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.

From questions at booking right through the end of the cruise this was by far one of the best vacations we ever had.. the crew was attentive, enthusiastic and downright amazing, The itinerary was a perfect balance of activity, downtime and sightseeing. We will be back!

Overall, a very good experience. We both enjoyed our week on the Olimp, it is a beautiful ship. Our rep was amazing, he worked hard to ensure we had a good week. The food , especially lunch, was beyond exceptional. Breakfast wasn't bad but I expected some good fresh fruit options instead of canned peaches and unripe pineapple every morning. Included in the cruise price we had two really excellent wine tastings and two that were average. Having said that, we would still recommend cruising with Sail Croatia. The team really went above and beyond

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 crew was friendly, competent and informative. Each port was beautiful and had activities to help us see more of the islands. They rerouted us when weather threatened to dampen our plans. Great trip, will do again

Second time on a Sail Croatia trip and it did not disappoint. The boat was comfortable and the food was very good. Crew helpful and very friendly. The guides, Lola and Ilona, were knowledgeable, friendly and really looked after us well. Hikes were very good, places we visited beautiful and stunning views. Great company on the boat, lots of laughter. A really good week.

Loved the pace and format of the cruise. Nice blend of excursions and free time. Cruise Director was very knowledgeable and helpful. Food was excellent at all meals. I do recommend having the option of pancakes, crepes and waffles for breakfast at least once a week. Crew did an excellent job of accommodating my food allergy. I definitely recommend this tour.

Sail Croatia Elegance Cruise on Olimp - wow! We had high expectations but even they were exceeded! The ship was immaculate, cleaned and polished daily. All the areas were as shown and even better in person. We enjoyed the various spaces on the ship at different times. Our Tour Guide V (Vedran) was so helpful, joyful and always smiling - he made the cruise so much fun and we had lots of laughs together! Captain George (Jure) and all the crew were so sweet, kind and caring - doing a fabulous job of looking after us all. The buffet breakfast had everything you could possibly want on offer. The daily three course lunch (and four course Captain’s Dinner!) were all beautiful in presentation, variety and taste. All ports visited were great. We were lucky to be blessed with perfect weather and also a wonderful group of passengers. We could not want for anything more, thank you!

Our friendly crew and guide (Klara) were friendly, fun, and very helpful the entire trip. Our chef spoiled us with fantastic meals. The ship was spotlessly clean the whole time. We loved the swim stops! We enjoyed each island.
- Kaori , 12/05/2025 18:38, Travelled in a Couple
The 10 day cruise was good . Cons: I did find it quite repetitive. For me personally, I have learned a 3-5 day (maximum) sail would suit me it was the same pattern every day & I found some days we got into port too late to explore more. It seemed the emphasis was on the swim stops., another Con was the food . Breakfast was fine . There were no options for lunch . It was a 3 course meal served at 1 pm which made for very late suppers on shore . I wish they would have had 2 options ie chicken or pasta . I don’t eat pasta so was starving 2 of the days . Pros: the staff are fantastic . Considering they work 7 days a week & then repeat with the next tour they were very helpful , upbeat & enjoyable . The tour coordinator Klara was terrific , positive , informed & very helpful . The boat was in excellent condition and clean . I felt very safe on it . The life jackets & muster areas were reviewed however I was never sure if there was an AED on board , which would be Important .

Our trip with Sail Croatia was nothing short of spectacular. From breathtaking scenery to unforgettable swims in crystal-clear waters, the entire journey was filled with adventure, good vibes, and new friendships. A huge part of what made our experience so incredible was Klara, who led our island tours and adventures with infectious energy. Charismatic, charming, and full of local knowledge, Klara brought each destination to life. Her passion for the islands and her ability to engage and energize the group was unmatched – we felt lucky to have her guiding us. That said, a note to future travellers: know what kind of trip you're booking. This style of sailing trip brings together people from all walks of life, and it's important to understand that you're joining a shared space on board. Some passengers seemed surprised by the format, but that's not on the crew – it's about reading the itinerary and knowing what kind of experience you're signing up for.

