We travelled on the Almissa with a total group of 22 people to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday. This was one of THE BEST TRIPS I have ever taken! We could not have been happier with the service, cleanliness of the ship, fun excursions, excellent food and drinks and exceptional crew! Captain Josip was the best! He sailed the Almissa perfectly, changing the order of our itinerary to best suit weather and wind conditions, giving us a perfect week of sun and beautiful weather. Our sailors Ivan and Capo took beautiful care of the ship, working tirelessly behind the scenes. Chefs Marko and Bogden prepared delicious meals with very large potions and beautiful presentation. Bartenders Kafka and Cezar prepared wonderful drinks while interacting with all of us in a fun atmosphere. We loved Hana our cruise director, she was THE BEST! She lovingly took care of all of our needs, provided us with history, information on restaurants and places to see, and even made a reservation for 22 of us!

We enjoyed our vacation aboard the spacious Esperanza. The crew was welcoming and funny and our Tour coordinator Klara kept us laughing and informed. We loved meeting people from across the world and sharing our travel stories each day. The Croatian islands were so beautiful to see and the old towns each had a unique vibe to them. Leaving the planning to Sail Croatia made it truly relaxing.

This was an amazing trip. The staff were so friendly and attentive to all our needs. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Would highly recommend to friends and family!!!

An Awesome experience!! The Captain took us to amazing swim spots and kept us in schedule for all our stops. The crew was a pleasure to interact with every day! Hanna made sure the guests were always happy , well informed, and made our reservations for dinner and excursions. The bar tenders were entertaining and kept delicious drinks in our hands! I would highly recommend Sail Croatia , especially the Almissa!!

My family lived every minute aboard Salve di Mare. Barbara and the entire crew went out of their way to ensure our vacation was the best ever. The food, the cleanliness, the friendly atmosphere made for a dream come true.

- Tammy, 27/07/2026 08:16, Travelled with Family

We had a great week aboard Princeza Diana. The crew were attentive and our host Ana very knowledgeable. Some great excursion options. A small group of 15 which actually made the week as we all got to know each other so well and all clicked. Highly recommend. I would say though when asked if you have dietary restrictions, if you don’t like fish or tomatoes worth saying as they are very much apart of the meals. Overall meals were good.

If you are considering a Sail Croatia trip, take the plunge and go! We absolutely loved our experience from start to finish. (We departed Dubrovnik on July 4 and ended in Split - Explorer.) The itinerary was the perfect combination of beautiful destinations, swimming, adventure, culture, food, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the incredible Adriatic coastline. What really made the trip special, though, was the experience of traveling with a small group and the dedicated crew. Of our 31 travelers, 11 were international (Scottish, British, Spanish, Australian, South African), with the rest from the US - and all were awesome humans! With Josip as our guide, and the Salve Di Mare crew caring for us all week, we enjoyed every minute with all our new friends. And the ship is perfection! The trip was well organized, while still feeling relaxed and adventurous. We came home with memories we'll never forget and friends we hope to see again. Five stars without hesitation!

- Mary, 25/07/2026 23:44, Travelled with Family

Amazing! Such a great trip. We seemed to have ended up with a much younger age group, but it couldn’t have been better. Our guide, Barbara, was so good. She brought us all together. Most of us are still in touch via WhatsApp and instagram! Don’t overthink if you are considering this trip, just do it!!!

- Geraldine, 22/07/2026 21:31, Travelled with Friend/s

It was a great experience overall and would love to do it again. Thank you

Was a wonderful holiday with family and the best way to see Croatia! The crew was amazing! Was also great to meet fellow guests the experience was better than anticipated!

