Cruising route is subject to change depending upon weather conditions.
Guests are obliged to follow ship rules (found in written form on the ship) especially with regards to bringing drinks on board. In case of bad behaviour, Katarina Line/captain reserves the right in asking clients to disembark.
Due specific mooring conditions and requirements in some Croatian ports, Katarina Line ships are moored side by side, making it necessary for the clients to cross from one ship to another with gaps in between ships in order to get to the shore. In such cases clients need to take special care when crossing and do this at their own risk. Crew assistance will be given to those needing and requesting it.
