Sailing Croatia’s island-dotted coastline ordinarily comes with a substantial price tag. This Travelzoo offer lowers the cost of select seven-night Zantium Travel voyages to as little as $1099 per person, with savings ranging from 50% to 60%.
The cruises travel between Dubrovnik and Split, with the direction determined by the departure date. Selected Saturday sailings are available through October 17, 2026. Each vessel accommodates no more than 38 passengers, offering a markedly smaller-scale experience than a conventional cruise ship.
Travelzoo currently lists a 100% approval rating for Zantium Travel among members who reviewed the company.

Solo bookings are available, although travelers occupying a cabin alone must pay a supplement equal to the regular per-person price.
Groups may instead reserve an entire vessel for as many as 38 passengers. Private charters begin at $50,000 for seven nights, compared with a stated standard cost exceeding $70,000. A $5,000 payment is collected when the offer is purchased, and the remaining amount is paid to Zantium Travel once the sailing date is selected.
Airport transportation and guided excursions are not part of the private-charter package.
Meals, Tours, and Activities
The individual cruise package covers considerably more than the cabin. Passengers receive breakfast and a three-course lunch each day, along with fruit, drinking water, and onboard Wi-Fi. A welcome dinner and captain’s dinner are also provided.
The sightseeing program includes locally guided walks in Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, and Korcula. Other included experiences are admission to the Blue Cave on Biševo and a tasting during the ship’s visit to an oyster farm near Slano. Voyages scheduled during August and October also feature a Mamma Mia-themed tour of Vis.
Airport transfers at the beginning and end of the cruise are included for passengers purchasing individual cabins.
The precise route varies, but scheduled or potential stops include Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, Korcula, Mljet, Slano, Vis, and Biševo. The itinerary also incorporates opportunities to swim, use a stand-up paddleboard, or relax in the water during the sailing.
Because these ships carry relatively few passengers, they can generally berth close to the towns being visited rather than requiring passengers to take a tender or shuttle from a distant cruise terminal.
Dubrovnik and Split
The two principal cities serve as natural bookends for the voyage.
In Dubrovnik, travelers can explore the pedestrian streets of the UNESCO-listed Old Town and walk along the fortifications overlooking the Adriatic. Restaurants, historic buildings, and waterfront views are all concentrated within or immediately outside the city walls.
Split’s defining landmark is Diocletian’s Palace, the sprawling Roman complex that now forms part of the city’s historic center. Its ancient walls contain homes, shops, restaurants, passageways, and the Cathedral of St. Domnius, which incorporates the former mausoleum of Emperor Diocletian.
Important Costs and Booking Conditions
Travelzoo membership is required to purchase the offer. Membership currently costs $50 per year, while eligible new members may be able to begin with a 30-day trial priced at $1.
Airfare is not included. Passengers must also pay port and residence taxes of $95 per person aboard the ship. National-park admission charges, listed at $30 per person, are optional and additional.
A voucher can ordinarily be refunded through Travelzoo during the first 14 days after purchase. After that period, it becomes nonrefundable unless the purchaser paid for Travelzoo’s optional refundable-voucher feature.
Once a sailing has been reserved directly with Zantium Travel, the voucher cannot be refunded. Reservations departing within 90 days cannot be changed; changes to later departures depend on availability.
All dates and cabin categories remain subject to availability.
