Which cruise areas are available in Croatia?
In Croatia, there are 3 main areas to cruise. Cruising the
Central Dalmatian Islands is perfect for active individuals, who love nature,
swimming, snorkeling, and other water sports. In this area, you can visit all
the essential Dalmatian islands like Korcula, Hvar, Vis, Šolta, and Brac. You
can also explore the beautiful coastal towns of Trogir and Split. This route is
a perfect mixture of relaxation, swimming and island hopping.Split is the
second largest city in Croatia and its surrounding areas are home to most of
the largest marinas in Croatia.
Split itself is a fabulous city with a long history. It is
like a living museum, walking around the ancient center is like nothing you’ll
have experienced before, with a whole area taken up by a 1700 years old
Diocletian’s Roman palace. Over the centuries this architecture has been kept
intact and then incorporated into newer buildings, like St. Duje’s Cathedral,
which is the heart of a 4th-century mausoleum. Split’s mesmerizing beaches are
found between bright blue seas and the white stone walls of the town. Dotted
with shops, bars, and restaurants, Split is well worth a visit for some
laid-back relaxation on your next cruise tour in Croatia.
One of the most popular cruise routes in Croatia is the
Dubrovnik region. How to describe Dubrovnik? It’s one of the most attractive
walled cities in the world with beautiful pedestrianized streets to walk
around. It gained its recognition as the notorious King’s Landing of the famous
TV show Game of Thrones, where you can explore the locations where the
Lannisters, Starks, and Targaryens plotted their revengeful acts. And while
there is a lot of attention given to Dubrovnik as a famous movie destination,
there’s so much more to discover while cruising to Dubrovnik. For a start, the
city’s rich history. The rises and falls of Dubrovnik over the centuries are
well documented in museums and galleries, from the 15th Century interiors of
the Dominican Monastery and Museum to War Photo Ltd – a renowned war
exhibition. The city will get attention with the wonderfully preserved Rector’s
Palace, elaborate Onofrio’s Fountain, and baroque St. Blaise’s Church, named
after the city’s patron saint. You can also take a walk with a local guide who
will show you around this world-famous Dalmatian city.
However, if you’re searching for an even more memorable
journey, you’ll find that Zadar and Šibenik are wonderful landmarks on your
next cruise tour. Zadar is the oldest inhabited city in Croatia, and a must
stop on your Croatian cruising adventure.
Here you’ll find Venetian and Roman ruins that date back centuries,
adding a completely exclusive feel to this section of the Dalmatian coast. Seek
out St. Mary’s Convent, a Benedictine monastery featuring religious art dating
all the way. Šibenik is one city with two UNESCO sites, current attractions
range from a falconry center to a renovated masterpiece of Renaissance
heritage, the Cathedral of St James. Croatia
