Dino, our tour manager was lovely and very responsive to our questions and requests. He often responded within a minute and was already taking action on our request. He was very knowledgeable about each location and gave us a daily briefing. The ship was beautiful and the staff friendly. Due to rough seas the itinerary had to be changed and we did not visit Vis, but instead went to Omiš, which was a lovely town with stunning landscapes and some exciting excursion options! They handled the itinerary changes gracefully and seamlessly. I've deducted one star as there were a few quirks along the way that could have made the stay more pleasant: The ship has AC, but only when the AC is turned on as a whole, so for the first couple nights and the last night our room was a nearly unbearable 77-80°F at night, there were a couple days where housekeeping came into the room, but the room was only partially done, like 1 out of 3 beds done. All in all it was an enjoyable experience though!

Traveling with Sail Croatia was an experience that was more than " just a cruise" where you are one of hundreds or thousands on a massive ship. It wasn't perfect, but I look back on the friendships we made, the cozy feel of the ship and I'm left with special memories of our time on the Adriatic. When we arrived in Split and were faced with two massive cruise ships at port, I was so thankful for the choice we made. Dino, our cruise director, was a very relatable, friendly guy who responded quickly with our questions. The crew were all very nice! I rated it 4/5 mainly because of a few issues such as ventilation in the cabin that made it uncomfortable for a few days. Otherwise, it would be 5/5!

Sail Croatia helped make the travel process seamless from start to finish. The communication before during and after made the decision to book simple, what to do during the cruise easy and decision to rebook in the future a definite. The staff was visible hardworking and always available to assist in any way need from pouring a drink, crossing a gap or information about local culture or traditions. The cruise director Dino was the best. He not only informative and professional but also fun and engaging. He arranged activities,,helped with bookings,, transport and was there for us to resolve an unexpected inconvenience with a flat tire on a bike excursion . Whike the weather was not perfect for our cruise. Dino and the Captain worked together to avoid the difficult uncontrollable weather and locate ports with better weather and new fun activities seamlessly. This was an unforgettable experience for my daughter and I. Thank you Sail Croatia

Great size yacht with 38 passengers! We thoroughly enjoyed the swim stops followed by exploring the various ports. Anita was our lovely cruise director who was always smiling and checking in on her passengers to see how they were enjoying the cruise. The food was delicious too! Great time shared w many new friends!

We had an amazing time on our sail Croatia aboard the Almissa. The crew was amazing, very professional, always helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our time aboard was enjoyable, comfortable and safe. The food was amazing, our tour director Hana was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, the whole team worked tirelessly to ensure everybody was taken care of. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia the Almissa and its crew. Regards Joanne

We cruised on the Salve di Mare and had a great experience from start to finish! Monica in Sales was my first point of contact and she was friendly, professional and always quick to respond. A pleasure to work with! The cruise itself far exceeded our expectations, primarily because of our Tour Manager, Vicko. He was outstanding!! Not only did he keep us informed about each day's itinerary and the optional excursions, he provided rich historical context and interesting trivia as well. He is a walking textbook on Croatia - but not in a stuffy professor-like way. Everyone on board absolutely loved him! Our bartenders, Marco and Vlaho, were also very service-oriented and friendly. They did an excellent job. As for the food, it was delicious! The chefs make everything on board so each dish was fresh and tasty. Passenger-wise, there were only 40 of us so we were able to get to know one another rather quickly. I suspect that many new (life long?) friendships were formed. Thanks, Sail Croatia!
- Melissa, 16/09/2025 19:21, Travelled with Family
Our experience with Sail Croatia was phenomenal! It was one of the best trips we've ever taken - offering a nice balance of relaxation on the boat and activities on the islands. It was great to have flexibility to explore on our own (using recommendations provided if we wish) or opt in to the excursions. We enjoyed that we docked in port every night so we could stay out and enjoy the island as long as we wanted. All of the staff were so welcoming, kind, and provided top notch hospitality! We also really enjoyed meeting our fellow shipmates and actually formed some deep friendships with others on the boat, which was unexpected but made the experience that much more special. We highly recommend this cruise!

