Botel Marina

Description

There is a special kind of hotel in the port of Rijeka - the "Botel Marina". As the name suggests, it is a ship that has been converted into a comfortable hotel. The ship was built in Denmark in 1936 and sailed between Scandinavian ports for 33 years. Initially under the name "Kronprinsessan Ingrid", it has borne its current name "Marina" since 1963. From 1969 to 2005, the ship connected Mali Lošinj with Zadar, Silba, Unije, Pula, Koper and Venice. Although the "Marina" was no longer used for passenger transport, in 2007 it was considered "the oldest ship in the world licensed to carry passengers"! In 2013, the marina was completely reconstructed and is now the first "botel" in Croatia. Just a few minutes' walk from the pedestrian zone, market, stores, museums and the berths of the Riva fleet, the Botel Marina is not only suitable for a stopover before or after a cruise from Rijeka, but also for longer stays if you want to explore the city with its sights or the surrounding area.
