About us
Founded in 1992, Katarina Line is a proud family-owned business, independently established by Katica Hauptfeld 33 years ago. What began as a one-woman venture has grown into a thriving company that now employs over 90 dedicated professionals.
Today, Katica continues to lead with the same passion and dedication as on day one, joined by her daughter Anamaria and son Daniel, ensuring that the family values remain at the heart of the company’s success.
Headquartered in the charming seaside town of Opatija, Katarina Line has become one of Croatia’s premier cruise and tour operators. With strategically located branch offices in Split and Dubrovnik, the agency provides impeccable service across the country, delivering unforgettable experiences to clients from around the world.
The Heart of Katarina Line: Cruises
The weekly guaranteed cruise departures run from late April to mid-October, taking guests on a voyage of discovery through Croatia’s enchanting islands and coastline. With a fleet of over 40 vessels spanning six categories, the agency caters to travellers of all ages and budgets. Whether a person is seeking luxury, adventure, or relaxation, our meticulously crafted itineraries provide the perfect way to island-hop and explore Croatia’s picturesque towns and breathtaking natural landscapes.
The Deluxe Cruise experience, hosted on newly designed deluxe and deluxe superior vessels, with additional services, guided tours, wine tastings, and immersive excursions, promises unparalleled comfort and style, delivering the ultimate Croatian experience onboard.
Active Cruises, designed for adventurers, combine cycling, walking or trekking with cruising, offering a unique way to uncover Croatia’s hidden villages, lush hinterlands, and traditional island life.
Katarina Line also specializes in tailor-made group tours and corporate events, providing ideal solutions for 7-day pre and post-conference tours, daily excursions, or even short weekend cruises.

Katarina Line offers unique Land & Cruise Programs, blending Croatia’s inland cultural and natural wonders with coastal exploration. For a deeper dive into Croatia’s heritage, the Croatian Rhapsody land tour features visits to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, gourmet dining, wine tastings, and stays in carefully selected four-star hotels. This program connects with cruises departing from Dubrovnik, offering an all-encompassing Croatian adventure.
Young & Fun Cruises for young travellers are designed for vibrant experiences, including visits to jet-set islands, festivals, and nightlife hotspots.
Apart from the cruises, Katarina Line excels in organising group and individual travel arrangements, offering round trips, special interest programs, multi-destination stays, excursion packages, and more. Highlighted on www.incomingcroatia.com, these programs provide competitive rates for hotels, apartments, and private accommodations throughout Croatia.
