Cruises

Katarina Line boasts the largest and most diverse fleet of small cruise ships in Croatia, ranging from elegant boutique-style vessels to charming traditional cruisers. Our modern steel-hull ships are newly built or recently refurbished to meet the highest safety and comfort standards. At the same time, our classic wooden vessels have been carefully maintained and upgraded for a cosy and authentic sailing experience. All vessels are registered and certified by the Croatian Ship Registry.

Deluxe Superior and Deluxe categories.

Cabins vary in size depending on the vessel category. Deluxe Superior cabins are 15-20 m² and feature wardrobes, a safe, hairdryer, toiletries, bathrobe, and slippers. Deluxe cabins are 12-17 m². Premium Superior and Premium cabins range from 8-14 m². Traditional Ensuite cabins are approximately 5-8 m², while Traditional cabins are 3.5-4 m². All cabins are functional, typically with two beds and basic storage such as a small wardrobe or shelf.

Premium Superior and Premium vessels offer either twin or double beds. Some cabins can accommodate three people, with a double bed and an additional bed above or beside it. Due to the limited number of bed types, we cannot guarantee a specific bed arrangement but will do our best to accommodate your preferences. If you have a specific bed type request, please mention it when making your reservation, and we will try to fulfil it.

On Deluxe and Premium vessels, cabins are equipped with either twin or double beds. The typical size for twin beds is 90/100 cm x 190/200 cm, while double beds measure around 150/160 cm x 190/200 cm. On Traditional Ensuite vessels, most cabins have bunk beds, although some may feature twin or double beds. A double bed on Traditional Ensuite vessels typically measures 130/140 cm x 190/200 cm, while bunk beds are 80/90 cm x 190/200 cm. Traditional category vessels exclusively have bunk beds, sized 80 cm x 190/200 cm.

Cabins on the vessel can be located either on the deck or below the deck. On-deck cabins are found on the main deck (the deck where you embark) or the upper deck (above the main deck). These cabins offer direct access to the sea and more fresh air. Lower deck cabins are located in the hull of the vessel and are typically quieter, as they are less likely to have passengers walking by. These cabins are also naturally cooler due to their proximity to sea level, and the hallways below deck are often air-conditioned, which helps regulate the temperature. Most lower deck cabins have small portholes.

Lower deck cabins are located in the hull of the vessel and typically have a small porthole. According to Croatian law and vessel regulations, these portholes must be kept closed during navigation to prevent water from entering the cabin. When the vessel is docked in port, the portholes can be opened. On newer Premium Superior / Premium, Deluxe and Deluxe Superior category vessels with steel hulls and air-conditioned cabins, the portholes cannot be opened.

A guest shared their experience with a lower deck cabin, which highlights the comfort and charm of this type of cabin:
"We ended up below deck and I loved it!! The portholes were super cool and I preferred our cabin with the feel of being on a boat when not on deck. I got some arty pics from the portholes, and closing them at night was very satisfying (SO much better than curtains). When open, the light from the water reflection on the roof of our cabin was super soothing, and the air conditioning was a fabulous retreat from the heat."

The guest also appreciated the cabin's amenities, such as the safe, comfortable beds, spacious bathroom, and quality shower.
