We had an amazing experience. The crew and Josko were great. The rooms were great spacious and clean. The boat was very clean and staff was attentive. Couple suggestions would be if there was a. Way to keep the breakfast hot as it was cold by the time we ate. Be nice to have. Coffee through out the day and it be available earlier. The plants on the tables were nice but to big. When paying our bar bill it was difficult as we never saw or get emailed a receipt to show the breakdown. That might be something we should get before leaving a printed one. The bar attendants were so fun. The lunches were amazing. Only meal was the veal that was not good. Swim stops were beautiful. And staff was great setting everything up for us.to enjoy the swim spots. Josko was great helping us find the best places to eat and answered other questions we had. If it was a full boat I don’t think the hot tub would have worked for 36 passengers. We were lucky to only have 16 on board. Thank you to all

We enjoyed the ship staff and meals; the ship could have been cooler in cabin but staff tried to make it as comfortable as possible. The floor of the ship needed some work but overall a great time!

What an amazing week we had on the Salve Di Mare. The perfect mix of relaxing on a morning at swim stops to exploring all afternoon. Every single meal on board was so tasty. Barbara, our tour manager went above and beyond to make our trip so special. From daily updates of the itinerary to planning meals for the full group. A trip to remember!!

We had an absolutely amazing week sailing aboard Almissa! The country is stunning, with breathtaking coastline, crystal-clear water, and beautiful towns to explore. A special thank you to the incredible crew of Almissa for being so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The food on board was exceptional—far beyond our expectations and honestly one of the highlights of the trip. A big shout-out as well to our tour manager, Josip, who was fantastic. He was fun, approachable, incredibly well organized, and always went the extra mile to make sure everyone had a great time and knew about all the available activities and options. This was a truly memorable experience, and I would absolutely sail Croatia again—perhaps on a different route next time. Highly recommended!

This trip exceeded my expectations . The staff were great , friendly . Food was very good , I was expecting it to be basic. I’ve been on several cruises with celebrity so I do like decent food.Cabins were very clean and comfortable . Great shower. Loved waking up every morning to the scenery , saw dolphins several times , beautiful scenery and loved the various island stop offs . We were well informed on excursions available and places to visit when not on board .

Our week on Almissa exceeded all expectations. The boat was so clean and the crew was great. The rooms had plenty of storage and the bathroom size was much larger than we expected! The meals were so tasty and as a picky eater, I truly enjoyed each one. The swim stops were definitely a highlight each day and it was a great mix of exploring local towns and relaxing in the sun. Highly recommend Almissa!

We travelled on the Almissa with a total group of 22 people to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. This was one of THE BEST TRIPS I have ever taken! We could not have been happier with the service, cleanliness of the ship, fun excursions, excellent food and drinks and exceptional crew! Captain Josip was the best! He sailed the Almissa perfectly, changing the order of our itinerary to best suit weather and wind conditions, giving us a perfect week of sun and beautiful weather. Our sailors Ivan and Capo took beautiful care of the ship, working tirelessly behind the scenes. Chefs Marko and Bogden prepared delicious meals with very large potions and beautiful presentation. Bartenders Kafka and Cezar prepared wonderful drinks while interacting with all of us in a fun atmosphere. We loved Hana our cruise director, she was THE BEST! She lovingly took care of all of our needs, provided us with history, information on restaurants and places to see, and even made a reservation for 22 of us!

We enjoyed our vacation aboard the spacious Esperanza. The crew was welcoming and funny and our Tour coordinator Klara kept us laughing and informed. We loved meeting people from across the world and sharing our travel stories each day. The Croatian islands were so beautiful to see and the old towns each had a unique vibe to them. Leaving the planning to Sail Croatia made it truly relaxing.

The staff was attentive, fun, and friendly. Our accomodations were comfortable, clean and well stocked. The schedule was just the right amount of relaxation and touring.

