Cruises to the Adriatic Sea

Make your way along island-specked coastlines on one of our Adriatic cruises and marvel at pine-fringed beaches, medieval castles, and terracotta-roofed towns. Experience vibrant, cosmopolitan communities, enchanting seaside villages, and a blend of fascinating cultures.

On cruises to the Adriatic Sea, you’ll enjoy this lovely mélange in the area’s varied cuisine, architecture, and history. Spend balmy summer days on one of the pristine beaches along the Adriatic coastline, or go hiking and wine tasting in the countryside. Uncover the historic sites of the region and wander through captivating city centers. From Italy to Croatia and Montenegro, this region of Europe has a wealth of cultural gems waiting to be discovered.

Adriatic Cruise Highlights

Forts and castles.

Immerse yourself in the history of the Adriatic by visiting its castles, forts, cathedrals, and palaces. In Dubrovnik, stroll along the chunky ramparts that have encircled the city for centuries.   In Split, wander through Diocletian’s Palace, still a living community, where the Roman emperor once escaped for rest and refuge. In the handsome city of Trieste, visit the Cathedral of San Giusto Martire, from where you’ll enjoy a breathtaking view of the Adriatic Sea. 

Sparkling Coasts

Discover the Adriatic’s breathtaking coastlines, where sparkling blue water, bleached white islands, and bottle-green pine forests await. From Dubrovnik, hop on the ferry to the wooded island of Lokrum, where you can swim off the rocks in crystal-clear water. In the Bay of Kotor, a deep fjord hemmed in by mountains, swim from small pebble beaches and kayak against a backdrop of tiny islands and coastal villages.

Culinary Delights

Treat your taste buds to new flavors during your cruise around the Adriatic. Taste crisp white Graševina wines, perfect with salty cheese and smoked ham. Try the famous black squid ink risotto and feast on plump peaches and sweet cherries, all grown locally. Enjoy fresh oysters from Ston, near Dubrovnik, and the wide variety of pasta dishes that reflect the proximity of Italy. Learn to drink coffee like a local, sitting in a café for hours while chatting with friends.

Featured Ports

Split, croatia.

The elegant old city of Split has a long history. At its heart is the magnificent Diocletian’s Palace—more a bustling self-contained community than a typical palace—built for the Roman emperor in 4 AD. Wander through the winding alleys and explore the vaulted substructures where musical performances are held. Join a wine tasting, and sample local smoked hams and cheese. Take a trip to Krka National Park, where waterfalls tumble over natural travertine platforms into blue-green pools.

Kotor, Montenegro

Nestled between the Bay of Kotor and the mountains of Mt. Lovcen, Kotor is a lovely old harbor town with a mountainous backdrop and a beautifully preserved medieval center. Explore the Old Town, where al-fresco cafés line sunlit squares. Step into the quirky Cats Museum, which is full of all things feline. Climb the ramparts that snake over the hills behind the city for awe-inspiring views over the rooftops and the long Bay of Kotor.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Between Italy and Montenegro, you’ll find the spectacular city of Dubrovnik, a heavenly coastal city in Croatia that has risen to the top of many travelers’ bucket lists. Walk around the historic old city walls, where you’ll see unparalleled views of Dubrovnik’s terracotta-roofed buildings and shimmering Adriatic beyond. Explore the area’s forts and monasteries, and take the aerial tram up craggy Mount Srd for the best view of the tangled streets of the old town.

Adriatic Cruise Itineraries

On a cruise to the Adriatic Sea with Celebrity Cruises, choose from seven to 11-night itineraries that depart from Barcelona, Rome, Athens, and Ravenna (Venice). Cruise between April and November and visit ports of call such as Dubrovnik, Trieste, Kotor, and Split.

Itineraries

Europe is closer than ever with flights by celebrity.

Not only do we offer the best way to explore Europe, but we also make it easy to get there with Flights by Celebrity℠. Relax knowing you’re booking the lowest airfare and have a dedicated team helping you get to your ship—and back.

Why Cruise to the Adriatic With Celebrity Cruises

Discover the beauty of the region on an Adriatic Sea cruise with Celebrity Cruises. You’ll sail to picturesque towns and popular ports in supreme comfort while enjoying world-class service onboard. Join exciting shore excursions and spend your days learning about the area’s rich history, sampling its unique cuisine, and relaxing on the Adriatic coast’s famous beaches.

