Getting to Dubrovnik or Split, Croatia via a cruise
I realize it's possible to fly into Zagreb and then take a hop to a coastal city, Split or Dubrovnik or rent a car and drive to the coast from Zagreb, I but wondered if there wasn't a way to cruise there instead. I'll be in Israel and afterwards want to spend a month at an apartment in Spilt. It seems like a no-brainer to enjoy the beautiful sea and take a week to cruise to my destination. If I flew Tel-Aviv to Istanbul or Athens, is there a company that would give me one way transport to Spilt with a stop in Kotor and Dubrovnik?. It makes perfect sense to me but I can't seem to find a cruise line that would provide it. Seems like the only way to get by ship to Croatia is to get to Venice and take a ferry across. Does anyone out there know how to find the cruise I'm looking for?

This is a bit more than a week but it seems to fit with your itinerary.

Wrong link. That one ends in Dubrovnik, not Split. Here's one that ends in Venice but you could get off a bit early.

This company has other itineraries you could check.

The Hidden Gems trip starts in Venice and ends in Zagreb but includes Split et. al.

Started researching a trip about 2 years ago Split, a must; Dubrovnik, a must. Found gulat cruises but almost 80% of the time was swimming. Looked into ferries and that is probably the only way to accomplish what you want. We will end up in Oct taking NCL Jade from Venice, to Koper, Split, Dubrovnik, Messina, Naples and Rome. One of about 1 or 2 ships that stop in both cities. Not as much time as we had originally hoped and miss a lot of great places in Croatia but with other concerns, had to balance things out.

Both Split and Dubrovnik have airports. Maybe you can fly into one of them.
Croatia's Jadrolinija ferries travel out to assorted islands as well as make a twice-weekly trip along the coast of Croatia from Dubrovnik up to Rijeka, stopping at various ports and islands along the way. Or at least they used to have a car ferry doing such a trip. I can't find a schedule for this year. When traveling in Croatia, it's very important to pay close attention to the details of the ferry schedules. Even in high summer you can't necessarily go to any destination any day of the week.
