We sailed a 7 day cruise with Sail Croatia. The boat is called Katarina & it is part of the Elegance line. Captain Ivan, his staff and the cruise director were so welcoming and attentive. We had amazing swim stops every day, visited beautiful islands and had plenty of time to enjoy them. The boat is beautiful, new, well maintained, clean and very comfortable. I was sad to see the trip end and I would go again, if possible.

Everything came together to create the perfect holiday - the stunning landscapes, the refreshing swim stops, the delicious food, and the beautiful cruise. What truly elevated the experience was the wonderful crew, especially the amazing team at the salon, and our exceptional guide, Dino. Their warmth and professionalism made every moment even more special.

Our tour manager, Ioanna, was the shining star of the cruise. She is very knowledgeable about Croatia’s history, top things to do on each island, always goes the extra mile and consistently to ensure guests are well versed in all possibilities, she over delivers on every aspect of the role and has a great communication style, very light and funny. The crew is wonderful as well, very hard working and dedicated to their jobs. The cook staff was incredibly talented, and meals were delicious. And the captain was just lovely. Definitely one of the cleanest sails I have ever experienced. I would absolutely recommend the Olimp, it’s a family-owned boat and the Captain is the son of the owner.

We had an absolutely fantastic time. Our Cruise Director Ioana was so professional, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her to organise. She was always available and communication was great. The crew were great, efficient always smiling 😃 and friendly. Almira and Ivo were very attentive in the dining and bar areas. Hard working crew all around the sail crew were great in getting the best swim stops every day and Nickoletta was wonderful with housekeeping. The Chef and his sous chef prepared delicious food for us and the variety was excellent and very tasty. Thank you SAIL CROATIA for an amazing trip. We made some special friendships and all the places we stopped along the way were great with many different experiences.

Crucero de pocos pasajeros, atención personalizada. Excelente itinerario. Lugares qye visita son imperdibles. Tripulación muy atenta y servicial. Especial mención para Dino y Martina que estuvieron dedicados a atendernos, ayudarnos y proporcionando alegría y entretención . Capitan muy experto y fue muy grato participar con él en la noche del Capitan. Sugerencia: tener más elementos inflables para nadar en el mar. Y el día de inicio del crucero realizar alguna actividad para que pasajeros se conozcan.

Sail Croatia is an amazing company, every detail for a lovely vacation. Our tour director (Ioana) and the sailing crew were amazing. This has been the best vacation I have ever been on. I will definitely recommend it to my friends who also love to travel. Sail Croatia met and exceeded any and all my expectations. I

boat was fantastic as were the wonderful crew and the Sail Croatia rep. overall food was very good although it would have been nice to be able to dine on deck rather than on the dining room - certainly for the onboard barbecue. we had a lower deck cabin which was well appointed although it could do with a washing line to hang wet clothes on . stops were great especially the swim stops - although i think this could be improved by offering a late afternoon swim stop. i appreciate the logistics of arranging moorings may make that difficult. overall a great holiday we had a great group of fellow travellers who all socialised together and this made the holiday.

the entire sales team was top notch and made the whole process seamless. we were a group of 15, with many first time travelers to croatia, and the team was incredibly professional and responsive. fantastic experience start to finish!

