Amazing Experience

An absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. From gourmet meals, to perfectly timed swim stops, spotless amenities, friendly staff. I would do it all over again.

Way too loud.

Everything was almost perfect, except the noise in the eating room was painful and the noise in the restaurant that we went to as a group was also excruciatingly loud and the food wasn’t very good. I would not recommend the Olimp boat to anybody else until those problems are fixed.

Wonderful sailing adventure

The cruise between Dubrovnik and Split was absolutely marvellous, wonderful company and excellent staff and the food being a real highlight and our tour leader Vicko was a great guy and extremely knowledgeable.

Dubrovnick to Split

Our tour guide Lola was incredible !!! she was easy to talk to and extremely helpful She helped us arrange water taxis and answered all of our questions. Lola was great !! We were extremely disappointed with the ship's itinerary. Had we knew that the daily swim stop was actually more than 1/2 a day of swimming and that most shore excursions were to start after lunch, Starting shore excursions at 3;00 or 4;00 is just too late . we would not have taken this cruise. We did not come to Europe to swim, we came to see and explore towns and sights. For instance we visited Milena which was a waste of a day, Nothing really to see. I wish we could have spent the time in Split which is a wonderful and interesting city.

Great trip and experience with room for improvement

Great crew. Lola was incredible. Itinerary was a bit too light with the morning swim seeming like wasted time. Should charge a bit more and include more without additional charges (coffee, tea and soft drinks; more towels changed more often; greater food variety).

Amazing Luxury Cruise & Crew, but Late-Season Itinerary Needed Better Planning

Our group of 20 sailed on Sail Croatia’s Elegance Cruise aboard Katarina in late September/early October & had a wonderful experience overall. Katarina is a beautiful luxury vessel. The food & drinks were excellent, while the captain, crew & Sail Croatia guide were incredibly welcoming & accommodating. The onboard experience exceeded expectations. Our disappointment was specifically with the late-season stop in Vela Luka. We spent an entire afternoon & evening there, but much of the town had already closed for the season. Restaurants & businesses were shut, taxis & boats were unavailable & we couldn’t arrange transportation to nearby beaches. With our travel dates known well in advance, these seasonal limitations should have been considered. Our group of 20 would have gladly welcomed a different stop or extra time in Dubrovnik. Excellent vessel, food, crew & service—just disappointing itinerary planning for the time of year.

Thank you for your wonderful comments about Katarina and our onboard team! We're delighted to hear that the vessel, food and drinks exceeded expectations, and that our Captain, crew and Sail Croatia Representative made your experience so enjoyable. We're sorry that you found Vela Luka quieter than anticipated. Vela Luka is a scheduled destination on our Elegance itinerary, and while the seasonal operation of local businesses and transport providers is outside of our control, there were a number of options available during the stop, including a wine tasting excursion, Vela Spila and arrangements for guests interested in visiting nearby Proizd. The Captain's Dinner was also held onboard that evening. We appreciate your feedback regarding the late-season experience and have shared this with our Operations Team. We're very pleased that you and your group otherwise had such a wonderful experience aboard Katarina, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

A first-time cruiser’s dream week

An absolutely terrific experience. The entire crew was friendly and performed wonderfully. The accommodations were near-new and and all systems worked as they should. The itinerary selected allowed the passengers to see the sights without being rushed. As a person prone to seasickness I was a a bit apprehensive when booking this, my first, cruise but not once did I experience any motion sickness…thankfully!

- Steve, 05/10/2026 22:03, Travelled with Family

a very relaxing holiday…

Firstly, the Esperanza is not the most modern in the Sail Croatia fleet - but it it extremely well looked after and is in pristine condiition. The Captain was very friendly and engaging. And all of the 8 crew do an incredible job - they are all very focusing on deliverying outstanding customer service. Our room was very well equiped, comfortable and surprisingly spacious - and the bathroom was a great size. The boat, has plenty of deck space, to sit out in the sun and there are also plenty of shaded areas. The seating areas of the boat and large and comfortable - you never feel there is not enough space. The restaurant was set for 8 people per table. The breakfast is a buffet with plenty of options. Lunch was a fixed 3 course meal - there was also a small daily salad bar available with lunch. Internet was a. challenge onboard. The only criticism I have is that the tour leader - who was very nice and very helpful - had a focus on cash only tours and cash tips for the crew

Thank you for your detailed feedback and 4 star review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your time aboard Esperanza and particularly appreciated the Captain, crew, spacious cabins and onboard facilities. We would like to clarify that optional excursions are operated by local suppliers in Croatia, with cash being their preferred payment method. Similarly, while crew gratuities are entirely optional, cash is the method used onboard should guests wish to leave a tip. Thank you again for travelling with us and for recognising the fantastic service provided by the Esperanza crew.

