Queen Jelena Explorer Cruise

An unforgettable experience. The boat was immaculate, and the cabins, complete with private ensuites, were comfortable and well maintained. The staff were amazing, and the delicious three-course meals served every day were definitely a highlight. The food was consistently excellent, and the crew went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. One of the best parts of the trip was the wonderful group of fellow guests, along with the outstanding crew. Our cruise guide, Dino, was exceptional. He was friendly, approachable, and genuinely cared about making sure every guest had the best possible experience. He took the time to understand what my partner and I enjoyed and recommended excursions that suited us perfectly. Beyond the cruise itself, Dino shared fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, bars, and hidden gems in every town we visited, helping us experience Croatia like a local. He is a real asset to Sail Croatia, his passion and pride for his country shone through

The best week!

I traveled with my partner on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise and we could not have asked for a better experience! Such an amazing way to see the Croatian coastline with a variety of excursions available. Our crew and tour manager were so accommodating and personable! The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. I could not recommend Sail Croatia enough!

Columbo Review

We travelled on the Columbo boat from Dubrovnik to Split. It was a very clean and comfortable boat with the most amazing staff. We absolutely loved our tour guide Nour. She was so lovely and helpful!

A Perfect Holiday

We were sailing on Olimp - what a gorgeous, luxurious ship. Everything was amazing-the cabins, the food, the crew. It was a fabulous way to see the islands, and as there were only 14 of us on the boat, we had made some great friends. And Linda deserves a special mention as she makes the best Aperol Spritz! We were thoroughly spoilt for the whole week.

A wonderful holiday

Our holiday was fantastic. The Olimp is a beautiful ship, designed with every comfort in mind. We were only a small group of passengers on our cruise, 14 in total so there was plenty of choice of where to relax during sea time. Food was delicious with a buffet breakfast full of choice and lunch also delicious. Allergies were well taken care of. We stopped for a swim stop each day and captain Jurges made sure he picked the best spots. Each afternoon we berthed up in port and were free to explore beautiful towns. Having been prepared by our tour operator Lola we knew the best places to go and what to see. Included in our cruise were some guided tours and a dinner in a vineyard as well as a delicious captains dinner one evening. Our cabins were comfortable and were serviced every morning while we were at breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff, Linda and Ally, and all the deck staff also. Great friendships and wonderful memories were made.

The ultimate in relaxation and tour

The Split to Dubrovnik experience was one of the best trips I have ever taken. The yacht was exceptional and the group size was perfect. The days were well spent with swim stops and then a new island each day, it couldn’t have been more relaxed and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

- Anthony, 14/07/2026 00:47, Travelled in a Couple

A well thought out itinerary

It was a great cruise with a good balance of things to do, along with plenty of down time. . Our group was excellent as were the staff and our tour guide. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Toma the sickest of them all

Honestly had the best time - besides having the flu now it was all totally worth it 😂 Toma was so accommodating and he could have a good laugh with us always! Would definitely sail with him again

- Bonnie, 13/07/2026 13:36, Travelled in a Couple

Toma my fav captain

Absolutely insane! This is my second trip on flotilla. Loved it just as much as the first time - Toma was an amazing captain and loved that he wasn’t annoyed at me asking so many questions and to help do anything on the boat. Was very patient and very helpful we had so much fun joking around and being serious when needed it Top captain

Top Notch Experience

This was our first cruise and the bar has been set very high as a result! .Everything about the week was perfect. Anita was a very attentive and kind Tour Manager and went over and above to ensure we had everything we needed all week. Our captain Ivan made for a smooth sail and found the best swim spots and the dining was amazing. Silvija and Dada made creative and delicious meals. The rest of the crew- Josipa, Tony, Ante, Marko and Tea all provided excellent service and elevated the cruise experience. Overall the Sail Croatia experience exceeded all our expectations and was one of the most memorable vacations we have ever had. The Croatian coastline and Islands are stunning and I would highly recommended this trip! I hope to return one day! Thank you!

Salve Di Mare

This was one the best holiday I have ever been on. My fellow passengers, the crew and the boat will forever hold a special place in my heart. If you are reading this review - look no further - book it ! Scott 36 Kara 35

- Scott, 13/07/2026 10:12, Travelled in a Couple

Best holiday ever!

From the start the crew were extremely welcoming and helpful. The boat was immaculate and stylish, the cabin was spacious and comfortable. We were not disturbed by noise from the boat or other people. Nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary worked really well, there was enough down time to relax, sunbathe and swim. The excursions added a fun dynamic to the trip and were mostly fun and exciting. We did cycling, kayaking, wine tasting, zip lining (the best!!) plus plenty of time to explore the beautiful Croatian towns which I hadn’t expected to be so charming. There was plenty of choice of restaurants and bars and our crew gave us recommendations on where to eat , even making reservations for us. The food on board was delicious, make sure you advise about dietary restrictions at the time if booking so that they can plan ahead for you. We were extremely lucky that the people on board were fantastic. We all bonded really well which made the experience very special…… a cruise family!!

Best week ever!

Amazing itenerary for a week on the Dalmatian coast, could not ask for anything better.

