Great Elegance Cruise

Everyone on the ship’s staff was amazing. Our fellow guests were friendly and of course the island visits were beautiful.

Melinda and Tom Stoker

This was one of the most beautiful and relaxing vacations we've had in years. Staff was AWESOME. We were amazed that the chef managed to serve such high quality food each day to this group, and our guide Ioana was absolutely delightful! Everyone is attentive, professional, kind. My friend scraped her knee on an excursion and the captain provided bandages, etc. The included walking tours are well worth it, and there was just the right amount of structured vs unstructured time where we could do our own exploring, or just relax. The southern cruse (that goes from Split to Dubrovnik and back not only has gorgeous scenery but also a wonderful historical, cultural, and architectural overview of the area. Croatia has been strategically significant since pre-Greek times and there are many influences you can see in the architecture - which is beautiful and fascinating!

The only way to “sail” Croatia!

Sail Croatia is dedicated to making sure that everyone is taken care of in every way possible. The cabin accommodations are excellent; the tour director and the entire crew were all very attentive and professional; the breakfast and lunches very tasty and plentiful! Whoever thought having a 3 course lunch with wine is the perfect way to begin an afternoon of relaxation on the sun deck! That is, unless you're going out on an excursion or a walk through the various towns on the beautiful islands. We highly recommend Sail Croatia!

First time cruisers

We enjoyed having a relatively small group of fellow travellers being 36 in total from Australia, Canada, South Africa, UK and USA. Our cabin was comfortable although the quality in pillows and towels was poor. The chef and catering staff did a magnificent job with meal preparation it’s was always delicious The dining saloon however was very noisy during meal times and made conversation difficult The islands/towns visited all had something different to enjoy and we soon chose our favourites. The staff were all friendly and courteous and the boat comfortable and in good condition .We were disappointed that smoking was allowed in the inside deck area which was enclosed with plastic coverings. and attached to the dining saloon. This was especially unpleasant and meant many of us could not utilise this area. This issue was reported to the staff however we felt the resolution unsatisfactory. Regardless of these issues we did enjoy the experience and had a lot of laughs.

Outstanding Value

There were only 13 passengers on our trip. It felt like we wete very special. The meals were great and the excursions unique. We will sail again.

Our 40th wedding anniversary

The crew our tour representative Vicko the personal touch. We only had 16 guests on our boat. The food was 👏 amazing. I loved all the islands and villages we visited. Vicko recommended certain trips and each one was a great experience. Vicko energy and knowledge and enthusiasm was brilliant. I have been recommending sail Croatia to all my friends and family. It was a truly memorable 40th anniversary trip. We will most definitely sail with sail Croatia again. Do more islands. Wish I was back on board now. We also made new friends who since we left have been messaging which is lovely. This is because it was a small intimate group and vicko encouraged mixing together at breakfast and lunch. I loved when we all hired bikes and cycled together around the national park. Well done to our captain the crew and our amazing tour guide Vicko. I hope to meet you all again. Thank you sail Croatia your service is excellent.

Small group and good times

It was great to be part of a small group of travellers who all had similar interests and spoke English as our first language. I like how breakfast and lunch were provided. The food was well prepared and fresh. It was also nice to have the bar option. The room was a good size and the daily room cleaning service was appreciated. It would have been nice to have a laundry service. Another trip we recently took offered one small load of laundry for the week. I also appreciated the swimming stops. I noticed the other boats around us had snorkels and fins and SUP boards. That would have been great too. Inflatable SUP boards don’t take up any room. Overall a great experience.

Brilliant experience

Excellent ship and crew on Olimp . We were also incredibly lucky with the weather & our fellow travellers’ company

Wine cruise May 2025 Croatia

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

- Shelley, 13/05/2025 17:17, Travelled in a Couple

Split southbound return

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.

- Sharon, 13/05/2025 05:57, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing experience - such a wonderful week!

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!

Wine cruise

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.

Dinos special seven

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.

Dino

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.

Only way to see Croatia

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

Good first cruise

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.

