Wooden sailing ship
Wooden sailing ship

Spend your vacation on one of many wooden sailing ships cruising the Adriatic, starting from different Adriatic ports from Rijeka to Dubrovnik.

My trusted partner Adriagate offers wide selections of sailing ships from low cost to luxury ones.

Ships are divided into three main categories according cabins quality and their positions on board, on deck or below deck.

Another factor in vessels categorization is between ships with common/shared bathrooms and those with a private bathroom/toilet in each cabin.
