Unforgettable Croatia shares first look of MV Aretis
Luxury small-ship cruise line Unforgettable Croatia has shared a first look at its new vessel, MV Aretis, ahead of its maiden season
The 36-guest ship, which is the first of its kind to be built in Croatia in the past four years, joined the Unforgettable Croatia fleet in July 2025 and will operate 19 seven-night sailings between Dubrovnik and Split through to October 2025.
The line has made a 20 per cent investment in the build, securing exclusive use of MV Aretis, which is purpose-built for coastal cruising and features 18 en-suite cabins measuring up to 160 square feet.
The upper deck includes a restaurant and bar, a large sundeck and a covered lounge area with sofas, loungers and a jacuzzi.
The ship will offer daily swim stops on each sailing and complimentary use of snorkelling equipment, stand-up paddleboards, a sea kayak and floatation gear. In addition, Wi-Fi, tea, coffee and filtered water are included.
Graham Carter, co-founder of Unforgettable Croatia, said: “We’re incredibly proud to introduce MV Aretis to our growing fleet. The demand for luxury small-ship cruising continues to rise, as travellers look for more immersive and intimate ways to experience destinations.
“MV Aretis is one of the most stylish and elegant vessels ever built in Croatia, and we believe she offers a truly amazing way to discover the Dalmatian coast. We can’t wait to welcome our guests onboard this season.”
Unforgettable Croatia’s 2025 season began in May and concludes in October, with 135 seven-night departures on offer. Itineraries sail between Split and Dubrovnik, with ports of call including Trogir and Hvar, alongside Korcula, Vis and the national parks of Mljet and Krka.