Our week on the Almissa was amazing. Great food, staff, rooms, common spaces and other guests. The itinerary was excellent including a variety of activities and swim spots. A truly unique and special way to experience Croatia and we have no hesitation recommending the Almissa. The Sail Croatia communication was good in the lead up to the tour. A few things to note as feedback. Make the end of tour survey anonymous to get honest and useful feedback, carrying cash is a pain now for tourists - the fact everything on the boat and the extra tours and tips are to be paid in cash is inconvenient. Towels on the ship could be replaced - they are getting a bit old. Provide tea and coffee after lunch for free. This would be a small inexpensive thing to include - many international guests like their coffee and tea in the afternoon. 3 Euros for a cup of tea is way over the top. Finally the tipping recommendation appears out of step with what the cruise cost is. Small suggestions.

Everything was amazing from start to finish. The boat, the food, the crew, all the activities. A holiday to remember.

- Annelize, 18/07/2026 07:34, Travelled with Family

Excellent holiday with good room and great food. Staff were helpful and pleasant The only criticism is that the last day sailing was in Split and felt as though the holiday had ended 1 day early. I would have preferred to visit another island.

- Tracy, 17/07/2026 18:04, Travelled with Friend/s

We had a fab week on Jelena with a great group of fellow guests.The crew were brilliant and Dino was super and did all he could to ensure we enjoyed our holiday. The food was excellent and Pam & team did a great job. Very difficult to find fault and would thoroughly recommend and hope to do another trip next year.

- Sue & Boris, 17/07/2026 07:36, Travelled with Family

Our Sail Croatia cruise was one of the best trips of my life! My husband, our adult kids, and I all agreed it was an unforgettable experience. The ship was beautiful, our cabin was spacious, and it was meticulously cleaned every day. The food was outstanding, and the entire crew was friendly, welcoming, and always eager to help. A special thank you to our tour manager, Dino. He was incredibly knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations at every stop, helping us make the most of each destination. Although our itinerary changed slightly due to weather and docking conditions, it worked out perfectly. We visited Jelsa, which ended up being our favorite stop of the trip! The swim stops were absolutely spectacular, with crystal clear water and breathtaking scenery. If you're considering Sail Croatia, don't hesitate. It was an incredible experience, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

- Lara Smith, 15/07/2026 22:29, Travelled with Family

We had the best staff on our boat. Sanja was full of information for us n every stop. The bartenders and wait staff were amazing. Food was incredible and the rooms were super comfortable. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

- Abby, 14/07/2026 21:18, Travelled with Friend/s

We traveled with two families with older teens, nine total. We had the most incredible vacation. The locations were stunning, the crew and fellow passengers were fun and engaging, and the food was imaginative and delicious (but not too crazy for our picky eaters). The Salve di Mare was a beautiful boat and the rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean. Could not have asked for a better holiday!

- lisa, 14/07/2026 16:45, Travelled with Family

A fantastic voyage from start to finish! The ship was high quality, very clean and comfortable. The food was much better than expected and featured a good variety of dishes. The energy and helpfulness of the cruise director ensured everyone had a great time. I cannot say enough good things about the full experience. Highly recommend!

- Anonymous, 14/07/2026 14:49, Travelled with Family

Excellent way to see the Croatian coast and islands on a small boat cruise. Loved the food! Service was amazing. Hanna was an awesome guide and resource. The captain and crew of the Almissa made it an absolutely wonderful experience. Thank you for a great week!

- Elizabeth, 14/07/2026 00:45, Travelled with Friend/s

Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. We were on the Salve Di Mare Explorer cruise with our young adult daughters and this trip will always be remembered. From our cruise manager Josip, to the attentive staff & crew & captain- everyone was a 10/10. We met like minded travelers from across the world & enjoyed each day at sea and land with awesome excursions. We are so grateful for the memories. Thank you all!

- Paola, 13/07/2026 12:15, Travelled with Family

Totally worth every penny! The crew on Princeza Diana was amazing. Dani, Tea, Marko, Ilona and the rest were amazing. Even brought us drinks while we floated in the sea at swim stops. Cabins were clean & comfortable and AC was perfect.

- Leighanne, 13/07/2026 09:56, Travelled with Friend/s

The sail Croatia experience was a lot more fun than i had anticipated. The crew were very professional, fun and knowledgeable. The food was very fresh and delicious.

