Unforgettable Croatia Launches Early Booking Offer for 2027 Luxury Small-Ship Cruises

Travellers planning ahead for 2027 can now take advantage of a new early booking incentive from luxury cruise specialist Unforgettable Croatia.

The company has unveiled a limited-time ‘early bird’ offer on selected seven-night luxury small-ship cruises departing between May and October 2027. Guests who book by 31 August 2026 will receive €100 onboard bar credit per cabin and a complimentary traditional Croatian village dining experience.

The offer applies to 15 selected departures sailing along Croatia’s spectacular Dalmatian Coast, with fares starting from £1,842 per person.

Explore Croatia Beyond the Crowds

Unlike larger cruise ships, Unforgettable Croatia’s boutique vessels carry a maximum of just 36 guests, allowing access to smaller harbours and quieter islands that many mainstream cruise lines cannot reach.

Most itineraries sail between Split and Dubrovnik, combining Croatia’s famous highlights with lesser-visited gems. Along the way, guests can visit destinations including:

  • The UNESCO-listed town of Trogir

  • The lively island of Hvar

  • Historic Korčula

  • Peaceful Vis

  • Mljet National Park

  • Krka National Park

Daily swim stops in secluded bays are also a signature feature of the cruises, giving passengers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea.

What’s Included?

The seven-night cruises are designed as a premium, all-inclusive-style experience. The fare includes:

  • Luxury airport transfers

  • Daily breakfast

  • Three-course lunches

  • Selected evening dinners

  • Guided sightseeing excursions

  • Professional cruise director

  • Expert talks and destination insights

  • Complimentary use of water sports equipment

  • Daily swimming stops

The complimentary Croatian village dinner included in the early booking promotion offers travellers the chance to experience authentic local cuisine and traditions away from the usual tourist hotspots.

New Themed Cruises for 2027

Alongside its regular coastal itineraries, Unforgettable Croatia is introducing two themed voyages for 2027.

The new Croatia Heritage Cruise will sail aboard MV Bellissima, focusing on Croatia’s history and culture as it travels between Šibenik and Dubrovnik.

Food lovers can choose the new Food and Wine Cruise aboard MV Adris, which sails from Dubrovnik to Split, showcasing regional wines and traditional Dalmatian cuisine throughout the voyage.

Growing Demand for Small-Ship Cruising

Luxury small-ship cruising continues to grow in popularity as more travellers seek intimate experiences, personalised service and access to destinations that larger ships simply cannot reach.

With 136 guaranteed departures scheduled throughout 2027, Unforgettable Croatia is significantly expanding its programme while maintaining its boutique approach.

Commenting on the launch, co-founder Graham Carter said the company’s six luxury ships allow guests to experience both Croatia’s famous coastal towns and its lesser-known islands in a relaxed, uncrowded environment.

Cruise Lowdown

If Croatia is on your travel wish list, booking early could offer excellent value. Alongside the complimentary onboard credit and traditional village dinner, securing a sailing now gives you the widest choice of departure dates, ships and cabin categories before the most popular cruises begin to sell out.

With boutique ships, scenic coastal cruising and immersive local experiences, these voyages offer a very different alternative to the large-ship Mediterranean cruise experience.
