Croatia cruises take you to the picturesque city of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its impressive architecture and fascinating history. Explore the city's medieval ramparts before an evening stroll along the Stradun, Dubrovnik's elegant main boulevard. Discover the port of Split, dominated by the 4th century Diocletian Palace, and Zadar, a smaller port known for its Old Town and carefully preserved Roman and Venetian ruins.

Croatia Cruise Highlights

Wine & Vineyards

The up-and-coming wine regions of Croatia produce full-bodied reds and dry, citrusy whites. Don’t miss trying the Plavac Mali while in Croatia, which is usually poured if you join a wine tasting at a local winery. Croatian wine is best enjoyed in a sunlit square, accompanied by a platter of air-dried meat and local cheese, a local culinary tradition.

Architecture

Waves of invasions and settlers have shaped Croatia’s impressive architecture, which bears influences from Roman, Venetian and Ottoman eras. In Dubrovnik, stroll the 16th-century ramparts, visit the gothic Rector’s Palace, and climb to the top of the chunky Fort Lovrijenac. Split is famed for the 4th century Diocletian Palace, essentially a walled town. In Zadar, soak up the Venetian buildings and Roman ruins of the enchanting Old Town.

Beaches

Croatia is one of the most popular beach destinations in Europe. One of its most beautiful areas of coastline is the Dubrovnik Riviera, where you’ll find smooth pebbled beaches and sparkling teal water against the backdrop of lush green hills. The mainly stony beaches mean the sea is crystal-clear, perfect for snorkeling. The coast is also dotted with islands, reachable by ferry as a day trip; from Dubrovnik, the forested Elephati Islands are the perfect place to cool off.
