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.

I loved the routine of the days - leave port, sail, breakfast, stop for swim, sail, lunch, dock in port, explore, dinner, sleep repeat! Food magnificent. Exploring great, company even better. Great trip for solo travellers

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!

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
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.
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!
- Mary, 29/09/2026 11:31, Travelled with Family
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.
Enjoyed swim stops we were able to have, Dino terrific with suggestions and guide to our ports, food was good and captain’s dinner excellent with great entertainment

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

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

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.

One of the best holidays we have had. Olimp was a superb yacht and exceeded expectations. The Staff and Crew could n't have been more helpful, the all-round service was all we could ask for. Good food all the way. The Captain found some beautiful secluded swim stops each day, they were probably one of the best parts. The whole cruise was so relaxing, with daily visits to new locations, the ability to get into smaller ports with pretty towns was so much nicer . Our tour guide provided lots of information about where to go, what to do and where to eat, the organised tours were well led. Best of all we met some lovely people and left with good friends and many happy memories

Our trip to Croatia with Sail Croatia was pure perfection! We sailed on the Katarina, which was first class all the way.

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.

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.

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.

Congratulations to every body connected to the cruise .the booking was seamless, the pickup at Dubrovnik Airport by a charming lady started the cruise off on a good footing, The captain and crew of the OLIMP were very profetional and then there was DINO tour leader /manager who did a great outstanding job .he was backed up by the girls in the salon/dineing area and the house staff welldone to all and many thanks .My only problem was the accustics in the dineing room hard to have a meaning conversation ,also the lack of sunbeds (5) but as the ship is going to a refit i expect this has been brought to your attention .coulld i suggest that The Captains dinner be held early in the cruise rather than the end .Ihave cruised twice with I.D.Riva on the ship Carpe Diem and ship Aria both great cruises but you have edge on them, bigger ship and more nationallities next year idd like ro see Sibenik or Montenegro any ideas ? Ihave been with Celebrity ,Princess, and NOL in the past you are no 1

We loved our weeklong cruise from SPLIT to DUBROVNIK on ESPERANZA. Everything about it was simply wonderful. The staff and crew were amazing, the chef and food delicious, the swim locations and ports were wonderful. Two suggestions: get better and stronger coffee without asking for extra payments—everyone on board was very unhappy with the quality. Also….hooks in the bedroom sections of the cabins for a quick hang up of clothes rather than the wardrobe. Bathrooms had hooks but the main section of the cabins could use them as well. .

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!

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!

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
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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Words cannot express the wonderful experience we had on the Sail Croatia Olimp. The people were warm and friendly and went way out of their way to provide top notch service. Always friendly, available and accommodating, we felt so well cared for. The food was incredible, ans we always felt safe wherever we went, We had swim stops, history tours, and rest time. Being on the turquoise blue Adriatic Sea and relaxing in the sun made it the perfect holiday. Don’t hesitate to book a trip on the lovely and well maintained yacht with these beautiful people. 🇭🇷🛥️

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Sail Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik. Everything was well organised, the boat itself was beautiful and the crew and tour leader were excellent. And a big shout out to the chef whose food was outstanding. Would highly recommend.

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!
- Steve, 03/06/2026 11:55, Travelled with Family
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

Very good. Boat was beautiful, so clean and well maintained. Staff were a little aloof but service was good. Rooms and bathrooms very good size. Bar could do with more spirits and a coravin system to avoid serving oxidised wines. Our guide was lovely. Be nice if the captain dressed in uniform and mixed a little. Swim stops were the highlight.
- Val, 27/05/2026 11:40, Travelled with Family
The trip from Dubrovnik to Split was awesome. I have been in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years and I would like to offer some suggestions: -towels need to be dried some way, we had to use them wet. -shower floor is very slippery, you might want to do something. -regular coffee and bread can be better at breakfast. Sweet bread was fine. -Lunch can be better as well. Dessert when made by the lady cook was awesome. she is really good. All the crew offered a fantastic and warm service at all times.. congratulations for that. Ally and Linda worked non stop and the boys as well. Captain was a lot of fun and so friendly and easy going. He did a very good job. Having the boat from Blue Cave take us directly to the ship was a great idea. thank you. Jacuzzi was a little small for a big crowd and we had to take turns. -Dinning room was very noisy during meals. Too many people in a small area. I wish we could extend and eat outside. Thank you and congratulations

Perfect from start to finish. Olimp is a beautiful and well maintained ship. The crew, from the Captain down were superb and looked after all our needs, always smiling and so helpful. Food, breakfast and lunch was excellent. The planning of each day and all the tours made for a busy but most enjoyable experience. Thoroughly recommended and we will be going again next year.