Concept was great. Yoga daily swim stops and included excursions. Food was great Although Captains dinner could have been a little more special. Maybe include a glass of wine. Also daily it would be nice to know what the lunch was, perhaps even just posted somewhere.. But overall it was a great trip and I would do it again and would highly recommend
- Anne King, 15/09/2025 06:48, Travelled with Family
The crew on the Mali Ante were absolutely exceptional. Everyone was so kind and helpful and the chef was amazing, making us the most delicious food. The tour guide Sasa was a delight, making jokes and helping everyone on the boat feel welcome and included while also giving us the information we needed about our destinations. I had an amazing time on my cruise and would definitely go again!

- Donna, 04/09/2025 11:50, Travelled with Family
Overall, trip was fantastic. Boat was beautiful, spacious and very clean. Monica and her cleaning crew did an amazing job keeping cabins clean and linen refreshed. Like fairies because we never saw her. Vsisko was a very good leader. He was knowledgeable, had attention to detail. Enjoyed his morning 10 am debriefs and historical information. Swim stops were the true highlight of our adventure. The only negative, or, suggestion I would have is on the food. Overall, the flavors were very good. However, we all wanted a green salad every once-in-awhile. Could even make a large salad with chicken or shrimp the main course. Or, grilled vegies with the main course. Did not like the lamb chops. Chicken dish and hummus salad was delicious! Crew and staff went above an beyond to create a special wedding anniversary celebration for my husband and me. Great memories and will recommend Sail Croatia.

We had never booked a holiday like this so was a little apprehensive on what to expect. I can honestly say it was amazing. This was such a great way to explore Croatia. We were travelling as a family with 3 young adult/ teenage boys. This type of holiday had the perfect balance of visiting some absolutely stunning destinations and activities such a cycling around a beautiful National Park and driving a buggy through a vineyard and across the island to a beautiful beach. We particularly enjoyed our morning swim stop in beautiful locations were you could take a leisurely swim or paddle board and some snorkelling. Our boat was beautiful ( Queen Jelena) met some great people and the staff could not have done more for us - thank you Nikos and team. Would totally recommend this holiday - you will not be disappointed!
- Evelyn, 01/09/2025 13:25, Travelled with Family
Such an easy and efficient way to see coastal Croatia. You meet lots of others on the boat, however there is plenty of time and opportunity to be by yourselves as well. The excursions are really worthwhile - we particularly enjoyed the bike ride in Mijet National Park. The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I picked the below deck cabin as I was told it was quieter, however I would recommend an above deck cabin if you can. Could not fault anything with Sail Croatia and would highly recommend.
- Shelley, 01/09/2025 09:55, Travelled with Family
The boat crew, the company, the food, wonderful swim stops and the experiences at each port. Thank you.

We specifically picked this boat for the hot tub which never worked for the entire trip. Very disappointed by this. We expected more regional dishes for lunch ie more seafood. Most meals were red meat based. The cabin bathrooms were far from clean. The floor under the sink was filthy and shower grout was in need of a cleaning. Really can’t say enough about the staff, super friendly and helpful and the itinerary was fantastic. All the stops were beautiful.
- Robin, 25/08/2025 00:40, Travelled with Family
Hi Robin, thank you for taking the time to review your cruise with us this season. I am pleased to see your kind words regarding the staff and carefully planned itinerary, it is great to read you enjoyed all of the beauty Croatia has to offer. We appreciate your more constructive feedback on the food. Red meat is very popular in Croatian cuisine, but I will pass your feedback regarding meals on board onto the relevant team. I'm sorry that the hot tub was not working during your cruise with us, Robin. Thank you for joining us this summer!
Travelled with my husband and daughters 22 & 20yrs old. Just back from a week sailing on Princeza Diana Explorer cruise, from start to finish booking and communication was stress free with Sail Croatia. The boat was lovely and clean, food was delicious. The crew members were very polite and welcoming. Our hostess was Ioana she was so much fun and very knowledgable and worked hard to organise lots of activities for us. Our fellow ship mates were just the best we had so much fun, lots of sight seeing dancing and laughing. I can’t recommend this cruise enough definitely one of our best family holidays so far Thankyou Sail Croatia.
- Jackie, 21/08/2025 11:23, Travelled with Family
What made Sail Croatia so terrific was the personalized and thoughtful care each member of the crew extended towards our well-being and peace of mind. They were generous with their time, warm and approachable, and professional in every way. They communicated well and informed us in advance of any changes in plans. They articulated the history and cultural dynamics of each region clearly (Ivana!); they served us extraordinary food; they guided the boated, docked and facilitated our comings and goings with utmost grace. Everything was clean, well organized and reasonable cost-wise. I highly recommend this way of seeing Croatia!
- Jennifer, 15/08/2025 21:00, Travelled with Family
I took my 19 year old daughter on the Esperanza Explorer cruise and it exceeded my expectations by far. The ship was beautiful, the rooms spacious, the staff fantastic and knowledgeable and the itinerary was perfect. We met a huge variety of people and had a chance to connect and make new friends due to the intimate size of the cruise. Sailing to a new swim spot each morning was the BEST way to start the day, Follow that with a superb lunch and just the right amount of education on the next ports history and things to do and then we were off to explore, wine taste, kayak, hike, shop or just hang at the beach. I think this is the best way to see some of the amazing smaller islands of Croatia with the comfort of not packing and unpacking. Highly recommend Sail Croatia.
- Channing, 13/08/2025 07:15, Travelled with Family
The entire cruise was just beautiful. From the greeting, the food, the cleanliness and especially the service! Top notch in all areas. A must do if you want to visit the islands of Croatia. The cruise director was great in giving a run down of the next port and excursions. We just signed up and showed up! The company provided the transportation to the excursions if necessary! Truly an awesome experience!

