We were on the Romantic Star on the Elegance Cruise. The cabin suite was very spacious and had great storage for all our personal effects. Loved the full size windows to watch the scenery as we cruised. The crew really made an effort to accommodate my special food diet, which was really appreciated. We only had 19 passengers on our cruise as it was near the end of the season, which was really nice as there was so much space on the vessel to hang out. We loved the itinerary to all the different islands. This cruise is very good value for the price and would recommend it to others.

Ivan out tour guide was phenomenal. He taught us something new everyday about the history and geography of Croatia. He always made things interesting and fun. The entire schedule of the Wines of Croatia Cruise was perfect, never too much and always an adventure. We were treated like royalty on the ship and the accomodations were just right. The Queen Jalena is a marvel of a ship. I hope to sail with Sail Croatia again in the next year or tow, NO ONE could be better!!

Well organised cruise encompassing sommeliers and vineyards along the Dalmatian coast. Our tour manager, Vicko, the staff onboard and people we met along the way were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We were recommended the trip by friends and will heartily recommend it ourselves.

After friends recommendation we booked the Wine Cruise Dubrovnik to Split and it was an amazing trip and we made some new friends from all over the world. The cruise, boat crew, food on board and the trips were amazing.

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!

The stunning locations speak for themselves but were complimented beautifully by excellent customer service throughout!

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.
- Robert, 22/10/2025 02:09,
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.

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,
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
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
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
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.
- Jen, 17/10/2025 13:38,
It far exceeded my expectations! Loved the unique itinerary of the cruise and personal attention given by all staff, especially Ivan & Pomella!! Captain’s Dinner was a night to remember!!!
- Beth Biscan, 16/10/2025 14:58, Travelled with Family
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. The cruise was well planned and despite a day or two of windy conditions it went off without a hitch. The staff were were always friendly and happy and willing to help whenever possible.

The food on board was delicious! The weather was superb which allowed us to look forward to each and every swim stop. Loved all the islands we visited. Our cruise director Anita was the absolute best. Always keeping us informed ahead of time on what to expect at each island and ideas on where explore, what activities to possibly participate in and amazing selection of restaurant choices. She was always quick to answer questions, make reservations and assist with any problems anyone had. What a kind beautiful person who clearly loves what she does. We have raved about our holiday and our Sail Croatia experience. What an incredible way to meet people from around the world, explore the many regions of Croatia. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea was a favourite part, one we looked forward to daily. Loved loved loved this vacation ❤️

The experience onboard Katarina was personable, and fun, The crew knew us by name almost immediately. They were attentive, caring, easy going, fun and kind. The boat was well laid out, and when we were able, the swim stops were a highlight. The Captains dinner was an opportunity for us to celebrate our time on the water, and it did not disappoint. Ivan hired a live band, and we danced through each course at dinner, through until the end!

