Sažetak
In Croatia, the tourist resources of the islands and the mainland can be well used for the development of cruises using vintage sailing ships. Today, Turkey and Greece are the two major countries in the market. However, the expanding market allows new countries an entry into the competition. Croatia has to differentiate its products and target the identified market niches more accurately in order to exploit all the market opportunities. The wealth of historical-cultural sights, the rich tradition and history, the unspoiled nature and natural phenomena offered by the islands, are an excellent combination for the development of adventurous and thematic cruise programs. Small capacity cruises (as compared to mega-ship capacities of 1500 – 2000 passengers, which are turning towards mass tourism daily) with adventure and thematic programs are an excellent combination for the success of this type of supply. These are cruises consisting of 30-40 people who want to spend their holiday far from the overcrowded tourist centers, enjoying the sea and discovering new experiences. The new programs would simultaneously complete and diversify the already existing supply.
