All Inclusive Croatia Cruises 2028

Where Do All Inclusive Croatia Cruises Go in 2028?

All inclusive Croatia cruises in 2028 are, in practice, Mediterranean cruises that call at Croatian ports as part of a wider itinerary. The Mediterranean accounts for the largest share of sailings, with the Eastern Mediterranean — covering the Adriatic, the Aegean and the coasts of Greece — making up the next biggest group. A smaller selection covers the Western Mediterranean. Most sailings are one-way rather than round-trip, so check the end port carefully when you book: you will need a flight home, and Cruise1st can arrange that alongside hotels and transfers as one holiday.

The Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean

The majority of 2028 sailings concentrate on the broader Mediterranean, with the Eastern Mediterranean carrying the heaviest focus on Croatia and the surrounding Adriatic. Routes in this region typically combine Croatian ports with Greek islands, the Italian coast and other Adriatic highlights — exactly the kind of itinerary that suits the boutique, small-ship lines that dominate this page. Because most are one-way, you can board in one city and disembark in another, which means a single trip can cover a remarkable amount of coastline without retracing a single mile.

The Western Mediterranean

A number of sailings explore the Western Mediterranean, often beginning or ending in Rome (Civitavecchia) or Dubrovnik. These itineraries suit guests who want a wider sweep of southern Europe rather than an exclusively Adriatic focus. Mediterranean fly-cruises in 2028 are a practical option if you want to minimise travel time at each end.

Danube River Cruises

A proportion of the 2028 sailings are river cruises on the Danube, operated by Avalon Waterways. These are quite different in character from ocean voyages — smaller vessels, inland waterways, port-intensive itineraries with no sea days. If you are weighing up river versus ocean, it is worth knowing both options sit within this search. The river cruises are all inclusive in their own right and represent a genuinely different holiday rather than just a shorter version of the Mediterranean sailings.

Which Ports Do These Sailings Use?

Because most sailings are one-way, embarkation and disembarkation ports are often different. Here are the ports that feature most prominently across 2028 all inclusive Croatia cruise sailings:

• Piraeus (Athens), Greece — the busiest port for both starts and ends of voyage, serving as the gateway to and from the Aegean and Adriatic
• Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy — a major embarkation and disembarkation point, well connected by rail to the city centre; Cruise1st can arrange a hotel either side of your sailing
• Venice — both Venice itself and the nearby port of Fusina (Venice) feature on the schedule; Fusina is the mainland terminal used as an alternative to the city’s historic passenger terminal
• Barcelona, Spain — the main western departure point, with cruises from Barcelona in 2028 offering good transatlantic flight connections for UK travellers
• Dubrovnik, Croatia — the principal Croatian port of call, used for both embarkation and disembarkation across multiple lines

All of these ports require a flight from the UK. Cruise1st can book your flights, pre- or post-cruise hotel nights, and transfers to and from the port as a single package — nothing is left as a loose end.

Which Cruise Lines Sail All Inclusive Croatia Cruises in 2028?

The lines skew heavily towards luxury and ultra-luxury. All inclusive fares in this context go well beyond a standard drinks package — many cover dining, excursions, gratuities and more as standard. Here is how the 2028 selection breaks down:

• Regent Seven Seas Cruises — sails more of these itineraries than any other line in 2028; known for a fully inclusive fare that covers shore excursions, speciality dining, drinks and flights on many itineraries
• Explora Journeys — the luxury ocean travel brand from the MSC Group, sailing EXPLORA I and EXPLORA VI on Mediterranean itineraries with a boutique-resort feel aboard
• Azamara — a strong presence in 2028, with Azamara Onward and Azamara Journey both sailing these waters; Azamara’s small-ship size allows access to ports that larger vessels cannot reach
• Avalon Waterways — the river cruise option, sailing the Danube with fully inclusive fares that typically cover meals, excursions and onboard beverages
• Norwegian Cruise Line — offers its Free at Sea fare packages covering speciality dining, beverages, Wi-Fi and shore excursion credits on selected sailings
• Costa Cruises — sailing Costa Deliziosa on select Mediterranean itineraries with all inclusive fare options

Seabourn leads by volume across the 2028 sailings, with Seabourn Ovation carrying the highest number of departures. Norwegian Cruise Line’s 2028 sailings offer a more flexible fare structure, letting you choose which packages to include.

