These are offered mostly from April to October.

The cruises generally head for the Croatian ccoast, studded with innumerable islands and beautiful bays.

The port of departure is either the Marina Dorica in Ancona or the touristic port of Zara during Summer tourist season.

Check-in is Sunday at 3 pm, check-out Sunday at 12 noon.

The port of Zara is easily reachable by land, being about 300 km from Trieste, or by sea, either by ferry (Jadrolinija lines) or by catamaran.

The price is 600 euros per person for individual vessels.
