Croatia cruises

Come for the endless turquoise, stay for the history and Dalmatian charm – Croatia is cruising at its finest

With balmy beaches surrounded by idyllic historic cities, crystal clear waters and melt-in-your-mouth seafood, Croatia’s Adriatic coast will fulfill all your beach holiday fantasies. But with more than 1000 sun-drenched islands strewn across 1118 miles of coast, Croatia is more than just sun and sea. Explore rugged limestone landscapes and waterfall-filled national parks, get lost in historic walled towns, or drink local wine in hidden bars tucked into 2000-year-old Roman ruins. Croatia may first tempt you with its beaches, but its picturesque towns, mouth-watering cuisine and fascinating history will have you returning again and again.

Croatia highlights

Walk Dubrovnik’s city walls
Walk Dubrovnik’s city walls
Dubrovnik’s iconic city walls have protected the city since the Middle Ages. These days, they are the best way to see the city, offering sweeping views of its monasteries, terracotta roofs, old port and the Adriatic Sea. Wander the World Heritage-listed walls and Old Town – past forts, bastions and towers; if the sights look familiar, it’s because several films and television shows have been filmed here, including Game of Thrones.

Wander by waterfalls in Krka National Park
The coast may be its main drawcard, but Croatia is also home to some pretty spectacular national parks. Located on the Krka River about an hour from the coast, Krka National Park is known for its cascading waterfalls, winding hiking trails and lush forest. For a less strenuous option, tour the park by boat, stopping by secluded emerald pools.
Wine tasting Hvar, Croatia
Taste local wine around Hvar
Partygoers descend on Hvar during the summer months to revel in its party atmosphere, but it’s still possible to venture off the beaten track in this well-traveled hotspot. Fertile soil and year-round sun (locals claim it as the ‘sunniest spot in Europe’) have created an agricultural paradise. Head inland to visit fruit orchards and olive groves, sample wine at local vineyards and stroll across picturesque farmlands.

Croatian Coastal Cruising - Split to Dubrovnik (Aurora)

SANDRA · Traveled June 2024
Our 7 night Sail from Split to Dubrovnik was a wonderful experience. We travelled with a small group of like minded people. Our tour guides were amazing as were the boat crew. Great to visit some out of the way places that others boats didn't venture to, and loved our daily swim spots.

Croatian Coastal Cruising: Dubrovnik to Split (Aurora)

Jo · Traveled June 2024
I loved my trip with Intrepid. It’s the perfect combination of free time and organised trips. I travelled from Dubrovnik to Split by boat and it was very well organised and the best way to see the country. It was my first trip with Intrepid, and I hope to do many more in future.

Dawn · Traveled June 2024
The Croatia cruising trip was an excellent way to see the beauty of Croatia and also allowed me opportunities to be active every day. Ziggy and Pavle were excellent guides and were just good people. The Aurora crew was also excellent and very helpful.

Croatian Coastal Cruising: Dubrovnik to Split (Aurora)

Susan · Traveled June 2024
The Intrepid Croatia Cruise from Dubrovnik to Split was fabulous. The Aurora was spacious and clean, the crew were friendly and helpful, the food was very good and the size of boat meant we could dock at ports and explore the delightful smaller villages. Our tour guides Ziggy and Pavle are passionate advocates for their country! I highly recommend this trip.
