Fun Times with Sail Croatia

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!

Trip of a lifetime!

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!

Magical

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.

- Claire, 29/09/2026 06:46, Travelled with Family

Wonderful

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!

Fantastic cruise

Absolutely loved this cruise. Relaxing pace, great staff and crew, The meals were great and they accommodated our no seafood request. The Olimp is a beautiful ship for this style of cruising and we had wonderful guests sharing our cruise with us.

Amazing!

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!

Sailing the beautiful Adriatic

We had the best time - food was great & the we had such a great group of people from all over the world on our ship!

- Joyce, 23/09/2026 09:49, Travelled with Family

Amazing experience

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.

A trip of a lifetime!

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.

We loved the Olimp and our entire cruise! Anita and the crew were extremely helpful and knowledgeable and made sure we had a fantastic time every day. They even accommodated our 7 vegan passengers. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a mix of relaxation and city excursions.

"Perfect from Begin to End"

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.

Beautiful croatia

We were lucky to have Vendran as our tour manager. He was very informative and great fun. Food was excellent and all staff were very helpful and friendly. Personally i prefer going South than North but all islands are stunning. Thank you Sail Croatia for a great trip, i strongly recommend this company

Perfection!

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

Ultimate Croatian Cruise!

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

Great destinations

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

Sail Croatia

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

Unexpected

I booked the trip because Croatia was on my bucket list and they were waiving the single supplement on a few sailings. We were a small group which made it a more intimate experience. My cabin was spacious and very comfortable. Our cruise director Lola was a dream. Very organized, kind and patient. The crew performed their jobs invisibly. The ports were all interesting but my favorite was the daily swim stops. Jump into the Adriatic sea and swim for an hour! The cruise was incredibly relaxing! The chef did a stellar job feeding us a healthy Mediterranean diet with decadent desserts.Can't recommend this trip enough!

- Heather, 25/08/2026 10:24, Travelled Solo

Best holiday I have ever had!

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.

A fabulous experience travelling through the islands off the coast of Croatia. Very relaxing, great group of people, food was great and our Cruise guide Lola was fabulous keeping us informed always. Visited some beautiful islands, great old towns and national parks. Really enjoyed.

Happy solo traveler

Had a wonderful time on the Romatic Star. It was my first time traveling alone. I felt safe at all times and the staff was always there if you needed any assistance. I will definitely be back to see the rest of Croatia.

- Rebecca, 07/08/2026 18:32, Travelled Solo

Beautiful Croatia!

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

Sail Croatia with Dino

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 .

Dino

It beat expectations and Dino was a great host. He helped make excursions easier for a family member whose health started to decline, which was much appreciated. The cruise was awesome and he made it unforgettable. Thanks Dino! We miss you. The crew were friendly and I felt at home on the boat.

mother daughter trip

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.

Absolutely loved this holiday. The ship was immaculate, crew were amazing, with special note to Vedran our cruse guide. He was so lovely and very funny, nothing was too much trouble.

What an amazing vacation

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.

Unforgettable Luxury Experience

After discovering Sail Croatia a few months ago—and reading countless glowing reviews on TripAdvisor—I decided it was time to add island-hopping on a superyacht to my bucket list! I’m so glad I did, because this cruise turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. After decades of “research,” I’ve finally found my favourite type of holiday—and my preferred way to travel! The MV Katarina, along with everyone on board (guests and crew alike), was completely my vibe. 🫶🏻 I’d always dreamed of a holiday like this, and it exceeded every expectation. The crew were outstanding. A huge thank you to Captain Ivan, to Zeljko & Karlo the talented chefs, Ivana and Karlo in the bar and restaurant, Petra in housekeeping, the engineers & deck crew. A very special mention must go to our cruise director Anita. Her warmth, enthusiasm, hard work & attention to detail made the experience truly special & unforgettable. Thank you to everyone at Sail Croatia.

Sail Croatia: Elegance

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!

Fantastic Cruise!!

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.

Croatian Paradise

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.

Memorable trip!

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.