- Joe, 11/07/2026 12:38, Travelled in a Couple

Perfection!!

One of the best holidays ever!! Everything about our week aboard the Olimp with Sail Croatia was outstanding!! The Olimp boat itself is incredible, impeccably clean, luxurious yet a relaxed vibe. Loved the stylish top deck lounge/spa area! Also loved the unique lowering platform at the rear into the turquoise waters where we had our daily swim stops, SUPs, snorkelling etc. The 3 course meals were all delicious and different each day- kudos to our chef! All the service staff were so attentive, with a genuinely happy demeanour and very professional. Our tour director Vicko with his positive energy was very informative providing briefings every morning on the upcoming day's port features and activity options. All of the activities optional or included were fabulous, Our cruise was in June, so awesome weather! It was our first time to Croatia which we absolutely loved and I couldn't recommend highly enough, a Sail Croatia cruise aboard the Olimp! It exceeded all our expectations!

Amazing experience

We sailed on the Contessa. The ship and crew were amazing. Our room was comfortable and more spacious than we had anticipated. The entire ship was spotless. The breakfast buffet always provided a nice variety of choices. The lunch menu changed each day and every meal was delicious. Tour manager Nickos gave us great information each day and worked hard to make sure all guests enjoyed each port. Bartenders Martin and Nino kept us well hydrated and were a lot of fun. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Contessa

Swimming stops were fantastic

Great small boat experience with swimming stops, and small town adventures lead by a wonderful leader Klara. She was super helpful and guided us to lots of fun. Really liked eating out at restaurants almost every evening. Really liked the food onboard and especially appreciated getting Gluten Free food which I needed. The staff onboard was exceptional. Highly reccommend.

- Susan, 09/07/2026 18:02, Travelled in a Couple

Perfection

No exaggeration- probably the best week of my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew and staff on board. Everyone was really friendly and the room conditions were superb. Our Rep Lara is super helpful and friendly, she made the week so much more fun. She has heaps of great recommendations and a lot of knowledge on the areas/islands we visit. 11/10 best week/ best crew/ best staff ever :))

Fabulous Croatian cruise

Our cruise with Sail Croatia from Split to some of the northern towns and islands was fabulous. The crew were very friendly and helpful, as was our Rep, Ivan. Our cabin was very clean as was all the boat. The food was excellent too. Highly recommended.

Esperanza

My husband and I chose sail croatia to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We were welcomed warmly by Sanja our cruise director. From the minute we walked on board we felt like a family. The crew was so welcoming and the boat was beautiful. Sanja was most pleasant and attentive throughout the cruise. Vlad our chef for the week outdone himself. The food was outstanding. The bartenders were also so pleasant. Our group bonded like a family and spent multiple days and nights together. The pace of the cruise was perfect. The choice of islands and suggested activities were amazing. By the end of the week we were so sad to leave our sail Croatia family. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to relax, is up for an adventure and wants to meet new friends. Also, request Sanja as your sail Croatia guide. Thanks, Sarah and Dan Link

Amazing experience

This was our first holiday with Sail Croatia, we were on an Elegance Cruise on Katarina. It was an amazing experience. The Crew couldn’t do enough for us. The food was great and Ivan our host was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the islands we sailed to. We met a fantastic group of people aboard the boat, some of which will become lifelong friends x

- Nicola, 07/07/2026 11:31, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic Trip

My husband & I had the best time onboard The Esperanza cruising from Dubrovnik to Split. We were lucky to have a small group of 14 onboard and we formed friendships quickly. The crew & tour leader, Sanja, went above & beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. I highly recommend this trip.

- kate, 07/07/2026 10:37, Travelled in a Couple

First Class Cruise

Fabulous cruise on a first class boat. The crew were exceptional. The swim stops were a definite highlight. Would suggest the lunches be a little less formal and heavy and perhaps outside on deck. We also enjoyed meeting a lovely group of people to enjoy the journey with.

- Russell, 07/07/2026 09:46, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing

The Katarina was beautiful. Staff so nice and attentive especially Ivana and Carlo. Food was exceptional. Our tour guide, Ivan had so much historical and local information. He went above and beyond to make us fulfill our dreams. Thanks again Sail Croatia and the crew of the Katarina.

- Sue, 07/07/2026 09:44, Travelled in a Couple

Cruise Katarina

We started and finished our cruise in Split. This was our second time with Sail Croatia and as our previous cruise the whole experience was absolutely superb, Lead by their Captain every member of the crew work so hard to make your trip memorable. The ship is spotlessly clean, food is excellent and every day you have wonderful friendly service. The swim stops and sites are so well selected. The week was orchestrated by our guide Ivan, who kept us so well informed about interests at our destinations and restaurant recommendations. You can’t fail but love your week on Katarina.