Once you’re back on board, enjoy balmy evenings in the Sunset Bar, book a massage at The Spa, or relax on your own private veranda and breathe in the fresh ocean breeze. At night, savor global cuisine at any of our restaurants and cap off the evening with a drink at one of our lively lounges, where you can listen to live music or dance under the stars.

Spending a night (or even a day) in a marina is an important part of sailing: not only it gives a safe shelter for your boat, but it also lets you explore the local villages and replenish the supplies. However, it comes with a fee that depends on many factors: the marina’s location, season, and the size of your boat. In some cases, these visits are hard to predict or plan for, so please do not be disappointed with your skipper if you need to dock in the marina in case of bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances – your safety is the most important part of your trip.

How much should I budget for marina and mooring fees?

There are many factors that affect the mooring prices. Every marina has its own pricing policies that are affected mostly by the season and boat size. Below are some examples of the mooring fees (please don’t take them as final costs as they might): Low season: 37 feet boat: 42€ - 90€ per night/per boat 42 feet boat: 48€ - 95€ per night/per boat 45 feet boat: 51€ - 115€ per night/per boat 50 feet boat: 57€ - 135€ per night/per boat High season: 37 feet boat: 45€ - 115€ per night/per boat 42 feet boat: 50€ - 125€ per night/per boat 45 feet boat: 55€ - 150€ per night/per boat 50 feet boat: 61€ - 175€ per night/per boat However, if you are blessed with a combination of beyond perfect weather and good forecasts for an upcoming couple of days, your skipper might make a decision to anchor in a cove for the night which is free of charge!

Croatia Sailing Adventure

It was one of the best experiences with so many fun activities great food and super helpful staff. We got to see some many beautiful islands and unique places I loved it.

Sailing Croatia - Split to Dubrovnik

Excellent, the boat was great, nik the skipper could not have done more for us, he had great knowledge and his experience as a skipper ensured the trip went well.

• Road Cycling
• In-depth Cultural

Cycle the Dalmatian Coast

The local company was very good to deal with. Nela and Zoran looked after us very well and were great guides. It was a excellent way to see parts of the beautiful Dalmatian coast.

Country Roads of Croatia (Classic, 14 Days)

Amazing trip! Everything was well planned and taken care of. Our travel director, Karin, blew me away with her attention to detail, knowledge of each place we visited and how well informed she kept the group throughout. Coach is VERY comfortable and always kept clean.The scenery throughout the entire country is breathtaking, I couldn't even take my eyes off the views from the coach while on route to the next stop. The history we learnt from our guide and local experts made it even more beautiful. Restaurants and hotels were all well chosen and did not disappoint. This is my first Insight Vacations trip and definitely will not be my last!

Sailing Croatia - Dubrovnik to Split

Great trip where we got to see some beautiful islands

Pearls of Adriatic cruise

Overall a great experience, went to many lovely places, awesome crew and the cooked meals were incredible. But the ship was not the one that was advertised and many people weren't happy about that. I had a downstairs cabin which was pretty small and basic (and bathroom had a bad smell), the ones upstairs were much nicer yet they paid the same price.

Croatia Sailing Adventure: Dubrovnik to Split

Excellent experience. Good skipper and boat. I loved the way you can explore all the nice port cities of Croatia. Your bed is only a short walk away from all the taverna's and central areas.

8 Days Scenic Montenegro Cruise

I think my most memorable moment would be when we sailed on the gulet, and stopped by a small beach on one of the many bays in Montenegro. The water was so blue and the beach was so clean and sandy.

Croatia Sailing Adventure: Split to Dubrovnik

The itinerary was excellent. There was a good group of people aboard ship sharing a wonderful experience. Our captain was exceptional. He was a good sailor and knew the ports of call and could offer advise about where to go and what to see. He was friendly and inclusive. He was also a good cook.

Croatian islands cruise + Land tour with Plitvice - from Zagreb

Excellent tour for either the land and cruise part of the Itinerary. Good and clean hotels in Zagreb and Split. Transfers well arranged in a comfortable minivan. The cruise itself is memorable, small boat with just 34 guests great service, attention to details a chef on board ready to accommodate all client s wishes. Good value per money. We were cruising on a deluxe vessel paying a small extra fee.

