Dear Cruise Enthusiast: We are delighted that you’ve chosen Kompas as your travel companion. And we are grateful and excited to embark on this amazing journey with you.

By the 1980’s, and to the delight of its innumerable guests, Kompas’ 4000 employees steered hundreds of motor-coaches, cars, ships and yachts and they managed several ski centers, hotels and restaurants. After Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, Kompas expanded internationally and became the largest travel company in the region. It’s head-office is in Europe’s greenest capital Ljubljana. The company has sales and operations offices in 19 cities, most of them in Eastern and Central Europe. Kompas associates, tour directors, drivers and guides are passionate about their Croatia and cruising the Adriatic Sea. They want nothing more than for you to discover and love their islands, coastline and culture the way they do.