We just finished this 7 day cruise Split to Dubrovnik. Stormy weather on Day 1 forced some itinerary changes but the sun soon came out and all was plain sailing. Visited Hvar Korcula Mljet Sipan and Dubrovnik. Relaxed mornings with swim stops in isolated coves, 3 course delicious meals at lunch. In the afternoon and evening wine tasting and on shore dinners. We learnt a lot about Croatian wines and local life on the islands. Friendly crew , personable host Vin and the wonderful chef made for a very pleasant cruise.. Our upper deck accommodation was clean and comfortable. We'd recommend this cruise, suitable for 40s to 80s!
- Carole , 14/10/2025 12:34, Travelled in a Couple
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!
- Derek, 14/10/2025 11:37, Travelled with Friend/s
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. Thanks Sail Croatia!!
- Robert, 14/10/2025 09:45, Travelled with Friend/s
Sailing every day to a different island was a wonderful introduction to the history past and present of Croatia. Sail Croatia selected great swim spots as well as interesting islands to explore. The food on and off the boat was delicious . The crew and guide were outstanding
- Margaret, 14/10/2025 08:55,
Exactly as was described. Friendly staff, very clean staterooms and boat overall. Food was good and plentiful and presented nicely. Breakfast each day was buffet and lunch served. Salad available everyday. Coffee and teas available 24/7. Enjoyable week. Islands were very pretty..
- Kathy, 14/10/2025 08:34, Travelled in a Couple
The sights were incredible, the crew was attentive and kind, the food was delicious. I never felt rushed or crowded on this trip. We had a weather hiccup and Ivan, our incredible guide, made up for it with an additional experience at the end of the trip. I felt safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend this trip and company to anyone looking for a way to see Croatia. Big thanks to Ivan and Pamila and the entire team on the Queen J!
- Darren, 14/10/2025 07:11, Travelled with Friend/s
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.
- Mary, 13/10/2025 14:05, Travelled with Family
MV Katarina was excellent! Every aspect of the cruise was well thought through and enjoyable. The meals on-board were first class - plentiful amount of food that was tasty, beautifully presented and with good variety. The staff on board were friendly, helpful and provided impeccable service (particularly the wait/bar-staff). The cabin and bathroom were a good size and super clean, and the shower spacious with good water pressure and hot-water. The boat itself is kept immaculately clean and felt new with plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the scenery. The itinerary was great and provided a good balance between time for sightseeing and relaxing, with a variety of activities and tours on offer. I particularly enjoyed the swim stops in secluded bays. Special thanks to our cruise director Ioana who communicated well, was helpful and organised. I thoroughly recommend Sail Croatia (who were great at communication before the cruise) and MV Katerina.
- Elizabeth, 13/10/2025 03:48, Travelled in a Couple
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
- Peter, 12/10/2025 05:57, Travelled with Friend/s
The boat Katarina is beautiful! The rooms are large, with AC, a full bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. The captain and crew went above and beyond, and the kitchen staff turned out amazing meals, including handling the special dietary needs of my wife and other travelers. Ioana, our cruise director, did an amazing job of keeping us both up to date on activities and destinations to come, managing off and on boat activities, dinners, and othera fantastic job of keeping everyone as happy as can be. I wish we could take her along to manage every vacation. I was a bit disappointed that so many of the off boat activities revolved around drinking (numerous wine tastings and a gin tasting.) Neither I nor my wife drink, so was not really something we could enjoy with others on the cruise. That said, the small number of people on the boat did let us get to know the others, meeting everyone was a pleasure. I would gladly take another cruise with Sail Croatia, and especially on this boat.

It was evident from the start that this was a cruise on a well maintained ship that was in family ownership - with family serving as captain and bar tender. The whole crew were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We were treated to great food and swim stops were arranged in a safe environment. Tours were expertly arranged. It was a very memorable experience

What was so great about the boat cruise the amazing crew including Vicko and the Captain! Followed closely by the fun loving passengers! 10 out of 10 for Vicko’s knowledge, humour and happy friendly nature. I thought the Californians and Brit’s were an awesome bunch of fun loving people. A big thumbs up 👍 for Sail Croatia💖💫
- Maria, 09/10/2025 14:24, Travelled with Friend/s
Our tour manager Klara was brilliant from start to finish, always making sure we knew the itinerary each day and when the weather changed plans suddenly Klara sorted something else straight away. The ship was clean and the perfect size for us ( 38 guests) and we made some lovely new friends. Croatia is stunning although the wind was cold. Each wine bar was welcoming for our wine tasting and all provided snacks too. I would highly recommend this cruise.
- Helen, 08/10/2025 13:51,

My husband and I had a wonderful experience on the Olimp. The crew on the boat was professional, considerate, and hard working. The ship itself was kept fastidious and our meals were delicious. Vedran our coordinator and guide was fabulous. He is knowledgeable, clear and always ready to answer any question. He made sure everyone was well taken care of. You need to clone him!

From the very beginning our time upon the Katarina was wonderful. Ioana arranged excursions beautifully and was very flexible with everyone. We met so many nice people on board and feel like we all got along very well. The rooms were spacious and the showers hot with great water pressure and comfortable beds. The crew is amazing. It is a family business and it feels like it. They all work together to make the stay extra special. There is not a speck of dirt on this boat. They are always cleaning- even saw the captain out cleaning . The food is good. Breakfast and lunches are included and very filling. Almost too much food in fact! I hated to be wasteful but dinner was large portions. The drinks are great and the bar staff was also wonderful. From beginning to end it was a fantastic trip and I would very much do it all over again!

We had a lovely time with Sail Croatia. The level of service was excellent! Food was well prepared each day. Our host Vicko was amazing...full of knowledge, humor, great recommendations and favor in each stop along the way. Made us dinner and excursion reservations in each of our stops.

This trip was organised by my wife,Tracy, having never cruised before my expectations were low, however from the time we arrived on the boat to the time we left the experience was exceeded. We meet 36 people who we had never met before from America, Canada, Barbados and the UK, we had so much fun. The ship’s crew were fun and worked hard to make sure we enjoyed our time onboard. Croatia is a beautiful country and the people we have met have been fantastic. Would we do it again -YES.