Montenegro & Croatia Sailing

The Dalmatian Coast: Rome, Dubrovnik & Adriatic Dreamin’

The Dalmatian Coast: Croatia, Corfu & Medieval Cities

Dalmatian Elegance (Classic, 9 Days)

What can I say, the Dalmatian Elegance was a phenomenal trip! Our fantastic guide Aida took so much pride in guiding us around the islands of her home country and provided us with so much Insight (pardon the pun) whilst on shore excursions and showed us how to live like a local. The cruise was operated by Katarina line on board the MV Avangard, which was a beautiful ship. Our crew were so professional and accommodating, many of my fellow guests felt as though they had made lifelong friends. Special thanks goes to Matea and Tomislav who ensured that our drinks and meals were served wonderfully. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough, especially if sailing on the Dalmatian Riviera is an experience on your bucket list. I guarantee that this is one of the most stylish ways to experience it.

Comfortable Heartland of Montenegro Trip

Montenegro is an underrated gem! The tour was perfect even though the weather wasn't at all times, but Borislav, our tour escort made sure we plan our day such that we make most of the sunny days as well as enjoy the rainy ones. The tour was well organized, well paced, communication was great and we were well taken care of at every step. We'd love to visit again someday cause 8 days isn't enough to explore this beautiful country!

What people love about Adriatic Solo Tours

Amazing trip, tour guide Dom was sensational, did a very good job at showing us all the landmarks and being an all round good host.

Bike barge tour Croatia — relaxed Adriatic adventures

Cycling may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about a holiday in Croatia — you’re probably imagining picturesque beaches lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, handsome fortified towns and secluded islands accessed only by yacht…

Bike barge tours in Croatia give you the chance to explore all of this and another side of Croatia’s coastal paradises; challenging hill routes that reward you with spectacular sea views, sleepy island interiors away from the tourist hotspots, and spectacular national parks.

And taking a refreshing dip in the sea feels absolutely delicious after a day’s bike touring!

What to expect on your bike barge tour in Croatia

Croatia’s beautiful, rocky coastlines and verdant island interiors are perfect for those cyclists looking for a challenge: Each day starts with a tasty breakfast on board your motor yacht “hotel” before you and your guide depart head out bike touring through the gorgeous scenery of Southern Dalmatia, the Kvarner Bay Islands or Croatia’s renowned island national parks.

And if it sounds too demanding, don’t forget that you can make things easier with an e-bike.

Every evening you’ll make your way back to the yacht for a well-deserved swim in turquoise waters, a home-cooked meal featuring the freshest local ingredients and Croatian specialties, and a fine wine on deck as you watch the sun go down on another day of bike barge touring in Croatia.

Cycle and sail through UNESCO highlights and natural wonder

For those who would like their Bike barge tour Croatia to combine both island hopping and UNESCO-listed world heritage sites, our Dalmatian trips are perfect and come with the options to be taken as high-end PLUS tours . Marvel at sights like the regal walled city of Dubrovnik, get up and personal with Diocletian’s Palace in Split, and cycle charming routes on the sparsely-populated islands of the Adriatic Sea in between.

On the other hand, if you’d rather spend more time exploring Croatia’s reefs, bays and islands, the National Parks of Dalmatia bike barge tour offers a unique chance to do this. Enjoy easier cycling as you visit the National Park Krka waterfalls, the old town of Trogir, and the wild aquatic realm of the Kornati National Park archipelago and its attendant islands.

Croatian coast emerges as prime target for global real estate buyers.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Visitors and investors are captivated by Croatia's stunning coastline, rich history and vibrant ... [+] local culture.

There is something for everybody in Croatia, which is gaining in popularity among European investors, luxury home buyers and visitors.

The reasons are plentiful: 1,170 miles of glittering Adriatic Sea coastline with more than 1,200 islands; a real estate market accessible to foreigners; and a reputation for safety.

Luxurious mega-yachts—outfitted with helipads, whirlpool tubs and personal chefs—dot its world-class marinas. Sun-seeking adventurers cruise the Adriatic in 100-foot sailboats. Young couples sip the local wine and dine on some of Europe’s best seafood at trendy restaurants on cobblestone streets.

And, of course, on every street corner stunning views of land, sea and architecturally significant cityscapes greet you.

The sun rises behind Diocletian's Palace in Dalmatia, Croatia.

Croatia’s rich rich historical heritage

At the turn of the 4th century Emperor Diocletian built a sprawling palace in the Roman province of Illyria. Today the province is part of the southernmost region of Croatia.

The seven-acre complex, constructed with limestone, graphite and marble, took 10 years to build and now makes up the heart of Split, Croatia’s second-largest city. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. Following Diocletian, the city was ruled at various times by the republic of Venice, Hungary-Croatia, Austria and Yugoslavia, until it became part of independent Croatia in 1992.

