Kompas Holidays International’s 2018 cruises marks its latest portfolio of deluxe small ship cruises with the debut of the brand new 18-cabin M/S Stella Maris that will ply the pristine Adriatic Coast highlighting the best Croatia has to offer.

To mark the debut of the M/S Stella Maris as part of the Kompas fleet, the company is offering a special Early Booking Discount on selected April and May cruise departures for a savings of $300 per person or $600 per cabin for bookings received by Dec. 15, 2017. The specially-rated departures are all eight-day Adriatic Cruise programs scheduled between April 28, and May 26 (from Dubrovnik to Porec).

In other news, Kompas is the only small ship cruise company to ply the Dubrovnik/Porec and Porec/Dubrovnik route this year. From UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Sibenik’s Saint James Cathedral and the Euphrasian Basilica of Porec; stopping on the island of Mali Losinj, known as the Island of Miracles and Wellness; to the National Parks of Mljet, Brijuni, and Kornati. Fully-escorted sightseeing programs will also take you to the captivating island of Korcula, Marco Polo’s birthplace or “Little Dubrovnik,” and the island of Hvar, famous for its lavender fields.

The exclusive eight-day programs aboard the new five-star vessels that feature the 36-bed M/S Stella Maris for 2018 are priced from $1,760 to $2,078 per person, based on two sharing a cabin.

Scheduled departures take place from April 28 through October 20, 2018 with the exception of the August 25 and the September 29 departures, which are sold out.

This selection of cruises are aboard the brand new M/S Stella Maris, which is outfitted with deluxe and modern amenities, such as LCD TV, fully air-conditioned cabins furnished with either queen-sized or twin beds with windows or portholes and en-suite bathrooms.

With a capacity of 36 passengers, M/S Stella Maris features a salon/restaurant, swimming platform and outdoor showers, complimentary Wi-Fi and direct internal telephone communication from cabins to the bar.

The size of the 160-foot long M/S Stella Maris as well as Kompas’ other five-star small ship vessels – the M/S Adriatic Queen, M/S Arca, M/S Desire, the M/S Karizma, and the M/S Prestige – allows them to move freely and easily into the intimate ports of Croatian Islands.
