You can bag a free cruise in Croatia this summer but only if you take holiday photos

Intrepid explorers dreaming of Croatia holidays could bag a glamorous cruise around the holiday hotspot this summer - and all you need to do in return is take photos throughout your trip.

Sail Croatia is currently offering free cruises for 2022 which include your onboard accommodation, breakfast and lunch, and a whole host of perks including being able to enjoy some of the glamorous excursions on the itinerary.

Basically, it's the perfect excuse to finally explore some of Croatia's best islands, most amazing beaches, and of course all of the biggest sights not to miss.

In return, you'll be asked to create wanderlust-inducing content that Sail Croatia can use on its website, whether that be beautiful photos, eye-catching videos or more.

There are a variety of cruises ranging from one to three weeks long, and applicants will be 'matched' to their best fit.

Examples include luxury sailings aimed at mature travellers, explorer cruises for those in their 20s and 30s, party sailings for 18-39 year olds, cruises to some of the best cycling spots, and cruises for hikers that visit some of Croatia's most beautiful walking locations.

The cruises are sailing between April and October, so you'll get to enjoy the best of the summer sunshine, with departures from both Split and Dubrovnik.

Think you'd be perfect for the role? Applications are open on the Sail Croatia website. There are differing applications whether you're looking to go for the photographer, videographer or social media influencer openings.

Grant Seuren, Sail Croatia director, said: "If you’ve got creative flair, the right experience and an engaged audience - plus of course a love of travel - this is an amazing opportunity to embrace those skills in a truly inspirational setting.

"We’re encouraging photographers, videographers and social media influencers of all experiences and backgrounds to apply; if you think you’ve got what it takes to sail with us then we’d love to hear from you."

Don't be disheartened if this opportunity isn't the right fit for you. If you've always wanted to tick Croatia off the bucket list, there are plenty of ways to do so without needing to break the bank.

For a start, we've got a guide to all the best holiday deals from airlines, travel firms and cruise lines that we think are worth being on your radar, the majority of which include getaways in Croatia.

Meanwhile our Croatia holidays page is regularly updated with the latest travel rules, best places to visit and more holiday inspiration such as great hotels, city break guides and even a guide to some of the country's ridiculously beautiful national parks that all intrepid explorers need on the bucket list.
