Heritage Cruise Ships – Authentic Character Vessels

Our Heritage ships offer a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. These characterful wooden vessels provide an authentic Croatian maritime experience yet still ensure essential amenities for your journey. Thanks to recent upgrades, passengers now enjoy a balance of nostalgic atmosphere and contemporary conveniences.

Each cabin features a private ensuite bathroom with shower and toilet facilities. While cabins are mostly furnished with bunk beds, they now include the welcome addition of air-conditioning for your comfort. Not only are the cabins temperature-controlled, but the communal restaurant and salon areas are also fully air-conditioned, ensuring pleasant temperatures throughout your voyage.

Some of our Heritage Ships:
Antonela, Eos, Dalmatinka, Dionis, Emanuel, Leonardo, Meridijan, Morena, Novi Dan, Otac Duje, Otac Nikola, Pape Prvi, Vapor.

We have individual examples of some of these ships below as they are all fairly similar in size, shape and amenities.

Intimate Cruising Experience

The Heritage fleet typically includes vessels with approximately 10 to 15 passenger cabins. As a result, you’ll share your journey with only 20 to 30 fellow travellers, creating an intimate and friendly atmosphere. To enhance your comfort, complimentary Wi-Fi is available on all Heritage ships, allowing you to stay connected throughout your cruise adventure.

These ships represent excellent value for budget-conscious travellers who appreciate authentic experiences and don’t mind the practical bunk-style sleeping arrangements. You’ll also find relaxing outdoor areas equipped with chairs or sunbeds where you can unwind while admiring the spectacular Dalmatian coastline. Indeed, many guests consider these outdoor spaces a highlight of their journey.

Cabin Types and Locations

Our Heritage ships offer different cabin options based on location:

• Main and Upper Deck cabins feature external windows and doors that open directly to the outside of the ship, providing fresh sea breezes and natural light.
• Lower Deck cabins (also called under deck or standard cabins) include portholes for natural illumination, with doors that open to the ship’s interior corridors.

Throughout your cruise, you’ll enjoy frequent swimming stops in crystal-clear waters. The relaxed onboard atmosphere, coupled with these refreshing breaks, ensures you’ll experience the Croatian coastline in the most enjoyable way possible. In addition, many travellers appreciate the authentic maritime feel that these character vessels provide.
