For centuries, Croatia was passed between the Illyrian, Roman, Christian, Venetian and Austrian empires, each leaving behind their own cultural impression.

Cannes Thousands of Luxury Yachts Film Festival Yacht Charter Guide

The formal program takes place in the Palais des Festivals - the main convention center in Cannes where there are several theaters showing movies nearly non-stop for the entirety of the event. The Palais is directly next to the Old Port of Cannes, and it is a long standing practice to charter a super yacht and use it to attract and entertain clients. It is truly an incredible sight to see many of the world's finest Super Yachts all lined up along the Jetée Edouard Albert, resplendent in the branding of the key players of the film industry.

Once a year in May, Cannes becomes the center of the entertainment world, as the movie industry congregates on the French Riviera to view films, cut deals, party, and award the best films and achievements of the past year.

However, yacht charter at the Cannes Film Festival is not restricted to Super Yachts at the port, exhibitors and show attendees book yachts for all types of events. The Cannes Film Festival occurs around the same time as the Monaco Grand Prix, so you can extend your stay and charter for two of the most glamourous and prestigious events in the world!

7 Most Important Travel Trends for Trends And Destinations 2018

Travel experts at the recent Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas shared their predictions for 2017, 2018 and beyond. Travel is changing as trends in modern society are making leisure, entertainment and lifestyles completely different! This blog will discuss three trends which have been growing over the past year or so, how they will affect holidays and trips, and why a yacht charter can mould to all of these trends!

Experience Driven Travel: People want to go on adventures, so they can tell stories about places and people rather than showcase objects. Whilst products and purchases used to signal a successful holiday, nowadays video footage of activities, and memories of new hobbies have overtaken the materialistic drive.

A yacht charter enables you to try out a variety of different water sport activities, with the luxury of skilled crew onboard to show you the ropes. Also, a yacht provides the advantage of visiting places most people can’t reach, creating stories and memories to be cherished for a lifetime.

Calm Consumer: Relaxation has been a growing trend for a few years, and this is now extending into holidays. Simple travels is what people desire. Many people feel the journeys, planning and organisation of a holiday can take away the enjoyment itself!

Travellers are looking to slow down and feel relaxed after their holiday, rather than needing another one! Yacht charters are ideal for this, as the private space creates a tranquil setting to eat exactly what foods you want, stop at private beaches and tailor your itinerary to your exact preferences.

A Better Me: People want to be the best versions of themselves. Instead of coming back from holiday with nothing to show but several pounds of extra weight and sizzled brain cells from sunbathing, people want to learn new things as a form of entertainment. In this day and age people want to be active in their leisure time, which means travel itineraries are changing. Consumers want a nearby gym to stay fit, to learn new skills and consume healthier foods.

This also links to social media, as people only show the happiest and most luxurious photos to showcase their enviable lifestyle to their friends. What better way to do this than have your own private yacht, with an attentive crew taking you to the secluded coves and fine dining restaurants in the country of your choice!

Get in touch with one of our brokers so we can personalise the perfect itinerary to match these emerging trends for this year, meaning you can have the ideal trip with your family and friends!
