The crew, the captain, our cruise director Ivan, and the ship itself, which was beautiful, combined to make a wonderful trip to Croatia. This was our second time here and we were happy to do it this time “by sea.” We had a great mix of passengers too, which was an added bonus. Thank you so much for everything!

We really enjoyed exploring the various islands. Cabin was large and comfortable. Captain and crew were great. Really appreciated that meals were locally oriented. Bring plenty of euros—tourist fee, tips, bar tab, excursions, etc. Bring swim goggles—sea is very salty, need goggles to open eyes while swimming.

This was a great experience. Vin did a great job coordinating all of the wine tastings and providing excellent background to each destination. Also, Tony and Henry did a great job with the bar service and meal service. The food was excellent and the chef did a great job. The only issue was one of the wine tasting destinations had a problem with the bus not being available for returning us to the marina. Several vans were ordered to accommodate everyone's return trip. Thank you for a wonderful expeience.

While we had questionable weather at times, the staff absolutely brought the energy and passion. From Nickola working tirelessly to ensure we had fun day plans to King Reggy behind the bar and the whole crew looking after us, we all felt safe, fed and excited each day. Definitely would do again.

It was amazing from start to finish, staff were so friendly, the food that came out the small kitchen was absolutely delicious , our tour guide was so informative, he booked restaurants for us , bars, knew everything about every area we stopped he couldn’t have been any better , we had daily swim stops which were beautiful, full breakfasts, 3 course lunches , tea and biscuits, I was really sceptical when booking , but it is one of the best holidays I have been one , anyone debating on going with sail Croatia , please don’t it was amazing and I will definitely be doing another one

We obviously had high hopes when we booked our Elegance Wine Cruise but I can honestly all expectations were exceeded. The boat (Romantic Star), her crew, our host (Vicko), the food, fellow passengers and the well thought out itinerary and fantastic visits to the wineries made this a holiday we’ll never forget.
- Mike, 21/10/2025 07:47,
Better than we anticipated. The staff, guides, locations, rides, bikes and people on the cruise were all fantastic. Would do it again in a heartbeat. A definite must do if you love exploring beautiful places

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
- Gary, 21/10/2025 06:37, Travelled with Family
The cruise was lovely & scenic. I wish we had more time at the ports, the time spent at the swim stops & lunch seemed a little too long. Staff were nice & very professional. Ship was well maintained & very clean.

We travelled on the OLIMP. The only weakness of this trip was the arrival into Dubrovnik. This was a special week made so by the boat crew, staff Sail Croatia and the other guests. Would I do this again - YES. The islands, swimming spots were beautiful.
- Simon, 21/10/2025 04:02, Travelled in a Couple
The boat was lovely , but the crew and cycling tour guides are what made this trip. THEY WORKED HARD!!!!!!! Lifting the bikes everyday and still smiling. The guides were professional and very well informed about the area and were way better at English than we were at Croatian. The food was high quality, promptly served, and plentiful. I woud do the same all over again tomorrow.
- charles, 21/10/2025 02:58, Travelled with Friend/s
We were 4 people that joined an existing group of 24 people that were all connected with each other. We were fortunate in that we all got along great. They were great cheerleaders for those of us not riding e-bikes. Our ride leaders, Ivica and Mario, did an amazing job of planning our rides each day, adjusting routes for the weather and our group's skill level. The crew on the boat were very friendly and helpful. Extra shout out to Christiana, David and our chef (for adjusting meals to meet my vegetarian dietary needs)

Well organised tour, very comfortable well run ship and excellent e-bikes. Clear riding instructions from dedicated guides with safety and fun at heart. Great way to see the islands, swim and explore. Food was outstanding and thoroughly recommend this to others.
- John , 20/10/2025 20:52, Travelled in a Couple
Touring the Croatian Islands on bikes was such a fantastic way to see the gorgeous landscape and historic towns. The e-bikes are what made this vacation so special because they allow everyone to enjoy the ride without too much exertion. I did not use one but I would recommend them for most people. Our tour guides were friendly, patient and knowledgeable. The food was (too) delicious as proven by my scale upon return. I can't stop telling everyone I know how much I enjoyed this trip!
- Nelly, 20/10/2025 18:07, Travelled with Friend/s
The cycling, the crew, the food and the rest of the guests were all fabulous! We were on Classic bikes, which was challenging at times however that's what we wanted! Scenery was beautiful and every day brought more fun and enjoyment. Would definitely repeat the whole thing!!
- Sarah and Ian, 20/10/2025 17:36, Travelled in a Couple
I loved our trip. Ivan+Lucy and the rest of your crew made everything special. Daily updates were clear, informational stories were fun+educational, the food was great, accommodations fitting for a boat. Loved it all! Thank you, Karen