- Richard, 07/07/2026 07:15, Travelled in a Couple

Why would you ever want to leave

Sailing on the Ezperanza with Sail Croatia was honestly one of those trips that just felt easy in the best way. From the start, it didn’t feel like a typical tour—it felt more like being part of a group of friends all exploring together. Every day had its own rhythm, whether we were cruising through ridiculously clear water, stopping to swim in quiet little coves, or wandering through coastal towns that somehow all felt unique. And the views never got old—just endless blue water, sun, and those unreal sunsets that made you stop and take it in. What really made it stand out, though, was the vibe on the boat. The crew set the tone, and everyone just clicked. It was a mix of relaxing during the day and fun nights hanging out, laughing, and enjoying the moment. The Ezperanza ended up feeling like our home for the week, and by the end, it didn’t even feel like a trip anymore—it felt like something we didn’t want to leave.

What a great way to unwind, recharge and regroup!!

Oh Croatia - what a BEAUTIFUL country you are!! We sailed on the Almissa from Dubrovnik to Split abd then took a bus back down to Dubrovnik for our return flight home. You really couldn’t have asked for more! Food was amazing, service was outstanding and the scenery was fairytale like!!!

Sail Croatia Cycle Cruise

This trip was perfect in every way! Vacationing with a group of like-minded people was more fun than I imagined. Miranda and Ohla were the best guides, taking care of us and every detail. Croatia is stunningly beautiful, and the sail/cycle was the perfect way to see so much!

- Elizabeth, 06/07/2026 20:53, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia - Salve Di Mare

Everything was perfect with Sail Croatia, especially in Salve Di Mare, the cruises that we haved sail. The captain was a great guy, also all crew member. Josip, our tour guide, was also always very helpful and kind. Excellent food and drinks. Beautiful excursions. It was an even better experience than we could have expected.

- Davi, 06/07/2026 12:24, Travelled in a Couple

Great way to see the islands !

Very well organised from start to finish. Daily briefings, amazing rides (v easy on electric bike) and plenty of tasty food ! Cabins were quite basic but were en suite and had air-con. Plenty of time to sunbathe on deck or visit the islands. Some extra excursions and meals organised for those who wanted to but no pressure to go. All the staff were great esp our group leader Calum (& Srdan) - who had a great knowledge of the Croatian history as well as sorting any issues out throughout the week such as food preferences and general recommendations. Average age was around 60 on the boat (the Mali Luka) with a lovely bunch mainly from USA and Australia and NZ. Busy week as up early but a great way to explore the lovely islands. Water so clean and refreshing. All the towns well kept. Pebble beaches (not sand). We did Split to Dubrovnik route then had a couple of nights in hotel in Lapad (Dub) to relax. Thanks Sail Croatia for a memorable trip !

Cycling sail croatia

We have just completed cycling sail croatia week. A few recommendations for sail croatia to consider for upcoming trips, and for travellers who are considering this trip. If you are travelling as a couple you need to specify you want a double room. The food on the boat was very tasty however the orange juice in the morning could be greatly improved. They could also increase their variety of wines on board. Miranda our cycling leader was excellent and very supportive. Time spent in some of the villaages I felt was rushed, definitely wished we had a longer duration in Havar. If you enjoy an active holiday this is definitely one to consider as a way to see Croatia.

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-07-08:

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the cycling, found the food tasty, and that Miranda made such a positive impact on your trip. Regarding the bedding configuration, whilst we're unable to guarantee specific bed types on our Cycle Croatia cruises due to the varying layouts of our vessels, we absolutely welcome guests to let us know if they have a preferred bedding configuration. We do our best to accommodate these requests wherever possible; however, as ship allocations are finalised closer to departure and each vessel has its own unique cabin configuration, we are unable to guarantee them. This information is outlined on our website and within our booking information prior to travel. For guests seeking guaranteed bedding configurations, our Luxury Cycle cruises offer this option. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding the orange juice, wine selection, and the amount of time spent in some of the destinations. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Croatia in the future.

Amazing!

Couldn’t have asked for anything better! Exceeded expectations on every level.

- Cathy, 06/07/2026 06:08, Travelled in a Couple

The Best!

It is hard to imagine how our week on the Emanuel could have been any better. Miranda's leadership and Oola's kindness were a dynamic duo that allowed for memories of a lifetime. The crew was professional, courteous in every way. If you are looking for a holiday that combines activity, exercise, and a taste of the local Croatian culture, Sail Croatia is your best bet.

Miranda and Olja Are Awesome

Great time riding with Miranda, Olja and a whole new group of friends. I could keep rinsing and repeating every day.

- Marc, 06/07/2026 00:38, Travelled in a Couple

Fabulous Fun

Croatia is so beautiful and this explorer cruise was well set up to help us experience it. Klara our host was a local who kept us well informed and made all our excursions work like clockwork. The crew was great and The Contessa was newly renovated. Great experience all round.

- Pamela, 05/07/2026 23:47, Travelled in a Couple

Well-paced exploration with shipboard charm

The Esperanza was a comfortable boat with just the right amenities including a pleasant dining room with large windows, a top deck that never felt crowded, and a gracious staff. Dino, the Director, went out of his way every day to ensure everyone was comfortable and that we had all we needed. Our cabin was larger than I expected, including a full shower. The walking tours at our stops were led by local guides, several of whom were really outstanding. It was an engaging itinerary with lots of time for swim stops and relaxation. The countryside farm to table dinner was truly special. Our fellow passengers were a delight, and well-educated. I would love to take another cruise since we enjoyed this one so much.
