Through the island world of Croatia

Come aboard the MS La Belle de l'Adriatique and experience a new feeling of cruising! The ship of the CroisiEurope shipping company combines the intimacy of a river cruise ship with the charms of an ocean cruise. Built to the latest standards of technology, the ship resembles a large yacht. Those who travel the Adriatic and Croatia's coast by ship choose the traditional and most beautiful way to approach the country. For when the ship glides slowly towards the coast on the brilliantly blue waves of the Adriatic and all the details gradually become visible, one feels strangely like an explorer of new worlds. Romantic bathing bays, picturesque coastal towns and interesting cities, unspoiled islands and bizarre rock reefs, all in sun-drenched azure blue and sunny yellow. Croatia invites you to discover its original beauty and its incomparable and natural charm.