We (boyfriend and I) traveled on Salve Di Mare mid July from Dubrovnik to Split. We regularly take trips/vacations and this has by far been one of our favorite. Barbara was wonderful as was the rest of the crew, especially our bartenders. Mornings were very relaxed on the boat and lunch was incredible every day. Arrived at each destination around 1-2 PM which left plenty of time to explore in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a slower paced way to visit the coast of Croatia.
- Ashley, 29/07/2026 14:46, Travelled in a Couple

An Awesome experience!! The Captain took us to amazing swim spots and kept us in schedule for all our stops. The crew was a pleasure to interact with every day! Hanna made sure the guests were always happy , well informed, and made our reservations for dinner and excursions. The bar tenders were entertaining and kept delicious drinks in our hands! I would highly recommend Sail Croatia , especially the Almissa!!

From the moment we arrived at the dock we were welcomed and our Vacation truly started. All bags were transported to our room. This was where we first met Hana, who took such good care of us throughout the trip. Hana introduced us to the Captain and Crew, and gave us all the information we needed to get the most our of our stay with Sail Croatia. From Hana's expert guidance throughout , to the Crew getting us situated for daily swim time and in and out of ports with ease and to the amazing drinks and meals prepared for us on the boat, we could not have been more pleased. Thank you all for all you do!

My family lived every minute aboard Salve di Mare. Barbara and the entire crew went out of their way to ensure our vacation was the best ever. The food, the cleanliness, the friendly atmosphere made for a dream come true.
- Tammy, 27/07/2026 08:16, Travelled with Family
We had a great week aboard Princeza Diana. The crew were attentive and our host Ana very knowledgeable. Some great excursion options. A small group of 15 which actually made the week as we all got to know each other so well and all clicked. Highly recommend. I would say though when asked if you have dietary restrictions, if you don’t like fish or tomatoes worth saying as they are very much apart of the meals. Overall meals were good.

If you are considering a Sail Croatia trip, take the plunge and go! We absolutely loved our experience from start to finish. (We departed Dubrovnik on July 4 and ended in Split - Explorer.) The itinerary was the perfect combination of beautiful destinations, swimming, adventure, culture, food, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the incredible Adriatic coastline. What really made the trip special, though, was the experience of traveling with a small group and the dedicated crew. Of our 31 travelers, 11 were international (Scottish, British, Spanish, Australian, South African), with the rest from the US - and all were awesome humans! With Josip as our guide, and the Salve Di Mare crew caring for us all week, we enjoyed every minute with all our new friends. And the ship is perfection! The trip was well organized, while still feeling relaxed and adventurous. We came home with memories we'll never forget and friends we hope to see again. Five stars without hesitation!

We had a wonderful time on the Contessa, Niko and the staff were wonderful. Decor was top level. The boat wasn’t full but we had a great group that had a great time together. We did ask to change rooms as it was very noisy when the boat was running.

Amazing! Such a great trip. We seemed to have ended up with a much younger age group, but it couldn’t have been better. Our guide, Barbara, was so good. She brought us all together. Most of us are still in touch via WhatsApp and instagram! Don’t overthink if you are considering this trip, just do it!!!

We absolutely loved our time with Sail Croatia. This is the best way to see and experience the Dalmatian islands. The food was incredible, the room and boat very clean and nice, and the host was gracious and super informative and helped us take advantage of the right excursions and our time on each island. The swim stops are the best! You won't regret choosing Sail Croatia!
- Lauren, 21/07/2026 12:45, Travelled in a Couple
I can't say enough about Sail Croatia and this amazing seven day trip from Split to Dubrovnik. It was so well organized, and all of the stops were beautiful and perfectly curated. It was the perfect blend of fun and adventure, with a great group of people. Highlights were the swim stop every day and of course, all of the beautiful Dalmatian islands with the Port towns and activities. The ship (Salve di Mare) and the accommodations were also fabulous. The rooms were spacious and each had their own bathroom. The meals were wonderful. The crew was so friendly and helpful and Our tour guide , with Sail Croatia (Vin) took great care of us. I couldn't think of a better way to see the Dalmatian coast than doing it this way!!!
- Andrea, 21/07/2026 10:40, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I had a blast on the trip. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure! We were easily able to pick when we wanted to sightsee, participate in more adventurous activities, or have a chill beach day. The boat exceeded our expectations; our room was very comfortable and the food was delicious. The waters and scenery of Croatia were stunning; the swim stops were some of the best parts of our trip. I was worried about getting on a boat with a shellfish allergy, but the kitchen staff was easily able to accommodate my allergy, as well as others on our trip (gluten free, pescatarian, etc). Additionally, our guide Vic was awesome; he was a wealth of knowledge about everything from the history and culture Croatia to where the best place to watch the World Cup would be. He presented many fun options of what to do on every island. It really felt like we had a private guide (who knew everyone) at every stop. If we could book to go again, tomorrow we would!

