A guide will be on hand throughout, and prices start from £539pp.

Trips will operate from April to October, 2023, and additional 2023 cruise departures will be added based on initial demand.

Private yacht tours and yacht charters are also available for private sailing experiences.

Grant Seuren, director of Sail Croatia, said: “Croatia is an increasingly sought-after holiday destination thanks to its glorious sunshine, eye-catching destinations and crystal clear waters.

“We’ve seen a steep increase in demand from UK guests over the past few months as travel opens up and dream holidays once again become a reality.

“With a wealth of cruise options to select – from relaxing in luxury as the Croatian coastline drifts by, to partying the night away with your fellow revellers – we really do have a holiday to suit all tastes and budgets.”
