Sail Croatia was a wonderful fun experience and we will definitely be returning. We met great people and will be having a reunion with our new friends in a couple of years time. Our experience was greatly enhanced by our wonderful Cruise Manager Anita who is a delight to be around. 5 Stars from us and Thank you!

What a wonderful trip we had! Our time on the boat (Olimp), was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had! The ship was so comfortable and the crew was outstanding. From our director, Lola to our captain, George, our servers, Ellie and Linda, the chefs and all the crew, we were in very capable hands. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. It was truly the best way to see Croatia!

We travelled as a group of two couples (myself, my husband, and my parents) and we had a beautiful week sailing on Esperanza. The swim stops were wonderful, all the islands were beautiful, and the organisation was top notch. I would highly recommend a trip like this. Special mention to the crew and to Klara our representative for all their patience with us.

Our time on the Romantic Star was great. Peter & I enjoyed it all, Vicko our rep was incredibly knowledgeable & friendly while also professional, the staff were there when needed & nothing requested was a problem. From swim stops to tours, (some tours better than others), it was all enjoyed while making friends along the way. My only regret was not writing down the name of the chef on board so I could personally thank her & publicly speak her name & of her talents in the kitchen, her food was excellent!

Our trip to Croatia was incredible. We wanted to give special recognition to Anita, our cruise manager! She was organized, shared helpful knowledge about the places we were visiting and truly made everything so easy for us. All we had to do was be there and enjoy the time. The service of our entire crew was top notch. Each member was very pleasant and provided world class service. We would highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Had a great time! Beautiful scenery, fun swim stops and interesting walking tours. Vedran was our tour manager and was excellent. Food was great and huge quantities. All of the staff were great- Lucy, Pamela, and the Joseph’s. Rooms were bigger than expected, quiet, and AC worked great. Only downside- not enough places to hang wet things. Our group was very compatible with people from US, New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania, and Cypress. I thought the walking tours were excellent. We will recommend this cruise and the company to all of our friends.

Our trip to Croatia with Sail Croatia was pure perfection! We sailed on the Katarina, which was first class all the way. The accommodations, the marvelous captain, his crew and Klara, our tour manager were the absolute best!! IF I could give 10 stars I would. I highly recommend Sail Croatia for your trip to this beautiful country.

Everything was well organized, beginning with the airport transfer and warm greeting at the harbour. The ship "Queen Jelena" is elegant and has an exclusive onboard atmosphere. Our cruise director, Vedran, was exceptional, always well prepared, professional, informative and friendly. The service, food and entire crew managed every detail with care. Till next time... .Many thanks again.

We have been all over the world and had some amazing experiences from dogsledding in Alaska, riding the Rocky Mountaineer through Canada and walking the Camino through Spain but nothing will ever top this cruise. Our ship had just 15 other guests who were all wonderful friendly people. Every meal was a taste sensation and every day was filled with swimming in clear blue 27° water, visiting magnificent villages and experiencing a wonderfully vibrant part of the world. Thank you to Sail Croatia!
- Maureen, 25/08/2026 20:42, Travelled with Family
Our cruise holiday was idyllic from every standpoint! The Olimp luxury yacht offered a most unique cruise experience which felt very singular. We were indulged with a daily dip in the Adriatic’s crystalline and refreshing waters in tiny private coves where we could swim, snorkel or paddle board. It was a true highlight! The smaller cruise format allowed passengers to forge a more intimate interaction with one another which truly made for a memorable sail. The crew worked tirelessly in preparing gourmet fare, cocktails and catering to our every whim while maintaining an immaculate ship. Our Tour Director, Dino with his mega watt smile was always most eager to address any issues, offer tips and make solid resto recommendations - unfailingly! We thoroughly enjoyed our family cruise through the splendid Dalmatian coast - a 5-star experience!
- Carole, 25/08/2026 19:07, Travelled with Family
We loved the destinations we went to and the daily swim spots selected by the Captain. We were very impressed with the great service we received from our cruise director Klara. She made sure all our needs were met in s friendly, cheerful manner

My husband and I traveled to Croatia ,to see the country of my maternal grandparents. It was an incredible experience! The people of Croatia are helpful and welcoming. Many people speak excellent English which helps when asking for directions. The cities we visited were easily accessible along the Croatian coastline. There were some places that were challenging to access, due to stairs. We were able to climb at our own pace. The small ship, Olimp, was lovely, clean and comfortable. I appreciated the fact that if I was tired, or the weather was too hot, I could return to the ship and relax . After breakfast, we swam in a small cove everyday. What made the trip even more enjoyable, was meeting fellow passengers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. I absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience Croatia.
- Rita, 25/08/2026 12:41, Travelled with Family
Everything was amazing, staff, swim stops, food and excursions, cabins, islands. I would do this again in a heart beat they made us feel very spoilt and well looked after we had a great group of people and made new life long friends.
- Marion, 25/08/2026 06:46, Travelled with Family
Our trip on board the Katarina was much more than we had imagined! The boat was so comfortable with lots of space to spread out or cozy when you wanted to be with others. The staff were so friendly and helpful and always smiling despite the many hours they were putting in. Our guide “V”. Was so sweet and funny and very knowledgeable! He briefed us on all the islands! “I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE AND I OWE IT ALL TO YOU”” lol
- Denise, 28/07/2026 22:26, Travelled with Family
Every aspect of this holiday is great - the crew, the itinerary, the food , the relaxation around the secluded swim areas and the differing coastline destination culture & vibe. We were incredibly fortunate to have a great bunch of fellow travellers . Best of all was Dino our lead as he was fantastic in going above and beyond to make special arrangements for my husband who has a lung condition so that he did not miss out on any adventure. Overall a highly recommended week of relaxation where everything is done for you and your brain can just switch off .

The ship accommodations were just right for us with a relatively spacious room and plenty of room on the boat to spread out. We loved the smaller ship stops and the planned excursions available to us that were small adventures along the way. Our host and crew were exceptionally nice and helpful in meeting our needs. The only thing missing would be access to the TV aboard the ship.

Truly a trip of a lifetime. Croatia is gorgeous and this is the best way to really get a glimpse of this wonderful country. The staff of the Katarina were amazing and ensured that we had an exceptional experience. The food, service, absolutely everything was top notch. Not to be missed experience.
- Kathy Keough, 23/06/2026 00:52, Travelled with Family
From pre-boarding to waiting for different transportation upon departure, the experience was seamless. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with my family and other passengers on the boat. Our cruise manager Dino did amazing with constant and clear communication, being available for anything we needed whenever, and the knowledge and pride in their country to share with all of us. I was the youngest on the group by 40 years yet I still had such a fun time at the swim spots and islands we visited. The food was great, crew did amazing with everything and I was thoroughly comfortable throughout my entire stay. Highly recommend and I will be back with more friends and family in the future!

