Dubrovnik, Croatia
The walled city of Dubrovnik is one of the best-preserved medieval cities on the Mediterranean and makes the perfect summer holiday destination.
Croatia Cruise Holiday Highlights
The Eastern European country sits on the Adriatic Sea, encompassing over 1,000 islands. From the metropolitan areas of Zagreb to the coastlines of Pula, there’s much to see.
Croatia Ports
Split, Croatia
Diocletian’s Palace is an unforgettable place, at once a vibrant city centre as well as Roman ruin, with atmosphere – and history – in spades.
Hvar, Croatia
Hvar has long held a reputation as Croatia’s most glamorous island destination, with its exclusive nightclubs and more sunshine days than anywhere else on the Adriatic.
Rijeka, Croatia
A European Capital of Culture in 2020, Rijeka is most famous for hosting Croatia’s biggest annual carnival (on the Sunday before Lent each year). There’s plenty to see and do at any time, however.
Rovinj, Croatia
Rovinj’s old town is a boutique, Italianate gem. Its colourful, picture-perfect facades cluster around the steep slopes of a small Istrian peninsula.
Zadar, Croatia
It’s hard not to fall in love with Zadar. One of the most culturally rich cities on the Dalmatian coast, it has fewer visitors than Dubrovnik or Split, but there’s loads to see and do in and around town.

Reasons to visit Croatia on a cruise holiday
Enchanting Views
Those arriving into Rijeka on a cruise to Croatia will see the enchanting views of this rustic town nestled into the hillsides and decorated with bright colours, making for a storybook landscape.
Ancient Old Towns
Anyone arriving into Hvar will be rewarded with the sight of cream-coloured houses with their terracotta roofs lying amid the Hvar hills, while the harbour boats sway quietly on the Dalmatian Riviera. In the city centre, St Stephen’s Square allows for intimate views of the cathedral and is also one of the oldest squares in the region.
Cathedrals and Castles
Battles, wars and revolutions have left their marks and much of this history can be seen in the architecture and art within the many churches and cathedrals.