Featured Ships for 2028 All Inclusive Croatia Sailings

Seabourn Ovation

Seabourn Ovation is the latest addition to the Seabourn fleet and accounts for the largest share of 2028 departures. The ship is built around intimate luxury: 5 dining venues, including the signature Earth & Ocean al fresco experience where you eat under the open sky rather than in a traditional restaurant. The spa offers a thermal suite and a full wellness programme — the kind of facility where you could spend an entire sea day without a second thought. For those considering cabin grades, the Grand Wintergarden Suite (GR) runs to around 115 m², features a private hot tub, a separate bedroom, a generous living area and a full kitchen with bar — approximately twice the space of the ship’s Owner’s Suites. Full cabin options and deck plans are on the Seabourn Ovation cabins and deck plans page.

Seven Seas Grandeur

Seven Seas Grandeur sails for Regent Seven Seas Cruises and is built around the premise of maximum space and maximum inclusion. The Regent Suite (RS) is among the most extraordinary afloat: 352.7 m² of living space and a 120 m² private terrace — more outdoor room than many apartments ashore. Regent’s all inclusive promise covers shore excursions, speciality restaurants, drinks and gratuities as standard, which means the headline fare is genuinely the total cost of your time on board. See the full range of grades and layouts on the Seven Seas Grandeur cabins and deck plans page.

Azamara Onward and Azamara Journey

Both Azamara Onward and Azamara Journey carry around 690–700 guests — small enough to dock at 167 ports that larger ships simply cannot reach, including boutique Adriatic harbours that suit a Croatia itinerary particularly well. Azamara’s signature is overnight and late-night port stays, giving you time to have dinner ashore, explore after the day-trippers have left, and still be back on board for breakfast. Specialty restaurants Prime C (steakhouse) and Aqualina (Italian) are included in the fare on both ships, along with a Caviar and Champagne Bar. Azamara Journey’s fare also includes AzAmazing Evenings — exclusive cultural events ashore arranged privately for guests. Cabin grades for Azamara Onward and Azamara Journey are detailed on their respective deck plan pages.

EXPLORA I and EXPLORA VI

EXPLORA I and EXPLORA VI sail for Explora Journeys on Mediterranean itineraries in 2028. EXPLORA I’s Owner’s Residence is the largest suite on board at 183 m² of interior living space plus a 132 m² aft terrace spanning the full width of the ship — the kind of space that makes the phrase “home away from home” feel genuinely apt. Explora Journeys fares vary in structure: some include the Journey fare only (the Suite Only tier), while Sky & Sea fares add return international flights, private transfers and hotel stays. Cabin options for EXPLORA I and EXPLORA VI are available on their respective deck plan pages.

Costa Deliziosa

Costa Deliziosa brings a distinctive on-deck feature that no other Costa ship offers: a golf simulator and outdoor putting green. Beyond that, the ship carries a 3,500 m² Samsara Spa across 2 decks — with a thalassotherapy pool and thermal suite — and a glass-roofed pool deck with a retractable cover and cinema screen for open-air film nights. For guests who want a larger, more resort-style ship alongside the all inclusive fare, Costa Deliziosa is the option to consider. Full cabin grades are on the Costa Deliziosa cabins and deck plans page.

What Do All Inclusive Fares Actually Cover?

The phrase “all inclusive” means different things on different ships, and that gap matters when you are comparing headline prices. Here is how the main lines structure their fares:

• Regent Seven Seas Cruises — shore excursions, speciality dining, drinks (including fine wines and spirits), Wi-Fi, gratuities and flights on many itineraries are all included in the single fare. It is one of the most comprehensive all inclusive propositions at sea.
• Azamara — specialty restaurants, house beverages, gratuities, AzAmazing Evenings cultural events (on Journey) and Wi-Fi are included. Shore excursion credits apply on selected fare types.
• Explora Journeys — the base Journey fare covers your suite and dining. Sky & Sea tiers add return flights in economy class, private transfers and hotel stays on each side of the sailing, making it an airport-to-airport package. Terms and conditions apply to the transfer and hotel elements.
• Norwegian Cruise Line — the Free at Sea tier covers speciality dining, a premium beverage package, a Wi-Fi package and shore excursion credits per port. The Free at Sea Plus tier extends this further, applying the package to all guests on the booking.
• Seabourn — drinks, dining across all venues, gratuities and Wi-Fi are included in the Seabourn fare. The line positions itself as ultra-inclusive by design rather than through a named package structure.