My husband and I had a fantastic time on this cruise. Croatia is a beautiful country and what a perfect way to see it for first time. A great itinerary - nice mix of organized activity and free time. Swim stops were amazing. Dino and the crew went out of their way to ensure we were safe and well looked after. Dino had recommendations, solutions, ideas, suggestions for everything we could have wanted or needed. The Captain’s dinner and group dinner in Žrnovo village were extra special. The walking tour with Nik in Žrnovo was a fascinating view into traditional village life years ago - we could have listened to him all evening. Terrific food on board! We had a great group of travel companions and left the cruise with new friends and memories for a lifetime.

Our 7 days on Esperanza were wonderful from Karla our tour leader, to our esteemed captain who took us safely to port each day with an eye on the weather and our safety in mind. The breakfasts and lunches each day were delicious with excellent care from the bar/wait staff. The crew members were quick to help and got us docked with minimum fuss and our housekeeper kept our cabins tidied each day. The islands visited were delightful and made one want return one day. Karla gave us excellent information about each port and island and was willing to assist in every way.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week on the Esperanza from Dubrovnik to Split. The crew is exceptional. They can't do enough. The islands we visited were charming. Not too crowded. The swim stops at these remote locations were beautiful (though the water was chilly). The food on board was good and plentiful.

Words cannot express the wonderful experience we had on the Sail Croatia Olimp. The people were warm and friendly and went way out of their way to provide top notch service. Always friendly, available and accommodating, we felt so well cared for. The food was incredible, ans we always felt safe wherever we went, We had swim stops, history tours, and rest time. Being on the turquoise blue Adriatic Sea and relaxing in the sun made it the perfect holiday. Don’t hesitate to book a trip on the lovely and well maintained yacht with these beautiful people. 🇭🇷🛥️
- Leigh, 09/06/2026 10:09, Travelled with Family
Very good. Boat was beautiful, so clean and well maintained. Staff were a little aloof but service was good. Rooms and bathrooms very good size. Bar could do with more spirits and a coravin system to avoid serving oxidised wines. Our guide was lovely. Be nice if the captain dressed in uniform and mixed a little. Swim stops were the highlight.
- Val, 27/05/2026 11:40, Travelled with Family
The trip from Dubrovnik to Split was awesome. I have been in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years and I would like to offer some suggestions: -towels need to be dried some way, we had to use them wet. -shower floor is very slippery, you might want to do something. -regular coffee and bread can be better at breakfast. Sweet bread was fine. -Lunch can be better as well. Dessert when made by the lady cook was awesome. she is really good. All the crew offered a fantastic and warm service at all times.. congratulations for that. Ally and Linda worked non stop and the boys as well. Captain was a lot of fun and so friendly and easy going. He did a very good job. Having the boat from Blue Cave take us directly to the ship was a great idea. thank you. Jacuzzi was a little small for a big crowd and we had to take turns. -Dinning room was very noisy during meals. Too many people in a small area. I wish we could extend and eat outside. Thank you and congratulations

My husband and I travelled with Sail Croatia on May 17, 2025 on Romantic Star for a wine tour of the Dalmatian islands. The yacht is very well appointed and the room size was surprisingly roomy for the ship. Our stops were well coordinated and the Croatian wines we sampled were very good. Included 3 course lunches were good. The crew were helpful and our cruise director Klara was a plus. We highly recommend this company.
- Jo-Anne, 26/05/2026 03:08, Travelled with Family
If I could give this cruise a ten I would. This was a trip of a lifetime! The entire crew and our guide Vicko took wonderful care of our entire group. The food cooked by the ship’s chef was delicious and the stops along the way were amazing. We learned a lot about the history of each area and could do as much or as little as we wanted. Everyday we had a swim stop followed by a delicious lunch before docking at that day’s destination. We walked, swam, hiked, biked and also relaxed with afternoon and evening cocktails and local dinners. I always said I would never go on a cruise and if you feel the same this is the one to go on. I highly recommend this trip and the ship we were on, Kraljica Jelena.

My husband and I travelled with my parents and we had the best time! Dino, George, Linda, Allie and the rest of the crew were amazing and did everything possible to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. We could have not been happier with the trip! Since I didn’t get to fill out the iPad survey on the ship I have a few minor suggestions: My husband would have preferred breakfast that wasn’t the same every morning. The shower floor was very slippery so a mat in the bottom would have been nice. The dining room was very loud when we were all there so more softer surfaces to absorb the noise would help. The days were arranged so nicely and we felt taken care of very well. Thank you!!

My two siblings, their spouses and I wanted to do a siblings trip, and chose the Wines of Croatia tour, the first of the 2026 season. Anita was our cruise director, and she was what made this trip so fantastic! With only 18 passengers, it was a super fun group. Anita was so helpful and friendly, which also seems to describe most of the people we met in Croatia! She's great at planning and communicating, and a pleasure to be with. The wine events are terrific and so varied! And evenings where you may want to find a restaurant (sometimes the wine events include dinner), Anita sent us recommendations in the ports for meals and things worth seeing. Chef Silvija did a fine job, and we enjoyed "cookie time" at 11am. Glad we all opted for the Blue Lagoon (short visit, but worth the trip!). Dubrovnik was where we ended our trip - amazing place, but if I had a choice, I'd start my trip there as we had culture shock with the huge crowds. Rooms lovely, and bedding comfy. Great captain and crew!

It's a very nice boat and wonderful crew! The ports were all fabulous. We loved each island that we visited. The food was plentiful and well prepared. We had unseasonably cool weather, but we were still able to enjoy a swim stop or two. We could always find a spot to enjoy cruising. Our cruise manager, Vedron was warm and friendly. He had a great sense of humor and gave wonderful port talks. We especially enjoyed the bike tour in Mljet National Park and the Military tour on Hvar. I would have like another opportunity to do a bike tour on another island possibly.

Number one, the staff was excellent! From the time we entered onto the ship to the time we got off they were always there when we needed them. If someone also had food issues, they were also accommodating to the persons needs. The director, Ivan, also personalized, and went above and beyond some of the things to help us and make our experience very memorable! The staff also in charge of swimming, cooking, serving, cleaning, bartending were all very friendly. Second, the ship was in great condition and kept clean. Third, the two tours that were included were great with Ivan. Fourth, the Captain’s dinner was great and the band was excellent! And, the people that were on the ship with us ended up to be the best and we all had so much fun together! A feeling of family! Ivan, the director was superb!! Captain Ivan was also superb!

