A great trip!! Particular shout out to Tonka and Elena for their care and guidance on our e-bike expeditions and other activities throughout the island. The crew was extremely service oriented and the food was excellent. We would definitely book another trip with Sail Croatia.

I can't think of a better way to explore the islands of Croatia! We spent days cycling through the scenic countryside with super competent and fun guides, and evenings docked in pretty little port towns on our beautiful ship. The Croatian crew was fabulous, the food was great and everything was really well organized. The whole week felt adventurous and relaxing at the same time. I loved every minute of it!

Our holiday with Sail Croatia was amazing. What a wonderful way to see this beautiful country. The staff went above and beyond in their service to teach us about the history and care for our needs. Special shout out to Kristina, Josko, Andro, who made this an extra special holiday!!

The boat, Princeza Diana, was lovely and the crew was outstanding! Our daily lunches were just delicious, way nicer than we anticipated. Our cycling guides, Tonka and Elena, managed to keep 32 riders of varying skill levels safe and entertained. Our daily rides were so much fun on the beautiful Croatian islands!
- Patricia, 12/05/2026 22:22, Travelled in a Couple
We experienced great service and were completely satisfied with our trip. The captain and crew did an outstanding job navigating us through the outer islands near Split. Our cycling guides Miranda and Lucy were always cheerful and enthusiastic. The e-bikes are very user friendly and can power up the hills with no problem.. Lucy helped us to learn about Croatian culture and history at our rest stops while riding through the beautiful countryside. Extra add ons like wine tasting, olive oil tasting and a meal on a local farm.added to the experience.
- Joan, 12/05/2026 16:51, Travelled in a Couple
The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The boat was immaculate, our cabin was spacious, the food was top notch and the crew and guides were excellent. A special shout out goes to Tonka and Elena for leading our large group with such ease. We especially enjoyed Tonka’s “story times” throughout our rides. Loved every minute of it!!
- Sharon, 12/05/2026 13:38, Travelled in a Couple
It was a really great experience. The guides J and Matilda were wonderful and really worked to give us safe and enjoyable rides. Ebikes are wonderful! I felt like I was riding but not stressed. The crew on the Emanuel were wonderful and friendly and the food was really good. The rooms are small but that's to be expected on a small boat. I would certainly recommend this to someone who wants to explore Croatia in a fun different way.
- Arlene, 12/05/2026 12:31,
What a wonderful week travelling on the Mali Luka from island to island to cycle in beautiful Croatia. We appreciated the emphasis on safety and fun at the same time. Our guides Ivica and Sasha treated everyone equally and made us all feel very comfortable. The routes are a mix of lengths with varied scenery keeping it interesting. Historical facts were shared about each location. The staff work around the clock making sure that the experience for clients is sensational. Excellent communication with WhatsApp throughout. Book this adventure as soon as you can!
- MaryBeth, 12/05/2026 10:50, Travelled in a Couple
Had a great trip…the guide staff were experienced and knowledgeable…always ready to help, lead, inform, suggest alternatives and more. The boat’s crew including the captain, the sailors, the cook and the other staff provided a smooth boating experience and wonderful meals. The bikes were well maintained and easy to use. Convinced us it’ll soon be time to buy an “e” bike at home.” We have no reservations in recommending Sail Croatia!
- Tony, 12/05/2026 07:58, Travelled in a Couple
Just about everything!!! This was the most enjoyable vacation I have ever taken because the Sail Croatia staff - tour director Sasa and Ivica (cyling guide) made it all so easy and fun. We had one raiiny cool day and they even made that fun - there was no way I was missing out on the ride. I also loved how they recommended or organized things to do on the various islands after the ride - like learn about stone masonary, going to a local winery for a wine tasting and even a local live play. After I had a little fall (not on the bike) they came to my rescue immediately and made me feel safe. I will always love Croatia and I hope to return next year to try another route --I will ask for Sasa and Ivica and I would follow them anywhere. I already miss them and this amazing holiday and it has only been three days since our tour ended. .

So the Boat is absolutely beautiful and the meals were outstanding…. All of the Crew went above and beyond… so accommodating… especially Tea and Danny….our cycling guides were awesome… especially Tonka who was so knowledgeable, funny and always had a plan b as needed…. Also big shout out to our Captian who could park that boat on a dime
- Andrea, 12/05/2026 00:39, Travelled in a Couple
We had wonderful time cruising from Island to Island on the Mali Luka and enjoyed the cycling excursions led by Ivica and Sasha. The food, accommodations and staff on board were first rate, and I would highly recommend the trip to anyone who enjoys a great adventure. Thank you again to the captain and crew for a great week!
- Gordon, 11/05/2026 21:13, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I had a fantastic time cycling and cruising. Our guides made our trip exceptional, their knowledge and attentativeness and care they put in to the whole week made it awesome.
- Erin Long, 11/05/2026 18:24, Travelled in a Couple
The biking cruise was an amazing way to see Croatia! The guides were exceptional! Miranda and Luci made the rides and experience very special, they recommended ideas on each stop. The boat crew worked hard and were very accommodating, they kept the boat so clean!
- Kim, 11/05/2026 15:04,
The crew and tour guides were absolutely phenomenal. The tour guides kept us constantly informed, made necessary changes based on the weather and sight conditions and interacted with the guest. The chef was amazing, not a single bad meal...The captain and crew were wonderful and made an effort to engage with the guests. I would most defiantly recommend this trip.

