What our guests say

Thank you so much Katarina Lines. Im sure you realise the impact your cruises have on those who take them.

We've taken a few cruises, but this one was by far, the best we have taken, and will (have already) highly recommend.

Thank you for the hospitality of the crew and their diligence and attention to us. It really does make a huge difference.

God bless you.

Now I am back at the office after a wonderful cruise!
I have met people from all around the world and made friends I will keep in touch with.
The Nautilus was a lovely ship and the captain was so caretaking and we all felt so secure, even when it was a little windy.

Our tour guide Mr Sime was so knowledgeable and the best guide you could wish for!
Once again….. Najlepsa hvala!

Great stop overs which were carefully guided by the Captain around weather conditions. HVAR, Dubrovnik and Milna were very special but we actually loved and appreciated each individual stop over. This was a stand out 8 days for us from NZ. We appreciated the attentiveness of all the staff; the food; the Croatian guests were so inspiring; Fillepe was an exceptional guide very knowledgeable and supportive; we adored Eva who was a guest but a very very lovely special lady who is an amazing rep for Katarina Lines; Evan and Pejar who were funny and full of energy and Captain Peter who ensured our safety and wellbeing. Would recommend Markan to anyone and the KL team. Delicious, special, amazing, engaging. 10/10.

What our guests say

I just wanted to touch base. We are back home and mostly recovered from jet lag. Our trip was spectacular. Everything about it was delightful. The Avangard and its accommodations, the staff, the food and wine, the places we stopped and the tours. Rocco is an accomplished tour manager and very enjoyable to be around. The Katarina Line story is special and you have created a very high-quality experience! Particularly notable was the meticulous thoroughness and attention to detail exhibited from beginning to end!

We are so glad we were able to experience your cruise.
