About me: Christian

My idea was to create a cruise exclusively for men of all ages.

I aimed to blend my passion for leisurely voyages on larger ships with the exclusivity of private yachts, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Dalmatian Coast and the warm hospitality of the Croatian people.

And there you have it: a vacation designed to provide a break from the daily routine, offering a time of relaxation, enjoyment, and camaraderie among like-minded men.

The success of Flamingo Cruise 2022 confirmed that my concept had come to fruition.

So, I invite you to join me in 2024 for the next Flamingo Cruise.

How the Flamingo Cruise was born

Every plan starts with a dream, but the plan for Flamingo Cruise began during a vacation in 2021.

The experience we encountered on the yachts managed and operated by Katarina Line is precisely the kind of experience we aspire to create for you on your Flamingo Cruise.

Through partnering with Katarina Line, we have aligned ourselves with the foremost small ship cruise company in Croatia, a company rooted in family values and operating 60 ships and motor yachts.

The motor yacht operated by Katarina Line is also a family enterprise. Each family conceives, constructs, and manages their own yacht, all with the goal of providing you an unforgettable experience aboard your home for the Flamingo Cruise.

Each yacht is distinctive, and therein lies the charm of the Katarina Line vessels.

Katarina Line, along with the yacht-owning families and Flamingo Cruise, extends a warm welcome to you on board, with a shared commitment to making your journey exceptional.

    Cabins are situated the upper deck and on the lower deck. Upper deck cabins all have a balcony with small seating area. Cabins on the lower deck are in the hull of the vessel. Advantage of cabins situated upper deck is the balcony to the sea and more fresh air, while cabins on lower deck are sometimes quieter (only fellow passengers who booked lower deck cabins will pass by) and comfortable because they are situated in a sea level which chills cabins naturally. Cabins on the lower deck mostly have little windows (portholes), which cannot be opened.

    • Taxis: Tip up to 10% of the fare. 

  • VESSEL’S RULES:
    Vessel rules are meant to protect the passengers on board and we would like all clients to have consideration of other people. If in our opinion any passenger behaves in a way to cause or likely to cause danger or distress to any third party, we reserve the right to terminate the travel of the person(s) concerned without any refund.
    Passengers on board are obliged to abide by the ship rules, as the captain is responsible for the safety of all passengers and the crew.

    • Jumping or diving from the ship during navigation is strictly forbidden.

    • During rough weather, personal movement should be minimized and done with care, as floors can often be wet and slippery. 

    • Passengers should take extra care when crossing between the ships when ships are docked alongside in port. It is advised to ask a crew member for assistance when crossing. Be aware that crossing between ships is at the individual’s responsibility.

    • As ships can sometimes be acoustic, passengers are asked to behave accordingly. Special attention must be given to night peace onboard, which officially starts at midnight and in National Parks night peace is required even earlier, passengers will be notified

    • Smoking in the restaurant area and in the cabins is not allowed. There is a designated smoking area on the deck. Passengers must not throw cigarette butts in the sea.

    • Any damage must be compensated to the captain by the passenger. Lost cabin keys will be charged 50 €/key.

    • It is strictly forbidden to throw rubbish into the sea.

    • Water is limited onboard, therefore please be very rational with it. The same applies to electricity which runs on the generator.

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