Split South on Katarina

We had a fantastic time on the Katarina, the Split South itinerary. Such a nice boat/yacht! Our quarters were spacious and comfortable. The crew was professional, friendly and very accomodating, felt like family. Our cruise director Dino was kind and a great communicator in person and on What's Ap. The food on board food (breakfast buffet) and lunches were gourmet, 3 courses.

Island hopping in Croatia with bunches of wonderful folks

Loved it. Croatian islands are beautiful and Klara and the Esperanza crew were great. Lunch meals were excellent. Swim stops perfect. Very relaxing. Loved the other passengers - from all over the world.

Split to Dubrovnik

The crew were great and the ship was well laid out, very clean and tidy, and well maintained. We missed two destinations we were really looking forward to, the Blue Cave and Mljet island, but no effort was made by Sail Croatia to try and replace these locations with other appropriate destinations. Two destinations we did visit were very poor and of little interest - a walk of an hour allowed you to see all there was, which was not much! There were other blue and emerald caves that we passed on our journey but no effort was made to include these instead. Not a very good outcome and quite disappointing.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you found the crew great and the ship clean, well maintained and thoughtfully laid out. We’re sorry you were disappointed to miss the Blue Cave and Mljet, particularly as these were destinations you were looking forward to. While itinerary changes can occasionally be necessary due to weather, sea conditions and local operating circumstances, we appreciate that alternative stops may not always feel comparable to those originally planned. Unfortunately, other caves along the route are not necessarily suitable or accessible for our vessels or able to be substituted at short notice. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry these changes impacted your overall experience.

Sailing aboard the Katarina was wonderful!

Had the best time aboard the Katarina! The captain and his staff worked so hard to make sure our group of eight friends were happy. I enjoyed the yacht and each island we stopped at. Dino our tour manager was a great!

Outstanding experience on the Katarina

Outstanding experience. We were on the Split south cruise. The boat Katarina was first rate in terms of amenities, food, and crew. Very attentive and responsive. Boat was immaculate and well maintained. Our cruise director Dino was outstanding at coordinating all activities and providing valuable updates at meals and via WhatsApp group messaging. Always available and responsive. Very personable. He went above and beyond for passengers on the cruise who were older with some mobility limitations. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia especially this boat the Katarina to my friends and family.

Outstanding Cruise

Sail Croatia offers the best in cruising and they live up to their promise to have an amazing cruise in every way. We’ll never ever go back to a large cruise again. 5🌟 & 👍👍.

Nice trip

Cruise was very nice, here are the positives and then what I would change. Good was food, prices on drinks was fair, Mio on staff, Croatia, cleanliness, captains dinner, communication once on ship, staff responsiveness, I would change the following, better quality water toys (standup paddle boards were cheapest quality imaginable), add “nice touches”( snacks, mints on pillow, thoughtful stuff). Huge lunch unnecessary and getting to islands after 2:30, often even later kinda sucked, change up breakfast offering/spread, outside Mio, Klara and captain, staff wasn’t engaging or customer friendly, everyday long swim stop not ideal or needed/wanted, get us to islands earlier, update website to correct information, (eg pay Bartab with cc or 10% discount for cash, etc, ) and a little disappointed we didn’t get to Vis - due to weather - but a friends boat went same day we should have. Overall very nice but was missing the thoughtful touches to make it a special and outstanding memory.

The crew on the Olimp was very warm and responsive to any needs we had. Captain George picked the best swim spots! The ship was beautiful and the crew took great pride in keeping it so.

We sailed on the very well appointed ship Romantic Star from the 6th to the 13th September 2026. Everything about the cruise exceeded our expectations, from the roomy cabins, lounge and bar to the sun deck and hottub. We visited several beautiful islands, sailing the mornings and mooring up for swim stops. The ship had a range of water equipment for snorkelling and paddle boards amongst other things. The crew were fantastic, and i would like to acknowledge the professionalism of all of them. Our Cruise Director, Anita, was wonderful, very informative about our destinations and proactive in recommending restaurants and bookings. We made great friends on the cruise and hopefully we will remain friends for a long time to come. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia to my friends and family.

This was a "Bucket List" trip. Great host (Klara) and crew!! Boat was kept immaculate the entirety of the trip.

