Croatia Luxury Cruises

Straddling two eras, Croatia has one foot in the past, yet its sights are very firmly set towards the future.

Flanked by coastal towns that look like something from the middle ages (they probably are), and bordered by the stunning Adriatic Sea, Croatia is well aware of its picture postcard perfection. Yet, scratch the surface and you’ll find a very modern mindset: one where traditional values are still upheld, local culture is greatly respected and ecology is highly protected. Despite growing tourism, Croatia has retained its regal dignity, and even hotspots such as Dubrovnik and Hvar have kept the authenticity of daily Croatian life. Small towns shine like jewels along the Dalmatian Coast and offer lucky visitors an even deeper look at what this pretty coastal country can offer. A beacon of exploration, education and inspiration—if you have not had the pleasure of visiting Croatia, the time is now. Set sail on one of Silversea’s luxury Croatia cruises and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is one of the world's most beautiful fortified cities. Its massive stone ramparts and splendid fortress towers curve around a tiny harbour, enclosing graduated ridges of sun-bleached orange-tiled roofs, copper domes, and elegant bell towers. In the 7th century AD, residents of the Roman city Epidaurum (now Cavtat) fled the Avars and Slavs of the north and founded a new settlement on a small rocky island, which they named Laus, and later Ragusa. On the mainland hillside opposite the island, the Slav settlement called Dubrovnik grew up.

Split

Split’s ancient core is so spectacular and unusual that a visit is more than worth your time. The heart of the city lies within the walls of Roman emperor Diocletian’s retirement palace, which was built in the 3rd century AD. Diocletian, born in the nearby Roman settlement of Salona in AD 245, achieved a brilliant career as a soldier and became emperor at the age of 40.

Korčula

Off the coast of Croatia in the southern Adriatic Sea lie some thousand islands and the largest of them, Korčula, is considered the most beautiful. With an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine annually, which guarantees a wide assortment of Mediterranean vegetation, it is not difficult to understand why seasoned travelers compare Korčula to a modern Eden. Separated from the mainland by a channel of only one mile, Korčula’s main town, named the same as the island, ranks among the best preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean.

Zadar

Dalmatia’s capital for more than 1,000 years, Zadar is all too often passed over by travelers on their way to Split or Dubrovnik. What they miss out on is a city of more than 73,000 that is remarkably lovely and lively despite—and, in some measure, because of—its tumultuous history. The Old Town, separated from the rest of the city on a peninsula 2½ miles long and just 1,640 feet wide, is bustling and beautiful; the marble pedestrian streets are replete with Roman ruins, medieval churches, palaces, museums, archives, and libraries.

Hvar

Encircled by the waters of the Adriatic, the Croatian island of Hvar bills itself as the “sunniest island on the Adriatic coast.” Not only does it have the figures to back up this claim—an annual average of 2,724 hours of sunshine—but it also makes visitors a valuable proposition, offering them a money-back guarantee if there are seven consecutive days of snow (snow has been known to fall here; the last time being February 2012).
