With rising demand for travel worldwide, Katarina Line, Croatia’s premier small ship cruise company, is rewarding travelers who book this year with special offers of 20% off on all 2021 cruises. The company is also adding new ships and routes with guaranteed departures and inland guided tours especially designed to introduce clients to Croatia’s historic cities, sprawling national parks, and the stunning Dalmatian coast. Guests travel in spacious small ships with less than 36 people, avoiding the crowded decks of the large “cookie cutter” cruises. To be eligible for the discounts, clients must book by May 1, 2021 and request code C4DOE2.

“With Europe relaxing most travel restrictions in the coming months, this is a great time for travelers to secure their preferred cruise and take advantage of our lowest prices of the year,” said Daniel Hauptfeld, Katarina Line’s marketing director. “Our small ships are ideal for groups and multi-generational families, who can travel together the entire journey in their own ‘travel bubble’ and share many memorable experiences exploring Croatia.”

Hauptfeld added: “Our guests enjoy breathing in the clean, healthy air of the Adriatic Sea, swimming in secluded coves, away from crowded beaches, and participating in guided inland tours that reveal the beauty of Croatia’s many islands, its historic towns, exceptional food, and superb national parks – all of which are poised to welcome international visitors again with minimal restrictions.”

Katarina Line’s small ship cruises depart from Opatija, Split and Dubrovnik, three of the country’s most historic – and many would say, most exciting – port cities. Among its many departures is the popular 7-night Northern Gem, a round-trip cruise out of Split that offers one of the best ways to experience some of the country’s unique attractions, its cuisine, culture and famed architecture. In between the guided tours, passengers sail from town to town along the coast, swim and snorkel in the warm waters of the Adriatic, and enjoy extraordinary views from their vessels of Croatia’s many islands and coastal towns.
