About Small Ship Croatia
Croatia's Adriatic coast is one of the most beautiful stretches of water in the Mediterranean. The islands, the old towns, the food — it's extraordinary. But the big cruise ships can't reach any of it properly.
Small ship cruising is the way to see Croatia the way it deserves to be seen: slowly, from the water, with time to swim, walk, eat, and actually be in the places you're visiting. This site is the guide to doing it right.
Why Small Ships
A small ship carries 20 to 40 passengers, docks in the old harbors that big ships can't enter, and lets you wake up in a new town every morning. You swim off the back of the boat. You eat at the same restaurants the locals eat at. The captain knows your name.
This is not cruising as the industry defines it. This is travel by water.
