Croatia Cruises in 2027

Where Do Croatia Cruises Go in 2027?

Croatia sits at the heart of the Mediterranean cruise world, and sailings that include it span a wide arc of southern European coastline and island groups. The overwhelming majority of itineraries fall within the broader Mediterranean in 2027, with the Eastern Mediterranean — Greece, the Adriatic and beyond — accounting for a substantial share of departures alongside a smaller selection of Western Mediterranean routes. A handful of more ambitious sailings venture as far as the Indian Ocean. The mix covers everything from short city-break-style voyages to longer sailings of up to 29 nights, with a median around 9 nights — long enough to take in several ports at a relaxed pace. If you want to explore what the full range of cruises looks like, our search covers the whole market.

Which Ports Do These Sailings Use?

Because nearly all of these are fly-cruises — around 98% embark abroad — you will board at a port in Italy, Greece or Spain, with Cruise1st able to sort your flights and any hotel nights either side. The main embarkation ports are:

• Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy — a popular gateway where you can spend time in Rome before or after your cruise
• Piraeus (Athens), Greece — the port of Athens, ideal for combining a city stay with an Adriatic sailing
• Ravenna, Italy — a quieter embarkation close to the northern Adriatic
• Trieste, Italy — a historic port at the top of the Adriatic with good rail and road connections from central Europe
• Barcelona, Spain — suits western Mediterranean routings; see our 2027 sailings from Barcelona
• Venice — or the nearby port of Fusina (Venice) — for sailings departing right at the gateway to the Adriatic

Many itineraries are one-way, which means you will need a flight home from the disembarkation port — commonly Piraeus (Athens), Rome, Ravenna, Venice, Trieste or Valletta, Malta. We can book that return leg alongside your outbound flight, so there are no loose ends.

Which Cruise Lines Sail to Croatia in 2027?

Several well-known lines appear across these sailings, each bringing a different style of holiday:

• Seabourn — ultra-luxury small-ship cruising, with the largest share of sailings
• Cunard — classic ocean-liner tradition, formal evenings and tiered dining
• Oceania Cruises — destination-focused itineraries with a culinary emphasis
• Royal Caribbean — family-friendly ships with wide-ranging onboard activities
• Norwegian Cruise Line — flexible dining and a relaxed Freestyle atmosphere
• Cruise1st Packages — fly-cruise bundles with flights, hotels and transfers already included

For all 2027 sailings across every line, our main 2027 page has the full picture. Norwegian Cruise Line fans may also want to look at all-inclusive Norwegian Fjords cruises in 2027 if you are weighing up itinerary options.

Featured Ships Sailing to Croatia in 2027

Seabourn Ovation

The latest addition to the Seabourn fleet, Seabourn Ovation carries guests in an intimate, suite-only environment. The onboard spa offers luxurious thermal suites and exquisite wellness treatments, and five dining venues — including the al fresco Earth & Ocean restaurant — mean you eat well every night without ever repeating yourself. If you are thinking about cabins, the Seabourn Ovation cabin and deck plans are worth a look; the Grand Wintergarden Suite runs to around 115 m² and includes a private hot tub.

Queen Elizabeth

Art deco chandeliers, sweeping staircases and a grand lobby set the tone on Queen Elizabeth — this is Cunard’s vision of the golden age of ocean travel, brought up to date. The Royal Court Theatre stages West End-calibre productions; Gala evenings fill the Queens Room ballroom with live orchestral dancing; and afternoon tea arrives with white-gloved service every day. Dining runs across three tiers — Britannia, Princess Grill and Queens Grill — so you can choose the level of formality that suits. See the full Queen Elizabeth cabin grades and deck plans for sizes and positions; options range from the 19.2 m² Britannia Inside Deluxe (GB) up to the Queens Grill Grand Suite (Q1) at 127.7 m² with a 90 m² private balcony.

