    Two most enjoyable cruises!! We had no idea what to expect of/in Croatia. Whilst we knew that Croatia was a separate country, we had tended to block it in with Serbia and had a slightly jaundiced view of our possible security based on the progress and fall outs from the 1991 Balkans war and related international reporting. We were so very wrong. We found Croatia and the people we met/dealt with to be absolutely delightful, friendly and helpful. The support service provided by Katarina Line Representatives was very good and helpful. • A Katarina Line Representative was on the dock about 2 hours before boarding time; • We looked for and found the KatarinaLine flags on vessels and Katarina Line Representatives with aquamarine tee-shirts who confirmed Vessel and allocation; • Any issues related to post-cruise accommodation bookings or transfers can be referred to the on-board cruise director and/or the Katarina Line Representatives We travelled on 2 KatarinaLine cruises: KL2: 7 days: Split to Split: 1st-8th October. We were booked on an A+ vessel, however we were upgraded to a de-lux vessel “Fantazjia”. VERY comfortable, big well fitted out cabins with proper on-suite located on the upper deck. The food and lounge and cabin services provided by the crew were outstanding (especially the Cruise Director and the Dining Lounge Steward. Breakfast and lunch were included/provided but all dinners were ashore (except for a Captains dinner). Dinner on board was not an option, and we think this worked very well. KL1: 5 days: Zadar to Opatija: 10th-15th October. We were on an A+ vessel, the “Morena”. Much smaller than the “Fantazjia” but adequately sized, comfortable cabins with proper on-suite located on the upper deck. The food and lounge and cabin services provided by the crew were very good. Meal arrangements were the same as for KL2 We found both cruises to be very good value, well organised, very good quality and very enjoyable. We will be back for another visit, possibly based on 1 or 2 cruises, but will include a lot more time on land; we did not see enough and there is a lot to see and enjoy.

    Just got back from Split to Split cruise on the Avangard. Absolutely wonderful experience! Our cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was canceled due to low numbers, but were upgraded and switched to the new itinerary. The crew on this ship was second to none! Dimce, Lea (Laya), Tony & Tony, captain, and chef were so great. When I saw the little galley kitchen I didn't have high expectations on food, but I was very wrong. Don't know how he did it, but chef out did himself. The crew made this experience a trip of a lifetime. The small ship was exactly what we were looking for (21 people), the staff made it even better. Big shout out to Dimce and Lea/Laya-unsure of spelling. Very special duo taking care of meals and the multitude of drinks. Highly recommend is an understatement.

    This morning we left the Avangard after a week long cruise from Split returning to Split. Cannot recommend highly enough. Once stepping on board we did not have to think about anything. A highly efficient Captain, cruise manager and crew. A mix of English speaking people from around the world who were ALL great company. The unobtrusive and highly efficient crew made this a trip one to remember. On shore tours ran like clockwork, informative and entertaining. Looking forward to cruising again with the Katharine line.

    Just wrapped up a 7-day Split-to-Split cruise with Katarina Line aboard the brand new MS Markan. In a word, the cruise was fantastic! Food was fresh, local & plentiful, activities were interesting & professionally run including walking tours, wine tastings and plenty of beach / swim stops. Lastly, our guide Juri was super knowledgeable, and happy to share stories about Croatia, it's people and the rich history. Highly recommended!

    Catarina Line o We spent a week sailing on the Catarina line from Split-Dubrovnick-Split. They have small cruise ships, with a capacity that does not exceed 40 people, the treatment is completely personalized and the staff is always attentive to all the details and provides support if required. The rooms are very comfortable and the meals are hearty and of very good quality. In general, there are 2 stops during the day, one to swim in the middle of the Adriatic, which is by far the best experience of the trip; and also to visit a city, which is always supported by a guide who gives an overview of the place being visited and then there is time to do the tours yourself. We were very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend this cruise. .............................and We spent one-week cruising with Catarina line from Splitz- Dubrovnik- Splitz. The line has small vassals, the capacity is about 40 guests, they have a very personalized services and the personnel is always putting their best to make every detail special and give support in case it is required. The rooms are really nice and comfortable, food is good and good quality. In general, during the day there are 2 stops: one on the middle of the ocean in order to swim on the Adriatic, in on point of view this was the best of the trip; And the others to stop in a city, the first activity always join a local guide to have a brief tour to the place and then later visit by own the city. We really liked the experience and definitely we will recommend this cruise.

    We were on a cruise Split-Dubrovnik-Split in August 2023/ The cruise was an amazing experience. We were on board of Futura Ship from Katarina Line. It was a small group of 30 likeminded people. The whole crew on the ship was fantastic. It was the most relaxing holiday I have been on. Swim stops, food and sunsets were totally worth the price. We also had the best sleeps ever thanks to a very gentle rocking of the boat at night. I was very worried as I get sea sick pretty bad but I was absolutely fine. Totally recommend to anon who likes chilled time with some awesome people from round the world.

    Just completed a 7 night cruise on MV Rhapsody (Split-Split) covering numerous ports and Islands in Croatia. The small boat was great as it docked in some cases right in town allowing easy access to town centre. Daily swims in nice bays in morning followed by afternoon or nightly walks in town filled our days. The boat was modern and cabins comfortable. Cabins were cleaned daily with fresh towels and sheets changed twice during the trip. Meals were great except for the “buffet BBQ” which consisted of fish fingers and 2 types of sausages. A complete let down compared to all the other meals provided. Staff were polite and helpful. No laundry service available however if your budget allows, go for upper deck cabins which have a balcony. You can then wash your clothes and allow them to dry outside. Plenty of open spaces in sundeck in top deck or mid deck. Hot and cold filtered water freely available but “free” coffee and tea facilities only available during meal times and will close exactly on time which means after that everything is purchased. Overall a good cruise in modern small ship.

    Asked on March 25th, 2024

    When I have enquired with other tour groups they would let me know the ratio of males and females booked on the tour as well as if their birth years fell in the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. Determining the demographic of the group is critical in helping me decide whether or not I want to take the tour as it can affect my experience greatly.

      Jane

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Are we able to get a triple cabin on that date? We saw video of some rooms that had a double bed with a bunk above. 1) When is check-in and departure? 2) Do you offer airport transfers? 3) If our flight arrives Friday night, where would you recommend we stay? Close to the boat? 4) Are there any scheduled/included activities that a 6 year old is not allowed to do? 5) It looks like boat arrives in Split the 7th night (Friday). How early can we leave in the morning to catch a flight? Do you offer airport transfers? If not, is Uber reliable that time of morning?

    • Katarina LineOperatorWritten February 2024

      1. Check in is from 11:00 h. Deparutre is at 13:00 h. 2. We do offer transfers for the guests at an additional cost. Price for the transfer from Split airport to Split port/hotel is 90 EUR (3-6 pax) per way. 3. It is always better option to book a accommodation somwhere close to the port. 4. For the childs acitivies it is on yours (parents) discretion. 5. A ship arrives in Split on friday. Check out is possible any time after that with informing the tour guide on board.
