Katarina Line, Croatia’s premier small ship cruise company and DMC, is promoting its strong 2022 season and working with travel advisors throughout North America, Europe and the UK as it prepares to greet travellers in 2023 and beyond with new cruises, amenities and inland guided tours. The company is also celebrating a surge in advance bookings as pandemic concerns fade into the background and international travel makes a comeback.
Katarina Line attributes its success to its strong relationships with travel professionals, who are responsible for more than 98 per cent of its business. The company assists its partners with extensive support material, personalized educational seminars and one of the industry’s most generous commission structures.
“The popularity of small ship cruising continues to increase every year as travellers seek out less crowded experiences that also offer more immersive guided land tours,” said Daniel Hauptfeld, Katarina Line’s marketing director. “Our ships never hold more than 39 passengers and offer generous sized cabins and a spacious sundeck. Guests enjoy unforgettable views of Croatia’s Dalmatian islands and picturesque coastal towns, while also ‘going into the heartland’ of the country, with guided tours of its ancient towns and UNESCO listed national parks. A family or small group can charter one of our vessels and have it all to themselves the entire journey, if they wish.”