The entire crew made this trip special. Dino was so helpful with a full list of suggestions, location and all the information needed. The bartender/servers were so friendly and always hade huge smiles. Christina and Cesar are just fabulous. The boat crew and Captain were also so professional and made us feel right at home.

Thank you so much to the Sail Croatia team! Vic and his colleagues were fantastic - friendly, informative, accommodating, and always available. Regarding the food, Inow realize I should have been a little more specific on my preferences, as a vegetarian. Very heavy on the carbohydrates including bread and pasta, which we had for lunch several days. I would love salads and fresh vegetables/greens with meals. All in all this trip was fantastic. So pleased with the experience, and would definitely consider doing it again.
- Kathy, 11/08/2025 13:09, Travelled with Family
I have done many cruises, this was by far one of the best. The crew and our Tour director Dino made it very enjoyable. Dino was extremely organized in setting up each stop and excursions. Was very informative regarding dinner and even went a step above making reservations. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

My sister and I had an incredible trip on the Tempera from August 2-9, 2025, exploring Sale, Croatia. The experience was truly stellar, thanks to the phenomenal crew and captain. They created a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere that felt like a floating home. Our tour guide, Vicko, was a highlight. His knowledge brought Croatia's history and culture to life. With just 25 guests, the intimate setting fostered quick friendships for all aboard. We shared meals, laughs, and adventures, making lasting connections. This trip perfectly blended relaxation and adventure! We loved every moment and highly recommend this unique cruise to anyone seeking a memorable Croatian experience. A huge thank you to the crew and especially Vicko for a trip of a lifetime!

We have just returned from a week on Almissa, having been on the same ship 3 years previously, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We loved everything about our cruise and were lucky to find a great group of like minded travellers on board who were brilliant company and very friendly. Almissa has an amazing crew, a captain who was very present and easy to chat to and hardworking, fun bar and serving staff. Klara was a fantastic guide with her humour, knowledge and helpfulness, she really made everything go seamlessly and was a lot of fun. Everyone worked hard and couldn’t do enough for us. We felt that the food was better this time than 3 years ago, so well done to the kitchen staff. We enjoyed all the beautiful towns and looked forward to the daily swim stops. We would have no hesitation in recommending this cruise and may even try another week with Sail Croatia in the future.
- Julie, 25/07/2025 19:28, Travelled with Family
From the moment we stepped on the boat to the moment we departed we received excellent care from our Tempera cruise manager Nikos and his team. Nikos and his team were warm friendly and attentive to our every need. Nikos kept us informed via the WhatsApp group chat and daily announcements and did a fantastic job of coordinating all of the fun and interesting activities. The food which included daily breakfast and lunch were delicious. I also really enjoyed the fact that it was a smaller boat with about 35 guests. We really enjoyed meeting and getting to know our lovely fellow guests from around the world and it was fun to interact with them all during the various activities that were organized on our various stops and to run into them while out and about on the islands. Another thing that I really liked was being able to visit several amazing and beautiful places in a week without needing to pack and unpack between stops. This was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it.