Our Tour Manager Vicko took such good care of us and brought Croatia and its history to life with his informative daily talks on the culture and history of each island we sailed to.

My sisters and I loved our trip on Sail Croatia. The itinerary was one of the prettiest I have ever experienced in my travel. We were able to anchor up in areas that a bigger ship would never be able to negotiate. The day flowed perfectly with a swim stop in the morning and time to explore the next island in the afternoon. Anita was our tour director who was excellent and made travel seamless.

She is very knowledgeable about Croatia’s history, top things to do on each island, always goes the extra mile and consistently to ensure guests are well versed in all possibilities, she over delivers on every aspect of the role and has a great communication style, very light and funny. The crew is wonderful as well, very hard working and dedicated to their jobs. The cook staff was incredibly talented, and meals were delicious. And the captain was just lovely. Definitely one of the cleanest sails I have ever experienced. I would absolutely recommend the Olimp, it’s a family-owned boat and the Captain is the son of the owner.

Anita had so many ideas of ways to explore each destination that it was easy to pick the excursion experiences that were right for our family. She was always available for questions, provided endless tips and tricks to optimize our time in Croatia, and was simply delightful to be around. She said we'd leave this week feeling like a family, and she was spot on! Queen Jelena, including the Captain and crew, were gracious, passionate about service, and attentive to our every need. The food was truly EXCEPTIONAL. Hats off to the chef and sous chef...AMAZING food!!! The locations of our swim stops were fantastic. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea at these picturesque, unique little coves is something we will never forget. Thank you Anita, Sail Croatia & the Captain/Crew of Queen Jelena!

We had a fabulous trip made special by being on the superb immaculate Katarina with an excellent crew. Our host from Sail Croatia was Kara who was outstanding at her job and made everyday a fun and enjoyable experience!
- Nicola, 11/06/2025 10:15, Travelled with Family
The itinerary, the crew/staff, and comfort of the bedrooms/bath were top-notch. We truly enjoyed the daily swim stops (whether we swam or not), each gorgeous island, and the ship's facilities. Our tour manager, Klara, took very good care of us, with excellent recommendations at each stop.
- Carrie, 09/06/2025 17:31, Travelled with Family
The trip was easy to book, with lots of helpful tips and instructions on how to find to the ship in Split harbour. The itinerary was just perfect, island hopping everyday and stopping for swimming while spending a relaxing morning sailing and sunbathing on deck. Our tour host, Dino, made our trip truly memorable as well as the other guests we spent our week with. Dino was amazing, such a delightful guy. Our group is still messaging each other on the WhatsApp chat that Dino set up. We were informed each day of what to expect, what we could see, what time we were setting off, where to eat, drink, best places for anything that any guest was looking for. The holiday was a delightful balance of being well looked after whilst freedom to see/do as much as we wanted. Remember to bring more long-sleeved clothing if travelling in May as evenings are cool. Lunch was a tasty 3-course cooked meal which I would have preferred as a buffet selection personally. Definitely recommend the trip!

This was an amazing holiday. A great way to see Croatia . The food was truly amazing. The staff were also amazing. We had such a great time and would sail with this company again .

A fantastic relaxing 7 nights on the Romantic Star, Elegance cruise. A brilliant way to see the Croatian islands. Excellent service on board from our Captain Ivan, all the crew and our Tour Manager, Ioanna, who put 150% into making sure we all had a good time. The food was delicious and from beginning to end we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Every detail had been carefully planned to make the holiday perfect. I’d like to do it again soon and will certain recommend Sail Croatia to my friends and family.

Our Tour Manager, and a professional crew The Group of wonderful people ( now friends) Croatia experience first time. Excellent planned Wine Cruise., very comfortable ship (Jelena) Reducing the rating from 5* to 4* only because the wine tastings fell short of my expectations.
- Catherine, 22/10/2024 10:02, Travelled with Family
Sailed on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik and back. It was great to visit some smaller destinations. We were extremely well looked after by all the crew. A special mention has to go to our guide Ioana who brought her energy every day.
- Wendy, 16/10/2024 08:13, Travelled with Family
We travelled up the Croatian Coast in Oct. 2024. The trip was simply terrific. The itinerary was first rate, the crew could not do enough to accommodate us, the ship was beautiful, and the food was better than restaurants. Overall we are recommending this type of travel, with Sail Croatia, to all of our friends.
- Anonymous, 15/10/2024 02:27, Travelled with Family
The ship was comfortable and quite luxurious. Staff were very helpful and always pleasant The food was excellent. Congratulations to the chefs The cabin was cleaned daily and towels and bedding changed. Well done to the maid The captain changed the route when necessary to enjoy a safe venue and sheltered areas to swim. Being able to use the drop down platform enabled me to enjoy the daily swim stop. I would not have been able to do the swimming without it. Captain and crew did everything to enhance our experience. The travel guide V was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour. All in all a very positive and memorable trip. I woul highly recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you Sail Croatia and staff of Olimp.

1. The wifi should work better. 2. For the price of the trip, I expected that we would have access to a good coffee machine 24/7. The urns provided were not satisfactory. 3. The excursions were overpriced. 4. The “included” tour of Dubrovnik should have included a bus to take passengers to the old town. 5. There should be enough treats during the coffee and tea hour (11-12) so everyone has a chance to get a snack. 6. The staff were friendly. 7. The boat was well kept. 8. Our rooms were kept clean. 9. The price of wine (bottles and glasses) were overpriced. 10. The captain’s dinner was very nice. It would have been better if wine was included.

Hi there, thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the friendly staff, cleanliness of the ship, and the Captain’s Dinner. However, we are sorry to hear of your disappointment with some aspects. In regards to the Wi-Fi, it is subject to download limits and coverage can be inconsistent while out at sea. We aim to provide as much informaiton for the excursions offered and details are transparently outlined on our website. We appreciate your comments on the coffee machine. Coffee and tea is available during saloon hours, with additional snacks upon request. We strive for competitive drink prices and appreciate your suggestion of including wine with the Captain’s Dinner. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate all your comments, thank you.
Not sure where to even start - we had smiles on our faces from the moment we were greeted by our cruise rep for the trip, Vedran. He made us feel welcome and we knew we were in a fabulous trip! The staff of 7 (not including Vedran and Captain Gordan) did everything they could to make our 7 days the best they could ever be. Everyday we went to a new island full of beauty unlike anything we've ever seen! Vedran gave us some much education, information and recommendations at each location which was extremely helpful! His passion for Croatia is infectious! Our room was cleaned every morning by sweet Ella (a thank less job but very appreciated). Our room was very comfortable - we opted for a room on the lower level and it was perfect! The chefs - Frane and Ana, created a lovely breakfast and delicious, large lunches every day and they were great! Our waiters/baretenders - Tomo and Pamela - were so professional and so fun to get to know. I miss everyone so much! Until next time.
- Cristina, 20/09/2024 18:05, Travelled with Family
Mia, the team leader, and all of the crew. Together with the captain the made the whole experience. The captain navigated to ensure we missed nothing on our itinerary. We are looking to book another cruise next year.