Our week on the Almissa was amazing. Great food, staff, rooms, common spaces and other guests. The itinerary was excellent including a variety of activities and swim spots. A truly unique and special way to experience Croatia and we have no hesitation recommending the Almissa. The Sail Croatia communication was good in the lead up to the tour. A few things to note as feedback. Make the end of tour survey anonymous to get honest and useful feedback, carrying cash is a pain now for tourists - the fact everything on the boat and the extra tours and tips are to be paid in cash is inconvenient. Towels on the ship could be replaced - they are getting a bit old. Provide tea and coffee after lunch for free. This would be a small inexpensive thing to include - many international guests like their coffee and tea in the afternoon. 3 Euros for a cup of tea is way over the top. Finally the tipping recommendation appears out of step with what the cruise cost is. Small suggestions.

My husband and I and two good friends (another couple) spent a week on the Salve di Mare and it was magical. The beauty of the Dalmatian coast, the swimming off the boat, excellent food, and the excursions were perfect and unforgettable. The staff on the boat were also professional and so kind. They made everything go so smoothly and put everyone at ease. Sail Croatia was also fantastic—great communication and information armed us with clear expectations that somehow the Salve di Mare crew and beautiful Croatia vastly exceeded. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this trip on the Almissa. Perfect mix of cruising, swim stops and visits to beautiful islands. Staff were great, food was delicious and we had a great group of people onboard with us. Fun side trip options if you want them. Plenty of sunloungers upstairs for everyone. Only give it 4 stars as cabins are fairly basic but you don’t spend much time in there anyway - they were perfectly fine with plenty of room to store things. So good being able to unpack for a week and enjoy the cruise.

Excellent holiday with good room and great food. Staff were helpful and pleasant The only criticism is that the last day sailing was in Split and felt as though the holiday had ended 1 day early. I would have preferred to visit another island.

Our Sail Croatia cruise was one of the best trips of my life! My husband, our adult kids, and I all agreed it was an unforgettable experience. The ship was beautiful, our cabin was spacious, and it was meticulously cleaned every day. The food was outstanding, and the entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and always eager to help. A special thank you to our tour manager, Dino. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations at every stop, helping us make the most of each destination. Although our itinerary changed slightly due to weather and docking conditions, it worked out perfectly. We visited Jelsa, which ended up being our favorite stop of the trip! The swim stops were absolutely spectacular, with crystal clear water and breathtaking scenery. If you're considering Sail Croatia, don't hesitate. It was an incredible experience, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

We traveled with two families with older teens, nine total. We had the most incredible vacation.

The Salve di Mare was a beautiful boat and the rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean. Could not have asked for a better holiday!

From the start the crew were extremely welcoming and helpful. The boat was immaculate and stylish, the cabin was spacious and comfortable. We were not disturbed by noise from the boat or other people. Nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary worked really well, there was enough down time to relax, sunbathe and swim. The excursions added a fun dynamic to the trip and were mostly fun and exciting. We did cycling, kayaking, wine tasting, zip lining (the best!!) plus plenty of time to explore the beautiful Croatian towns which I hadn’t expected to be so charming. There was plenty of choice of restaurants and bars and our crew gave us recommendations on where to eat , even making reservations for us. The food on board was delicious, make sure you advise about dietary restrictions at the time if booking so that they can plan ahead for you. We were extremely lucky that the people on board were fantastic. We all bonded really well which made the experience very special…… a cruise family!!