Elena, Tonka and staff made for a wonderful trip! Delicious food and very informative history! Thank you for making a memorable holiday!
- Barry Tatchell, 11/05/2026 09:12, Travelled in a Couple
The location, accommodation, the Sail Croatia team and the organisation was all really good. My only comment would be the servicing of our cabin. I had to ask for toilet paper on two occasions and it would of been good to have new bedding half way through the week.
- Mark, 11/05/2026 08:46, Travelled in a Couple
Well organised, great guides and boat. Suggested improvements- change sheets mid week. Lunch was great all well other than the last day which was disappointing.
- Katharine, 11/05/2026 08:44, Travelled in a Couple
The staff!! Wonderful tour guides, Tonka and Elena, and wonderful crew on Princess Diana. First class service, food, and comfortable accommodations. All our needs/requests were met with a smile. Fabulous food as well. Loved the bike rides with beautiful scenery, good equipment, and loads of fun information. We would do the entire trip again!

The beauty of the Croatian islands was enhanced greatly by the kind, knowledgeable and dedicated tour managers Ivica and Sasa and the crew of the Mali Luka! Fantastic week.
- Scott, 11/05/2026 08:11, Travelled in a Couple
Our guides, Tonka and Elena were amazing. So knowledgeable and helpful. Also great senses of humour. The ship’s crew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and pampered.
- Judy, 11/05/2026 07:55, Travelled in a Couple
Nice number of guests. Team leaders/tour mangers absolutely terrific, as well all the crew. Food amazing. Accomodation was very comfortable. Such a memorable trip. A great combination of traveling on a midsize boat, max. 32 guests, we had 17 which made the excursion so much more personable with guests and crew. Weather in first of May was decent. 20ish degrees.
- Stanley Androsoff , 11/05/2026 06:02, Travelled with Family
Staff excellent, particularly Elena and Tonker. Food was always good and bikes well maintained. Will recommend to anyone wanting to bike ride Europe.
- Michael Stewart, 11/05/2026 05:47, Travelled Solo
The crew was just exceptional. Tonja & Elena were simply the very best guides you can have. The food prepared by Marco was better than any restaurant and he is so dedicated. The crew itself could not have done more to make this adventure absolutely perfect. The passengers were so overwhelmed by them we are still in communication with your team. Just the best…

