Unforgettable Travel Company has expanded its global employee benefits scheme, including generous benefits for Unforgettable Croatia’s Australian team.
The updated 2026 program enhances support across wellbeing, family life, long-term loyalty and personal development, while reinforcing the company’s long-standing commitment to travel enrichment.
At the heart of the scheme remains the operator’s £1000 (approx. A$2000) annual ‘Travel Enrichment Fund’ for every employee, supporting first-hand exploration of destinations worldwide. This is complemented by discounted personal travel for staff and their families across more than 50 destinations, alongside regular educational trips designed to improve product knowledge.
New aspects of the program include the introduction of a ‘Family Horizons Fund’, offering up to £2500 (approx. $5000) towards fertility treatment, adoption or surrogacy; enhanced family leave, including five months’ fully paid maternity and adoption leave and expanded paid paternity leave; and a ‘Business Travel Childcare Allowance’ to support parents when work requires time abroad. The company has also introduced ‘pawternity’ leave, recognising pets as part of the family.
Wellbeing has been further strengthened with improved private healthcare support, subsidised gym memberships and enhanced sick pay. Mental health support now includes a company-funded Calm app subscription, while employees aged over 45 are offered comprehensive health checks.
Long-term loyalty is being rewarded with employees reaching five years’ service now offered a choice of a £2000 (approx. A$4000) cash bonus or a 30-day paid sabbatical, while 10-year milestones are marked with a £5000 (approx. A$9900) bucket-list travel contribution.
Graham Carter, co-founder at Unforgettable Travel Company which includes Unforgettable Croatia, said: “Since launching our original benefits program, our team has grown globally and so have their needs. This latest evolution reflects what our people have told us matters most – flexibility, wellbeing, family support and the freedom to travel and keep learning. Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, and we believe this is one of the most thoughtful and generous packages in the industry”.
With growing interest in Unforgettable Croatia’s luxury small-ship cruises – Australians now make up one in five guests onboard – the company doubled its Australian presence last year. As Unforgettable Croatia’s Australian employees, based in Melbourne, Aurore Bertomeu and Carmela Pascuzzi are eligible for the benefits program.