Book now

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

Don't wait book this ASAP

My holiday was legendary. As a solo traveler, I expected to be the mysterious lone wolf on the boat… but the crew and passengers immediately adopted me like a long‑lost cousin. Suddenly I had a whole squad, plus the freedom to wander off whenever my main‑character energy demanded a solo montage.My guide, Dino, was an absolute icon. If you get paired with him, congrats—you basically won the Croatian lottery. Every stop came with great suggestions, optional group dinners, and zero pressure. I even left with friends I’m now morally obligated to visit.And the food and wine? Outrageously good. Every meal tasted like someone’s grandmother blessed it, and the local wines were so delicious I briefly considered becoming a Croatian vineyard apprentice.Croatia is almost offensively beautiful, and having a local guide makes everything smoother and way more fun. The crew, the food, the wine, the swim stops—chef’s kiss. Paddle boards, snorkel gear, curated stops… all amazing.If you’re debating this

- Danielle, 02/06/2026 11:36, Travelled Solo

Fabulous relaxing way to see Crotia

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

some suggestions to be even better

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

- Anonymous, 26/05/2026 23:29, Travelled with Family

Highly recommend

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.

Ten Star Cruise

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.

Exceeded our expectations

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!!

What a fantastic experience!

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!

Fabulous Time on the Olimp

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.

- Mary, 13/10/2025 14:05, Travelled with Family

Family Fun!

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!

From start to finish this was a once in a lifetime holiday. The boat Queen Jelena was so beautiful. The crew were polite and helpful and friendly. The food was delicious, the daily routine suited me perfectly . 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. He is a great ambassador for Sail Croatia and the country of Croatia. I cannot recommend this cruise enough.it really was perfect.

Awesome Small Ship Cruising Experience

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.

Our unplanned extra time in dubrovnik was handled well. The trip to Montenegro was way to long with the border crossings. The cruise leader was so knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and varied. Our whole family aged 21 to 78. Loved every minute. I have told many people about it and have given them information.

Queen jelena

The people, our host was exceptional. Staff very friendly. Ship was very comfortable and clean.. the swim stops a definite high light.. so much history to take in. The food was very good although I did hear some say they were looking for more of a variety.

- Catherine, 09/09/2025 10:23, Travelled with Family

Fantastic!

A brilliant week aboard the Katerina. The crew were outstanding as was our guide Vedran. We visited many beautiful places and were given plenty of information on V’s daily talks. The food was excellent. Can’t recommend this cruise enough.

Relaxing, fun, ans fantastic!

This cruise was simply unforgettable! The Olimp is a beautiful boat, and the crew were all fantastic. I loved the daily swim stops and the more relaxed schedule. Our tour guide, Ivana, was very friendly and informative about all the ports we were visiting. The food onboard was very delicious. I would highly recommend a cruise with Sail Crotia!

A fantastic itinerary

The boat (Queen Jelena), the intinerary from Dubrovnik to Split, the regular swim stops and the food, was all outstanding. However, I also did not feel like I needed a full 3-course sit-down meal in the middle of the day EVERY day. Our tour leader was informative, helpful and lovely. Perhaps the only disappointment was that the boat was half full (in July??) with 12 other passengers : 3 couples and the rest retired single and/or divorced women in their 70s. (I still work and was holidaying solo for a break and some fun). By the 4th night I was feeling trapped in the slow lane and trying to avoid the "horrible ex-husband" stories.. That said, I do recommend Sail Croatia, and I understand you cannot control who books a tour at the same time as you. However I found the Elegance cruise to be better suited to travellers seeking a slower pace.

Outstanding experience

Our experience with Sail Croatia was simply spectacular. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, the boat was spotless, and the route was breathtaking. The food onboard was delicious every single day, with fresh and varied options that exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Lucija, our guide, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and detail-oriented at all times. She made sure we felt comfortable, well-informed, and enjoyed every stop and activity to the fullest. Her warmth and professionalism truly made a difference. Overall, a first-class experience: excellent service, stunning scenery, delicious food, and a crew that genuinely cares about their guests. I would absolutely recommend it 100%!