Combing our love of boating and cycling the tour exceeded our expectations. The ship crew and our cycling tour guides were professional, friendly and knowledgable making our time on board and visiting the many ports a memorable experience. To the many friends we met we wish you all happy cycling.
- Jane Doherty , 10/05/2026 10:27, Travelled in a Couple
I had a great time on the sail and cycle. It was my first experience with a trip like this and everything was wonderful. The staff was kind (they even made me hot chocolate while the adults had coffee each morning!) and very detail-oriented. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious. Thank you for a great trip!
- Colleen, 06/05/2026 17:13, Travelled with Family
The e-bikes were great and made the cycling easy to do and not exhausting each day. The small group(32) meant good conversations and blossoming connections. The crew and guides and the place were amazing. The islands were truly beautiful.
- Anonymous, 05/05/2026 15:59, Travelled in a Couple
Just being able to see so much of Croatia in a short period of time! We had fantastic guides and our crew were amazing. Wish we could have stayed longer. Our weather was great, food was awesome, the stories and history of Croatia was a bonus. I would recommend your company to all my friends!! My only suggestion would be if you could sell the wine by the glass as opposed to the bottle! 🍷😁
- Diane, 05/05/2026 15:07, Travelled in a Couple
If you are looking to see and learn about Croatia, cycling the islands with Joško and Andro is the best way to go. They are knowledgeable and most excited to share their country. Captain Ante takes such great care of his boat, getting you there safely. I would cycle with this team anywhere anytime.
- Stacy, 04/05/2026 19:59,
We were advised after we sailed about extra charges above those we paid for the trip, 50.00 per person port taxes and harbor charges. Why were surprised by these because sail Croatia didn’t tell us. Not very nice. To be paid in cash before final disembarking.
- Michael, 04/05/2026 16:54, Travelled with Family
Thank you for your 5-star review - we’re so pleased to hear that you and your group rated your experience so highly. We’re sorry to hear that the local payment came as a surprise. We do make every effort to ensure this cost is clearly communicated to all guests prior to booking. The local payment for Cycle Croatia cruises - currently €50 per person - is outlined in several places, including your online account, payment receipt, FAQs, and pre-departure information. This fee covers port charges and tourist taxes incurred throughout the week and is not a hidden cost. We understand that travel details can sometimes be overlooked, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving how we communicate important information to our guests.
Our tour guide Ana was awesome. So knowledgeable about the islands with her little stories of history. The meals on the Princeza Diana were fabulous! We had a great group of people on the tour which made the whole week one of our best holidays!
- Allayme, 04/05/2026 16:08,
Thank you for a wonderful week sailing around the beautiful Croatian islands. This was our second time after three years, and it was even better than before, thanks to a great crew and our guides, especially Ana. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Josko and Andro were amazing guides for our week of cycling. They went above and beyond prior to rides, during the rides and then again to make recommendations on things to do and what to eat.
- Doug, 04/05/2026 12:41, Travelled in a Couple
This was our first visit to Croatia and we loved every minute of it! We had regular bikes and found the rides challenging at times with the 'rolling hills' but so worth it for the views! Beautiful villages, coastline and crystal clear water! The tour guides, Tonka, Matilda and Elena were superb and the crew on board The Emanuel were very attentive and kind, especially Christina! Everything ran so smoothly, and for the first cruise of the season, the weather was fantastic! Made lots of new friends and had a good laugh with like-minded travellers from across the globe! Croatia definitely stole my heart!
- Pam, 04/05/2026 12:40, Travelled with Family
The ship was lovely and cycle guides did a great job looking after us on the rides. ship staff also did a great job with friendliness and efficiency. The ship itself was impressive lovely cabins and great showers. Only critique cabins could be warmer on the cooler says. Heater controls made no difference.
- Michael, 04/05/2026 10:49, Travelled with Family
From our cycling guides to the boat's crew to the food everything couldn't have been better. Our daily cycling had enough flexibility for those who wanted to go from point A to point B quickly could do so and those who wanted to stop and take photos could. The rides were broken up with coffee/rest stops such that there was a relaxed rather than hurry-up feeling I'd experienced on other cycling vacations. I wasn't sure how I felt about cycling in the morning rather than part morning, part afternoon with a lunch stop but I actually preferred it to other schedules. Breakfast had a great variety of hot and cold options and I never expected a 3 course lunch each day. The late April water was too cold for me to do more than a quick jump in and out but having the streets and small villages to ourselves was preferable to later in the season and having to avoid crowds. It was a wonderful experience.

Holiday of a lifetime on a cycling cruise on board the ship Princeza Diana doing the Split return South route. Stunning boat. Very large cabins , spotless en suite , cleaned daily. Fantastic cycling guides Ana and Srjan who looked after us and talked about the history of each island. Took in amazing views, great for photo opportunities. The daily swim stops were incredible , highlight of the trip for me. Beautiful crystal clear water. Swam off the boat. Excellent food and top class hospitality from the whole crew. Good value for money. I am booking again for next year to do a hiking cruise. This is a must do trip for anyone wanting to see Croatia !!!
- Michyla, 04/05/2026 07:36, Travelled with Family
Excellent trip! The bike tour guides Andro and Josko were amazing and the boat crew did a phenomenal job! Would definitely recommend!!
- Courtney, 04/05/2026 07:25, Travelled with Family
It was a great trip. Food was great, scenery, bikes were comfortable. Weather was fantastic for 6 out of the 7days Confirm your checkout time before you make your travel plans after your cruise. We understood checkout was 10am, therefore booked our bus to Dubrovnik for 1230pm then were told checkout was 8am. Cost us extra money for late rescheduling of our bus times to an earlier time. Our only complaint though
- Sarah, 04/05/2026 06:20, Travelled with Family
Thank you for the 5-star review - we’re so glad you enjoyed the trip, food, scenery, and bikes! Our check-out time (8–9am) is outlined at the top of our FAQs, and it’s possible this may have been confused with our check-in time from 10:30am. We appreciate your feedback and would love to welcome you back onboard in the future!
The variety of cycling was interesting - no two days were alike as we visited different islands and cycled through a variety of landscapes. Life on board the Princess Diana was luxurious, the food was generous and very nice and we had a great group of people from different countries.

Awesome trip, being able to experience a different island every day. Weather was super. Visited many sites and met wonderful people on the trip and in the towns. The boat crew and the tour guides were exceptional, providing excellent meals and services as well as recommendations for dining out and side tours. Tour guides Tokna, Matilda and Elena provided great direction and ensured we could handle the daily biking challenges. Thanks for a Great Experience.