Azamara Onward

With capacity for around 692 guests, Azamara Onward is small enough to dock at 167 ports that larger ships cannot reach — a real advantage on a Croatia itinerary where the appeal is often in the smaller harbours. Azamara’s signature overnight and late-night port stays give you genuine time ashore rather than a rushed few hours. Dining at Prime C Steakhouse and Aqualina Italian keeps evenings on board as enjoyable as the days ashore. Browse the Azamara Onward cabin and deck plans if you want to compare grades before booking.

Costa Deliziosa

Costa Deliziosa is the only Costa ship with dedicated golf facilities — a full simulator and outdoor putting green on deck. The Samsara Spa covers 3,500 m² across two decks, with a thalassotherapy pool and thermal suite, and the glass-roofed pool deck can screen open-air films on its giant cinema screen. Cabin grades run from a 14 m² Inside (I1) through the 16 m² Sea-view (E1) to the Balcony cabin (B1) and the 36 m² Grand Suite (GS) — full details and deck positions are on the Costa Deliziosa cabins and deck plans page.

What Fare Options Are Available?

The fare type you choose can make a meaningful difference to what your cruise includes — and to how much flexibility you have if plans change.

• Cunard offers fare types such as the flexible Cunard Fare (which includes stateroom choice and priority upgrades, a low deposit and complimentary shuttle buses at ports) and a Saver rate for last-minute bookings paid in full upfront.
• Royal Caribbean has fare types such as early-booking bonuses with onboard credit, last-minute discounted fares, and solo traveller rates — as well as occasional promotions for third and fourth guests.
• Norwegian Cruise Line ranges from a straightforward cruise-only brochure rate to the Free at Sea and Free at Sea Plus packages, which bundle speciality dining, premium drinks, Wi-Fi and shore excursion credits.

Our experts can walk you through which fare suits your plans — call us before you book and we will compare the options for you.

Are There All-Inclusive Croatia Cruises in 2027?

Many of the sailings are sold on an all-inclusive basis, meaning drinks, dining and other inclusions are covered in the fare. If that is a priority for you, our dedicated Croatia cruises 2027 all-inclusive page filters to those sailings specifically. You can also explore all-inclusive Mediterranean cruises in 2027 more broadly if you are open on the exact itinerary.

Can I Find Discounted Croatia Cruises for 2027?

Reduced fares do appear across these sailings — up to 34% off the price previously listed for that cabin grade on a particular departure, though that maximum applies to a single sailing and most reductions are closer to 10%. It is worth checking back regularly, as prices move with availability. Our team can alert you to fare drops on specific sailings if you call ahead.

When Is a Good Time to Cruise Croatia?

Sailings to Croatia run throughout 2027, from spring through to late autumn, with the widest choice typically in the summer months when the Adriatic is warmest and most ports are fully open. Shorter sailings of around a week suit those who want a focused taste of the region; longer voyages of two weeks or more allow the itinerary to extend into the wider Eastern Mediterranean or combine Croatia with Greece and Malta. If you are flexible on the exact month, our Croatia cruises from Southampton page covers the smaller number of sailings that leave directly from the UK — useful if you prefer to avoid a flight at the start of the holiday.

Sail to Croatia as Part of a Wider Holiday

Because nearly all Croatia cruises require a flight to the embarkation port, they work well as the centrepiece of a longer trip. Cruise1st can put together the full package — outbound and return flights, hotel nights before embarkation or after disembarkation, transfers between the airport and the port, and any tours or excursions you want to add. Everything goes on one booking, with one point of contact if anything needs to change. That is what we mean by Cruise1st Packages — and it is what makes booking with a specialist different from going direct to the cruise line.

We are proud to hold ABTA and ATOL protection on our packages, and we have earned a 4.5/5 rating on Trustpilot from more than 7,000 reviews. You can also browse Croatia cruises in 2026 or all-inclusive Croatia 2026 if you are comparing years, and our cruises from the UK section is the place to start if you want to explore other regions for 2027.