Honestly every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming. Karolina was amazing and so warm.. we happened to board with a fantastic group of travellers all very kind and friendly. The boat is very comfortable and clean. The daily swims and perfect weather the cherry on the top.

Beautiful weather, fantastic crew and such a perfect start to our adventure. Couldn’t fault anything

I could not have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. The crew were wonderful, especially the guest co-ordinator Karolina. The boat is beautiful, clean and well appointed. The ports we visited were beautiful and each offered a unique experience. The daily swim stops were stunning and really made each day wonderful. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone needing a break or wanting to see and learn about beautiful Croatia. I hope to come back and do it again.
- Leslie, 10/09/2024 04:57, Travelled with Family
Thoroughly enjoyed cruising the Croatian islands on our Dubrovnik to Split and return to Dubrovnik tour. Each port we stopped at represented a lesson in history. Thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour in Split and Dubrovnik with the local guides as well as the fabulous dinner with wine in Stari Grad at a local farm restaurant. Our morning swimming stops were a pleasure and the food served on the boat was divine. But there were negatives: 1. Our lower level cabins were adjacent to the engine room therefore when the boat left port early in the morning, no further sleep or talking could be had. These cabins were priced the same as the forward lower level cabins which seems unfair. 2. No itemised bar bills were provided so you had to assume that what you were billed for, you actually drank. 3. The boats internet was rubbish. 4. When rafted up at port with other boats, crossing over was difficult at times due to the height of each boat I.e. need individual ramps and not step up or down.
- Rosalie, 05/09/2024 14:17, Travelled with Family
Dear Rosalie, Thank you for your detailed review and for sharing both the highlights and suggestions on both of your tours. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the historical walking tours, the fabulous dinner in Stari Grad, and the divine food onboard, as well as the beautiful morning swim stops in lovely secluded bays. We regret to hear that there were some aspects that had an impact on your overall cruise experience. Regarding the noise from the engines, as our ships are small motor cruisers, the engines do make some unavoidable noise when in operation, similar to a running car. We understand this may affect travelers differently, but it is part of the small ship experience. We are pleased to advise that we received a total customer score rating of 4.4/5 for your week onboard. Regarding the bar bill, guests are welcome to request an itemised bill each day to track their consumption. The Wi-Fi can be temperamental as it is subject to download limits and can experience reduced coverage while out at sea. The ramps between boats are designed for ease of movement, but due to the unique designs of each vessel, some variations in height are expected - we appreciate your suggestion of individual ramps. We thank you again for all your feedback and hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip.
Everything about our Elegance Cruise on Olimp was 5 star with wonderful staff, dining and ship facilities. The swim platform on our boat was the best we saw in Croatia. Wouldn’t hesitate to return on another trip.
- Beth, 26/08/2024 07:21, Travelled with Family
The Olimp and its crew were amazing, friendly and attentive . The yacht is gorgeous and the whole experience exceeded my expectation. The daily swims were fabulous, the daily lunches delicious and the excursions that Mia recommended were a lot of fun. Fellow passengers were a lot of fun and made it memorable as well. Thanks again to a wonderful captain George, his crew and Mia!! Looking forward to another trip in the future.
- Maria, 23/08/2024 18:21, Travelled with Family
I would have given this experience a 5* as almost everything was perfect with the exception of a few things. Beach towel for one person for the entire week is not acceptable. Changing of the bath towels every few days is also not acceptable. Breakfast time should be longer. Everything else was great !
- Cristina, 20/08/2024 17:31, Travelled with Family
The staff was excellent in every way. The ship was clean and comfortable and the places we sailed to were exceptional.

Cruise delivered as promised, a trip that had something for everyone and we were very happy with our decision to go with Sail Croatia! Vedran, our cruise director kept everything running like clockwork from the airport transfers to the excursions, responding to questions right away and making it all appear effortless though I am sure behind the scenes this was not easy! The other crew were very cheery the entire week and the ship was very clean. The chefs made us custom omelettes each morning for breakfast which were delicious! We also enjoyed getting to know the other travelers on the boat who were very friendly and nice. Would recommend to others looking for this type of experience.

Esperanza is a beautiful boat, with excellent crew who were so friendly and attentive in just the right way. My holiday was dreamy, a time to enjoy every moment, it was great fun, full of surprises and all set within the beauty of the Dalmatian Islands. Our guide was great fun and a mine of information, and the food was really lovely. It was nice to escape sometimes to our cool cabin as we travelled through a heatwave. Thank you to everyone who made my holiday so very special.

Our Sail Croatia trip was the perfect way for my husband and I to holiday with my parents for a week. Our Dubrovnik to Split trip on the beautiful Queen Jelena boat is a trip we will never forget. The staff were amazing, with special mention going to our wonderful host Mia. Mia had 37 passengers to look after, yet made us all feel special and well looked after. We were so lucky to have her as our host. The food was outstanding and the scenery wonderful. Loved our daily swims when our captain found a beautiful spot to anchor up for a few hours. Magic memories made, thank you Sail Croatia.
- Mandy, 02/07/2024 05:13, Travelled with Family
The trip was terrific! The guests on board were great and the crew was fantastic. We had so much fun in all the ports except Vela Luca was a terrible port. The wine tasting was mediocre and expensive and the restaurant options and night life there were terrible. Also, the village meal in Korcula was terrible. The town of Korcula was fun with many great restaurants, including a Michelin star restaurant. I would have MUCH preferred to be on my own that night. Lastly, when pulling into Dubrovnik, it would have been nice if the boat passed by the old city before heading to the port.

