Croatia Cruise Trends in 2021

It's been a rough time for everybody in every possible way. There is no doubt that most of us are desperate to finally pack our bags and travel anywhere after more than a year of misery and isolation: people all over the globe are yearning for a great holiday and fresh positive emotions. Treat yourself with a nice trip after so many months of staying at home and make it happen in 2021! With travel gradually returning to Croatia, a lot of super-appealing options are available now for those with a passion for travelling. 

The encouraging fact is that, despite still existing restrictions, there is an increasingly growing interest for sea voyages in Croatia, a Mediterranean jewel, which has already been proclaimed as one of the most attractive holiday retreats in 2021. Amidst lush Mediterranean beauty, relaxed activities from sunbathing and enjoying breathtaking views of the Croatian archipelago to swimming and snorkeling in the most picturesque lagoons – sounds like a dream for every true sea lover. In addition to that, one should never underestimate the cultural aspect of the cruise: the small historical towns of the Croatian coast are literally bursting with architectural monuments, some of them can trace their origins back to ancient times. 2021 is still a year when you can have the privilege of experiencing the freedom of an uncrowded vacation full of discoveries. The locals will be happy to share their culture, cuisine and traditions with you after months of seeing very few tourists. 

Smaller vessels (up to 40 people) eliminate big noisy groups and allow navigation without disruption to the most secluded bays. Overtourism is still not going to be an issue in 2021, so effortless exploring of monuments and magnificent panorama spots as well as easier maneuvers in the most visited harbours like Hvar town is guaranteed. 

Popular cruise highlights include the Blue cave on the island of Bieševo, Šipanska Luka, Vis -  the Croatian answer to Capri, not to mention the greatest hits like Hvar, Brač, Dubrovnik and Split. For more experienced Croatia lovers we definitely recommend trying out the northern route which goes towards Šibenik, Zadar and Istra: those are more reserved and sparsely populated areas, boasting lovely nature and some great sights. All in all, one can never go wrong with any Adriatic route in a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, with the ultimate goal of an inspiring memorable holiday.

A long break in travel will definitely make your holiday memories so much more colourful and intense! Safety is still a top priority, but just try to go with the flow and do not worry about possible restrictions: they are not going to affect your exploring the gorgeous Croatian coastline. The significant part of the trip is about being outdoors anyways, the travelling company is small, the islands are still not overcrowded, the crew is well-trained and exceptionally welcoming – so there are lots of reasons why you should try out a sea adventure in Croatia in 2021. 

We've all had a rubbish year: after having been stuck at home for so long, which, let's be honest, for most of us was an extremely painful experience, spending an unforgettable week in the sea will totally heal your soul and put you back on track again.  Let's embrace the world, enjoy life and explore beautiful destinations again.