Katarina Cruise was Excellent

Ivan Captain Ivan cruise tour guide & team made this luxury holiday cruise so special. Safe, fun, relaxing but lots of excursions & surprisingly so much packed in for all of us to experience was fantastic. Wished it didn’t end . Gorgeous cruise Split to Dubrovnik 💁🏼‍♀️

- Sandy, 09/08/2025 08:24, Travelled with Family

One of the best vacations we've had

We sailed a 7 day cruise with Sail Croatia. The boat is called Katarina & it is part of the Elegance line. Captain Ivan, his staff and the cruise director were so welcoming and attentive. We had amazing swim stops every day, visited beautiful islands and had plenty of time to enjoy them. The boat is beautiful, new, well maintained, clean and very comfortable. I was sad to see the trip end and I would go again, if possible.

- Toni, 22/07/2025 23:19, Travelled with Family

Incredible week!

Everything came together to create the perfect holiday - the stunning landscapes, the refreshing swim stops, the delicious food, and the beautiful cruise. What truly elevated the experience was the wonderful crew, especially the amazing team at the salon, and our exceptional guide, Dino. Their warmth and professionalism made every moment even more special.

Excellent Croatian Island Sail

Our tour manager, Ioanna, was the shining star of the cruise. 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.

El mejor Crucero familiar y personalizado! Relax, risas y entretención

Crucero de pocos pasajeros, atención personalizada. Excelente itinerario. Lugares qye visita son imperdibles. Tripulación muy atenta y servicial. Especial mención para Dino y Martina que estuvieron dedicados a atendernos, ayudarnos y proporcionando alegría y entretención . Capitan muy experto y fue muy grato participar con él en la noche del Capitan. Sugerencia: tener más elementos inflables para nadar en el mar. Y el día de inicio del crucero realizar alguna actividad para que pasajeros se conozcan.

Fantastic way to travel solo in Croatia!

I had a fantastic time on the Elegance cruise through Sail Croatia! The highlights were the swim stops in the gorgeous Adriatic Sea, the local dinner and wine tasting in Stari Grad, and the mix of both small towns and bigger towns on the route. Vicko, our host, was the perfect mix of friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! Croatia is a beautiful country, and as a solo traveler Sail Croatia was a great way to experience it!

Lifetime Memories / Excellent Experience

Anita was a perfect Cruise Director, and our experience with Sail Croatia, and the Queen Jelena was outstanding. 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!

Katarina - Split South Return

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

A beautiful week

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

Fabulous experience

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!

Superb holiday

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.

- Jessica, 14/05/2025 16:07, Travelled with Family

Exceeded Expectations!

My ship was beautiful and the captain was clearly proud to have built it with his family. The accommodations were clean and spacious. Food was phenomenal. The guide was knowledgeable and honest - not just pushing sales or pressuring guests to use certain businesses. Croatia itself was welcoming and gorgeous. An island bike ride was a high point as was a local farm to table dinner.

Esperanza Mermaid

From the moment I met Karolina and a few other passengers quayside at Split I felt welcome and comfortable. (I am 73 and travel solo). Over lunch we were given a full orientation about the ship and the week ahead: scheduled swim stops, shore excursions, meal times etc. My fellow passengers were a great mix of personalities, from reserved to more lively and we all got on so well (lucky/blessed). The Captain and crew, from front of house and in the background were efficient and fun. Special mention goes to our Cruise Director Karolina whose care and attention to detail were exceptional! We had the opportunity to swim every day which I did despite the water temperature, hence my given cruise name!! I can’t recommend this company/trip highly enough! Croatia is the most beautiful country; the people who live there are lovely (nearly everyone understands English), its history, food and wine absolutely great.

We travelled up the Croatian Coast in Oct. 2024. The trip was simply terrific.

Memorable holiday

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.

Sail Croatia 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.

Best Vacation in a Long Time!

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.

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

Most enjoyable cruise

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.

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2024-09-19:

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.

Beautiful ‘Olimp’

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

Amazing

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

Great Experience

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

Esperenza Elegance at its best

Everything about this trip was better than I could have hoped for. The boat, the cabins and amenities were excellent. But what made it extra special were the dedicated team onboard who went out of their way to make our holiday a memorable occasion. The cooking was superb, the team serving us were amazing, the captain and crew the best. The swim stops each day were a big highlight and a magical experience. The islands each had their own charm. I felt so well looked after on this holiday. Another bonus was the great mix of similar age groups on the boat. I would definitely recommend this boat and team. A special callout to our Tour Manager, Ioana, who made it all happen, incredible co-ordination and management skills plus a charming personality to match. Great job Ioana and team. Thank you, Sail Croatia, until next time!