Sailing through Croatia aboard the Salve di Mare was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The vessel itself was spotless and well-maintained, with a crew that took great pride in their work. Every detail—from the gleaming decks to the thoughtfully prepared meals—reflected a high standard of care. The food onboard was a true highlight, each dish freshly prepared and bursting with flavor, perfectly complementing the beautiful views of the Adriatic. The itinerary offered plenty of chances to explore Croatia’s stunning coastline, with stops at charming seaside towns, historic ports, and hidden coves. Swim stops were always a favorite—crystal-clear water, warm sun, and that feeling of pure relaxation only the sea can offer. Our guide, Dino, truly made the trip special. His deep knowledge of Croatia’s history and culture brought each destination to life, and he was always ready with excellent suggestions for local sights, food, and activities. Great trip and would recommend !
- Ian, 20/10/2025 16:13, Travelled with Friend/s
Food was great, boat was very nice. The jacuzzi was not warm enough to use (end of Sept), which was disappointing. The boat only has heat or air and someone requested heat, but it left many of us feeling quite warm in the evenings. Overall a great experience, despite some small issues.
- LC, 20/10/2025 15:25, Travelled in a Couple
Lucy & Ivan were the perfect hosts for this wonderful trip cycling on the islands between Dubrovnik and Split.
- Joe, 20/10/2025 13:54, Travelled with Friend/s
Everything made this trip! Starting with signing up with Sail Croatia.. My girl friends sister had done the trip last year. Being boaters and bikers. We made our decision to do it. It was far beyond my expectations! At first I was hesitant to do it as my travels have never included an organized tour. This trip I was proven wrong. The boat was the perfect size, spanking clean and organized, the crew and bike guides were beyond personable, friendly and professional, the food outstanding! By the end of the trip they all were like family. The group, a mixture from different countries, also became like family, many we will keep in touch with after this trip I do not say these words lightly,. I truly amazed myself with this admittance. I say again, I have never been a fan of tours nor large groups of unknown people. I have been on many world adventures but none quite like this one!

Had a great time, low passenger (21) to staff ratio really helped. Couple of things though - Last cruise of the season meant we had to ask for things like spa being heated, etc - there wasn't a lot of initiative from crew in general, Also food and alcohol was running out so they weren't going to replace certain things. While we got a very SLIGHT reduction in price from peak time it did mean that we still felt as though we had to ask for things. Swim stops were awesome, but many people wanted to do more snorkelling options - It would have been easy to pull in a little closer to shore (100 metres) so we could see the bottom rather than swim there (I swam 250m there and back on one just to see the bottom). These are all minor details - the room was great, the tour manager Dino was AMAZING and dealt so well with a lot of different personalities. He responded immediately to all queries and was very patient with some of the more demanding passengers. We met great people.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We loved our time on board the Mali Ante. The crew and tour guides were very nice, helpful and fun to be around. The food was great. The excursions to the different islands were amazing. The islands are so beautiful. We loved everyone of them. The cycling was perfect for all of us - from beginner to advanced - we all handled it well. This is definitely the best of Croatia.

We were a group of 11 friends on the Queen Jelena Wines of Croatia cruise and had the trip of a lifetime! From the service, to the cleanliness of the boat, to the excursions, everything was flawless. Biggest shout out goes to our intrepid leader Ivan who was always organized and informative, and most importantly, put up with our antics. If we were to come back for another cruise, he would be our top request! And don't forget about the food! The breakfast buffet was always hot and filling. The three course meals were some of the best meals I had while traveling ever. Finally, the dining excursions included were such a delicious way to try traditional dishes. Sail Croatia truly does an exceptional job at customer service and tourism experiences. Thank you for a wonderful trip!
- Lauren, 17/10/2025 15:19, Travelled with Friend/s
From the moment we stepped aboard, the staff demonstrated a level of attentiveness that truly set the tone for the entire journey. They worked incredibly hard, always with kindness and grace, striking the perfect balance of being friendly yet thoroughly professional. Dining on board felt like a fine restaurant experience that Pamela and Ella beautifully prepared and presented. Ivan was a standout—deeply knowledgeable, flexible with the schedule, well organized, and incredibly engaging. They all made each day feel thoughtfully curated, with just the right mix of fun and relaxation. One of the highlights for me were the swim stops, which were both refreshing and well-managed. I felt completely safe under both Josips and Chad’s supervision. Overall, the combination of attentive service, gourmet dining, engaging activities, delightful wine, and a caring, professional team made this wine cruise a truly memorable adventure. Meeting a mix of new friends from all over the world was a bonus.

