Story
Katarina Line begins its journey in 1992 as a family-owned business founded by Katica Hauptfeld. What starts as a one-woman venture grows into one of Croatia's leading cruise and tour operators, employing more than 90 dedicated professionals while remaining guided by the same family values. Today, Katica leads the company alongside her daughter Anamaria and son Daniel, ensuring passion, dedication, and personalized service remain at the heart of every journey. Headquartered in the seaside town of Opatija, with branch offices in Split and Dubrovnik, Katarina Line delivers exceptional travel experiences throughout Croatia. Every cruise invites you to discover Croatia's enchanting islands, picturesque coastal towns, and breathtaking natural landscapes aboard a fleet of more than 40 vessels across six categories.

Deluxe Cruises offer premium comfort with guided tours, wine tastings, and immersive excursions, while Active Cruises combine cycling, walking, or trekking with island exploration.