Microsoft Warns Windows Users Of Ongoing Russian Hack Attack

The country’s rich historical heritage is evident farther south in Dubrovnik , a booming port city founded about 614 by Roman refugees. It’s also a UNESCO site, with the massive walls that encircle the city, the 15th-century Rector’s Palace and the Cathedral of Assumption reminders of the city’s complex past.

The colorful tapestry of Croatia’s history is woven into its architecture and lifestyle, says Forbes Global Properties’ director Marcus Benussi. In the north, it’s common to find residents with Italian surnames speaking Italian. Along the coast, you’ll see architecture influenced by European avant-garde urban and construction trends of the early 1930s. The culinary scene, meanwhile, is generously seasoned with middle European and Mediterranean flavors.

Luxury villas line the coast in the city of Zadar in Dalmatia.

Exploring the Istrian Peninsula and Dalmatian Coast

The Istrian Peninsula juts into the northern Adriatic and is home to Pula , a quaint coastal city, and the seafront port of Rovinj .

Pula is the largest city in the region and is home to Europe’s best preserved Roman amphitheater, which features intact towers and curved walls. Brijuni National Park and its 14 untouched islands are north of Pula and are reached by boat.

In Rovinj, strong Italian influences and Old World appeal are evident. Access to its old town is limited to pedestrians and bicycles, and five-star hotels and luxury shopping are plentiful. Narrow cobblestone streets line the town.

Strict regulations and a tight supply of land limit investment opportunities in Rovinj. “In the Istrian region, it’s almost impossible to find land to build on,” says Benussi. “This is what makes the market attractive. Everybody wants in, but very few manage to buy.”

Securing land on the first or second row of the seafront is a challenge, but Rovinj and the surrounding area offer lucrative opportunities.

A designer villa in Zadar features a range of amenities including a private zero-edge swimming pool. ... [+] Price is available upon request.

Benussi notes there is a growing interest among foreign buyers in properties with small-scale farms or vineyards. Wine tourism is a major boon to the Istria region, attracting well-heeled individuals keen for a taste of the local malvazija and merlot.

The Dalmatian Coast captures most investors’ attention right now. Croatia’s southernmost region begins in the city of Zadar and stretches south to Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic Sea.” It also includes the islands of Hvar and Brac , playgrounds of the rich and famous.

This narrow stretch along the Adriatic Sea has cliffside mansions, charming old stone houses and opulent villas with panoramic views. Real estate prices in this coveted region are growing steadily, with local and international buyers hoping to own a slice of land in the booming coastal region.

Trophy properties on the coast are scant, and anything that comes on the market gets snapped up in “days,” Benussi says.

For US $1 million, you can “live like a king,” he adds.

Olive trees surround a private villa on an uninhabited island near Zadar.

Living in Croatia

The shimmering blue water of the Adriatic Sea offers more than just jaw-dropping views. With currents that flow upstream, the water is much warmer and saltier than it is along the Italian coast, on the opposite side of the Adriatic, Benussi says.

Croatia’s unique cuisine blends influences from neighboring countries and showcases local seafood, black truffles and rich stews. Its locally produced olive oil, cheeses and wine are among the best in Europe.

Much of Croatia’s economic activity is linked to tourism. An estimated 50 million tourists are expected in 2024, with forecasts estimating nearly 60 million tourists in 2029. That’s largely because Croatia in 2023 joined both the eurozone and Schengen Area, meaning it has adopted the euro and allows many Europeans to enter the country without requiring border checks, respectively.

The two-villa compound features a central swimming pool that overlooks the coast. It also comes with ... [+] private docking and three boats.

It also means European Union citizens can purchase real estate just as Croatian nationals do. For those who live outside the EU, purchasing real estate in Croatia is possible if two conditions are fulfilled: a reciprocity agreement with the republic of Croatia and consent of the Ministry of Justice.

Many Croatians feared that the official introduction of the euro would decrease their purchasing power and lead to an increase in the cost of living. The country has been grappling with an inflation rate upward of 5%, with expectations of a slowdown in price hikes this year.

Benussi notes that the effects of the currency transition are becoming evident. There has been an increase in European interest in Croatian real estate, which has led to prices rising in the short term.

Data from the Croatian Bureau of Statistics reveal that GDP grew 2.8% in 2023 and 4.3% in the fourth quarter, surpassing analysts' initial expectations. The latest uptick marks the 12th consecutive quarter of growth in GDP.

“Croatia will very soon become a strong economical power,” Benussi says.
