large part of Croatia within 3\/ 7\/ 14 days, depending on the route duration of your preference.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re on board, you need to follow the instructions of the skipper, the captain, and the crew to ensure that you can make the most out of the experience while staying safe. If you\u2019re traveling with children, you always need to keep them in sight, especially if it\u2019s their first time on a cruise ship.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re an inexperienced swimmer, you shouldn\u2019t go too far from the ship if it stops for an open water swim. As a rule, you should keep around 400 meters distance around the ship. Additionally, if the trip includes a hike on the islands, you need to bring hiking shoes to avoid cuts and bruises.<\/p>\n There are various ways of getting to Croatia. You can, of course, do so by air, bus, train, car and ferry and your mode of transport may well depend on the country you\u2019re travelling from and its proximity to Croatia.<\/p>\n There are many direct flights from France (at least, in summer) to almost all of the major airports in Croatia. Luckily for all cruise lovers out there, the major airport cities happen to be the starting point of various cruises. As stated above, the major cruise ports are Rijeka, Split, Zadar and Dubrovnik which can easily be reachable by direct flights. The only two cruise ports that do not offer direct flight connections are Trogir and Opatija. Beware that Trogir is just 40 km from Split and Opatija just 14 km drive from Rijeka so both ports can easily be accessible either by bus or rent a car or a private transfer after you land. Kindly note the list of direct and 1+ stopover flights to major cruise ports\/airlines:<\/p>\n Direct flights to Split<\/a><\/strong> 1+ stopover flights to Rijeka<\/a><\/strong> Flights To Zadar<\/a><\/strong> Flights To Dubrovnik<\/a><\/strong> Flights To Zagreb<\/a><\/strong> In case you opt for a direct flight to Zagreb, you need to consider other transportation possibilities like rent a car, transfer, bus, etc. depending on your departure port.