Marijana, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2025-04-25:

Hi Jan, Thank you so much for your kind 5 Star review and for choosing to travel with us on our Elegance cruise! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience and that you'd recommend Sail Croatia to others — that means the world to us. We really appreciate your feedback regarding the check-out time. We do ask guests to disembark by 9am to allow our crew time to prepare for the next arrivals at 11am, we completely understand that an early start can be a bit of a challenge, especially after a relaxing week on board. We'll continue to ensure this process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon for another unforgettable adventure!

Exciting way to explore the Dalmatian Islands!

Beautiful boat & great crew!

Relaxing and Memorable

Our cruise was very relaxing with the right balance of activities and interaction with other guests. We really loved the swim stops each day and the meals were of premium quality and presentation. There was plenty of space on the boat, Esperanza, to feel like you could have some privacy and then interact when we wanted to. We would recommend the cruise and we had a great time., the crew was very helpful and friendly.

Olimp

We had the best time on the Olimp especially having a great tour guide, Ionna. The only thing I would have liked changed was to have coffee and tea readily available. Thanks for a wonderful holiday and very memorable.

- Anne, 22/10/2024 06:29, Travelled in a Couple

A wonderful experience along the Dalmatian Coast.

We went on the 7 day wine cruise, where we got to experience different Croatian wines and a different island every day. The food was fantastic and every meal was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the daily swim stops and the whole cultural experience. The rooms were spacious and we had our own ensuite. We both thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would definitely recommend this as an enjoyable, relaxing and culturally holiday experience.

The highlight of our six week holiday!

The Elegance cruise aboard the Olimp was such a delight! The holiday was effortless and the onboard food an absolute standout. Our tour guide was very entertaining, helpful and always available. The swim stops were a highlight for me. The cabin was roomy and the Olimp is beautifully maintained by a committed crew. I’d go again in a heartbeat!

Elegance Cruise on Olimp

My husband and myself signed up for this cruise with 5 other friends and we had a fantastic time. The Olimp is very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The crew was awesome- Ioana was an organized and fun cruise director who kept us informed and provided great recs for each stop of our cruise. This was our first time on a cruise and we found that the size of the ship and number of guests was just perfect. We enjoyed getting to know other guests on the cruise. Sail Croatia did an excellent job of communicating before the cruise as well.

What A Perfect Week!!!

This was a trip we had anticipated and looked forward to for almost a year. Traveling with lifetime friends, this was the last week of a 3 week Croatian experience. The ship Esperanza was lovely and so well maintained. Our cabins were adequate and spacious as ships go. The beds were great!!! Our crew and cruise director Ivana could not have been more helpful. The daily briefings ,and restaurant recommendations prior to making port were so helpful and much appreciated . It was everything we hoped and more.

- Mary, 16/10/2024 12:39, Travelled in a Couple

Highly recommend

I had a great experience on Sail Croatia. Nothing but praise for our cruise director Klara and the rest of the team. Will be going home and recommending it to all my friends.

- Susan, 16/10/2024 04:09, Travelled in a Couple

Exceeded all expectations

The Olimp was a beautiful ship with a warm and professional crew. The other passengers also helped make the experience fun and memorable. Top the vacation off with the stunningly beautiful country of Croatia and the friendly people and you have a magical combination. We enjoyed seeing ports that the large cruise ships do not get to stop. We loved that there were only 36 passengers on the Olimp, and we got to know all of our shipmates. Airport transports were seamless! Accommodations, meals, and service were all superb. We felt safe and well cared for, so that all our focus was on enjoying the time on the ship and in the various ports. We would definitely book again with Sail Croatia.

Lovely wine cruise on Queen Julena

The wine tours were fabulous, staff and service and the cruise director, Karla, were all wonderful. The meals were delicious! The excursions were great, except for the wine dinner in Korcula ( too crowded, and food quality was poor). Areas needing improvement: fly swatters for each cabin( (we had a fly in our room the entire time). A better coffee machine ( coffee was terrible),, and two keys per room are needed.