I absolutely loved this trip! We did the Explorer Split Return on the Almissa. I'm an avid cruiser, but now I'm spoiled and hooked on small ship cruises! It was so nice to have swim stops each day and get to swim right off the bow of the boat in a beautiful cove! Since we overnighted in each port, we were able to enjoy our time there without worrying about getting back to the boat on time! We were docked in the harbor at each port and walking distance to dining, shops, and activities. Food was great and service was excellent. Our cruise director Vin was so friendly and helpful, giving us great tips and advice for each port. My bed was very comfortable and room was clean with good AC! I had an above deck cabin, so I was able to open my window for fresh air, which was very nice since it wasn't very hot during our end of Sept sailing. I would definitely recommend this company and would not hesitate to book another cruise with them if I have the opportunity to return to Croatia!

The guides and boat staff made my 6 day cycling tour from Dubrovnik to Split on the Princess Diana exceptional. -Josk0 (Jay) was the lead for the cycling component and he was exceptional. Josko was always concerned about our safety and satisfaction of our rides. He worked closely with the captain to make needed adjustments to the cycling route as we had 2 days of rain. The rides were amazing. - Anita was also involved with the ride planning and execution and she was an absolute treasure. Very knowledgeable about the history of our locations helping us to learn and being the sweep on the cycling outings. - Violet was an amazing hostess overseeing the bar and food layout. She was a pleasure to have on the tour. The food was quite good - amazing what the chef was able to produce....from salads to deserts! The ship was a bit dated - needing a bit of a facelift to ensure wifi access, that all lights in rooms working, access to hot water for shower throughout the day/evening.

We had an incredible experience with Sail Croatia! The cycle guides (Andro and Lovre) and boat crew (Lucia, Valentina, and all cooks and staff) were helpful, attentive to detail, and made us all feel right at home in a new country. We had a few weather shifts that meant we had to pivot the original itinerary a bit and I couldn't be more impressed with how they made that feel seamless for us passengers. We enjoyed the daily cycling routes and the food provided on the boat was outstanding, too. My only feedback would be to provide swimming towels (those are a pain to pack, let's be honest) and shower soap in the bathrooms! Thank you for an amazing trip!

Great experience, met lovely people, the crew was the best. Niko our rep was always super attentive to all of us, took care of us and made the experience absolutely amazing!

I can't say enough good things about the crew on our sailing/bicycle trip in Croatia. From start to finish, they went above to make sure that everyone's needs were met. The logistics which could be challenging given the itinerary and size of the group were seemless. They balanced safety and professionalism with fun and enjoyment and personal connection perfectly. I have been on other guided trips and Ivan and Lucija are by far the best leaders -they truly brought the trip to life. Bruno and the rest of crew were all exceptional. Highly recommend!

The group of people were all unknowns when we started but soon clicked. We met so many great people and all got on so well together.

Sail Croatia bike/sail trip was fun! It was well organized, with plenty of good food and drink, clean cabins, and especially excellent due to the outstanding crew! We felt safe and well taken care of. They went above and beyond making us comfortable and happy, especially by the leaders Ivan and Luci. The biking trails were picturesque, and the Croatian people were friendly and welcoming. Thank you to all who made this trip very memorable.

The crew, which is responsible for the sailing/transportation of our group from destination to destination, were very good - trying to avoid rough waters, offering good meals (always a breakfast and usually a lunch and the occasional dinner). The cycling component was handled by a lead that planned the routes. Our lead tried to anticipate the abilities of our group, as we had a few non-electric bikers, and I appreciated him factoring the weather, cycling ability, terrain, topography and the ships ability with regards to docking/port authority schedules. By the end of our trip we ended up cycling: distance and total accumulated altitude climb, exceeded most trips of the season.. I believe that accommodations could have been made if our group was either over or under challenged.. Overall cycling Croatia was a great experience for us. We got to see Croatia in a unique way safely guided and well hosted.