If you are unsure which fare tier gives you the best value for how you actually cruise — whether you take shore excursions, how much you drink, whether you eat in speciality restaurants every night — Cruise1st’s expert advisers can walk you through the numbers before you book.

What Are the Prices for 2028 All Inclusive Croatia Cruises?

All inclusive Croatia cruise fares in 2028 start from £439 pp* — a per-person price based on 2 people sharing. Prices across the page reflect a range of cabin grades, sailing lengths and cruise lines from boutique-luxury to ultra-luxury, so the spread is wide. Where discounts apply, reductions of up to 21% from the previously listed price for that cabin grade are available on select departures, though most reduced sailings are discounted by around 7%. Cruise1st can help you identify the best-value grade for your budget and preferred line.

Planning the Journey: Flights, Hotels and Transfers

Every sailing departs from a port overseas — Piraeus, Rome (Civitavecchia), Venice, Barcelona or Dubrovnik — which means a flight is part of the trip for every UK traveller. That is not a complication; it is an opportunity to turn the cruise into a fuller holiday. Through Cruise1st Packages, you can add return flights, a pre-cruise hotel night in your departure city, transfers between the airport and the port, and travel insurance — all on one booking, one payment, one point of contact if anything changes.

If you are flying into Rome, for example, an extra night before embarkation means you arrive relaxed rather than rushed. The same applies at the other end: a night in Athens or Barcelona after disembarkation turns the journey home into part of the holiday rather than a scramble. Our team books this kind of package regularly and knows which options work best for each port.

Cruise1st is rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 7,000 reviews, and is ABTA and ATOL protected — so whether something changes before you travel or while you are away, you have proper cover and someone to call.

Could a River Cruise Be the Right Fit?

If the Croatian and Mediterranean sailings are not quite what you pictured, a Danube river cruise with Avalon Waterways might suit you better. River cruises offer a fundamentally different pace: smaller ships, scenic waterways, a new port virtually every day, and a fully inclusive fare that typically covers meals, excursions and drinks on board. Nights range in length, and the itineraries tend to go deep into cities rather than anchoring off them. If you are weighing both options, Cruise1st can compare them side by side — river versus ocean, boutique versus resort-scale — and help you land on the one that actually fits how you like to travel.

Is There a Deals Section Worth Checking?

Fare reductions are available on a number of 2028 all inclusive Croatia sailings, measured from the price previously listed for that cabin grade on that sailing. Up to 21% off is available on a single standout departure, while the typical saving across reduced sailings sits at around 7%. Fare types such as early-booking offers, last-minute reductions and promotional package deals do appear across the lines — the best way to track what is current is to speak with a Cruise1st adviser, who can flag the most competitive fares across lines and cabin grades at the time you are ready to book. You can also browse the wider all inclusive cruises collection or the full cruises search to compare options across departure year and region.

Other 2028 Sailings Worth Considering

If you are open to a slightly different angle on 2028, a few related pages are worth a look. Croatia cruises in 2028 without the all inclusive filter gives you a broader choice of fares and lines. Mediterranean cruises in 2028 covers the full regional picture, including lines not featured here. For a longer-range perspective, world cruises in 2028 include sailings that pass through the Mediterranean as part of a multi-continent itinerary — useful if Croatia is one stop on a bigger ambition.

If you are considering a specific line, Norwegian Cruise Line’s 2028 programme covers itineraries and fare structures in full. For the broadest possible view of what is on sale in the year, all cruises departing in 2028 is the place to start. Those wanting to explore inclusive cruising in other regions might also find all inclusive Norwegian fjords cruises or Mediterranean cruises in 2027 useful comparisons for timing and price.

For context on what the all inclusive category looks like year-round, the Croatia all inclusive cruises hub and the main all inclusive cruises page both carry sailings across multiple departure years. And if you are weighing up the journey itself, the all inclusive Christmas cruises page shows how the inclusive category looks across different seasons.
