It’s day two aboard Unforgettable Croatia’s MV Aretis luxury yacht and my mum has already broken one of the golden rules of cruising: don’t talk about politics. It’s the first of a few frowns I will express on a seven-night sailing around Croatia’s Dalmatian coast as I wonder if a son and mum trip can work.
Mother and daughter holidays are a regular travel trend, but you don’t see as much about sons taking their mums away. I’m often told that my brother and I don’t ring my mum enough (or at all), while my sister speaks with her almost everyday. So as we sat in the Main Salon bar and restaurant of the beautiful MV Aretis with new American friends and I try to steer the conversation away from Donald Trump, I am finally getting credit for spending time with my mother.