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.

Holiday of a lifetime

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.

- Joan, 23/07/2024 18:23, Travelled with Family

Magical Trip with Fantastic Crew

My solo cabin was clean and comfortable, with an outside door to let in the breeze and hang clothes outside. Air conditioning was strong. Food at breakfast and lunch were fantastic and Vedran’s recommendations for dinner and drinks were spot on. The smaller ship allowed us to have magical swim stops every day and explore small islands. Each day varied depending on the island, with some days more chill and others full of sightseeing or hikes. I was traveling solo but we had an incredibly warm and inclusive group of travelers from different generations. The smaller setting and a week together made it easy to connect.

- Evelyn, 23/07/2024 10:09, Travelled Solo

An amazing week

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

Great but not perfect

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.

A 'bucket list' adventure!

Travelling solo for the first time in years was always going to be an adventure but I knew the intimate feel of this holiday would work for me. Lovely fresh food, Vedran our attentive coordinator and the whole crew and guests made me feel very included on this Split North tour capturing so many UNESCO gems. The weather was kind, the sleeping quarters very well sound proofed and the shower fab! My nut allergy was carefully catered for and Stella and Boris' cocktails divine! I didn't turn the TV on once and the walking tours helped me burn off those varied meals prepared by the two chefs. All staff were approachable and took feedback seriously. Krka Falls was so lovely in the last week of May and teeming with wildlife. The swim stops ticked off dolphins, flying fish, 2 species of starfish and sea urchins plus was amazing to see a decent sized octopus and cuttlefish outside of an aquarium. Comparing Olimp to similar vessels we were clearly very blessed! Thank you Sail Croatia!

- Tams, 04/06/2024 18:35, Travelled Solo

Best trip

This was the trip of a lifetime for me. Our boat was a beautiful 100 metre wooden ship and the crew kept it in tip top form. They were very welcoming and happy, and made me feel so comfortable for the whole trip. The food was absolutely the best ever and so beautifully presented. The captain was incredible and so precise with his dockings and the running of his ship. Our host was really fun and, before we went out on an excursion, would fill us in on the history of where we were going and tell what we could do there and where to eat. The lady who looked after our berths was very good and I'd come back to a wonderful and clean room each day. We were very well looked after! The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms with the shower were very roomy! I will sail with Sail Croatia again.

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.

A perfect vacation!

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.

Best cruise EVER!

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

Amazing week

Small group experience on beautiful ship. We had great food,, with allowances made for persons in group with food allergies and vegetarian restrictions. The crew was friendly and we had a great cruise director Mia who kept us organized and had spot on information about our itinerary, options in port. Don’t think we could have had a better week!

My awesome experience!

Customer service at Sail Croatia is excellent. Before sailing all of my questions were answered promptly and this gave me a sense of security, since I was traveling on my own. This continued on the ship. Every request was dealt with promptly and satisfactorily. Directions to the ship and checkin were seamless. Food and service on board were impeccable. The ship itself was beautifully maintained and super clean. The staff, from the sailors, housekeeping, bar staff, kitchen staff and our host and captain were true professionals, dealinwith every request happily and with great information. I got to meet great fellow travelers from around the world--excellent group. The swim stops were wonderful. All of the wine excursions were informative and enjoyable. The Captain's dinner and live music were so much fun. All of our stops were memorable. Our host met with us each day for info and history on each stop, very helpful. Using What's App kept us informed of every detail. Highly recommended!

Just the right size group

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.

Wine tasting in the best possible way

I went on a Wine of Croatia cruise for a week stopping on the islands to sample wines and to see the sights on the Queen Jelena. The ship was beautiful, my below cabin exceeded my expectations, the crew were attentive and the food on board 5 star. The wine tastings were great, each one different to the other in settings. Farmhouses, tasting rooms, wine bars and even a military tunnel. They were accompanied by snacks and sometimes local musicians. I would highly recommend this cruise and would do it again in a heartbeat, once I have lost the extra pounds of having too much good food and wine! The islands of Croatia must be on everyone’s bucket list.

