| Croatia rewards top agents

A number of top-selling agents from around the world were recently invited by Unforgettable Croatia on board My Wish for a seven-night journey along the Croatian coast.

Cruising from Sibenik to Dubrovnik, the group of 15 agents plus their travel companions were hosted on the trip by Head of Global Sales David Stone.

Company founder Graham Carter also joined the cruise for a few days to express his thanks to the group for their ongoing support and sales expertise.

Carter’s visit coincided with a massive white party on the ship’s sun deck, complete with free-flowing drinks and a captain’s dinner, all backed with a live band belting out tracks to keep the party going.

“Unforgettable Croatia is on track to secure its highest-ever occupancy rate in 2025 – currently in excess of 98% – and the trade has been instrumental to this success,” Carter said.

“In Australia alone, bookings are up 27% and revenue is up 39% year-on-year, with Australian travellers now accounting for 20% of all guests on board our small-ship Croatia cruises.”

The voyage included daily three-course lunches, a cocktail welcome dinner and daily stops for some swimming and use of the ship’s watersport equipment.

On land, the group enjoyed visits to Trogir, Split, Brac, Jelsa, Hvar, Korcula, Slano and Ston, with highlights including a chance to sample freshly shucked oysters.

The group also participated in a guided tour of Krka National Park, and were shown around the Diocletian Palace in Split and Dubrovnik old town. ML