Sail Croatia - AS

Good but hoped for more time to explore/shop … on the stops. Door stops for bathroom door needed, bathroom re-supply and amenities were poor, toilet was never cleaned in our room. Breakfast window of 8-9 too short when underway by 6-7 each day. A bit more variety in the hot breakfast menu - it was the same fare each day.. More excursions offered with passenger commitment secured before the trip starts - not everyone is into swimming and water sports. Crew and servers were very attentive and friendly. Lunches on board, captain’s dinner and impromptu barbecue dinner on board were excellent. A good sail overall.

Too late and too long

Average at best. The food was well below average and we could not dock at a port until the afternoon. If you like sitting on a ship with nothing to do but play on your phone and take a swim off the back, then it’s perfect. Otherwise do something else.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of the experience, particularly the food, did not meet your expectations. We would, however, like to clarify that the schedule you experienced reflects the way our small-ship cruises are designed to operate. Ships generally depart in the morning, with time spent cruising and enjoying swim stops along the route, before arriving at the next destination in the early afternoon. The ship then remains in port overnight, giving guests the afternoon and evening to explore the town, enjoy activities and have dinner ashore at their own pace. We appreciate that this style of cruising may not suit everyone, but for many guests the combination of cruising, swim stops and extended time ashore is an important part of the experience. Thank you again for travelling with us and for sharing your feedback.

Epic Trip

Once we arrived dockside, the experience became something entirely different. We stopped feeling like customers and were treated like guests. The crew of Esperanza, along with Dino, our cruise coordinator, bent over backward to make sure we had the best possible experience. Every day, they seemed to look for some way to make that day even better than the one before—and somehow, they did. One evening, the crew decided to have a dockside cookout. We went into town to a local butcher and picked out an incredible assortment of fresh meats. That evening, the Captain and Dino grilled everything for us while the chef aboard prepared an amazing selection of side dishes. It was an absolute feast. We invited the crew to sit down and eat with us, and they did. We shared a meal, had wonderful conversations, laughed together, and got to know the people who had been taking such good care of us all week. Somewhere along the way, the relationship changed. They became friends. THANK YOU!

Hi, just wanted to say that whilst the holiday destinations were excellent and the boat and crew generally upto the job, the food on board was way below the standard I would expect for a trip of this nature. This was a generally held opinion of the guests onboard to the extent that it spoilt an otherwise agreeable experience. Thanks.

Croatia in Style

My wife and i were part of a group of 6 that joined the vessel OLIMP,sailing from Dubrovnik to Split. We soon found ourselves part of a friendly group of 36, Australians, Americans, and UK. The stylish and spacious OLIMP was a joy to travel on, the swimming stops and ports were all different yet enjoyable. Food was excellent and the crew led by captain George and Dino were outstanding. Dinos tour knowledge, ideas for each port were so helpful, and always delivered with plenty of laughs. We highly recommend our trip with Sail Croatia

Kararina-The Best Boat on the Water!

Excellent time! Vedran is great tour leader! This boat is Family owned and immaculate! All staff are family and they care deeply about the boat and assuring guests have a great time. The only reason I gave this a 4-star rating is that the air conditioning in the cabins just could not keep up with the boiling outside temperature. Most everyone had issues with the air conditioning. Also, in my opinion, the lighting in the bathrooms is not sufficient. PRO Tip 1: Evidently the cabins below deck stay cooler than those above deck PRO Tip 2: Bring clothing that is quick drying and can be washed in the sink or shower. There are ship bars outside the cabins on the upper deck where you can hang them to dry. Clothes pins are provided. PRO Tip 3: Do not bring anything fancy, cool light weight fabrics are best. PRO Tip 4: A portable travel fan will come in handy. PRO Tip 5: Buy Euro at first island stop for less than getting it at home if not your currency.

Amazing Trip

I can honestly say that my experience aboard the Katarina of Sail Croatia was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was beautifully organized, relaxed, and welcoming. The cruise was a fantastic way to discover the Croatian coast, with its breathtaking islands, crystal-clear waters, charming towns, and unforgettable swimming stops. Every day brought something new, while the atmosphere on board made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. A special thank you to the wonderful crew, who were attentive, professional, warm, and always ready to help. Their hospitality truly made the trip memorable. The food, service, organization, and overall standard were excellent. What I will remember most, however, are the people we met, the laughter, the beautiful moments, and the incredible memories we created along the way. The Katarina of Sail Croatia cruise was a truly a special experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