Belcher

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!

- Lenore, 02/05/2024 09:08, Travelled with Family

Absolutely fabulous!

Great crew, tour manager (Vedran), food was lovely, and a great group which made the trip really special. So relaxing, I'll most definitely be booking a cruise in the future. The Queen Jelena is beautiful and so full of character, lower deck room very comfortable, private and quiet. Breakfast could probably be improved - a little "samey" but lunches were delicious, as was the Captain's Dinner, and the village dinner was great fun. I missed Split because of joining the cruise late, but would suggest having more time there (overnight) and having less time in Milna as there was very little there. Also suggest having village dinner somewhere other than Korcula as there are so many dinner options there and perhaps having that dinner in one of the quieter places might work better. And would be good to spread these events over the week rather than 2 nights in a row. Excursions I went on were great - wine tasting in Vela Luka and walking tours in Korcula and Dubrovnik.

Relaxation and Good Times

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!

We sailed from the 7th Oct to 14th. The weather was amazing. I was with my 18 year old daughter on Queen Jelena a which had a great mix of ages, as I was concerned it my be a little older group on elegance. The crew and captain were all very helpful and friendly, Stjepan was outstanding guide his knowledge communication skills were tip top and he had a great sense of humour. Thank you

Esperanza Cruise, September 2023

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.

Solo in Croatia

overall great cruise format. goods: excellent food - almost too much food. most meals I couldn't finish the main course. very attentive to my food allergies. crew excellent. great service team. accommodations - excellent. room was nice size with plenty of storage. shower/toilet combo was good size and always cleaned. all the stops were fantastic - whether swim stop or port stop. Our guide manager Boris was FANTASTIC. Adapted to our group vibe and adjusted tours and stop recommendations accordingly. I went from D to S --- fantastic option to maximize travel to islands. others: The only land based tour I was a little disappointed with was in Vis. The Vis military tour. We didn't do the subpens, as described. The rest of the tour was fine, but there was too much time spent herding folks to get the full tour. NOT a Sail Croatia tour, but maybe they can pick another provider.

Excellent trip. The places we've been to never cease to amaze us. The staff are all very polite and friendly. Philip always has a sweet smile and Anna is the same. But Boris stood the most. 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.

This was such a fantastic sail thanks to a truly kind and thoughtful crew. The boat was beautiful and clean. The variety of of longe areas was wonderful. The food was delicious and nicely presented.

He was a great help and had an easy humour that we all appreciated. Thanks to all at Sail Croatia.

Nice cruise

Nice boat ! Shared a cabin with a stranger and it worked out great Food on boat was hit or miss. Coffee should’ve been served with dessert Chef accommodated my gluten free status very nicely. Beautiful swim stops every day. Turquoise water !! It would have been nice if boat had paddle boards or. Kayaks but it was fun anyway My only real criticism was of 2 of the stops Mjlet only had a park to go to and nothing else Milna was a very quiet island with a very small town and just restaurants Hvar was amazing and we didn’t arrive until 4:30 pm which stunk Local village dinner very good Staff was accommodating Tour guide very friendly and informative Oh and the pillows stink too! Needed two of them!!! Overall a good deal for the price

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!

I appreciated the staff and culinary efforts for my Elegance Cruise. My accommodations were as expected. I would have appreciated more information or recommendations for off-boat experiences throughout the cruise. It would have also been appreciated if the bar stayed open past 11pm on the Captain's Dinner evening (when we were told it would be).

Amazing trip

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.

Great experience

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. 🇦🇺🦘

Exceeded ALL of our expectations!

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!!!

Just a wonderful way to spend a holiday relaxing - eating lovely food - swimming in the sea every day from the boat which actually has a staircase to descend from making it so easy to go to swim .

Disappointing food offering

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.

An excellent choice

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.

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.

Fabulous experience of a country with beautiful scenery

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

Croatia Cruise with family

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.

The best of Croatia

The Kraljica Jelena is a wonderful ship. The Croatian islands are so beautiful and full of history. The two combined with the experiences provided by Sail Croatia made for an amazing holiday.

Olimp Elegance Cruise

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!!

What a treat!

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!

a truly memorable week

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!

Amazing experience

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!
