We were on the Romantic Star on the Elegance Cruise. The cabin suite was very spacious and had great storage for all our personal effects. Loved the full size windows to watch the scenery as we cruised. The crew really made an effort to accommodate my special food diet, which was really appreciated. We only had 19 passengers on our cruise as it was near the end of the season, which was really nice as there was so much space on the vessel to hang out. We loved the itinerary to all the different islands. This cruise is very good value for the price and would recommend it to others.

Ivan out tour guide was phenomenal. He taught us something new everyday about the history and geography of Croatia. He always made things interesting and fun. The entire schedule of the Wines of Croatia Cruise was perfect, never too much and always an adventure. We were treated like royalty on the ship and the accomodations were just right. The Queen Jalena is a marvel of a ship. I hope to sail with Sail Croatia again in the next year or tow, NO ONE could be better!!

Well organised cruise encompassing sommeliers and vineyards along the Dalmatian coast. Our tour manager, Vicko, the staff onboard and people we met along the way were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We were recommended the trip by friends and will heartily recommend it ourselves.

The crew, the captain, our cruise director Ivan, and the ship itself, which was beautiful, combined to make a wonderful trip to Croatia. This was our second time here and we were happy to do it this time “by sea.” We had a great mix of passengers too, which was an added bonus. Thank you so much for everything!

The cruise was lovely & scenic. I wish we had more time at the ports, the time spent at the swim stops & lunch seemed a little too long. Staff were nice & very professional. Ship was well maintained & very clean.

Food was great, boat was very nice. The jacuzzi was not warm enough to use (end of Sept), which was disappointing. The boat only has heat or air and someone requested heat, but it left many of us feeling quite warm in the evenings. Overall a great experience, despite some small issues.

We were a group of 11 friends on the Queen Jelena Wines of Croatia cruise and had the trip of a lifetime! From the service, to the cleanliness of the boat, to the excursions, everything was flawless. Biggest shout out goes to our intrepid leader Ivan who was always organized and informative, and most importantly, put up with our antics. If we were to come back for another cruise, he would be our top request! And don't forget about the food! The breakfast buffet was always hot and filling. The three course meals were some of the best meals I had while traveling ever. Finally, the dining excursions included were such a delicious way to try traditional dishes. Sail Croatia truly does an exceptional job at customer service and tourism experiences. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

From the moment we stepped aboard, the staff demonstrated a level of attentiveness that truly set the tone for the entire journey. They worked incredibly hard, always with kindness and grace, striking the perfect balance of being friendly yet thoroughly professional. Dining on board felt like a fine restaurant experience that Pamela and Ella beautifully prepared and presented. Ivan was a standout—deeply knowledgeable, flexible with the schedule, well organized, and incredibly engaging. They all made each day feel thoughtfully curated, with just the right mix of fun and relaxation. One of the highlights for me were the swim stops, which were both refreshing and well-managed. I felt completely safe under both Josips and Chad’s supervision. Overall, the combination of attentive service, gourmet dining, engaging activities, delightful wine, and a caring, professional team made this wine cruise a truly memorable adventure. Meeting a mix of new friends from all over the world was a bonus.

The food on board was delicious! The weather was superb which allowed us to look forward to each and every swim stop. Loved all the islands we visited. Our cruise director Anita was the absolute best. Always keeping us informed ahead of time on what to expect at each island and ideas on where explore, what activities to possibly participate in and amazing selection of restaurant choices. She was always quick to answer questions, make reservations and assist with any problems anyone had. What a kind beautiful person who clearly loves what she does. We have raved about our holiday and our Sail Croatia experience. What an incredible way to meet people from around the world, explore the many regions of Croatia. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea was a favourite part, one we looked forward to daily. Loved loved loved this vacation ❤️

The experience onboard Katarina was personable, and fun, The crew knew us by name almost immediately. They were attentive, caring, easy going, fun and kind. The boat was well laid out, and when we were able, the swim stops were a highlight. The Captains dinner was an opportunity for us to celebrate our time on the water, and it did not disappoint. Ivan hired a live band, and we danced through each course at dinner, through until the end!

We enjoyed our travel of the Croatian islands with Sail Croatia. Ioana made the experience great ! She has given reliable information and realistic expectations of the activities every day. We made so many friends which added value to the experience itself! Food is great ! The cabin was spacious and clean. If anything, I would recommend all inclusive sailing, maybe offering 1 or 2 options of activities for the passengers to choose from . Thank you for this experience! Best, Arlyn and Thomas

