Why book cruises to Croatia and Greece

Unforgettable experiences
With a focus on exceptional service, authentic experiences, and first-class cuisine, combined with a maximum capacity of just 36 guests, our cruises are like sailing in a floating boutique hotel.
The atmosphere feels elegant yet free-spirited, allowing you to explore well-known destinations and quieter ports along the Croatian coast with local guides who know the area like the back of their hand.
Daily swim stops in sheltered bays are a consistent highlight, as is the cuisine — from freshly prepared lunches on board to the restaurants you’ll discover ashore.

Tailor-made offering
Each itinerary can be tailored to reflect your interests and travel style. Our team of regional specialists will build the journey around what matters most to you, whether you arrive with a clear plan or are seeking a more carefree experience.
Couples, families, and food-focused travelers all approach these trips differently. You might balance historic touring in Croatia with time in Athens, then add a slower-paced island stay in Greece to round out the experience.
Whatever your dream cruise looks like, it is our pleasure to help make it happen.

Why Croatia and Greece work so well together
Combining a trip to Croatia and Greece is easy with both countries located in southeastern Europe and connected by direct seasonal flights between Dubrovnik, Split, and Athens.
Each offers a distinct historical identity, from medieval maritime cities along the Adriatic to classical monuments in Greece. The contrast extends to the coastline — Croatia’s pebbled coves and island harbors complement Greece’s sandy beaches and whitewashed villages.
The culinary experiences are exceptional too, both renowned for fresh seafood and unique traditional signature dishes that can be complemented with local or regional wines.

Key destinations on our Greece and Croatia cruise tours

Athens
Widely regarded as the birthplace of Western civilization, democracy, and theater, here you can follow in the footsteps of philosophers like Socrates while marveling at world-class monuments on Acropolis Hill, including the 5th-century BC Parthenon.
Yet Athens is far more than simply its ancient wonders. Alongside its historic prominence, you’ll find a thriving food scene, from neighborhood tavernas to rooftop fine-dining restaurants with views of the Acropolis, as well as galleries, open-air performances, and an abundance of live music venues.

Santorini
Hike between Fira and Oia for a different perspective, visit the archaeological site of Akrotiri for insight into life in the 17th century BC, or explore the island’s distinctive wine culture. Beaches like Red Beach offer a striking change of scenery, and sunset catamaran cruises along the caldera are a popular way to end the day.

Mykonos
The highly cosmopolitan island of Mykonos is renowned for its beach parties, upscale boutiques, fine dining restaurants, and nightlife. During the summer, it’s a place to see and be seen, attracting many VIPs from supermodels to Hollywood stars to its exclusive beach clubs.
Yet beyond the pulsing social scene, the island offers quieter corners and cultural depth. Join a Jeep excursion to explore hidden spots and perhaps take the boat tour to nearby Delos Island, home to ancient ruins dating to around the 5th century BC, including temples and a theater.

Naxos
Naxos is ideal for exploring diverse landscapes and is home to some of the country’s best sandy beaches and scenic mountains for hiking. It’s also renowned for its mouthwatering local produce featuring island products like Naxian potatoes and cheese along with fresh-caught fish and seafood.
The laid-back feel to Naxos makes it ideal for soaking up the sun, as well as swimming in the transparent turquoise water. Stroll the winding marble streets in the Naxos Town historic center and check out ancient sites like the 6th-century BC Portara, a massive unfinished marble doorway that will greet you when arriving by ferry.