- Sharon, 09/07/2026 23:33, Travelled with Friend/s

This was an amazing experience to share with my friends- 16 of us on the Almissa. Hana, our cruise coordinator was amazing, and very knowledgeable on the local history, the food was excellent, and the crew were very accommodating. This combined with the amazing crystal blue waters to enjoy on our daily swim spits was the perfect holiday. Loved every minute 🤩

- Melinda, 08/07/2026 21:34, Travelled with Friend/s

We traveled as a group of 16 friends on Almissa for 7 days and it was magical . The staff were amazing and so welcoming and had us in fits of laughter. Hana was just an absolute pleasure and I enjoyed getting to know her and the team . Would love to return and do it again one day

- Suzette, 08/07/2026 05:30, Travelled with Friend/s

Sali Croatia on Almissa exceeded our expectations. All the crew were amazing. Caesar and Kafka kept us entertained in the bar. Captain was friendly. The chefs were outstanding.. Our tour guide, Hanna I would highly recommend to anyone she was very informative with the history at each of our stops was very kind and friendly and helpful in recommendations for dinner and excursions. If we sail again, I would request to have Hanna.. Almissa was a very beautiful boat . Thanks Saul Croatia

- Natasha, 07/07/2026 19:40, Travelled with Friend/s

We had an amazing experience. We meet some wonderful people, and enjoyed many activities, the swim stops and boat cruise were so enjoyable too.

- Melissa, 07/07/2026 11:34, Travelled with Family

This was an amazing cruise & a great way to see the beauty Croatia offers. From the yummy food, to the incredible swim spots, & our fantastic guide Hana who was always there to help, our trip was one to remember. We’ll be back Almissa ❤️

- Shaneane, 07/07/2026 09:45, Travelled with Friend/s

What an amazing experience sailing around the beautiful islands of Croatia. Our trip started in Slpit & end ended in Dubrovnik. We stopped at 5 amazing islands along the way. The boat guide Andro was incredibly knowledgeable about each island’s history & what it had to offer and gave suggestions on activities and restaurants along the way. The crew were great however my only suggestion would be it lacked a female’s touch (all male crew) 😅. Eg room cleaning & also lack of salad at lunch time with massive serving of 3 course meal at lunch (the men very happy). I would highly recommend Sail Croatia it definitely exceeded our expectations.

- Kaz Easton, 07/07/2026 08:04, Travelled with Friend/s

You never know what to expect with 35 strangers but this mini 7 night cruise exceeded all expectations. We were warmly greeted and had ample time to mingle or do our our things. We were provided with numerous options for eating out and placed to visit at each stop. The on board food (breakfast and lunch) were plentiful and the swim stops along the way were so dreamy and refreshing during our hot week on board. The rooms were well spaced with ample storage for our 2 large and 2 small cases and the A/C kicked in well at night. Our main host Andro was exceptional and his command of the English language made everything seamless, closely followed by the diligent boat crew . We had so much fun, lots of drinks and laughs with guests and plenty of time to really unpack and unwind. I felt safe, my belongings were secure and we strongly recommend the Tempera to those looking for adventure, unique beauty but ample time to chill out.. There are a few deserving tips and taxes to factor in though.

- Sammy C, 07/07/2026 02:22, Travelled with Family

We had an amazing experience with Sail Croatia, travelling on the Almissa, Hanna our guide was an absolute pleasure to have on board, all her information on our island stops was informative and her assistance with booking anything inland was a bonus. Especially her recommendations for walking and hiking trails. She really made our time on the boat stress free, The swim stops where beautiful. The bar staff Causer and Kafka were very attentive and entertaining. The staff exceed our expectations and made the cruise memorable, I’d definitely recommend sailing with the Almissa to everyone

- Kirsty, 06/07/2026 20:26, Travelled with Friend/s

Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. Amazing , knowledgeable and fun staff. Best mojitos ever. Food great very good. All locations visited beautiful. Swim stops to die for. Great variety of excursions. Highly recommend Cruise Croatia, a must do experience and I will do it again.