My sister and I recently had the incomparable pleasure of sailing on the OLIMP with 26 other passengers ,,, I was taken by the brilliance of its design and then realized it reflected the knowledge of 5 generations of captains sailing the Adriatic ~ Captain Juri actually designed this ship as well as expertly held the helm. The food was also nothing short of exceptional ~ especially accommodating my inability to have butter used in any dish ~ The quality of the food and its presentation was the better than any fine dining I have enjoyed on terra firma The entire staff were impeccable in their professional manner of attending to our needs. The morning swimming stops where we anchored in quiet coves was another special highlight as the stern of the ship transformed into a lovely walk into the water platform. The fact that the mornings were spent sailing from island to island, with a swimming stop when possible and our afternoons were our time to explore a new island each day with the extra offering of knowledgable walking tour guides and then enjoying our evening meals in the small destination towns gave us enough time to get the feel and flavour of each separate island. And after seven days on the Adriatic it felt like I had been away for three weeks.
- Jody, 23/05/2024 08:23, Travelled with Family
Sailing on the Queen Jelena through the islands of Croatia was a perfect vacation! The combo of relaxing in the morning as the ship sailed and exploring a new island each afternoon and evening was just what I wanted. The crew were all helpful and couldn't do enough to make us comfortable. The chef, in particular, is to be commended- the food was amazing. Special kudos to Mia who kept us informed about the places we were visiting and had great suggestions for restaurants and things to do.... even after we left the ship. She was our 'Momma Mia'! I highly recommend a Sail Croatia trip.
- Sharon, 22/05/2024 15:21, Travelled with Family
My sister and I spent a week sailing on Captain Jure’s Olimp in May 2024 and we had the time of our lives. To begin with, Croatia is stunningly beautiful and the azure waters never cease to amaze. Croatians were all so kind, friendly and fun loving everywhere we went, and this applied to every member of the Olimp’s crew as well. Everything shined throughout the ship, including our stateroom which was clean, comfortable and spacious enough and the bathroom boasted the biggest shower I have ever seen on a ship. I loved the fact our stateroom had multiple power outlets enabling us to charge our devices every day. Dining was always a five star event every day and the chef accommodated for my sister’s food sensitivity each and every meal. And the plated presentations? A work of art! Our Cruise Manager Vedran was largely responsible for the success of our week. Not only was he always well organized and helpful with every aspect of our cruise and excursions, his humour and warm hearted

Small group experience on beautiful ship. We had great food,, with allowances made for persons in group with food allergies and vegetarian restrictions.

Our small group of 12 very compatible friends, family and new acquaintances were joined by 10 other people who had signed up separately for Queen Jelena. This small size allowed everyone to easily socialize from meals, to impromptu card games, to dancing to relaxing in different deck areas. The boat is very efficiently designed with a nice amount of room in cabins. I also thought it was a beautiful boat. The crew is friendly. They served wonderful meals and kept the boat meticulously clean. Vicko, the Sail Croatia representative , provided lots of information on Croatia’s history and the history and points of interest for individual island stops. Frane and Teo provided wonderful food, Leo and Tom were delightful and efficient waiters. Gordon ,the captain, and sailors Mateo and Josie provided a good boat experience on the water and during swim stops. Thanks to all for a lovely experience.

A beautifully appointed small and elegant ship run by a delightful captain and crew. Tour Guide, Vedran, was always incredibly cheerful and smiling, and worked incredibly hard to keep us happy and things running smoothly, explaining everything beforehand. The accommodation is excellent, shower rooms even b The excursions were very good indeed I enjoyed our trip on Military History and our own guide here was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The wine trip was equally good. Our walking tour of Dubrovnik whetted our appetites and we are determined to return. I found the meals adequate. Some were very good indeed but others not so. The desserts excellent. I was sorry that the fresh fruit for breakfast was not very ripe . I think the bacon and sausages could have been placed on a rack so they were not swimming in fat,. The sliced cheese and cold meats were good, bread and croissants excellent. You have really good bread in Croatia!

The Crew, the boat, the tour guide Ioana! Their attention to detail was top notch! The bar staff kept the glasses flowing in evenings and the crew was always helpful and provided the best care possible. The chef was serving wonderful three course meals that kept you fueled up and ready to go! This was such a relaxing experience, I’d 100% recommend and would do it again in a heart beat and much preferred over a larger cruise line any day! Iona kept us busy with exciting excursions at a leisurely pace. I felt like family with the smaller guest list and make wonderful new friends along the way!

It was a very nice relaxing (daily swim stops) cruise and the crew was wonderful. Very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. Boris our Cruise Director also knew his guests well.. He arranged for several wine tastings and dinner gatherings on various islands instead of the tours and excursions that were scheduled since many of us were not signing up to participate in them. Spending evenings in the towns and tasting local food and wine was very enjoyable. One thing I would suggest a slight alteration on is cutting back on the portions of food for the daily lunch. There was way too much food being served, they could have cut the portions in half for each course and it still would have been enough for everyone. However it was all very delicious and I especially loved the desserts!! I would recommend Sail Croatia to family and friends for a nice cruise vacation to see the coastal islands of Croatia.

Any requests my group asked, big or small he made it so easy for us. He is the flavour of our trip. Lots of knowledge to share and made the impossible requests possible. Boris is the man to turn to this making our trip soooo wonderful. We had the best memories and great experiences to share.

Wonderful way of exploring the Croatian islands. The boat was clean and comfortable, the AC was a must during our vacation time as it was in a mist of a heat wave. The entire equipage from the captain to the chef was great, and especially our tour director Ivana. Ivana you made everything better, you lift any worries that appeared , and you made everyone’s day, Thank you. The only suggestion I have to improve this beautiful sailing experience is to have a better coffee, the coffee on any place we stopped on the islands was real good coffee but the one on the boat. Bravo to Sail Croatia, we had an amazing Vacation!

We had a wonderful time sailing and the swimming stops each day were magical. The islands were all beautiful and we were given lots of options as to how to spend our time at each island. Olimp was lovely and you could find a quiet spot or you could join in with others. We had amazing people travelling with us. The meals were all good but the acoustics were terrible and the dining room was extremely loud and you couldn't take your food out on the deck, the air con in the dining room was almost non existent. Drinks were expensive and being able to pay as you go would be a better option as would being able to use credit cards. I would still recommend Sail Croatia as all the staff on board were amazing and helpful. Communication with booking team was not so good.

