Cruise Croatia’s fleet is growing.

The small-ship line is building a new ship, which is slated to make its debut in the spring of 2025. Called the MV Aretis, the ship will be able to accommodate up to 36 guests.

MV Aretis will have 18 cabins that each span up to 160 square feet. It will also have a restaurant and bar on the upper deck, an outdoor area with a sundeck, and a covered outdoor lounge space with sofas, sun loungers and a jacuzzi. 

Guests will be able to use onboard water equipment like kayaks, floats, goggles, snorkeling gear and standup paddleboards.

The ship will join Cruise Croatia’s existing 16 ships.

When the vessel debuts next year, it wil sail 7-night cruises between Dubrovnik and Split from June 7 to October 11, 2025. In 2026, the line plans to increase the number of departures from 19 to 24.

“Demand for luxury small-ship cruising is growing, as travelers continue to seek out voyages with a unique element, exploring destinations that larger vessels simply cannot visit,” says Graham Carter, chief commercial officer of Cruise Croatia. “MV Aretis will be one of the most stylish and elegant ships ever built in Croatia, offering a luxurious and intimate cruise experience, and we cannot wait to welcome guests onboard.”
