Trade bookings for Unforgettable Croatia’s range of luxury small ship cruises surged by 24% in 2024, as the company reported a record-breaking year.
More than 1300 guests booked via an agent for the May to October sailing season, the operator confirmed.
The season also saw the cruise company’s highest-ever occupancy rate of 99.21% which came as total cabin capacity increased by 20% on the previous year’s figures to 2286.
Australian revenue and bookings both climbed almost 50% for the 2024 season, with Australian travellers now accounting for 15% of all guests.
Unforgettable Croatia recently appointed Melbourne-based Aurore Bertomeu as its European Travel Specialist to further support the local trade.
Unforgettable Croatia Chief Commercial Officer Graham Carter thanked advisors for their important role in achieving these results.

Already, 72% of cabin allocation for Unforgettable Croatia’s 2025 sailings has been sold, Carter confirmed.
The program features 131 guaranteed seven-night voyages between Split and Dubrovnik along the Dalmatian Coast from early-May to mid-October.
A new ship, the 36-guest MS Aretis, will launch in 2025 taking the fleet to six, with a total of 2500 cabins – a 9% year-on-year increase.
The vessel will operate 19 seven-night departures from Dubrovnik to Split, and vice versa, from 7 June to 11 October 2025.
A new seven-night Signature Croatia Hidden Gems Cruise will also launch in the 2025 season, sailing from Split to Opatija and visiting Sibenik, Zadar, the Plitvice Lakes National Park and the islands of Losinj and Krk.