Hi Peggy! Thank you for your 5-star review. Thank you for your comments and for joining us this season.
I travelled with my husband, daughter, brother and sister in July 2023. I cannot recommend Sail Croatia highly enough. The sailing route contained many beautiful and interesting sites. I learnt so much about Croatia, its history and culture from our knowledgeable, personable and humorous guide Stjepan Jelacic. His maps of the islands, we were visiting, were comedic and factual genius. He really made the trip so enjoyable. The Captain Mate, and his crew Igor and Gino, masterfully steered the ships into the ports and swimming spots and ensured we were first in line at the Blue Cave. Bobby, Barbara and Ana provided excellent bar and dining service. We were pleased to be able to celebrate Bobby’s birthday during the trip. Chef Ante and Marija cooked up a storm - the food was delicious and plentiful. Marija was very thoughtful and kept our rooms clean and tidy. The trip exceeded our expectations and has provided us with very happy life long memories. Thanks everyone. 🇦🇺🦘

We could not have asked for a better combination of beautiful water, historic port towns, good food, relaxation and fun. This cruise was the perfect size for us because we got to chat with almost everyone on board, but there was also plenty of quiet space for sunning on the top deck. I especially appreciated the swim stops and the short walking tours in a new place each day, as well as the recommendations for dinners or adventures from the guide. When my mother-in-law told my husband and I that she wanted to celebrate her very special birthday with a small cruise to the Adriatic, I started searching, as I'd never been myself. I must have done at least 20 hours worth of work reading up on all of the different options, and we decided on Sail Croatia. This trip was spectacular. The guide, crew, and all of the support staff that answered my questions prior to the trip were fantastic in their friendliness and willingness to accommodate or point us in the right direction. Hvala!!!

Our cruise director Boris took our group on with gusto. We were a group of 9 family members and truthfully, we can be a LOT. He answered all our questions and gave perfect suggestions for places to go. His lunchtime preview of where we were docking was absolutely the perfect way to start each port.

This cruise was the perfect mix of historical, relaxation, socialising, swimming and adventures. A highlight was landing in Korcula for half NY celebrations. Bobby is one of the best in the hospitality trade and catered to our every need. Stjepan was also great with extensive knowledge of Croatian history and ensuring everything was very organised and running like clockwork. Highly recommend Lisa

The ship was beautiful and clean. Crew was kind, professional and knowledgeable. They were very helpful and courteous. They were awesome. The food was delicious and the bar prices were very reasonable.
- Shelley, 20/06/2023 19:23, Travelled with Family
The Olimp is a very comfortable and stylish boat. It had everything that we wanted and the ‘swim stops’ were amazing. High quality food and good selection of drinks. All the crew members were very friendly and helpful. With a special mention to Duje, he is a first class waiter and made the best cocktails. Slaven provided great service and always happy to help.
- Wendy, 20/06/2023 12:12, Travelled with Family
Improve your product??? Surely you mean “offering”. The food offering was repetitive, unexciting, the puddings , (with one exception) were inedible, the use of fake cream from a can was particularly unpleasant. Some Croatian specialities would have been welcome on the menus. Also no other options were available apart from a vegetarian option. All in all, completely underwhelming. Sleep was difficult due to the cheap pillows. However the tour rep Stephan was excellent as was the restaurant/bar manager.
- Christine , 13/06/2023 07:58, Travelled with Family
Hi Christine, thank you for your 3 star review. We will ensure that your kind words on Stjepan and the Bar Manager are passed on. It is a shame to hear that we did not meet your expectations when it comes to the food. Guest feedback is very important to us and your remarks will be passed onto the relevant team so that improvements can be made. Thank you for providing us with this feedback and for joining us in Croatia this season.
We had a fantastic week! Our representative, Vedran, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. The cruise exceeded our expectations, the swim stops were refreshing and picturesque, and the captain and crew were made the experience even better. I highly recommend traveling on the Olimp with Sail Croatia.
- Rikki, 08/06/2023 09:43, Travelled with Family
The Olimp is a beauty, and it is equipped with everything you need to have a wonderful time. Whether you decide to explore at each stop, or prefer to have a relaxing time on board, you'll be glad you chose the Olimp. The captain and crew members were experienced and friendly - always ready to answer any question and help whenever needed. Our host Vedran was super charismatic and well prepared with a bit of history and recommendations for each of our stops. There was always someone who would be happy to share with us a story about each place we visited or sailed by, making our trip all the more memorable. Pro tip: If you do choose the Olimp (which shouldn't even be a question at this point) make sure to order an Olimp Mule and ask Duje about the local spirits.

The Olimp ship and crew were fantastic! Couldn't have asked for a more fantastic itinerary and visit to islands. Ship was gorgeous and wonderfully accommodating.

We were a group of family and friends and we had so much fun! The crew is friendly, professional and helpful. The ship is beautiful, comfortable and spacious. It was wonderful to visit the islands and coastal towns and being able to spend some time exploring the towns. We loved the swim stop every day!
- Nelia, 30/05/2023 11:07, Travelled with Family
This trip exceeded all expectations. Starting with the planning, the specialist we worked with was professional and answered all of our questions, making us feel comfortable with the process. Upon arrival on the ship and throughout our journey, the staff on the boat were all extremely hard-working, and very friendly. Starting with Steve, who is very knowledgeable about Croatia, and made all of the historical facts funny and interesting. His tours were great and he answered everyone’s questions. He also did a great job of coordinating all the events. Bobby and Anna worked so hard every day during breakfast and lunch to make sure everyone had everything they needed and dietary restrictions were addressed. Igor and Barbara we are also very friendly and helpful. From making sure our rooms were stocked to having good conversations. The trip was well coordinated so I was very relaxed especially since the captain managed to avoid the bad weather!

Hi Marie, your recommendation means the world to us! Thank you so much for your 5 star review of your Elegance cruise with us on Olimp. We hope to see you join us again :)
Our ship Queen Jelena was a beautiful ship, comfortable, spotlessly clean, large bedroom with big ensuite, lovely dining room, sun decks with jacuzzi, opportunity to swim in the sea at some bays the ship moored at. The seas crystal clear. we stayed from 30th April to 8th May. Our week started a bit chilly, rain on the Tuesday and windy , but hot after that until 8th may when we had to come home. The staff so friendly and helpful, especially Mia. the food excellent.

Hello Kay! Thank you for your 5 star review of your Elegance cruise on board Queen Jelena. We're so pleased to read how happy you were with all aspects of your cruise this season, this is wonderful. Thank you for a fantastic week on board.
What a great week we had on the Esperanza Cruise Ship. Our host Loana couldn’t do enough for us and the crew also. This was my first visit to Croatia and cruising around seven of the islands with so much history and culture was amazing. We had swim stops. Walking tours in Split and Korcula included. Plus an evening at a farm to table restaurant with wine and olive oil tasting… 💞 I would highly recommend this trip if you are thinking of a visit to Croatia….

