Intercruises Shoreside & Port Services, an experienced global business offering ground handling and port operation services to the ocean and river cruise industry, has invested in its own Catamaran, which has been operating in Dubrovnik since early June 2019.
Named SeaGULL 30, the catamaran was custom-built in 2019 in Perpignan, France, and has capacity for 80 guests and five crew, made up of experienced sailors from Dubrovnik, including two captains now working full time for Intercruises. In an effort to be more sustainable, the Catamaran’s sails are utilized as much as possible, with the engine only used when necessary.
There are currently seven shorex programs operated on SeaGULL 30, with highlights including:
- Guest pick up direct from the gangway
- Dubrovnik Old Town Cruise
- Sailing to the nearby Lokrum or Elaphite islands
- Swimming direct from the Catamaran, which is equipped with ladders
“Our beautiful catamaran enables us to provide guests with a unique experience in Dubrovnik – something totally different from anything else that is currently available. The first shorex was in early June and since then the Catamaran is always operating at near full capacity. This investment shows Intercruises’ dedication and commitment to the destination and also to supporting cruise lines in diversifying the shorex portfolio to increase guest participation rates.” Said Maro Saulovic, National Manager Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Serbia & Albania.