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!
- Mark, 26/05/2026 07:36, Travelled with Family
A wonderful, relaxing holiday, with an amazing host, (Dino) and great crew. The experience was high quality, from the cabin, bathroom size and hot water, through to food, wines, swim stops, island locations and excursions. First Class and would do again !
- Gerhard, 26/05/2026 05:07, Travelled with Family
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.
- Randall, 26/05/2026 04:00, Travelled with Family
My husband and I travelled with Sail Croatia on May 17, 2025 on Romantic Star for a wine tour of the Dalmatian islands. The yacht is very well appointed and the room size was surprisingly roomy for the ship. Our stops were well coordinated and the Croatian wines we sampled were very good. Included 3 course lunches were good. The crew were helpful and our cruise director Klara was a plus. We highly recommend this company.
- Jo-Anne, 26/05/2026 03:08, Travelled with Family
If I could give this cruise a ten I would. This was a trip of a lifetime! The entire crew and our guide Vicko took wonderful care of our entire group. The food cooked by the ship’s chef was delicious and the stops along the way were amazing. We learned a lot about the history of each area and could do as much or as little as we wanted. Everyday we had a swim stop followed by a delicious lunch before docking at that day’s destination. We walked, swam, hiked, biked and also relaxed with afternoon and evening cocktails and local dinners. I always said I would never go on a cruise and if you feel the same this is the one to go on. I highly recommend this trip and the ship we were on, Kraljica Jelena.
- Bess, 25/05/2026 23:24, Travelled with Family
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!!

We had an amazing time. The staff on the Olimp were fantastic - looking after us throughout our time on board. The meals and the service were first class and the Croatian islands and coastline were beautiful. Everyone was very welcoming and we would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

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!!

We were on a wine cruise which was most enjoyable . Lola was helpful and knowledgable and warm. The staff on the boat were warm and friendly. The boat was comfy and the food very good .

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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
Just back from a fun-packed week on Katarina covering Split return south. Klara did a great job helping to organise onshore dining for the whole group. And the crew generally gave us a great time. Missoni Bar on Korcula was a highlight along with dinner at Mijet Island. Not forgetting the Captain's Dinner and the duo of guitarists, whose playing had everyone on the dance floor. This was my fourth visit to Croatia and has to be the best. I'll be back.

From start to finish the cruise and the staff exeeded our expectations , what a wonderful experience. We are already discussing our next cruise !!
- David, 10/06/2025 06:26, Travelled with Family
The itinerary, the crew/staff, and comfort of the bedrooms/bath were top-notch. We truly enjoyed the daily swim stops (whether we swam or not), each gorgeous island, and the ship's facilities. Our tour manager, Klara, took very good care of us, with excellent recommendations at each stop.
- Carrie, 09/06/2025 17:31, Travelled with Family
The trip was easy to book, with lots of helpful tips and instructions on how to find to the ship in Split harbour. The itinerary was just perfect, island hopping everyday and stopping for swimming while spending a relaxing morning sailing and sunbathing on deck. Our tour host, Dino, made our trip truly memorable as well as the other guests we spent our week with. Dino was amazing, such a delightful guy. Our group is still messaging each other on the WhatsApp chat that Dino set up. We were informed each day of what to expect, what we could see, what time we were setting off, where to eat, drink, best places for anything that any guest was looking for. The holiday was a delightful balance of being well looked after whilst freedom to see/do as much as we wanted. Remember to bring more long-sleeved clothing if travelling in May as evenings are cool. Lunch was a tasty 3-course cooked meal which I would have preferred as a buffet selection personally. Definitely recommend the trip!