Unique and intimate way to see Croatia

Our trip was beautiful in near every way. The crew were especially attentive, flexible, experienced and friendly. Our tour manager Vedran was key to our experience. He was the perfect balance of friendliness, professionalism and competence. The boat was comfortable and well appointed (although the WiFi was challenging outside the salon). The food was good with much variety available although if cuisine is your top priority it was good, not great. Our smaller ship allowed us to visit smaller ports not overrun with 1000s from large vessels. The itinerary introduced us to different experiences at each port, from a small fishing village to the glitzy riviera. A daily briefing allowed us to learn about each port and guided us to see the unique offerings and “must sees.” I was skeptical about the claim we’d have many new friends…. I was wrong, it’s 100% true. We enjoyed this so much we may very well do it again…. And we never do that. If you are on the fence, take this trip. Really.

Fabulous Cruise

Very nice ship in top condition and handled well by Captain. Had upper deck cabin….nice bathroom/shower but bed too firm and pillows lacking. Cruise Director “Dino” was excellent….5 stars! His knowledge, attentiveness to everyone was top shelf. A real gem of a cruise director. Stewardesses and deck-hands 5 stars. Cook has mixed reviews …if you like food well done then no complaint. But we liked our food medium rare and unfortunately all dinners except two were well done. Presentation and deserts very good. Nice swim stop locations and interesting ports. Overall…we give it an 9.0 with only real complaint: Not asking passengers how they liked their meat or fish cooked. There were only 6 couples on our cruise. It could have been handled easily in the galley.

Excellent week cruising the Adriatic with Sail Croatia

Our week aboard the Olimp was truly wonderful and one we’ll remember for a long time. With just 14 guests, everyone quickly got to know each other, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We shared lots of laughs, enjoyed beautiful weather, and loved the fantastic swimming stops in crystal-clear waters. The crew was exceptional throughout. A special thank you to Lola, our Tour Manager, for being so helpful, friendly, and informative. Linda and Ally always served us with a smile, while Nikolina looked after our cabin brilliantly. The food was excellent, so thanks to the chef and sous-chef. Captain Yure (George) navigated us safely and professionally, and the hardworking crew behind the scenes kept everything running smoothly. Their dedication made our cruise unforgettable. Thank you to the entire Olimp team. Croatia’s stunning coastline is truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to return.

Amazing trip

We sailed on the Olimp⚓️ from Dubrovnik to split. What an amazing adventure. The ship was very clean and modern. The crew was amazing. I could not believe the quality of the food that they served out of the small kitchen! The swim stops were one of the highlights for me. We look forward to coming back again as my wife said this was the best vacation since our honeymoon 28 years ago.

Queen Jelena fantasy cruise!

Best possible way to see the Croatian islands. Croatian people are wonderful. Food was great (especially the Peka octopus). We would definitely do this again. Our boat was the most elegant one on the water. Beautiful lines, comfortable cabins with en suite bathroom, relaxing salons and friendly crew. Our guide directed us to the best excursions and advised us off the worst.

Fantastic Romantic Star Island Cruise

Fantastic cruise from start to finish. The boat was beautiful as was the cabin. The crew were friendly and helpful and always had a smile on their faces. Anita the tour manager was exceptional on keeping us informed and supporting and looking after all the guests at any time of the day, extremely professional. The islands we visited were beautiful and swim stops great. We had a great time with all our fellow travellers and Anita supported this large family bonding of all the guests. Truly a great holiday which will be long remembered.

Jelena 14 Jun 2026

The holiday was excellent. The boat was splendid, decks and cabins clean and tidy, crew expert and helpful, and food excellent with good variety and not too much local which we could get ashore. The helpful personal human contact from the UK office was much appreciated. Guide Vicko was charming, expert, and very helpful with recommendations and arrangements. He should be a little more aware of those who are less fit and techie; at Mljet to point out that the path had steep steps with dangerously poor surfaces; and in Brac he omitted that the good Navigare restaurant was not 'over there' across the haven, but at the end of it within the boatyard with no notice at the gate but a keep out sign, so we walked a long way looking for it. Some do not have whatsapp: basic arrangements etc could be printed or put on a notice board plus a list of guests and crew to help learn. Many thanks to all.

Split-Dubrovnik Elegance Cruise

Absolutely amazing. There are very few holidays that are flawless, but this was one of them. From the moment we stepped on board Katarina we were blown away by the attention to detail by the crew and how amazing the boat was. The itinerary was perfect, with a great mix of tours and plenty of time to still relax and unwind along the stunning Croatian coastline. Our tour manager Anita was enthusiastic, thoughtful and a passionate person, that had everything covered from the moment we arrived. We have made life long friends and memories from our time onboard and would not hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone who might be interested.

