What our guests say

  • I wanted to reach out and say how wonderful a time I’ve had this week with the crew of the Avangard and Stan as our tour manager. 

    He’s really made the difference in this experience. Made sure we had wonderful exposure to the different towns/ cities. He also made us feel safe in all the places we’ve been.

    Can’t wait to recommend Katrina Line / Stan and the experiences you provide to all my friends

  • After a successful PCC cruise 24.- 31.7. 2021. on MV Avangard in the organization of your company "Katarina line" we thank on behalf of the whole group for an exceptional event, which all participants in the true sense of the word were delighted with. The organization of the whole event from preparation, welcome, shuttle bus ride, cruise, choice of coves-beaches for day swimming, overnight stays in ports, etc was SUPER!!! We would especially like to emphasize the exceptional quality service at all levels as well as the cordial, cultural and professional crew led by the captain/owner Damir. Food and the choice of drinks, hygiene-cleanliness were also at a high level and in the end once again a big THANK YOU for everything. Finally, we all want to repeat it again next year in other destinations on the Adriatic. We thank you once again for everything.

  • I sit alone at Dubrovnik airport reflecting on our last two weeks in Croatia. My wife has already departed northwards to Edinburgh, as Yuri our Katarina guide said “our new family” are also in various stages of their onward adventure. How to describe a trip of a lifetime? We arrived for our first visit to this wonderful country unaware of how special it would be. A few days exploring Split soaking in the sights, culture and cuisine. We transferred to MV Avangard and received a warm welcome and an introduction to our crew. The crew who for the next week would greet us with a smile and help us to enjoy what their part of the world had to offer. We met our fellow passengers and made friends that feel like family. Our newfound family all agreed that we considered ourselves blessed to be allowed to share our time with such a hard-working, friendly, outstanding crew. Katarina Line can be very proud, the food was excellent, the service was perfect, and they made every second of our cruise a joyful experience. We visited so many amazing islands and places, before post cruise spending a few nights in stunning Dubrovnik. Together on MV Avangard from the 27th August 2022 until the 3rd September 2022 everyone made an old man feel very happy!

  • Just got back from Split to Split cruise on the Avangard. Absolutely wonderful experience! Our cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was cancelled due to low numbers but was upgraded and switched to the new itinerary. The crew on this ship was second to none! Dimce, Lea (Laya), Tony & Tony, captain, and chef were so great. When I saw the little galley kitchen I didn't have high expectations of food, but I was very wrong. Don't know how he did it, but the chef outdid himself. The crew made this experience a trip of a lifetime. The small ship was exactly what we were looking for (21 people), and the staff made it even better. Big shout out to Dimce and Lea/Laya-unsure of spelling. Very special duo taking care of meals and the multitude of drinks. Highly recommend is an understatement.

  • Hi, I wanted to let you know that the Yacht was spectacular! From the boat, food, islands to the wonderful crew. It was so successful that I have another group that wants to charter it again next summer. Who should I get in touch with to book that? Thanks for all of your help. Have a great day

  • 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.

  • From the moment we stepped on board your wonderful vessel to the time we departed we felt like the worries of the world and the stresses of life disappeared. There were so many highlights for us and my words cannot articulate them in a way that will do my review justice, but here's my attempt...

    1. Ship facilities: excellent! The cabins were spacious, the main dining room light and airy, and the leisure desks huge with lots of seating, lounges , and a beautiful hot tub to warm up in after a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea!

    2. Cleanliness: absolutely spotless. We continually noticed the crew polishing every surface, and our cabins were continually maintained.

    3. Comfort: we both feel so relaxed. The seas were calm, the weather AMAZING, and the beautiful fresh sea air must have extended our lives by years! .

    4. The food: in one word, "Incredible". The quality of our meals were so high. We really loved the local influences.

    5. The excursions: Croatia is BEAUTIFUL with such a rich and interesting history! We had to keep pinching ourselves as we walked amongst UNESCO sites and stepped where those have stepped many hundreds of years ago.

    6. The company: our cruise brought together people from six different nations. Everyone felt the same way - happy, relaxed and extremely grateful for the experience. By the end of the cruise, we had all forged special friendships which is testament to the quality of our cruise. I believe, this is an incredibly valuable element of a cruise - the relationships it creates! THANK YOU Katarina Lines for the opportunity to create new lifelong friendships!

  • The food was of excellent quality, the waiters were very kind and attentive, and the cleaning service was very good. Overall, the ship was well maintained and clean, and we truly enjoyed the one-week adventure on board.

  • 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.