This was an amazing holiday. A great way to see Croatia . The food was truly amazing. The staff were also amazing. We had such a great time and would sail with this company again .
- phyllis, 21/05/2025 13:22, Travelled with Family
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
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.
- Stacey, 13/05/2025 18:56, Travelled Solo
Cruise and Croatia was great. More than I expected. Never bored, the week flew by, plenty of food, little to complain about!
- Bobbi, 13/05/2025 13:25, Travelled with Family
The ship is a classic beauty nicely updated. The service,crew and food superb. Vicko our rep, always kept us well informed and did a great job. Well organised and well planned 7 days cruise. An unmissable experience!
- Edgar , 13/05/2025 13:09, Travelled Solo
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.

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.

Great crew, food , service, wine, other guests. Wonderful introduction to this beautiful country. Its history food, wine and people.
- Deborah, 27/10/2024 14:39, Travelled with Family
Our Tour Manager, and a professional crew The Group of wonderful people ( now friends) Croatia experience first time. Excellent planned Wine Cruise., very comfortable ship (Jelena) Reducing the rating from 5* to 4* only because the wine tastings fell short of my expectations.
- Catherine, 22/10/2024 10:02, Travelled with Family
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
Sailed on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik and back. It was great to visit some smaller destinations. We were extremely well looked after by all the crew. A special mention has to go to our guide Ioana who brought her energy every day.
- Wendy, 16/10/2024 08:13, Travelled with Family
The other passengers were lovely and kind. The staff were very professional and helpful. Ivana was a brilliant Tour Manager too.
- Julie Bozicevic , 15/10/2024 15:36, Travelled Solo
We travelled up the Croatian Coast in Oct. 2024. The trip was simply terrific. The itinerary was first rate, the crew could not do enough to accommodate us, the ship was beautiful, and the food was better than restaurants. Overall we are recommending this type of travel, with Sail Croatia, to all of our friends.
- Anonymous, 15/10/2024 02:27, Travelled with Family
The ship was comfortable and quite luxurious. Staff were very helpful and always pleasant The food was excellent. Congratulations to the chefs The cabin was cleaned daily and towels and bedding changed. Well done to the maid The captain changed the route when necessary to enjoy a safe venue and sheltered areas to swim. Being able to use the drop down platform enabled me to enjoy the daily swim stop. I would not have been able to do the swimming without it. Captain and crew did everything to enhance our experience. The travel guide V was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour. All in all a very positive and memorable trip. I woul highly recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you Sail Croatia and staff of Olimp.

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

Great trip, wonderful scenery, super food, amazing tour guide (Karolina), friendly staff, and helpful sales team (we had to postpone our original trip for a year due to a knee replacement)..
- Peter, 08/10/2024 15:01, Travelled with Family
From the first day to the last day everything went as planned, the areas we visited were fantastic. The food on board was great and the staff were all very nice and helpful. Would definitely do a cruise with you again.
- Stephen, 05/10/2024 23:50, Travelled with Family
Not sure where to even start - we had smiles on our faces from the moment we were greeted by our cruise rep for the trip, Vedran. He made us feel welcome and we knew we were in a fabulous trip! The staff of 7 (not including Vedran and Captain Gordan) did everything they could to make our 7 days the best they could ever be. Everyday we went to a new island full of beauty unlike anything we've ever seen! Vedran gave us some much education, information and recommendations at each location which was extremely helpful! His passion for Croatia is infectious! Our room was cleaned every morning by sweet Ella (a thank less job but very appreciated). Our room was very comfortable - we opted for a room on the lower level and it was perfect! The chefs - Frane and Ana, created a lovely breakfast and delicious, large lunches every day and they were great! Our waiters/baretenders - Tomo and Pamela - were so professional and so fun to get to know. I miss everyone so much! Until next time.
- Cristina, 20/09/2024 18:05, Travelled with Family
Mia, the team leader, and all of the crew. Together with the captain the made the whole experience. The captain navigated to ensure we missed nothing on our itinerary. We are looking to book another cruise next year.
- Catherine , 17/09/2024 06:14, Travelled with Family
No snacks and coffee service only a few hours a day? Also couldn’t get a beverage while band was playing? Boat lost revenue during entertainment because couldn’t access the bar
- John, 17/09/2024 05:00, Travelled with Family
Honestly every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming. Karolina was amazing and so warm.. we happened to board with a fantastic group of travellers all very kind and friendly. The boat is very comfortable and clean. The daily swims and perfect weather the cherry on the top.
- Catherine, 10/09/2024 10:32, Travelled with Family

Beautiful weather, fantastic crew and such a perfect start to our adventure. Couldn’t fault anything
- Cathy, 10/09/2024 05:25, Travelled with Family
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.