- Elizabeth Ann, 04/10/2022 08:31, Travelled with Family
The boat Esperanza was beautifully maintained. The staff were there for our every need. The Captain knew the waters well and went to great trouble not to be in rougher waters at meal times. The accommodation was large and clean with en suite facilities. The liaison lady explained the interesting points and generally kept us all in touch. A medical emergency was dealt with speedily and professionally.. It was a privilige to visit such a beautiful and gentle country

We enjoyed great group of people and nice weather condition. Room service was great, our room was made during our breakfast, very efficient. Swim stops were private and well chosen. Good food, the chef was creative. The National Park tour in Mljet was great. We enjoyed cycling around the Lake. The view was fantastic.

My famiy and I loved our sail croatia elegance cruise aboard Olimp. The food was exceptional and our cabin exceeded our expectations. The entire crew took care of our every need while Vedran, our cruise director, did an amazing job keeping us informed.We loved the islands visited, the perfectly timed swim stops and the Olimp's swim platform! Thanks Sail Croatia for a most memorable vacation!!

I feel so lucky to have spent a week aboard the Olimp, The fabulous yacht that took me in style to new places along the Adriatic Sea. There was plenty of room in our cabin, and it was nicely appointed and comfy. How delightful to start each day with a cup of coffee on deck cruising, seeing new beautiful sights of Croatia. And then enjoy a wonderful breakfast buffet. Swim stop was terrific each day, my goodness that water is unbelievable clear and beautiful. The swim platform was a real plus; so easy to get in and out of the water. Our guide, Vadran, was fun and informative and very helpful, a real asset. Such a delightful week, I will definitely recommend this cruise. THANK YOU SAIL CROATIA!
- Anita, 08/09/2022 12:19, Travelled with Family
the boat was very clean and well equipped and comfortable, much more spacious cabin than i was expecting. the food was very tasty and well presented, hard to believe the quality and presentation of breakfast and lunch every day from a small kitchen! crew were lovely and very kind and helpful with a particular mention for Mia , our tour guide, for whom nothing was too much trouble and everything was taken care of so that we could relax - she really was fantastic. we loved getting to know - and getting close to - our fellow passengers but there was always space and time to take yourself off and read or just look out to sea and relax. swimming off the boat every day was magical!
- Sharon, 18/08/2022 17:09, Travelled with Family
Me & mom loved this one week trip in Croatia, seeing a different place every afternoon and swimming in beautiful turquoise waters near uninhabited islands every morning was great. With beautifully presented lunches and amazing crew, we couldn't have wished for a better week. Although our original trip with Sail Croatia was changed, Mia made the best out of it. Thank you!

Such a relaxing week. Plenty of free time, lots of swimming and lovely towns and cities to visit. Not inundated with tired options. Easy to explore the towns yourself. Stunning weather, water. Comfortable boat with lovely staff. Good crowd of fellow travellers Well organised

The boat, Olimp, was beautiful and very clean. Each and every member of staff were so friendly and attentive and went above and beyond. The food was outstanding and exceeded expectations. And finally Croatia is a fantastic country to visit - seeing the coast by boat is highly recommended.
- Faye, 31/05/2022 07:46, Travelled with Family
The experience we had on ship Olimp was absolutely out of this world. The ship was aesthetically stunning, clean and efficiently run. The food was delicious and beautifully plated up. The best part was the crew members' friendliness and great service. In general, the people of Croatia was welcoming and friendly. They are very experienced and well trained for such a young crew. I highly recommend this experience to all who can afford it.

We took an Elegance cruise on the the maiden voyage of the Alfa Mario from Dubrovnik to Split. We are seasoned travelers and have been around the world, but this by far was one of our greatest vacations we have ever taken. The boat was beautiful and very spacious. There is no better way to enjoy and experience the Dalmation coast with it's spectacular scenery, food, wine and especially the Croatian people. What made the trip even more special was the crew of the Alfa Mario that made sure all our needs were always taken care of and made every person on the boat feel special. The food on the boat was beyond our expectations and every lunch was an unique dining experience in taste and presentation. This was a bucket list trip for me and fulfilled my every wish.

Hi Teri, thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review of your Elegance cruise with us this season on board the beautiful Alfa Mario.

Thank you for joining us this summer Teri for an incredible time in Croatia!
We took our 2 adult daughters and son in law (ages 24,26,25) on the Elegance cruise with us. We were lucky enough to be on the maiden voyage of the Alfa Mario! The ship, crew, itinerary, everything was top notch! We all loved the daily swim stops, ports of call, and Ivana our cruise director, Every communication with Sail Croatia was easy and informative..,,especially in these times of COVID when we were not even sure if the cruise would go forward, I can not recommend Sail Croatia and the Elegance cruise highly enough! We were also lucky to be 5 of only 11 guests on board which made for a truly remarkable vacation!!!

This holiday was total luxury. The Olimp is new and very well equipped as a floating hotel. The daily swim stops were a great way to relax and enjoy the crystal clear water, and the afternoons on shore were spent exploring ancient villages and experiencing local food and wine. The staff were all friendly and attentive from the front of house staff, the cooks, housekeeping and those crew who washed the boat and kept it looking perfect. It was a very relaxing, wonderful holiday.

Everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. This was the trip of a lifetime and the ship and crew were top notch. Antonio our cruise director knew so much and was able to customize some of our evenings to better suite our ages. Gordon the captain, Nick & Pamela in the dinning room, our chefs Frane & Matea and our sailors Mateo & Andelko were all unbelievable. The swim stops, the food quality, the care and dedication they put into their job really shows, The ports were unbelievable, the water was perfect everywhere we went and the planning was all perfection. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sail Croatia and the Queen (Kraljica) Jelena to anyone. We were thrilled with it all !

We had a wonderful time on our trip- staff/crew/service and food were wonderful! Everyone was so gracious and accommodating.. Only down side was the request of a 10% tip for the crew- wish I had known when I booked- came a real surprise and we were scrambling for extra Kuna at the last minute- felt like our. passports were being held hostage at the end... Knowing this- you might just want to increase your prices.. Overall the trip was wonderful and we may do it again!

Thank you so much for your review and also for joining us this season on board Esperanza for an Elegance cruise. Tipping is not compulsory in Croatia, so it really is up to you if you'd like to leave a tip and if so for how much. I will pass your comments onto our Operations Manager in Split so he is made aware of this, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We do hope to see you on board again in the future!
I was impressed and delighted with everything about our Sail Croatia Elegance cruise. The Olimp was a lovely boat and an ideal size, the itinerary designed to give us a taste of most things and options of activities and tours. Meals were great and all the crew ( thank you to our captain Renato, sailors Dalibor & Goran, wonderful waiters Hrvoje & Renato, chef Stipe & his assistant Zdravka, super efficient cabin cleaner Renata and of course our Sail Croatia rep Vedran who informed and entertained us in equal measure). We really felt that we were leaving friends behind at the end of our cruise thanks to you all.