The guides were entertaining and fun, the ride itself was doable for anyone with a bit of biking, the food was excellent, and Croatia was stunning at every turn! Our fellow travelers were truly an amazing group — all positive and great fun! I’m trying to talk friends into going. With multiple routes available I might just join them!!
- Betsy, 12/05/2025 05:18, Travelled in a Couple
Crew where very great, friendly and profesional. The bike rides where very organised and beautiful. The E bikes where in very good condition and what i like mosted is that those where safe to ride. Tonka and Anita did a great job of keeping us safe and together.

Our wine cruise wasn't full so maybe we benefitted from some extra attention but the crew were really friendly and helpful. Our lower deck cabin was quiet but bright and although storage was a little limited worked fine for us. Lunch was varied and excellent, although sometimes a three course lunch was a little early in the day. The wine tastings in Stari Grad and Milna were our favourites, and the excursion on Vis was fascinating. Swim stops were fun, although the water was still pretty cold at the end of April/early May. The islands and coastline are spectacular and the cruise was so relaxing and I would definitely consider booking again in the future.

The Sail Croatia itinerary and guides were top notch. There was a fun plan touring our daily destination by bike, with lots of free time. Our guides were so helpful and informative of local culture, history and dining experiences. The boat was clean & luxurious. The onboard meals were fantastic, staff were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Sail Croatia, I will be returning for another adventure!

My third time with sail Croatia. Best boat. Best crew. Best guides, and by far the best FOOD. The cook was so much better than the other ships I was on. Big compliments to the chef!!! Well done.

Awesome trip What an amazing time we had on Emanuel with 29 on board. Our guides Josko and Ana were brilliant and passionate about their country and history which was shared with us at stops along the way. Great crew and Ben our waiter/bar tender is an amazing young man who worked non stop to make sure everyone was fed and watered. The meals George produced were great. The whole trip was amazing, E-bikes the best, cycling the islands an experience not to be missed and great company of the other 27 passengers. This trip is up there as one of the better holidays we have had. We'll certainly recommend it to others. Thanks for a memorable holiday.
- Tony and Anne, 06/05/2025 15:35, Travelled in a Couple
The crew on MS Emanuel were fantastic. The captain owns the boats d you can really tell in the way he personally runs the ship as well as in the crew he has hired. Perhaps even more notable were our guides. Our lead guide, Jobsko was really great. You can feel his leadership from the first time he speaks to address the group. He was great at the cycle route planning and nimble execution to respond to issues along the route. He always had everyone’s safety and comfort top of mind. He explained everything clearly and answered all questions until everyone was clear and ready. Josip was also paired with a second guide who is working her way up. It was great to see him mentoring her and giving her the opportunity to lead and get the experience and confidence she needs to move up. As a team the entire crew a d guides worked well together and with all needed communications to ensure the guests had the best trip possible. M

Our Cycling Croatia Cruise with Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations from the quality of the boat and bikes, the professional staff and our exceptional guides. Tonka was our lead and her communication and preparedness made each of our rides enjoyable and rewarding. We had fun, laughs and met so many wonderful people, it could not have been better. Thank you for the memorable experience.
- Sheila, 06/05/2025 01:38, Travelled in a Couple
Tour guides Tonka and Anita made this the best tour I’ve ever been on. They truly care about making it the Magical experience it was. My daughter and I had a wonderful time. I recommend this biking tour to anyone. Thank you for the memories!! Susan
- Susan, 05/05/2025 12:57, Travelled with Family
Firstly Josko and Ana created a fun, informative, considerate and expertly supported experience. We felt extremely secure in their leadership. Secondly the whole group were inclusive, fun and we very quickly felt like we had known each other forever. Thirdly the Captain Ante and crew who were all so friendly and helpful, made sure our holiday was smooth and comfortable, with lots of swim stops and perfect timing. And finally the scenery, rides,and weather were all breathtaking ( literally as I was on an analogue bike !!) A truly life changing experience - would definately recommend . Thank you .