The staff on the boat were delightful, enthusiastic, helpful, informative and efficient. The boat swim stops were at phenomenal places, the Island visits were spectacular and the tours were fun and informative, the shopping was awesome, the food and local wines were full of variety and flavor. A five star recommendation this cruise.
- Diane, 08/07/2025 11:26, Travelled with Friend/s
We loved our trip on The Olimp. We made new friends from across the world, had excellent daily swim stops in quiet coves - getting on and off for those stops was made easy by a platform which lowers into the sea (no nasty ladders) The crew of 9 were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. They had an excellent grasp of English too. The holiday was effortless because of them. Breakfast at 8-9am in the restaurant daily, followed by a daily briefing at 9. Swim stops were about 2-3 hours after breakfast. Coffee, cake and fruit was available after 11am. A 3 course lunch was 1-2pm, after which we landed at our destination and the day/night was our own til 5am. On ship bar closed at 12 midnight. It all worked wonderfully. Our host Ivan was fabulous. Some stops had free walking tours, others had bookable excursions the day before. The Captains dinner and village meal were both excellent and included We had daily advice on local wines and restaurants. I highly recommend this cruise.
- Mary Yvonne, 08/07/2025 10:16, Travelled with Friend/s
I had a fantastic time on the Elegance cruise through Sail Croatia! The highlights were the swim stops in the gorgeous Adriatic Sea, the local dinner and wine tasting in Stari Grad, and the mix of both small towns and bigger towns on the route. Vicko, our host, was the perfect mix of friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! Croatia is a beautiful country, and as a solo traveler Sail Croatia was a great way to experience it!
- Anonymous, 05/07/2025 18:11, Travelled Solo
More outdoor meals would be great. More and better pillows definitely. Some type of equipment for swimming stops, stand up boards maybe? Captains dinner earlier on in trip so everyone mingles more earlier on. Staff were great, boat comfortable and well maintained/clean.

Anita was a perfect Cruise Director, and our experience with Sail Croatia, and the Queen Jelena was outstanding. Anita had so many ideas of ways to explore each destination that it was easy to pick the excursion experiences that were right for our family. She was always available for questions, provided endless tips and tricks to optimize our time in Croatia, and was simply delightful to be around. She said we'd leave this week feeling like a family, and she was spot on! Queen Jelena, including the Captain and crew, were gracious, passionate about service, and attentive to our every need. The food was truly EXCEPTIONAL. Hats off to the chef and sous chef...AMAZING food!!! The locations of our swim stops were fantastic. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea at these picturesque, unique little coves is something we will never forget. Thank you Anita, Sail Croatia & the Captain/Crew of Queen Jelena!

We sailed on the Katarina from Dubrovnik to Split. This was our second Sail Croatia trip on the same route, but a different ship last time. The ship is family run and you can tell it's their passion. The Katarina is a great ship, plenty of sun beds, and seating areas, perfectly working air conditioning in the cabins and a good shower. Of particular note were the excellent crew. The Captain Ivan and the girls Ivanka and Angela serving us particularly need a special mention. They were all great fun at the Captains Dinner and seemed to be having as much fun as we all were! Cleanliness on the ship could not be faulted. The sailors were always cleaning, and we usually had the shiniest cleanest ship in the harbour. The food was excellent - quite large portions but that's hardly a complaint by most! The Tour Manager was Mia and she was absolutely fabulous, she was knowledgeable and friendly, with an excellent sense of humour. We will definitely be back!

My friends and family had the best time with Ana and the entire crew on Esperanza!!! Ana was amazing about coordinating events/excursions and making sure that we were all having a great time, and the crew of Esperanza made sure that we all felt so taken care of the entire week onboard, This will be such a hard vacation to top. The swim stops every day were beautiful and each port in Croatia was unique and fun in their own ways. 10/10 would recommend.

My husband andI traveled with another couple. We had a wonderful week. It was our first cruise and I was apprehensive. For me, the small number of people was essential. We were lucky that the other travelers were all kind and fun. And our leader, Anita, was terrific. Always eager to help, fun to talk with and very knowledgaable about so many aspects of being in Croatia.