- Vicki, 06/07/2026 20:17, Travelled with Friend/s

We had a fabulous holiday sailing with 14 friends on the Almissa last week. The crew were lovely and Hana our coordinator was a superstar. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The food was delicious and the whole entire crew was so helpful in meeting all our needs. All in all a wonderful time had by everyone . Would highly recommend 🙌🏻 ❤️

- Tanya, 06/07/2026 18:59, Travelled with Friend/s

Croatia is beautiful, I loved all the islands, Stari Grad and Mljet National Park were highlights. Tempera is due for a refurb next year, it's fine, but it does need some attention. The crew were great. As a pescatarian I was catered for, but hot breakfast items were all in the same serving dish - eggs tasted of sausages - I can cope with that, but many wouldn't. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable.

- Amanda, 06/07/2026 15:24, Travelled with Family

We traveled on Salve Di Mare from June 27 to July 4, and our experience was simply spectacular in every way. The kindness and professionalism of every crew member, the impeccable cleanliness, and the unforgettable food all exceeded our expectations. Everything ran on schedule, allowing us to enjoy every excursion—although we often wanted to stay on the boat because it was so comfortable and enjoyable! A special thanks to our guide, Josip, who was always there to help us with anything we needed. The entire crew was amazing from start to finish. Thank you all for making this such a perfect and unforgettable trip!

- leticia reis, 06/07/2026 13:50, Travelled with Friend/s

Sail Croatia was an amazing experience. It exceeded all our expectations. The crew were fantastic & so friendly. Food was delicious & our tour director Hana was the best. Nothing was too hard for her & she was always on call to help with anything. Had the best time & was sad to finish it.

- Kim, 06/07/2026 10:55, Travelled with Friend/s

We travelled as a group of three and were blown away at how amazing the crew was. Our chef was amazing and didn’t make a bad meal, crew were very helpful and accomodating. Whether you want to explore each island, stay on deck and relax or something in between - there’s something for everyone. We had ages 22-65+ on board and enjoyed the mix of perspectives and experiences. Would happily rebook

- Lenhy, 05/07/2026 10:29, Travelled with Friend/s

Sail Croatia was amazing. We were doing a bit of a Europe tour; Greece, Croatia and Italy. Croatia was the middle of our trip and the highlight. Doing Croatia through a sail tour meant we got to see so many places and didn't have to think about transport and accommodations at all. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. Also, the food was so good. We never wanted to leave.

- Aimee, 05/07/2026 10:29, Travelled with Friend/s

My husband and I had never been on a cruise before. Sail Croatia has set the standard high. Beautiful ship, excellent staff, delicious food and unmatched scenery. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Representing Croatia, you can be sure this company will take good care of you. We will be talking about this for years. Thank you Mario. Thank you Tea. Thank you Denny. Thank you chef, captain and crew for a truly wonderful trip.

Princess Diana was a beautiful ship with an amazing crew! Our meals were delicious with a great dessert everyday! Mario, thank you for taking care of helping out with all our excursions, restaurant suggestions and help booking our transportation to the airport. Tea and Denny were the best bartenders/servers! Always with a smile and making sure all our needs were taken care of. You all were amazing and made the trip unforgettable! Captains dinner was so much fun! Especially my dance with the captain! Highly recommend this ship and crew! 🥰

We had an amazing trip to Croatia with all thanks going to the Princeza Diana and its crew! Mario was the best guide we could have asked for. Our captain and crew took great care of us. Danial and Tea always made sure we all had what we needed. I would highly recommend the Princeza Diana ship to anyone wanting to go with Sail Croatia.

Don’t even hesitate about booking this trip. We sailed on the Princess Dianna for 7 days with a crew that bent over backwards for us to make sure we had a good time. The food was amazing everyday. Mario was our main tour guide. Mario is extremely knowledgeable about the areas that we visited and just a great guy to hang out with. Our bartenders and wait staff-Teia and Danny- also took care of us getting us any and many drinks. Thank you to the entire staff for making this trip so memorable.

