Dock in a hidden cove, pad on to the deck and just
dive straight in: sail with the leading luxury Croatia tour operator and
this will be your typical day

We’ve all dreamt it. Spending long, lazy days sailing on our own private yacht, stopping only to jump into the sea to cool off.

It’s the lifestyle of a superstar – but it can be your reality, too, when you book with Unforgettable Croatia.

Launched by a husband-and-wife duo in 2016, Unforgettable Croatia now has five ships of its own, in addition to its charter vessels.

Its luxury Signature class consists of My Wish, Memories and Bellissima, while its more affordable Deluxe class is made up of Adris and Phoenix 72.

Whichever you choose, you will sail in intimate groups of up to 38 guests who will feel like family by the end of your voyage.

WHAT TO EXPECT
You’ll soon fall into a routine. During breakfast, your ship will hug the coast as it gently sets sail. Mid-morning, if you want to take things easy, stop to swim or snorkel, or make the most of complimentary paddle-boards and kayaks. Prefer a beach club vibe? Then ramp up the adrenaline on a Jet Ski or Seabob scooter instead.

After a three-course lunch on board, you’ll arrive at your destination – a new island each day. Excursions are included, so you might taste wine on a jeep safari one day, or learn about oyster harvesting on another. You could also visit a national park or have a guided walking tour of an old town, or simply unwind on board.

Unforgettable Croatia’s yacht- style ships dock in the heart of their destinations, in small ports that larger ships can’t access, so you can hop on and off at your leisure.

While a complimentary welcome dinner and captain’s dinner with a live band bookend your voyage, the rest of the time you’re free to enjoy an evening meal on your own or with your friends or family wherever you like.

You needn’t be back on board till 6am so there’s time to mingle with locals, drinking and dancing until the sun comes up.

Get on board
Unforgettable Croatia’s seven-night Signature Split to Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik to Split cruises, via Hvar, Vis, Korcula, Mljet and Trogir, depart from May to mid-October, from £1,590. Quote WOC when you book before December 1, 2024 to receive Є100 (£85) bar credit, Champagne and chocolates on arrival.
