Katarina Line reserves the right to change the vessel if the need arises, including in cases of charter arrangements. Notification will be sent at least 30 days before departure.

Katarina Line highly recommends passengers take INSURANCE AGAINST CANCELLATION OF RESERVED SERVICES! Katarina Line offers insurance packages (Travel Insurance, Accident Insurance, Private Liability Insurance, and Luggage Insurance). DISCLAIMER: Due to specific mooring conditions and requirements in some Croatian ports, Katarina Line vessels are moored side by side, making it necessary for the passenger to cross from one vessel to another with gaps in between them to get to the shore. In such cases, clients must take special care when crossing and do this at their own risk. Crew assistance will be given to those who need and request it. The cruise is not recommended for clients in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Katarina Line and the vessel's captain reserve the right to change and modify the route due to weather conditions and conditions in the ports visited. The order of visits may be different from what is published in case ports are overly crowded, and to give the customer a better experience overall.