We had a big group of family and friends recently travel on a Sail Croatia trip from Dubrovnik to Split. It was a great experience. The crew on the Salve Di Mare were wonderful and we loved our tour director Sasa. I highly recommend this cruise.

- Laura, 29/06/2026 09:09, Travelled with Friend/s

The Sail Croatia trip was great. Beautiful swim stops, interesting fellow travelers, and no shortage of food or drinks. Good value for money, and leaves you wanting more time in Croatia. A few things I would change: The amount of time spent in port towns. We were really only in a port during the late afternoons and at night, and it would have been really nice to have more daytime to explore the islands and towns. There's a lot of food waste on the boat. Every lunch had three courses, and they were huge and quite heavy. One or two courses, or the ability to opt in or out of certain courses, would reduce food waste. Also, the house wine on the boat was from two huge plastic jugs on the floor behind the bar. It was super sweet and undrinkable. It would have been nice to have the option for a glass of decent house wine, instead of having to purchase whole bottles.

- Amy, 28/06/2026 18:57, Travelled with Friend/s

I was somewhat disappointed and felt the overall experience to be a little lacking. While the air conditioning failed in some cabins and the crew did what they could to fix it was understandable, one guest complained and the Captain felt it necessary to berate all guests on board at dining. The excursions were less than what was advertised. The swim time was extremely long and cut into time that could have been spent on shore. We scheduled a pick up through our ship from our hotel to the ship for departure and then were not allowed on the ship for 2 hours in an area with no shelter, shopping or bathrooms. The coordinator of excursions missed the mark on helping acquire e-bikes along with knowledge of restaurants and distances to attractions. There were not enough deck chairs for the number of guests. The jacuzzi was filled only twice. Coffee was only available during breakfast hour or had to pay for it. Overall, the experience was not what we had hoped for or planned.

- Denise, 22/06/2026 22:07, Travelled with Family

Spectacular week on board the Mali Ante Explorer cruise! Went on some excursions, skipped others, was never unhappy about where I ended up. Seemed impossible to make a bad choice between the pristine sea, the INCREDIBLE crew, and all the picturesque seafront towns my heart could desire! Not generally a big cruise person but this didn’t feel like that at all, aside from the convenience of not having to plan a single travel logistic ourselves. It all felt friendly and personal and like the perfect size group to make some friends, learn everyone’s name, but have plenty of opportunity for privacy too. Below deck room w/twins was perfect for two besties and actually much larger than I expected—just bring earplugs for the morning engine noise and you’ll do great. Again have to say a fabulous crew made it feel really special. Put it this way: if you like to like things you will find it easy to like this vacation! Highly recommend mid/late June for crisp water and perfect daytime temps.

- Charlotte, 22/06/2026 22:05, Travelled with Friend/s

The trip was incredible. The Sail Croatia team and cruise staff mixed the learnings of the rich history of the region and created an environment for connections with the other guests on the boat! Great way to celebrate my birthday with my twin and our posse of couples!! So memorable!

Another AMAZING week cruising through the Dalmatian islands. My husband, Bill, and I found Sail Croatia back in 2017 and did our first week in 2018. As Bill says “it’s the easy button.” A handful of years later we wanted to go again, so we booked a week on the Salve di Mare. Wow! Another incredible week some little details had even improved from the first time. We became friends with several other guests from the far reaches of the world, stayed in touch, and my Aussie friend, Kirstyn, and I schemed a return. 7 of us from the 2023 trip returned this year (more had planned to, but life got in the way). Klara was our guide in ‘23, and there was some concern that this year’s Sail Croatia rep might not live up to her, but Saša was up to the challenge. He was friendly, approachable, funny, and informative. It really felt like he cared about each of us. The whole crew of Salve di Mare (Captain, sailors, chefs, waiters, housekeeper… ) were professional, kind, and hardworking. ❤️Sail Croatia!
