Europe Express Introduces New Small-Ship Croatian Cruise Experiences

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Lynnwood, WA, January 20, 2026 – Europe Express has expanded its Croatia portfolio with a new collection of small-ship Croatian cruise itineraries, offering travel advisors a seamless way to design immersive Adriatic journeys for cruise clients—and for travelers seeking a destination-focused alternative to large-ship cruising. 

These 7-night cruises sail aboard elegant mini boutique ships, combining island hopping, UNESCO-listed cities, and hidden coastal towns along Croatia’s stunning Adriatic coastline. With weekly departures from April through October, the program is designed to pair effortlessly with pre- and post-cruise extensions or to stand alone as a complete Croatia experience.