We cruised from Dubrovnik to Split in early June and loved the experience. Vedran, Yuri, Evo, Almira and the rest of the crew made the trip so special. The ship was impeccable, the breakfast and lunches were wonderful, the swim stops were chilly but fun and the excursions were worth it. Vedran’s daily briefings were informative but also had us all laughing. Wonderful group of travelers on our boat. Met the best people. Was already getting crowded as this is a popular area. I would strongly recommend Sail Croatia especially the Olimp!
- Keith, 11/06/2025 05:37, Travelled with Friend/s
The itinerary, the crew/staff, and comfort of the bedrooms/bath were top-notch. We truly enjoyed the daily swim stops (whether we swam or not), each gorgeous island, and the ship's facilities. Our tour manager, Klara, took very good care of us, with excellent recommendations at each stop.
- Carrie, 09/06/2025 17:31, Travelled with Family

The trip was easy to book, with lots of helpful tips and instructions on how to find to the ship in Split harbour. The itinerary was just perfect, island hopping everyday and stopping for swimming while spending a relaxing morning sailing and sunbathing on deck. Our tour host, Dino, made our trip truly memorable as well as the other guests we spent our week with. Dino was amazing, such a delightful guy. Our group is still messaging each other on the WhatsApp chat that Dino set up. We were informed each day of what to expect, what we could see, what time we were setting off, where to eat, drink, best places for anything that any guest was looking for. The holiday was a delightful balance of being well looked after whilst freedom to see/do as much as we wanted. Remember to bring more long-sleeved clothing if travelling in May as evenings are cool. Lunch was a tasty 3-course cooked meal which I would have preferred as a buffet selection personally. Definitely recommend the trip!
- Tamara, 04/06/2025 10:47, Travelled with Family
Forget those huge cruise ships THIS is the way to travel. Vendrán our guide always made perfect suggestions but you can do as much or as little as you want. Great swim stops every day and lovely clean cabin and boat made for a comfortable week. With fresh cooked food and only 18 on board this was a revelation. I will be booking again. Loved it!

We had a wonderful week aboard Esperanza May 18 to 25. Our ship guide, Vedran ('V') was just the best in managing our group of 34 persons; V was an excellent communicator, readily available and always helpful. V kept us laughing and was so much fun, seeming to really enjoy his job. The ship was beautifully appointed; the rooms were spacious with great showers and lots of storage. We appreciated the rooms being cleaned early every day. We also really appreciated the ease of entering and exiting the sea from the ship during our daily swim stops . The quantity and quality of the food was perfect, beautifully presented and professionally served. Hats off to all of the onboard ship staff! We really liked the balance of ship and shore time, feeling that we had a relaxing time but also learned about the local history. The only 2 things we might have liked were an extra salad bar al lunch (long line up for salad) and possibly an optional drink package. Thank you Sail Croatia.

The cruise defied all expectations! The staterooms are comfortable, bathrooms and hairdryers, towels all perfect. Our Crew was amazing—they work hard and were exceedingly generous and kind. Our guide, Ioana, was smart and funny, thoughtful and dependable. The ship Olimp was bougie, bougie. Seriously, we are sailboaters and had no idea how beautiful the Olimp would be. Gleaming! Our group of 8 made fast friends with all of our other traveling companions. Lots of laughter and joviality.❤️ five stars isn’t enough!

Organization, correspondence, accommodations on the boat, and our guide who stayed on the boat and delivered daily short information talks with us were all superb. A couple suggestions.... The village dinner in our Dubrovnik to Split sailing was bery disappointing. Main course definitely weak and very ordinary...pasta with very little beef bits. Also it was so loud in there due to very poor acoustics you could barely have a conversation with the people right across from you. The bedding on our beds on the boat was ok but you should add a second or thicker blanket

My partner and I recently sailed with Sail Croatia alongside a group of 20 friends and acquaintances—and what an unforgettable experience it was! From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear we were in for something truly special. The other passengers onboard became fast friends. There was a wonderful sense of camaraderie and shared adventure that made every moment even more enjoyable. The crew were outstanding—professional, warm, and attentive. The food was consistently amazing, and the itinerary struck the perfect balance: breakfast and lunch onboard, with plenty of time to explore the stunning ports each day. A special shoutout to our program director, "V," who was a truly delightful human being and played a big role in making this one of the most memorable vacations we’ve ever had. Highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized adventure!
