UNFORGETTABLE Croatia has reported a marked increase in bookings through the trade this year.

The record-breaking season for the luxury small-ship operator saw almost a quarter (24%) more bookings through partners compared to last year.

More than 1,300 guests booked via an agent, as Unforgettable Croatia marked the conclusion of its May-Oct sailing season.

Revenue and bookings were both up almost 50% from Australia for the season, with local travellers now accounting for 15% of all guests on board.

The upswing in local bookings coincided with the arrival of European Travel Specialist Aurore Bertomeu earlier this year, who is based in Melbourne.

“We’d like to thank agents for all their support in achieving this significant increase in bookings,” Chief Commercial Officer Graham Carter said.

“We can’t wait to see how our relationships develop in 2025 and beyond,” he said.