Amazing Experience

We had an incredible time and Croatia was beautiful. Our cabin was quite spacious and the shower was good. We would have liked to see a kettle and cups in the room. The food was excellent and there was a good variety of food for lunch. It was nice to see land whilst cruising along. The islands we visited were beautiful and the swim stops were very enjoyable. I do feel the suggested tips for the staff were very high, 105 euros per person for the host on a ship of 36 people is 3,780 euros for the week. Whilst our host was very good it is still an awful lot of money for one person in tips alone. All in all an excellent experience and we would highly recommend the trip.

A week of relaxing luxury

My family had three cabins on the ship for the week. We enjoyed it thoroughly! The ship was 100% clean, beautiful and well organized. The beds and linens, outstanding. The crew absolutely focused on exceeding expectations. The Chef and his assistant prepared delicious breakfasts and lunches. Captain’s dinner evening was exceptional, and they brought on board a great musician to entertain us. Everybody danced and had a ball! The swim stops were a blast. And each port showed us a different dimension of Croatia. My wife and I would take this cruise again in a heartbeat!

Dazzling scenery, gourmet meals, compatible travelers

Cruise Director Dino is a national treasure. If ever I am playing "Croatia Trivia" I want Dino at my side. No question was too difficult or obscure. The food on board was great, especially from such a small galley. The opportunity to dine on shore at a restaurant of our choice was great for tasting Croatia cuisine and meeting locals. We discovered some grape varietals on the wine list we were not familiar with. The Captains Dinner was a blast!

The sailing holiday was very good, the boat , OLIMP, was great and the size of the cabin brilliant. Service was very good by the staff and Dino was quite good as the co-ordinator. The only issue was with the payment of the bar. tab at the end of the trip and what cards that were accepted. A few things should be made clearer at the start of the trip so as not to have them becoming an issue on the last night. I will be recommending this trip to fiends for sure.

It doesn’t get any better!

I chose Sail Croatia for the first week of our 4 week tour of Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro because the beautiful ships of the Sail Croatia fleet are both stunning and luxurious. Once onboard for the Romantic Star wine cruise I realized what a good decision I made. Immaculate is the word that comes to mind. Comfortable beds with soft duvets and ample pillows in spacious staterooms. Slept like a baby every night waking refreshed and ready for the wonderful excursions (wine tastings!) planned by the Sail Croatia crew. Cruising the coastal islands of Croatia for a week really sets the scene for a luxurious blend of Croatian cuisine, wines and culture. Can’t say enough about our tour manager Klara who was onboard with us 24/7 and catered to our every need, questions and requests.

Five Stars for Sail Croatia

We expected to have a great time and our experience blew that away!! From the time we stepped on the yacht right through the last day we were treated to perfection. Each member of the 8 person crew worked hard to make this happen. In addition our Sail Croatia representative Vicko kept us informed on everything. From things to do, things to see, experiences not to miss, places to eat, night life, and history of Croatia. We felt like we knew each island before we even step foot on land. We highly recommend seeing Croatia on board Sail Croatia!!

A Trip to Remember

We did the Elegance Dubrovnik-Dubrovnik cruise on Esperanza and had a fantastic time. Dino, our tour guide, was super professional, friendly, and communicative with the entire group and really made our trip memorable. He answered all our questions, gave excellent recommendations for dining & sightseeing, and managed the details of our transportation back to the airport flawlessly. Ivo and Mio also deserve special mention from the crew since they were particularly attentive and friendly throughout the cruise and helped those of us wanting to learn some Serbo-Croatian with patience and humor. Captain Jure was a total professional and clearly a skilled seaman as he guided us through some heavy seas on our return to Dubrovnik. Overall a fantastic visit to some of Croatia’s most beautiful spots with a wonderful ship & crew.

The boat was very clean and the crew made sure any need that came up was addressed. The food was good. The Captain exuded confidence and made sure the guest knew he was in control of the ship at all times, I highly recommend the Romantic Star.

Beautiful country, beautiful people, beautiful ship

If you can find fault with this holiday you have spent the week looking for it, and even then I doubt you will find it. Everything was perfect from breakfast to evening drinks before bed, each trip out was well organised to get the most out of the experience and with morning swims stops everyday each day just flowed perfectly. We had a small kitchen on board that did breakfast and lunch. Well they called it lunch, but each day was a set menu of three courses and the food that came out of that small kitchen was just amazing and all made fresh on board, very talented people in that kitchen first class. Would I recommend Sail Croatia for a holiday, yes without a doubt, Beautiful country, beautiful people, beautiful ship

Incredible experience. Exceeded expectations.