- Diane, 15/10/2024 08:28, Travelled in a Couple

Did not disappoint

Had a wonderful time on Esperanza. The crew were spectacular., especially the tour director Karolina. She was very personable and accommodating. The ship was very comfortable and the food top notch! I highly recommend there services.

Excellent 7 days

Our guide Karolina was professional, well organized, friendly, always smiling, helpful. One could not ask for more! The food was very tasty and prepared with care. The entire crew was just great. Only compliments to all. We enjoyed our vacation with Sail Croatia and would recommend it to anyboby. With thanks Barbara and Piotr Boni

Exploring Croatian Island treasures

We enjoyed exploring the small islands of Croatia, each has its own character and personality. The boat had every comfort, cosy bed, proper bathroom with plenty of hot water. Breakfast had a great choice, lunch was delicious. Lots of space on top deck for sunbathing or relaxing. Very friendly staff and tour manager, who organised cycle hire in Mijet. Free time in the evenings was appreciated, to explore at your own pace.

St Louis duo

This was one of the best vacations in all of my years of traveling. Our guide, Karolina, was spectacular . The cabin was small but manageable. The food, especially lunch, was healthy and delicious. The islands were all beautiful and different.

- Debbie, 06/10/2024 11:50, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful Adventure

I can’t say enough. The boat was designed for passenger comfort, the rooms were large with nice accommodations, the crew had a warm, caring attitude, kept the boat spotless and the food was just delicious. We had a terrific time traveling from Split to Dubrovnik, very scenic islands, and calm waters. Our host, Vedran, was exceptional. He was informative with a great sense of humor. We loved our table mates from Australia and had many lively discussions about our travels. It was just so enjoyable to be on a smaller boat in such a beautiful area.

- Kathy, 30/09/2024 15:01, Travelled in a Couple

Just needs some tweaking but cruise & size was lovely with amazing ports

Breakfast hours to be extended with better coffee, too weak! Shouldn’t have to purchase at ar to get good coffee. Overall the food needs improvement, meat was overcooked & repetitive. Also need to provide water in the cabins to be readily available especially through the night. Cabins could use updating, get rid of carpeting. Also replace lumpy pillows & improve mattress. Also provide snacks outside of meal hours or to purchase at bar. Lastly Captain’s dinner is nice idea but the entertainment overtook everything & too long, people couldn’t socialize as a result of being too loud. Our cruise Director & staff were good to us

- Erin & John, 29/09/2024 18:29, Travelled in a Couple

Great Time

The olimp was outstanding and the captain was a real asset and a really nice guy ! Great crew members ! Great service from ioana who was very helpful , knowledgeable and extremely hard working in the pursuit of happy passengers A few areas that would have made the cruise better were to have water in the cabins daily and access to tea and coffee at all times ! ( for the price you have paid ) The day the ship was In Dubrovnik I think it should have docked earlier to allow more time to see the city

Waited four years for this trip as lockdown had it cancelled.

Everything about this trip was amazing. The swim stops, the food, the wonderful staff and the fantastic friends we made onboard. The Captains dinner with local entertainment and the typical Croatian dinner with wine in Stari Grad were definitely two very special experiences for us. The information we got both in person and on the WhatsApp from Mia was SO helpful and we never had to worry about our plans for the next destination. Some destinations and sailing times had to change because of the weather but we were kept well informed ahead of time so that was good. Only thing I would change if I could, the “vacuum” style hairdryer attached to the wall in the WC that had minimum drying power 🫣. Highly recommend Sail Croatia 💯.

Outstanding Holiday!

Highly professional, seemless service from Sail Croatia yet again! First class crew who all worked so hard during our trip. Excellent cruise director who went over and above to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves. Meeting such lovely engaging fellow passengers. We started out as strangers and finished up as firm friends!

Fabulous cruise on the lovely Esperanza

The ship was beautifully maintained and very comfortable. The downstairs cabin was very spacious, quiet and comfortable. The food was delicious. The staff were great. The best thing was swimming off the back of the boat in glorious bays every day. The lovely towns that we stopped at on the gorgeous Croatian coast. Vedran, our tour manager made a wonderful trip even better.
