Yellow Buses Head South: RegioJet Starts 2026 Croatia Season

RegioJet says demand for summer travel to Croatia is even stronger than last year as Czech tourists once again head for the Adriatic coast in massive numbers. The first yellow bus of the 2026 season departs from Prague this Friday, and some of the most popular dates are already nearly sold out.

RegioJet Launches Croatia Season With Prices Starting at €35

The first seasonal service leaves Prague’s Florenc bus station on Friday, 29 May 2026 at 16:30, travelling via Brno and Bratislava directly to southern Croatia. According to RegioJet, interest in Adriatic routes has surged again this year, particularly for Friday departures at the beginning of the summer holidays.

This year’s biggest attraction is the price. Despite rising fuel costs across the market, RegioJet has decided not to increase fares.

"Interest in travelling to Croatia is higher this year than last year. Some dates are already sold out or only the last seats remain available, especially Friday departures at the beginning of the holidays. Good news for passengers is that despite rising fuel prices, we are not increasing ticket prices and are keeping them at the same level as last year," confirmed Dita Tomešová, Executive Director of Bus Transport at RegioJet.

RegioJet: Adriatic Coast From €35 and a New Route on Top

The first route launching on Friday runs from Prague via Brno and Bratislava directly to southern Croatia. The cheapest tickets for this service start from CZK 999 (€39.9), with the coach stopping at nine popular resorts: Zadar, Sukošan, Biograd na Moru, Pakoštane, Vodice, Šibenik, Primošten, Trogir and Split.

But that is not all. This year the yellow carrier is introducing a completely new bus route, launching for the first time on 12 June 2026. The line will operate on the route Prague – Brno – Bratislava – Rijeka – Crikvenica. Prices on this new northern route start even lower, at CZK 899 (€35.9).

Travelling to Croatia by Coach: What Will the Timetable Look Like?

The buses will initially operate on a limited schedule, but services will intensify rapidly as summer approaches.

Until mid-June:

• three times weekly (departures from Prague on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays; returns from Croatia on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays).

From 12 June until the beginning of September:

• daily services.

The final coach from Croatia will depart on 21 September 2026.

Luxury on Board the Yellow Coaches: Free Coffee and Airline-Style Seating

For the long journey to the sea, RegioJet is deploying premium double-decker Setra Fun&Relax⁺ coaches with capacity for 58 passengers.

Travellers will enjoy considerably more space and privacy than on standard buses, while the upper deck offers a more luxurious 2+1 seating arrangement.