For starters, our guide Ivan was best in class. And the captain and crew were helpful and really good all week. Thoughtful, much attention to detail. We did the wine tour which was lots of fun. Attractions were beautiful. Highly recommend the biking through the national park. On some guided trips you can be programmed to death - this one was just right. Lots of options and guidance on what to do and really good pace for a holiday. There was one moment on the trip when the bus didn't arrive as planned - Ivan had vans show up as a back up plan almost immediately. Felt so comfortable on the trip as he and the crew were just on top of everything. It was my first cruise and it exceeded all expectations from the boat itself to the comfort of the rooms to the food & drink to the quality of service. And Croatia is absolutely stunning. Highly recommend. Thank you Ivan, Captain, and crew on the Queen Jelena!

Exceeding expectations on the Queen Jelena

We are not cruise people, but our time on the Queen Jelena far exceeded our expectations. Ivan, our cruise director was very friendly, informative and helpful. Pamela always had a smile on her face and Ella and the Josips were like magic working behind the scenes making everything clean, comfortable while Captain Gordon kept us safe and sound and found the best swim spots. The kitchen was a standout as the meals were delicious and always elegantly presented which was a plus. The swim spots and wine tastings were great but the highlight for us was the professionalism of Ivan, Pamela and the rest of the crew which made this cruise one of the best vacations we have ever had.

An incredible unforgettable cruise

The MS Katarina was everything and more I would expect from a "Superyacht". The crew were exceptional, friendly, professional and attentive. The breakfast and lunches were amazing. We had one dinner "the Captains Dinner" on board, which I would describe as absolutely amazing. I would have loved to see how the chef prepared such a gourmet delight for all 36 of us. The daily swim spots were amazing with crystal clear waters for swimming. The Katarina was kept immaculate by all the crew. The Captains night will be remembered by all the guests on board. So much laughter dancing and singing. Will be a cruise that will be remembered by all 8 of our friends and all the other guests. Will definitely be back for another cruise. By far our best trip ever and will recommend to all our friends

Martina and Mio were great. The Guide from Sail Croatia was a little tightly wound and confrontational. The food was just okay, and that’s probably generous. The worst part was all the noise on the boat. Spend ten bucks and put felt sliders on the chairs in the saloon. Seriously. The chair sliding noise killed all the cabins right below it. The drink prices were stupid for what you get. The food was very forgettable. But the boat and the crew were good!

Great Food, Great Fun

We did the trip with family for our mother's 80th birthday. The vessel was excellently equipped, the food high quality and the service excellent. We had swim stops that were my favourite parts...Towns along the way were busy but retiring to the vessel was like a little oasis. The Queen Jelena parked in the center of all the towns which gave us prime access to the towns and sites to visit. It was like having a hotel in the best location in every town that we went to, with luxury transport included. Staff were professional and friendly and our host Nickos was always available to provide advice or answer questions. For someone who enjoys more solitude and time away from the crowds, this trip represented a 'happy medium' between the busy towns of Europe in summer and the solitude provided by the vessel and sailing. Thanks Sail Croatia,

Lovely cruise but definitely room for improvement.

The beautiful ship. The amazing swim stops. The clean and spacious cabins. The ‘welcome on board’ canapés. The opportunity to experience some beautiful, picturesque islands. The Captains dinner. The itinerary. Mio & the lovely cleaning lady who cleaned our cabins. Only having 14 guests on board. Room for improvement:: The staff could be more friendly (except Mio and the cleaning lady - they couldn’t do enough for you); there should be more fish served as part of our lunches as we are out at sea and in the Adriatic! The lunches were lovely but certainly could be improved; the breakfasts and fresh fruit needed to be replenished as you were scared of having too much and not leaving enough for other passengers. It was not clear that you could have more. The chief female waitress in my opinion didn’t want to be there and that was more than obvious at times. As there was only 14 guests on board, it felt like most of the crew were ‘on a jolly’ and did not make enough effort to satisfy.

