Onboard Amenities
Dining & Beverages
Dining on board is a sociable and flavorful experience, featuring a mix of local Croatian specialties and international dishes. The half-board plan includes daily buffet breakfasts and six three-course lunches, ensuring guests are well-fueled for their daily excursions. Evenings are marked by special dining events, including a welcome dinner and a traditional Captain’s Dinner. Complimentary tea, coffee, and fresh fruit are available throughout the day, and the bar offers a selection of local wines and beers to enjoy while watching the sunset from the deck.
Shore excursions & land activities
The cruise experience focuses on land-based discovery and coastal exploration rather than underwater activities. Guests enjoy guided walking tours through historic towns like Dubrovnik, Korčula, Hvar, and Split, where local experts share the rich cultural and architectural history of the region. Daily swim stops are a highlight of the itinerary, allowing guests to enjoy the crystal-clear Adriatic waters directly from the vessel in secluded, picturesque bays. While snorkeling equipment is available for those who wish to explore the shallows, the primary focus remains on island scenery, beach visits, and the relaxed pace of coastal cruising.

Booking & Travel FAQ
How does the booking process work?
Select a cabin and departure on Princess, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.
When do I need to pay?
A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.
What documents will I receive?
After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.
How do I get to the cruise ship?
Adventure cruise ships embark at a designated port or meeting point, depending on the itinerary. Some operators arrange airport pickup, group flights or transfers; check your booking confirmation and travel voucher for what is included. We recommend arriving in the gateway city at least one day before departure, unless your operator provides different instructions.
What clothing and footwear should I bring?
Bring sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes with good grip for shore visits, and comfortable clothing suited to your destination's weather. Pack breathable layers, a sun hat and sun protection for warm regions; for colder or wetter conditions, add warm layers and a waterproof, windproof jacket. Check the operator's packing list for landing footwear, any supplied equipment and specific requirements.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
