Luxury small-ship cruise line Unforgettable Croatia will add a new-build ship to its fleet in 2025, catering to rising demand.
The 36-guest MV Aretis is the first ship of its kind to be built in Croatia in three years. It will join the Unforgettable Croatia fleet in the northern spring next year, offering 19 seven-night departures from Dubrovnik to Split and return between 7 June and 11 October.
The vessel will then operate the full summer season in 2026, offering 24 departures.

Unforgettable Croatia has partnered with the Radež shipyard in Korcula and made a 20% investment in the build process which allows exclusive use of MV Aretis through 2025, 2026 and 2027.
“We’re very proud to announce the introduction of MV Aretis to the Unforgettable Croatia fleet,” said Graham Carter, Chief Commercial Officer.
“Demand for luxury small-ship cruising is growing, as guests seek out holidays with a difference, exploring destinations that larger vessels simply cannot visit. MV Aretis will be one of the most stylish and elegant ships ever built in Croatia, offering a luxurious and intimate cruise experience. We cannot wait to welcome guests onboard”.
The ship will feature 18 ensuite cabins measuring up to 15 sqm, with a restaurant and bar area on the upper deck. The outside of the ship will have a sundeck and covered outdoor lounge area with sofas, sun loungers and a jacuzzi.
Other fun features will be the inclusion of swim stops, the use of stand-up paddleboards and a sea kayak along with floaties, goggles, snorkels and fins.
