Two small ships are being added by Sail Croatia to its top range ‘Elegance’ fleet for summer 2025.
Both MS Romatic Star and MS Katerina carry 36 passengers, bringing the Elegance fleet up to five vessels.
This will see the number of departures rise by 60% over this year to 119.

Eight new ships planned across three NCLH brands in ‘unprecedented’ fleet expansion
MS Katerina is currently operating for the operator’s Explorer brand and will move across for next year.
The 47-metre Romantic Star was built in 2016 and can accommodate 36 passengers in 18 ensuite cabins.
The ship will run 26 departures on a variety of itineraries between Split and Dubrovnik, including several wine and world heritage-themed departures.
A seven-night round trip sailing from Split starts at £1,659 per person for a lower deck cabin departing on April 20, 2025, excluding flights.
Sail Croatia co-founder and director Helle Seuren said: “Our most luxurious ships operate on Elegance cruises.
“These cruises are aimed at couples and mature travellers looking to experience an authentic side of Croatia.
“The addition of two new ships complements our existing Elegance fleet, and I have no doubt they will prove a popular choice for 2025.
“Katarina has already made a strong debut on our Explorer cruises this year, with guests marvelling at her luxurious furnishings and high customer service standards onboard.”