Great itinerary

We really enjoyed the itinerary and The Esperanza was very well maintained. However some issues need addressing. The staff don’t appear to be very happy in their work place. Deck hands rarely smiled, the waitress in the salon was at times most inappropriate and borderline rude. It’s not every day you hear the F word or gestures using an arms whilst talking to passengers. So totally unprofessional and disrespectful to the Captain.. We appreciate that crew are able to go ashore for free time but please don’t tell the passengers that drinking of alcohol was consumed whilst ashore and then come onto deck to work; Safely for guests and crew surely should be paramount. The salon steward Mio went above and beyond to make every moment a pleasurable experience. The food lacked any wow factor, breakfast tepid, cold ravioli not nice, lettuce leaves as a salad, fruit bowl not replenished until we complained Only 14 guests in total and that shouldn’t mean less effort.. Representive did his job.

A magnificent week on the Wine Cruise!

We arrived at the boat in Dubrovnik and met the very welcoming host Vedran. We were made to feel at home instantly and explored the boat which had all the facilities you would expect and a splendid hot tub on the sun deck. To say we had a blast is probably a bit of an understatement. We all got on very well as a group, and the staff were excellent – including Mio, Martina, Sylvie and the captain Vlado. We were lucky with a very hot & sunny week so the daily swim stops in coves were always welcome. And then there was the wine….. Whilst by no means experts we can now distinguish our Grk from our Vugava and discuss the styles of Posip! And for red, the ubiquitous Plavac Mali (literally ‘little blue’) was made in all sorts of styles. We visited family wineries in various locations including a fun jeep safari on the island of Brac and a local Peka dinner on Hvar. Thanks Vedran for your knowledge, unflappability and company during the week. Keep on singing those songs!!! živjeli!

From the minute we boarded our vessel, Esperanza we knew it would be a great holiday. The service from all of the crew was exceptional, with Dino, our tour guide providing us with valuable information and he had very sound knowledge of every destination we visited. I would place Dino as one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Martina, our front of house hostess, did an amazing job of keeping all of the guests happy in every possible way. Nothing was too difficult for her and made everyone feel happy. I would highly recommend this cruise for anyone looking for an educational and fun holiday in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thank you Sail Croatia for the wonderful experience.

Exceptional Company and Cruise

Everything from pre-cruise planning with the Sail Croatia staff, to our Sail Croatia representative Vicko, to the staff and crew on Romantic Star was exceptional. Our cruise had shipmates from all over the world and everyone got along fantastically and had a wonderful time. I can honestly say that everything about this cruise was terrific and I will recommend Sail Croatia to anyone interested in visiting Croatia!

Mia our guide and the entire crew of the Katarina worked so diligently to give their guests an unforgettable experience. The ship was beautiful and was kept in pristine condition. The food was gorgeous and catered very well also for we vegetarians. We enjoyed the daily swims, and of course the excursions on the islands in the fabulous weather. A highlight for us was meeting very interesting and lovely people from all over the world. The holiday of a lifetime!!

Croatian Dream

Our tour director, Vedran, and Esperanza's crew provided us with a great experience both on board and on shore. Their hospitality was exceptional, as they made every effort to ensure our experience was outstanding. Passengers from 4 different countries made the trip even more delightful. The weather was perfect for exploring the islands. Food was excellent both on the ship and at our ports of call. Although the May water temperature was cool, swimming off the back of the Esperanza was a daily ritual that made our trip even more memorable. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Overall, it was a fantastic experience; I highly recommend it!

"From Sea to Satisfaction — Perfection Aboard!"

I would give Sail Croatia two thumbs up, 10 out of 10, 100% — or whatever else I can say to express just how amazing this experience was! The cruise was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The crew was top notch — friendly, professional, and always going above and beyond. The food was nothing short of spectacular, with delicious meals that exceeded all expectations. It was truly an unforgettable trip, and I can't say enough great things about the entire experience. If you're thinking about booking with Sail Croatia, do it — you won’t regret it!

A spectacular vacation.

The four of us set out to Croatia from Canada via Prague. From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us with humour and. Assistance. The entire trip we were able to relax and enjoy the wonderful cruise and scenic views. It was a wonderful way to spend my 50th birthday with my spouse and best friends. Throughout the cruise we were updated about excursions and opportunities to visit sites.

It was a wonderful adventure to a region of this world I had not considered venturing to before.

Sailing Crotia

The Country and Croatia were beautiful. The Yacht we were on Olympia, was beyond our expectations. The service, food, staff were excellent. After taking several cruises, Our cruise director Dino, was the best we have ever had. He made our trip. We will loook to sail with you company again after this cruise.

- Kristy’ Burnett, 29/04/2025 06:41, Travelled with Family

Fantastic Croatia!