Thoroughly enjoyed cruising the Croatian islands on our Dubrovnik to Split and return to Dubrovnik tour. Each port we stopped at represented a lesson in history. Thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour in Split and Dubrovnik with the local guides as well as the fabulous dinner with wine in Stari Grad at a local farm restaurant. Our morning swimming stops were a pleasure and the food served on the boat was divine. But there were negatives: 1. Our lower level cabins were adjacent to the engine room therefore when the boat left port early in the morning, no further sleep or talking could be had. These cabins were priced the same as the forward lower level cabins which seems unfair. 2. No itemised bar bills were provided so you had to assume that what you were billed for, you actually drank. 3. The boats internet was rubbish. 4. When rafted up at port with other boats, crossing over was difficult at times due to the height of each boat I.e. need individual ramps and not step up or down.
- Rosalie, 05/09/2024 14:17, Travelled with Family
Dear Rosalie, Thank you for your detailed review and for sharing both the highlights and suggestions on both of your tours. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the historical walking tours, the fabulous dinner in Stari Grad, and the divine food onboard, as well as the beautiful morning swim stops in lovely secluded bays. We regret to hear that there were some aspects that had an impact on your overall cruise experience. Regarding the noise from the engines, as our ships are small motor cruisers, the engines do make some unavoidable noise when in operation, similar to a running car. We understand this may affect travelers differently, but it is part of the small ship experience. We are pleased to advise that we received a total customer score rating of 4.4/5 for your week onboard. Regarding the bar bill, guests are welcome to request an itemised bill each day to track their consumption. The Wi-Fi can be temperamental as it is subject to download limits and can experience reduced coverage while out at sea. The ramps between boats are designed for ease of movement, but due to the unique designs of each vessel, some variations in height are expected - we appreciate your suggestion of individual ramps. We thank you again for all your feedback and hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip.
Everything about our Elegance Cruise on Olimp was 5 star with wonderful staff, dining and ship facilities. The swim platform on our boat was the best we saw in Croatia. Wouldn’t hesitate to return on another trip.
- Beth, 26/08/2024 07:21, Travelled with Family
The Olimp and its crew were amazing, friendly and attentive . The yacht is gorgeous and the whole experience exceeded my expectation. The daily swims were fabulous, the daily lunches delicious and the excursions that Mia recommended were a lot of fun. Fellow passengers were a lot of fun and made it memorable as well. Thanks again to a wonderful captain George, his crew and Mia!! Looking forward to another trip in the future.
- Maria, 23/08/2024 18:21, Travelled with Family
I would have given this experience a 5* as almost everything was perfect with the exception of a few things. Beach towel for one person for the entire week is not acceptable. Changing of the bath towels every few days is also not acceptable. Breakfast time should be longer. Everything else was great !
- Cristina, 20/08/2024 17:31, Travelled with Family
It was an awesome experience
- Jose Pereira, 20/08/2024 15:39, Travelled with Family
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!

Ten person adult family trip - wonderful way to see the best of Croatia. Cities of Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Split as well as smaller island villages. Balanced blend of excursions and free time to explore. Enjoyed our time, met people from Australia, England, and the US, and have already recommended Sail Croatia to family and friends considering a holiday in Croatia. Excellent staff (Mia) and ship crew,
- Mike, 14/08/2024 11:44, Travelled with Family
We were blown away by the ship, our room, all the amenities, the places we stopped, the food, etc., but mostly the personnel. Our guide/coordinator Barbara was wonderful. She answered all of our questions and concerns quickly, she was very friendly and competent. For anyone looking for a great experience they should take advantage of what Sail Croatia has to offer.
