What out guests say

Hi - we have just returned to Australia and wanted to write to you about the amazing trip we had on the Ave Maria in the 3rd week of August (Split to Split). We had done a Sail Croatia trip 5 years ago and had such a good time that we thought we would do something similar for our honeymoon. Our experience with Katrina Lines even surpassed the experience on that trip which was a very high bar. Aida was our tour manager and she was just fabulous. Please pass our thanks on to her - she is an amazing asset to Katerina Lines. All of the staff were great as well - particularly Larisa which was impressive given it was her first season. Thanks again and we intend to be back one season soon - this time with the whole family,

My wife and I had such a wonderful time. We also wanted to thank the entire crew of the Ave Maria, Capt: Rade, Angelic, Josipa, Ante, Luka, Vladimir, and his sous-chef, the housecleaning, and the engineer. You were able to put together such a great mix of food, towns, and music. It really was a special time. I have made sure to inform everyone to travel with Katarina

My wife and I recently enjoyed a holiday with you traveling from Split on 3rd June. We visited some lovely islands and arrived in Dubrovnik on 10th June. Our ship was the Ave Maria. I don’t usually write to thank a company fro their service but on this occasion, I wanted to let you know how pleased we and our fellow passengers were with our voyage. The captain and crew of the Ave Maria were excellent. They worked together as a team and the quality of the food and service were superb. Please thank them very much. In addition to this first-class service our guide, Mira Knezevic was amazing….her language skills were exemplary and her knowledge about the places that we visited made each journey even more interesting and worthwhile. She is a real asset to your company. Thank you once again and please pass on my thanks to Mira and the Ave Maria….we will be back. Kind regards

I had a couple of big dreams in my life and I made them come true, but the fairy tale I "fell into" last week (on the "Ave Maria" cruise ship) I didn't even think existed! For the first time, I experienced that there is a realistic representation of the ship, the food, the destination... it's even more fascinating in reality. Kudos to the captain. He works on the entire organization! I also have to single out the cooks Julija and Stan, who work miracles with food, both in terms of taste and appearance. Art! I would especially praise them for their effort in adapting the lactose-free dishes! The cruise guide, Ivana Kopajtic, also deserves high admiration for her daily and all-day engagement and interesting and detailed information that served us very well. The rest of the crew is also at a high level - professional, helpful and unobtrusive! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Katarina Line for making this unforgettable and surreal experience possible for us! Once again, many thanks and warm greetings from satisfied travelers!