The cycle experience was amazing. Great bikes, easy to use, even for late 60 year olds relatively new to ebikes. Each day was another 'wow' experience. Josko and Ana great tour guides who each day explained what could expect the following day and also during the cycle. The islands were fantastic, not too busy in mid April, weather for us was brilliant..21-33 each day and fine Our negatives were beds not very comfortable. The food was varied some great, some not so,

We were lucky with two things: first there were only seven of us on our cruise which made it feel like a group of old friends. Second was our tour guide Dino. Always happy. Very informative and could not have been more helpful. He was the main reason for our highly successful cruise.

The beautiful ship Olimp, the crew and best of all our guide Dino. He was our ideal guide, friendly, knowledgeable, fantastic sense of humour, always there for us. The places we docked Dino was there always to provide all the places we wanted to see and eat. Sail Croatia gave us the best holiday of our lives in a very beautiful country. Thankyou.

The yacht is beautiful, the staff amazing, food, delicious, well organized, great cruise director, Dino, all islands we stopped in, were beautiful, and Dino insured that we saw and did everything we should do and each and every stop. Dino kept us well informed, and was such a pleasure to travel with. All of the crew on the Olympic were a pleasure to travel with

Our week aboard the Salve Di Mare with Sail Croatia was nothing short of amazing! Every stop was perfectly chosen, offering the ideal balance of rich history, relaxing coastal vibes, and absolutely stunning scenery. As the first cruise of the season, it was wonderfully peaceful — the towns were quiet but still full of charm, giving us a chance to enjoy Croatia without the usual crowds. The ship itself was stunning: modern, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The crew were incredibly helpful, friendly, and truly made us feel like part of one big family. Special mention goes to our guide, Anita, who was simply next-level amazing. Her passion and deep knowledge of Croatian history made every moment memorable. She went above and beyond to ensure we experienced the very best Croatia has to offer, and by the end, it felt like we had known her forever. If you're considering this trip, my one tip would be to fly/start in Split and fly/finish out of Dubrovnik with a few nights in each.
- Chelsea, 28/04/2025 09:03, Travelled with Family
The itinerary was excellent as was the cycling with great scenic routes that allowed us to see parts of the country we would not otherwise have done. The weather and amazing group of people were the icing on the cake. What was less good was the interstaff bickering which at times bordered on unprofessional and was making some guests feel a little uncomfortable Finally it should be stressed to guests to absolutely not jump from the top deck which is slippy and one guest really badly bruised herself in slipping off
- Anne, 28/04/2025 06:33, Travelled in a Couple
Hi Anne, thank you for your 4-star review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the itinerary, scenic cycling routes, and the great group atmosphere—it’s wonderful to know these made your experience special. We’re sorry to hear that some onboard interactions made you feel uncomfortable. While the crew onboard were newly formed and still finding their rhythm, we agree professionalism must always be maintained, and we will share this with the relevant teams. Regarding the safety concern, we appreciate you highlighting it. Our onboard representative does cover this during the welcome briefing, and signage is visible and in place on the top deck. Thank you again for your helpful review.
The crew on our boat was amazing. It was our very first cruise of any kind. We ran into some nasty weather and they did their best to make the best of the situation. Our shower door, however, would not stay closed during the rough seas and it kept banging against the wall and we were afraid the glass would break. We finally put suitcases in front to hold it still. My only “complaint” would be that we were told we needed to be off the ship at 9 in the morning. Our flight was not until afternoon and it being Easter.. all the luggage storage places were closed. A number of people were allowed to stay on until 10:30 and that would have make a huge difference for us. We would have eaten a much bigger breakfast instead of thinking we could find a decent breakfast in town while toting our suitcases. However.. This was the only down side . I would highly recommend this company as the overall experience was wonderful. We had a great crew and fellow passengers.
