All-Inclusive Croatia Cruises in 2026

Croatia Cruises 2026: Where They Go and Where They Leave From

Croatia sits at the heart of one of Europe’s most varied cruising regions, and the 2026 all-inclusive sailings here span both the broader Mediterranean and the Eastern Mediterranean. Itineraries run from short breaks of 2 nights up to longer voyages of 21 nights, with a median of around 10 nights — enough time to settle into a rhythm at sea and still make the most of each port of call.

Which Ports Do These Sailings Use?

All departures are from European ports, so a flight from the UK is always the first step. Once you are there, embarkation spreads across several convenient bases:

• Piraeus (Athens), Greece — the most common departure point, connecting you directly to the Greek and Eastern Mediterranean itineraries
• Venice, Italy — classic Adriatic gateway, with sailings also departing from the nearby port at Fusina (Venice)
• Trieste, Italy — a working port city at the top of the Adriatic, popular with itineraries that trace the Croatian and Italian coastlines
• Split, Croatia — one of the few embarkation points in Croatia itself, putting you on board right in the heart of the region
• Brindisi, Italy — on Italy’s heel, offering easy access to the Adriatic crossing
• Bari, Italy — another southern Italian departure point for sailings heading east

Disembarkation ports include Istanbul, Barcelona and others depending on the itinerary — around half these sailings are one-way, so check the endpoint when you compare options. On a one-way sailing, you will need to arrange a return flight from the disembarkation port, and our team can book that as part of the same package.

Which Cruise Lines Sail to Croatia in 2026 — All-Inclusive?

MSC Cruises has the most sailings in this collection and is a strong choice if you want reliable all-inclusive value across the Mediterranean. Explora Journeys follows with a boutique, ocean-lifestyle approach aboard EXPLORA II. Regent Seven Seas Cruises brings its genuinely all-inclusive luxury offering aboard the Seven Seas Voyager. Costa Cruises rounds out the selection with its Italian-flavoured all-inclusive fares, and Celebrity Cruises adds a single well-priced sailing aboard Celebrity Infinity.

What Ships Are Sailing?

MSC Lirica

MSC Lirica is MSC Cruises’ original flagship — the very first ship the line ever built — and it carries a more intimate character than the fleet’s newer mega-ships. With around 1,984 guests on board, it is a compact, personal scale. The MSC Aurea Spa, a Broadway-style theatre, a Las Vegas-style casino and a family waterpark are all here on a single vessel. If you are weighing up cabin options, the MSC Lirica cabins and deck plans are worth a look before you book.

• Junior Inside Cabin Fantastica — 13 m², sleeps 4; 1 m² larger than the standard inside grade
• Premium Ocean View Fantastica — 22 m², sleeps 4; a full 10 m² larger than a standard ocean-view cabin
• Suite Aurea SP3 — 35 m², sleeps 4; the most spacious suite without a balcony, with exclusive Aurea access
• Balcony Cabin Bella B1 — 38 m², sleeps 2; almost 3 times the size of a standard balcony cabin, well-suited to longer voyages

MSC Armonia

MSC Armonia is a Lirica-class sister ship with 94 balcony cabins and a compact 65,542-GT footprint that allows access to smaller harbours larger vessels cannot reach — a real advantage on an Adriatic itinerary. The Teatro La Fenice seats 600 guests for Broadway-style shows, and the 400 m² casino keeps evenings lively. A top-deck waterpark with slides rounds out the on-board options. See the MSC Armonia cabins and deck plans for full grade details.

Seven Seas Voyager

Regent Seven Seas Cruises bills Seven Seas Voyager as offering unrivalled space at sea, and the cabin dimensions back that up. The Signature Suite SG measures 107 m² and includes a 17 m² balcony — nearly 4 times the size of standard deluxe verandas, with sleeping space for up to 6 guests. Regent’s fares are among the most inclusive available: the line describes its offering as the most inclusive luxury experience afloat, with immersive port programmes built in. Browse the Seven Seas Voyager cabins and deck plans to compare grades.

Costa Deliziosa

Costa Deliziosa brings a distinctly Italian personality to the Adriatic. The Samsara Spa stretches across 3,500 m² on 2 decks, complete with a thalassotherapy pool and thermal suite. A glass-roofed pool deck with retractable cover doubles as an open-air cinema, and the ship is the only Costa vessel with a dedicated golf simulator and outdoor putting green on deck. Costa’s all-inclusive fare covers full board and an Italian drinks and dining package as standard. The Costa Deliziosa cabins and deck plans show the full layout.

Celebrity Infinity

Celebrity Infinity was comprehensively refurbished in 2024, bringing this Millennium-class ship up to a contemporary standard throughout its 2,170-guest capacity. The Tuscan Grille serves modern Italian cuisine, while Le Petit Chef delivers a 3D table-top dinner spectacle unique to Celebrity. Suite guests can access The Retreat: a private sundeck, the exclusive Luminae restaurant and 24/7 butler and concierge service. Celebrity’s all-inclusive fares range from a bundled drinks-and-Wi-Fi value option through to The Retreat’s premium package covering premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi and full suite privileges. Check the Celebrity Infinity cabins and deck plans for the full cabin guide.

What Does “All-Inclusive” Cover on These Sailings?

What is included varies by cruise line, so it is worth checking the details before you compare prices:

• MSC Cruises — all-inclusive fares cover meals, selected drinks and on-board activities; the Aurea experience adds spa and wellness benefits
• Explora Journeys — the Sky & Sea fare is a full airport-to-airport package that adds international economy flights, private transfers and hotel stays around the cruise
• Regent Seven Seas Cruises — describes its fares as the most inclusive luxury experience, with shore excursions, drinks, Wi-Fi and gratuities typically covered
• Costa Cruises — the Comfort Plus fare covers full board, unlimited drinks, 24-hour room service and a reserved table; the All Inclusive fare adds an Italian drinks and dining package
• Celebrity Cruises — the best-value all-inclusive fare bundles a classic drinks package and basic Wi-Fi; The Retreat tier upgrades to premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi and exclusive suite perks

Our expert advisers can walk you through exactly what each tier covers and help you decide which level of inclusion suits how you actually cruise.

When Do These Sailings Depart?

Departures in this collection run from autumn through to the end of 2026. If your dates are flexible, the later months of the year tend to bring quieter ports and some of the best-value pricing on all-inclusive fares — on some sailings, reductions of up to 24% have been available from the price previously listed for that cabin grade, though most reduced sailings sit closer to 6% off. Worth checking when you compare.

If 2026 dates do not suit, you can also explore Croatia cruises in 2027 for the season ahead.

Make It a Full Holiday

Because every sailing here departs from a port abroad — Italy, Greece, Croatia or Turkey — you will need a flight from the UK to reach the ship. As cruise specialists, we can bundle that flight with your cruise, add a hotel the night before if you want an early arrival, arrange transfers port-to-port and include tours or travel insurance — all under a single Cruise1st Package. You deal with one team rather than juggling multiple bookings, and our expert advisers are available on the phone before you commit to anything.

You might also want to look at all-inclusive Mediterranean cruises in 2026 or all-inclusive fly cruises in 2026 for a broader comparison, and our full all-inclusive cruises section covers every region and year.

Rated 4.5/5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews, and protected by ABTA and ATOL, Cruise1st is a specialist you can book with in confidence.