We're also very pleased to read that you enjoyed the itinerary and also liked the food served. Thank you so much for joining us and we do hope you will join us again soon.
friendly , helpful staff food excellent only one issue that was our Hvar visit we could only get on to island at 4.30pm by water taxi and the boat was not able to dock till 8.30pm which meant we were not able to freshen up before dinner and we left early morning so definitely not long enough time to explore
- Caroline, 29/08/2019 03:54, Travelled with Family
Thank you for your 5 star review of your cruise with us this season on board Esperanza. Unfortunately there are restrictions in the port of Hvar, so the ships are not able to dock earlier, however there are water taxis available to take you ashore before. I will pass your comments onto our Operations Manager. Thank you for joining us!
We had a great time in the cruise from Dubrovnik to Split. Staff was excellent and everything was just about perfect. There were only a few minor exceptions and I understand that change is not always pointless. 1. Access to coffee and tea should be 24 hours a day free of charge (it’s the little things that make the difference). Some people do not sleep well and that coffee or tea on the deck at 5 or 6 is a big deal. 2. The towels were extremely tough, although they dried you well. 3. More hooks to hang damp towels or clothes in the cabin and possible a designated hook for towels on the top side that are out of sight but allow your beach towels to dry 4. As mentioned, we understand schedules are hard to change but it’s much nicer to do the excursions in the morning and swim and relax in the afternoon Thanks for the wonderful experience Lisa and Wayne Elliott
- Lisa, 20/08/2019 09:57, Travelled with Family
Hi Lisa and Wayne. Thank you so much for your review of our Elegance cruise. We are really happy to hear you enjoyed your overall experience with us and found the staff to be of excellent value. It's great to know that the cruise was just about perfect for you, with some suggestions to improve and we thank you for this. We can provide quality coffee at an additional cost however, as we are unable to offer coffee and tea 24/7, pots of tea and coffee is available during salon hours. We appreciate your feedback on the towels, having more hooks and the excursion times, we will pass these comments on to the relevant team - thank you for your comments here!
Undoubtly, the better way to visit islands and seaside of Croatia. BRAC - The stop at Milna is pointless.... better should we dock in Bol, just like other boats.
- Anonymous, 09/08/2019 20:44, Travelled with Family
Thank you for your review. We completely agree - there is something unique about visiting the islands by sea. Upon request, our chef is more than happy to provide you with additional portions. We try to get a good balance of islands on our cruises and we find the mix of the more popular, tourist attraction spots amongst the moor quant and quieter islands is a great combination for our guests to enjoy. We thank you for your suggestion here and will pass this on to the relevant team! Thank you.
Our Croatian Islands Cruise aboard the “Romantic Star”. surpassed all our expectations. Verdan and all the team members made our trip relaxing and fun. We especially enjoyed the swim stops every day. Our cabin was very comfortable for our group of three, and we liked its location with outside access. Our experience traveling on one of Sail Croatia’s small ships was memorable. We will definitely return to your beautiful country!

The experience of an “elegance” cruise onboard the Romantic Star was a dream come true for myself, my husband, my sister and brother-in-law. We were welcomed onboard by Vedran who was our guide for the week and who solved problems and performed miracles every day. He was able to reunite an American passenger with her lost airline baggage while we were in Korcula. From the beginning to the end we knew we were in safe hands and felt we were in paradise. The service, food and rooms were all 1st class, the crew were amazing and the facilities surpassed all our expectations. The cleanliness onboard really impressed and each and everyone of the crew were friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend this trip and would have loved it to be longer than 7 days, so next time we would be delighted if it could last for 10 days.

This holiday trip on a stunning boat far exceeded our expectations. The onboard rep Vedran and all the crew were amazing, attentive, friendly and keen to assist with any request and the food served was fresh and delicious. The boat and cabins were faultlessly clean , with the crew visibly cleaning each day. I would definitely return but would rather have an option of 10 days as opposed to 7.

We won the lottery with our crew and guide. Vedran was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Tom the bartender was so professional and went above and beyond, working additional hours where required. And the captain took us to some of the most beautiful swim spots and spent lots of time with us as a group at the captain’s dinner. Without them, the cruise wouldn’t have been as enjoyable as it was.

My husband I were so happy with the beautiful boat the “Romantic Star”. It was definitely an elegance cruise with outstanding and comfortable cabins. The boat itself was new and elegant. Our guide, Vedran, was amazing. He was highly professional and would add humour (we laughed many times ) to his speeches. His knowledge of Croatia, the islands and towns was very informative. All of the crew were happy and smiling and very helpful. The food was very nice and the chef and his assistant worked very hard to please us. The captain was lovely as well and interacted with the customers when he found the time. They all made us feel very special. We had so many opportunities to enjoy beautiful swim stops, explore the islands and villages with encouragement and support from all the crew. Yes the boat was amazing but It was Vedran and all the crew who made our experience exceptional. My husband and I have now learnt so much about Croatia that we really appreciate the country and the people.

It is wonderful that your Representative and the crew made you laugh and added to such a great time on board, along with the captain speaking directly with passengers when he was able to and of course the chef and kitchen staff - thank you for your kind words here, I will be sure to pass this onto the whole team. Croatia really is a beautiful country with amazing scenery, so it is great that you enjoyed the country. Thank you both for joining us this season!
A fabulous experience like no other. Vedran Ovčar is definitely one of the best tour leaders I’ve ever met. He goes beyond the call of duty to ensure everyone is happy and everything is top class. He has a difficult job ensuring everyone is happy at all times. Angela Braovic and Nikola Zelic aboard the Kraljica Jelena are also fabulous as well as Nikolina, the lady who cleaned our rooms fabulouslyevery day. They all went beyond the call of duty in everything they did to make our trip spectacular.

Thank you!
The only thing that dampened our trip on the Esperanza was the weather. The vessel was comfortable and always kept clean. The staff was friendly, helpful, and very hard working. The food was excellent. Scheduled stops were interesting. Loved the winery tours and the farm to table meal. Krka Nat'l Park is a must see attraction. Tip: announcements to the group should be made using a microphone so they can be better heard in the back of the dining room.

We loved this trip, the boat was fabulous, clean tidy, the captain fantastic. Our 'Mia ' tour guide was a treat. We were able to be together without the worries of catering or entertainment, so much fun, and we had time for special times together. Thank you Sail Croatia you were great.
