Dear Katarina-line team! I would like to thank you for beautiful holiday, that I had on Leonardo boat from 27.4-4.5.2024 Cruising and cycling was really superb experience.

Special thanks for your biking instructor Zoran Popovic, who guided us on your beautiful roads. He was working very hard to provide safety for the whole group, what was not always easy with all participants. He presented us with beauties of Southern Dalmatia and teach us correct and safe cycling. All the best from Slovenija,

What types of beds are available in Katarina Line cruise cabins?
Bed arrangements vary depending on the vessel, cabin type and collection.
Cabins in the Katarina Crown, Signature, Voyage and Adriatic Collections generally offer double or twin beds, depending on the vessel. Some cabins can accommodate three guests, with an additional bed positioned above or beside the main beds.
The Katarina Heritage Collection and Traditional vessels typically feature more compact sleeping arrangements, including bunk beds.
As bed configurations differ between vessels and cabins, specific arrangements cannot always be guaranteed. If you prefer a double bed, twin beds or another sleeping arrangement, please mention your request when making your reservation. Our team will do its best to accommodate your preferences, subject to availability.
What types and sizes of beds are available in Katarina Line cruise cabins?
Bed types and dimensions vary depending on the vessel, collection and cabin layout.
Cabins in the Katarina Crown, Signature, Voyage and Adriatic Collections generally feature twin or double beds. Twin beds are typically approximately 90–100 cm wide and 190–200 cm long, while double beds are usually around 150–160 cm wide and 190–200 cm long.
The Katarina Heritage Collection typically offers bunk beds, although some cabins may feature twin or double beds. Double beds are generally around 130–140 cm wide and 190–200 cm long, while bunk beds are approximately 80–90 cm wide and 190–200 cm long.

What is the difference between the lower deck and deck cabins?
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.
Do lower deck cabins have windows or portholes?
Yes, lower deck cabins on Katarina Line cruise vessels generally have small windows known as portholes. These cabins are located within the hull of the vessel, closer to sea level.
For safety reasons, portholes must remain closed while the vessel is sailing. On some vessels, they can be opened while docked in port, while on newer vessels with steel hulls and air-conditioned cabins, the portholes are typically fixed and cannot be opened.
One of our guests shared their experience of staying in a lower deck 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, including the safe, comfortable beds, spacious bathroom and quality shower.
Please note that porthole design, size and opening mechanisms vary depending on the vessel and cabin type. We recommend checking the individual vessel description for specific details.