My partner and I booked onto this trip to Croatia to join family who had already booked on. We all enjoyed a fantastic holiday and had a wonderful time away. Our experience on Almissa was first class - a wonderful ship with excellent facilities, friendly and hardworking crew members, and tasty onboard meals. There is nothing we would have changed, everything was great, and we have already recommended this trip to friends as the best way to visit Croatia. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for a fabulous holiday and wonderful memories!

This was hands down one of the best trips we’ve taken in years. There are so many things we loved about our experience but three things single handedly took first prize. 1. Our Sail Croatia guide Vicko was BRILLIANT!! His daily pre departure talks gave us so much rich context about the places we were going that elevated each days destination and he worked tirelessly to ensure all excursions were booked ahead of time and dinner reservations were made. Vicko is THE reason we will definitely be booking with Sail Croatia again! 2. The ship and crew- beautiful clean accommodation and the most amazing, welcoming, accommodating crew! It was really cool to get to know the captain too who was so welcoming and accommodating. 3. The food was just spectacular!! We really appreciated the opportunity to try so many traditional dishes while on the boat. We also loved the wine list which allowed us to try so many different Croatian wines over the course of the trip.

An unforgettable way to see the Croatian Islands. The crew was incredibly kind and attentive, the three-course lunches were consistently delicious, and the passengers felt like instant friends—making every stop even more special. This trip set the bar high for future travels! x

We just returned from a week on the Tempera from Dubrovnik to Split. I cannot wait to tell all my friends in the US about Sail Croatia. The boat was very comfortable with plenty of common area space. What really made our trip special was the CREW on the Tempera. Anything we needed or requested was addressed immediately. The food was amazing and the chefs were great. The bartenders Max & Milan, were so friendly and always handled my special drink requests with a smile. Toma was great making sure we didn’t drown at the swim stops. They were all fun to talk to and went above and beyond to make sure we were all taken care of in every way. Finally Nicos our cruise director was perfection! He always gave fabulous recommendations for restaurants, excursions and also went above and beyond. He was so knowledgeable about every island and city we visited. Anything we asked him to do he did it quickly and efficiently. He is amazing at what he does! Thanks for a perfect week!

Dino, our tour guide, was amazing!! From the start of our trip right through to our departure, he was on hand with advice and support. He was knowledgeable about each of the locations and offered salient information. The rest of the boat crew were extremely friendly but remained professional at all times. We were extremely grateful for their expertise during some rough weather! I will highly recommend this trip to my friends & family.

We had an amazing time on the Explorer Cruise with Sail Croatia. The Salve Di Mare crew were exceptional – friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel like family.

Can’t recommend this cruise enough – a truly memorable way to experience Croatia!

The cabins and boat were clean and comfortable and the food exceeded expectations. Captain Josef (on Almissa) always seemed calm and nimble in his decisions to give us the best cruising experiences, finding lovely sheltered swim spots. Dino was organised and a very good communicator as cruise director. There was the right mix of passengers and activities to satisfy our grown up children and ourselves. Thanks to all the crew and to Sail Croatia!

I am 75 and took my 18-yr old grandson, so he had a wide age range to cover. Bravo to Dino and the crew for making our trip such a memorable, fun time. I'm telling everyone I know to not only visit Croatia but use Sail Croatia for their travel plans. It was the best.

All crewmembers were absolutely amazing! From Dino, to Karlo, to Nikola and the Captain, they were all super professional and fun!! The itinerary was spot on for what we wanted to do and I really appreciate the professionalism of our Captain. We were docked next to another Sail Croatia boat at one point whose Captain was very disrespectful to the noise ordinance times and, in turn, the other boats around them. The only recommendation I have is to add lounge chairs to the top level, not just the mats. Absolutely beautiful and we had a great time!

This is my second trip with Sail Croatia, I think that says enough on how amazing they are. Every single second was so beautiful, exciting, and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Lola, was so lovely and you can tell she wants you to enjoy your time and fall in love with not only Croatia itself but the people within it. The crew on Almissa was definitely the highlight of my trip. From the captain, to the sailors, chefs, and waiters, words cannot describe how magnificent they made this week. The food is delicious and full of flavor, the cabins feel cozy, and the boat makes you feel at home. If you can book with Almissa, I can promise you that you won’t regret it. I will be returning for a third time, specifically for the Almissa crew!!!
