Cruise Croatia's 7-Nights Luxury Digital Detox Wellness Cruise is the ultimate luxury and wellness cruise, taking guests on a journey featuring yoga, meditation, clean eating and a comprehensive destination list featuring nine of Croatia's best seaside ports, but there's a catch: your cell phone is banned.

With sunrise meditation and yoga sessions that prepare for a day of activity and exploration, guests can detach themselves from their emails or social media to begin truly experiencing their journey, without distractions.

The itinerary begins in Dubrovnik and ends in Split, so guests can add on extra days in both cities before and after the cruise. Highlights of the journey include the Krka National Park, an exploration of Bisevo Island's Blue Cave and a skinny dipping experience in Hvar's sea.

"Sometimes, making real change requires you to get rid of long-held habits and shift your mindset-two things that are much easier to do when you can step away from the grind of daily life and retreat to a place that supports your desire for change through physical, psychological, and spiritual offerings," said Graham Carter, Group Director of Cruise Croatia.

"That's why we designed this wellbeing cruise as we recognize the importance of focusing on ourselves and our health-especially after such a turbulent eighteen months. The decision of asking guests to surrender their digital gadgets as they board was a simple one too, as it is only when we really switch off from the daily grind that we can realign with ourselves and the world around us," Carter added.

The cruise begins at $3,392 per person and begins sailing on October 1, 2022.
