As a travel agency, we provide private retail services to our customers under the contract with several tour operators in the Balkan area. Croatia Holidays Ltd.

In the position of the agent, we provide the tour operators with all the necessary information needed to complete the reservation of the specific cruise package. Croatia Holidays Ltd. Group is formed by a team of local expert agents combined with experienced marketing team and equipped with state-of-the-art IT-support. The Tour Operator takes upon the responsibility of the performance and the quality of the service provided by them. The cancelation policy for each cruise is transparent and is established before the finalization of the reservation, after which you will receive the voucher with the transparent details of the given Tour Operator.

The cancelation policy, non-refundable deals, early booker deals, and deposits may vary for each cruise deal. Customers can get further and more specific information regarding these items with our agents during the process of the booking. Specific cancellation policy for each cruise can be found under CONDITIONS in each cruise separately.

Cancellation policy of MyCroatiaCruise as a travel agency fully depends on the policy of the specific Tour operator – the actual provider of the cruise.

My Croatia Cruise will not be held responsible for any accidents that may occur onboard and insist that clients are informed of this and the need for extra observation and caution whilst being onboard or walking between vessel(s) and mainland. Due to specific mooring conditions and requirements in some Croatian ports, vessels are moored side by side, making it necessary for the clients to cross from one vessel to another with gaps in between vessels in order to get to the shore. In such cases clients need to take special care when crossing and do this at their own risk. Crew assistance will be given to those needing and requesting.

The Tour Operator reserves the right to cancel the departure in case of less than 10 participants. In case of cancellations by the Tour Operator a suitable replacement vessel will be put in place at no extra cost.

Guests have to follow vessel rules (found in written form on the vessel) especially with regards to bringing drinks on board and in case of inappropriate behavior the Tour Operator/captain reserves the right in asking clients to disembark.

The operator reserves the right to change the vessel due to other circumstences and in that case contracted accommodation may be replaced by facilities of the equivalent or higher category.

Please remember there is no such thing as „drink package“ and „all inclusive package“ on small cruise ships in Croatia. All drinks other than mentioned in inclusions are paid separately on bord according to consumption. Customers are not allowed to bring their own food and drinks on the ship.

Factors which may affect information accuracy: We rigorously check the information we supply to ensure it is correct.
