There are various ways of getting to Croatia. You can of course do so by air, bus, train, car and ferry and your mode of transport may well depend on the country you’re travelling from and its proximity to Croatia.
Our main starting and ending points of the cruise routes are Split, Dubrovnik and Rijeka. And they are quite far from capital city Zagreb, however Zagreb is well connected to the coast by bus, train (except Dubrovnik) or by air. from Zagreb to Split or Dubrovnik using Croatia Airlines connections.
