Split

Split’s port sits at the doorstep of a living, wind-worn mosaic of Roman heritage and Dalmatian charm, turning a cruise call into a destination in itself. What sets it apart from other ports is the immediate immersion into history and culture: a short stroll from the quay places you inside the UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace, where centuries of seafaring, trade and urban life unfold in limestone courts, shadowed archways and vibrant waterfront lanes. Signature experiences range from a guided dive into palace cellars and the Peristyle to sunset cocktails along the Riva, and from quick ferries to sun-kissed islands to immersive day trips to Krka National Park or the medieval charm of Trogir. The port is a true gateway to the Dalmatian coast’s marquee destinations—Brač, Hvar, Šolta and beyond—each offering clam-digging shores, olive groves, and wines that speak of coastal terroir. Fleet features at Split’s port embrace multiple purpose-built berths capable of accommodating the largest ships with minimal wait times, streamlined passenger terminals that separate embarkation and disembarkation for speed, and a suite of modern services—multilingual staff, digital wayfinding, comfortable lounges, and efficient security lanes—designed to get travelers from ship to shore with effortless ease. Onboard, guests savor Croatia’s famed hospitality through curated shore excursions, seafood-forward dining, and authentic Dalmatian rhythms that complement the city’s ancient core, ensuring that a stop at Split is not just a port call but a memorable gateway to Croatia’s Adriatic soul.
