Cruise to Rijeka !

Cruise tο Rijeka !

In the very center of Kvarner Region lies Rijeka, one of Croatia’s largest towns. The city of Rijeka and the eight tourist destinations that make up the Rijeka Ring have it all. Here you can enjoy a great selection of theatre shows, exhibitions, concerts … but also take a stroll, go hiking, ride a bicycle, ride horses, sail, dive and enjoy the beauty of untouched nature or admire the persistence of man in building dry walls.

Some cities have the sea. And this is why we love them. Others have a long list of cultural events. This is why we go there. Some are famous sanctuaries where we look for tranquillity and help, and feel gratitude. Others are places of dynamic events. Some destinations have beautiful beaches. In other places you can ski, go for walks or visit romantic medieval castles. Trsat, a part of Rijeka, is a very special place for citizens of Rijeka and their guests, as the oldest Croatian Marian shrine and a destination for many religious people, including the Holy Father John Paul II. in 2003.

In the historical image of the city, from prehistory and the Gothic, then the Baroque Rijeka and the strong influences of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, centuries have been deposited and each and every one of them has left its mark in its architecture, creating an interesting city nucleus rich in historical monuments.

Simply, Rijeka and the Rijeka Ring have it all – so many faces of Rijeka and its surrounding area, so many reasons to come and dive into the worlds of art, imagination, religion, tradition, old towns and different worlds and much, much more…

City of Rijeka was declared the European Capital of Culture for 2020, and the very name of the application “Rijeka – Port of Diversity” speaks for the impact and importance of the development of the port as a new emerging touristic an cultural destination providing not only services but specific meditteranean spirit based on needs and the expectiations of passengers, precious values of diversity, the influence of different cultures and new ideas.

Rijeka has multiple docking areas for both small and mid-sized ships at its Maritime Passenger Terminal, along with larger cruise line vessels with up to 10.5 m draft at its Container Port. Tendering is also available. She is also a major luxury yacht destination too, hosting a beautiful marina and exceptional facilities.
