Starting Your Cruise in the Split Region: A Simple Guide to Departure Ports

Most Adriatic cruises traditionally begin in Split, one of the region’s main coastal hubs. At the moment, due to ongoing upgrades in Split’s port infrastructure, departures are organised across several nearby harbours in the wider Split area.

For guests, this changes very little in practice. All embarkation points are located within a short distance of Split and are selected to ensure a smooth, efficient start to your cruise.

Your cruise still starts in the Split region.

The experience stays the same, only the exact departure point may vary.

You’ll still be cruising the same islands, discovering secluded bays, and experiencing the Adriatic exactly as planned.

All departure ports are:

• Within a short transfer from Split Airport
• Easily accessible by organised transfers, taxi, or private car
• Supported by Katarina Line representatives on-site

If you have arranged a transfer with us, we’ll take you directly to your embarkation point, no detours, no confusion.

Multiple departure points don’t complicate your trip, they improve it.

By operating across several nearby harbours, we avoid congestion in a single busy port and ensure:

• Faster boarding
• Smoother logistics
• A more relaxed start to your cruise

Same journey. Better flow.

Whether your cruise begins in Trogir, Omiš, Marina Baotić, or nearby Soline, you are still starting in the heart of Dalmatia, exactly where your Adriatic story begins.

And once you step on board, the only thing that matters is the coastline ahead.