What an adventure! Sailing on the Olimp was fantastic. First, the cruise leader, Ioana. Wow. Dynamic, organized, fun. Not sure the cruise would have been the same without her leading the way. The ship itself was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was helpful to make sure all our needs were met. Beautiful destinations and fun history tours. Even though we were traveling with friends, the new friends we made helped make things even better. Would be happy to go again.

Small ship sailing

The ship, Olmp, was immaculate and the crew always helpful. With only 36 passengers the experience was very personal and we were fortunate to have a very interesting and homogenous group . The meals served were all delicious but the service was a little too efficient for me. I prefer a slower pace while eating. The only meal that I would avoid n the future is the so called "BBQ". Definitely not up t the chefs usually high standards. The Sail Croatia cruise is a great way to sample all that Croatia has to offer. Our cruise director, Ioana, added another dimension to our touring experience. We all had a wonderful and educational experience on the cruise

Cruising the Dalmatian Islands

We sailed the Dalmatian islands off the coast of Croatia on board the luxury cruise yacht Olimp. The accommodation was exceptional comfortable and roomy. Captain Jure and the crew of the Olimp were outstanding, providing an awesome experience, while cruise representative Vedran took great care of us explaining (each day) historic/cultural significance of each port we stopped at and leading us in some of our on-shore tours. Even though our cruse was in late September / early October we still managed to stop periodically in quiet coves to swim and enjoy the waters of the Adriatic.

- Donald, 18/10/2024 15:09, Travelled with Family

Great Time on Olimp

Every aspect of the cruise was great: the ship, the itinerary and of course the staff, especially Ioana, the representative from Sail Croatia. Lots of great memories and pictures!

- David, 15/10/2024 05:33, Travelled with Friend/s

The cruise was my first and I hope to do another in the not so distant future. The captain and crew were so amazing so friendly and so helpful. The lady chef put out the most incredible food. As good as if not better than any restaurant we visited. Our tour leader Ivana was also amazing, she made us feel so welcome and to watch her professionalism was truly get to see. I highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone who wants to enjoy beautiful sights, great food and beautiful people.

Sail Croatia week ending 10/06/13 on Olimp

The crew was fantastic. Very friendly and accommodating. We were kept informed on a daily meeting about changes and weather situations concerning our travels. V our guide was great, suggesting restaurants and other things about the Croatia people. I would choose to do this trip again. It was a vacation of a lifetime! Most people were not happy that coffee couldn't be have after 9:00 am.

Rick Ball

Staff was great. Especially Klara and Pamela. We enjoyed the swim stops and island stops. The meals were so so too much fish for my liking. They’ve in our room didn’t work for 1/2 the week. The tours were great, Capains dinner/dance and wine tours as well I would include gratuity in the price and/or arrange for credit card payments for on board liquor purchases for some people I spoke to were surprised they needed so much euros at the end of the trip which may have an effect on gratuity’s We would highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone that asks us

Queen Jelena - Dubrovnik to Split - 8/25 to 9/1/24

The ship was beautiful and comfortable, the cruise director was very funny and knowledgeable and the crew was very professional, competent, friendly and helpful.. We enjoyed it thoroughly! It was extremely hot during the cruise and the swim stops were a wonderful way to cool off but it was hard to stay cool on the boat. The food was good but lunches were a bit heavy for my tastes and drinks were a bit on the weak side. Stops and excursions were interesting and informative - could have skipped Milna -may be replace with Trogir or a night not in port with 2nd swim stop and simple light dinner on the ship.

The Most Extraordinary and Wonderful Week

We just returned from a 7-night charter of the Queen Jelena. Our group included nine families, including those in age from teens to their 60s. It's a group that has traveled together extensively, but this trip was truly extraordinary. The boat was perfect, the cabins spacious and cool, with great outdoor spaces. The itinerary (Elegance route from Split to Dubrovnik) was wonderful, with each island offering something new. The swim stops, as others have said, are truly magical. Above all else, it was our tour manager, Karolina, that made the week so special, handling our large, boisterous group with aplomb. Our group included a number of hotel and restaurant owners, and I don't think any of us have experienced a more capable and caring hospitality professional. She, Captain Gordan, and the entire crew created a wonderful experience our group of friends will never forget. If you're considering a charter of or cruise on the Queen Jelena, don't hesitate - it's extraordinary.

Excellent experience

The crew was wonderful. The daily swim stops really added to the experience. Food overall was great, but I would have liked to seen a few more hot breakfast choices. Maybe an optional laundry service would make it even better….(I underpacked) Overall it was an amazing trip and one that I will never forget!
