As the sun starts to set on Summer 2024, Sail Croatia has announced that its 2025 programme of small ship cruises has now gone on sale.

A total of 526 cruise departures are on offer, ranging from party cruises for 18-39-year-olds to active hiking and cycling options or Elegance cruises for those in search of a little more luxury.

Travel in luxury on two new Elegance ships

Guests looking to book one of Sail Croatia’s most luxurious ships are in luck as two additional ships are being added to the Elegance fleet for 2025, bringing the total to five.

The 45-metre MS Katarina is about to complete her first season with Sail Croatia, operating as an Explorer ship. After a resoundingly successful summer, she is set to join the Elegance fleet in 2025. Katarina accommodates up to 36 guests in a total of 18 cabins, all complete with private ensuite bathrooms, tv and air conditioning. A swimming platform is accessible via stairs at the rear of the ship, making it easy to access the water during regular swim stops.

Meanwhile, joining the Sail Croatia fleet once again in 2025 is the 47-metre ‘Romantic Star’ accommodating 36 passengers in 18 ensuite cabins. As well as featuring a spacious top deck complete with a jacuzzi, she offers multiple lounge areas to relax and unwind, plus plenty of sun loungers for guests to chill out on as they sail to their next destination.

For the 2025 season, she will operate 26 departures on a variety of Elegance itineraries between Split and Dubrovnik, including several Wine Cruises and World Heritage-themed departures.

Prices for a seven-night cruise on Romantic Star start from $2,189 per person for the 20 April cruise from Split to Split. All Elegance cruises include overseas transfers, daily breakfast and lunch, welcome reception, Captain’s Dinner Evening and Local Village Dinner.

More cycle and hike options

In 2025 there will be more choice than ever for active cruisers with staggered departures throughout the season, ensuring there are options to suit those looking to travel during the week, not just weekends. Cycle cruises will now depart on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays and Hike cruises will depart on Saturdays and Mondays.

An additional ten Hike departures will also be operating in Summer 2025, including the brand new ‘Luxury Hike Cruise’ product, on the ever-popular Salve Di Mare and a new ‘National Parks Hike Cruise’ on a Premier Ship.

Prices for seven-night Hike Cruises start from $1,179 per person for the 26th April departure including daily breakfast and lunch, nature park entrance, wifi and the services of an experienced hike guide.

Navigate your way through Croatia on a party cruise

Sail Croatia’s perennially popular Navigator party cruises for 18-39-year-olds will also be operating staggered departures for 2025, so guests have the flexibility to depart on a Saturday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday for their seven-night cruise island hopping along the Dalmatian coast with like-minded young travellers.

With ship types to suit all budgets and a choice of four itineraries, guests have plenty of options to choose from.

Prices start from $779 per person for the 20th May cruise from Split to Split including daily breakfast and lunch, exclusive events such as a blue and white boat party and wifi.

Mindful experiences on a yoga cruise

Explorer cruises are the perfect option for those who fancy a blend of sightseeing, relaxing and socialising.

Following the success of a new ‘Yoga’ themed Explorer cruise this summer, two new dates have been added for 2025, allowing guests to enjoy a range of mindful activities including Vineyard Yoga followed by wine tasting and sunset yoga overlooking the spectacular Mljet National Park

Prices start from $1,829 per person for the 31 May departure on Almissa, including daily breakfast and lunch, sunrise and sunset yoga sessions, vineyard yoga with wine tasting and a Captain’s dinner evening.
