Unforgettable Croatia has added two themed small-ship cruises to its 2027 programme, giving couples a more focused way into the Dalmatian coast than a standard island-hopping itinerary.
The seven-night Croatia Heritage Cruise departs Dubrovnik on 1 May and 9 October 2027 aboard the 36-guest MV Bellissima, sailing north to Sibenik from A$4,204 per person. The itinerary is built around the cultural and historical layers of the coast rather than the scenery alone. It opens with a visit to a silk atelier in the Konavle Valley, moves through the ancient salt pans and oyster farms of Mali Ston, a traditional peka dinner in Korcula, wine tasting in Hvar, Cold War military tunnels on Vis, and a guided visit to the UNESCO-listed Sibenik Cathedral with insight into Dalmatian stone masonry. An olive oil tasting at a mill near Krka National Park closes the journey.
The seven-night Food and Wine Cruise departs Dubrovnik on 8 May and 9 October 2027 aboard the 36-guest MV Adris, sailing to Omis near Split from A$3,717 per person. The culinary thread runs through every port: a food-focused walking tour of Dubrovnik, unlimited oyster and mussel tasting on a private island in Mali Ston, a peka dinner in Korcula, a winery visit in Hvar, indigenous Vugava wine tasting inside historic military tunnels on Vis, and a closing olive oil tasting at a family estate in Omis.
Both itineraries include luxury transfers, daily breakfast, three-course lunches, select dinners, guided tours, daily swim stops and the services of a professional cruise director. The 2027 season runs May to October across six ships with 131 sailings in total.