We just finished this 7 day cruise Split to Dubrovnik. Stormy weather on Day 1 forced some itinerary changes but the sun soon came out and all was plain sailing. Visited Hvar Korcula Mljet Sipan and Dubrovnik. Relaxed mornings with swim stops in isolated coves, 3 course delicious meals at lunch. In the afternoon and evening wine tasting and on shore dinners. We learnt a lot about Croatian wines and local life on the islands. Friendly crew , personable host Vin and the wonderful chef made for a very pleasant cruise.. Our upper deck accommodation was clean and comfortable. We'd recommend this cruise, suitable for 40s to 80s!
- Carole , 14/10/2025 12:34, Travelled in a Couple
Sailing every day to a different island was a wonderful introduction to the history past and present of Croatia. Sail Croatia selected great swim spots as well as interesting islands to explore. The food on and off the boat was delicious . The crew and guide were outstanding
- Margaret, 14/10/2025 08:55,
Exactly as was described. Friendly staff, very clean staterooms and boat overall. Food was good and plentiful and presented nicely. Breakfast each day was buffet and lunch served. Salad available everyday. Coffee and teas available 24/7. Enjoyable week. Islands were very pretty..
- Kathy, 14/10/2025 08:34, Travelled in a Couple
It's a very nice boat and wonderful crew! The ports were all fabulous. We loved each island that we visited. The food was plentiful and well prepared. We had unseasonably cool weather, but we were still able to enjoy a swim stop or two. We could always find a spot to enjoy cruising. Our cruise manager, Vedron was warm and friendly. He had a great sense of humor and gave wonderful port talks. We especially enjoyed the bike tour in Mljet National Park and the Military tour on Hvar. I would have like another opportunity to do a bike tour on another island possibly.

MV Katarina was excellent! Every aspect of the cruise was well thought through and enjoyable. The meals on-board were first class - plentiful amount of food that was tasty, beautifully presented and with good variety. The staff on board were friendly, helpful and provided impeccable service (particularly the wait/bar-staff). The cabin and bathroom were a good size and super clean, and the shower spacious with good water pressure and hot-water. The boat itself is kept immaculately clean and felt new with plenty of areas to relax and enjoy the scenery. The itinerary was great and provided a good balance between time for sightseeing and relaxing, with a variety of activities and tours on offer. I particularly enjoyed the swim stops in secluded bays. Special thanks to our cruise director Ioana who communicated well, was helpful and organised. I thoroughly recommend Sail Croatia (who were great at communication before the cruise) and MV Katerina.

Number one, the staff was excellent! From the time we entered onto the ship to the time we got off they were always there when we needed them. If someone also had food issues, they were also accommodating to the persons needs. The director, Ivan, also personalized, and went above and beyond some of the things to help us and make our experience very memorable! The staff also in charge of swimming, cooking, serving, cleaning, bartending were all very friendly. Second, the ship was in great condition and kept clean. Third, the two tours that were included were great with Ivan. Fourth, the Captain’s dinner was great and the band was excellent! And, the people that were on the ship with us ended up to be the best and we all had so much fun together! A feeling of family! Ivan, the director was superb!! Captain Ivan was also superb!

What was so great about the boat cruise the amazing crew including Vicko and the Captain! Followed closely by the fun loving passengers! 10 out of 10 for Vicko’s knowledge, humour and happy friendly nature. I thought the Californians and Brit’s were an awesome bunch of fun loving people. A big thumbs up 👍 for Sail Croatia💖💫

Our tour manager Klara was brilliant from start to finish, always making sure we knew the itinerary each day and when the weather changed plans suddenly Klara sorted something else straight away. The ship was clean and the perfect size for us ( 38 guests) and we made some lovely new friends. Croatia is stunning although the wind was cold. Each wine bar was welcoming for our wine tasting and all provided snacks too. I would highly recommend this cruise.
- Helen, 08/10/2025 13:51,

My husband and I had a wonderful experience on the Olimp. The crew on the boat was professional, considerate, and hard working. The ship itself was kept fastidious and our meals were delicious. Vedran our coordinator and guide was fabulous. He is knowledgeable, clear and always ready to answer any question. He made sure everyone was well taken care of. You need to clone him!

From the very beginning our time upon the Katarina was wonderful. Ioana arranged excursions beautifully and was very flexible with everyone. We met so many nice people on board and feel like we all got along very well. The rooms were spacious and the showers hot with great water pressure and comfortable beds. The crew is amazing. It is a family business and it feels like it. They all work together to make the stay extra special. There is not a speck of dirt on this boat. They are always cleaning- even saw the captain out cleaning . The food is good. Breakfast and lunches are included and very filling. Almost too much food in fact! I hated to be wasteful but dinner was large portions. The drinks are great and the bar staff was also wonderful. From beginning to end it was a fantastic trip and I would very much do it all over again!

This was truly a trip I’ll never forget. A great company that took care of absolutely everything from start to finish – professional, friendly, and genuinely caring about their guests. The guide was amazing, full of knowledge, humour, and passion for what he did – he made the journey both educational and entertaining. To top it all off, we had a wonderful group of fellow passengers – friendly, fun, and full of good energy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. And what a ship! A beautiful, luxurious vessel with first-class facilities, delicious food, and an atmosphere that radiates elegance and comfort - with amazing, helpful staff who went above and beyond to make the journey unforgettable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great, relaxing experience – a great company, an amazing guide and staff and a luxurious ship made this pure perfection! 🚢✨

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the Sail Croatia Elegance cruise from Dubrovnik to Split in mid-September. We loved the morning swim breaks followed by delicious 3-course lunches then activities on the next island/stop—it was a great mix of lazy and active. The ship was roomy and comfortable so it was easy to hang out with people or find space to be alone. Everything was well-planned and organized, and ran so smoothly. We were very grateful for Visco, our impressive tour manager, who had a wonderful style—friendly and informative; each morning he described our itinerary for the day, told us more about what was unique about the stop, activities we might want to do, and things like how to find transportation if we wanted to wander further. He’d also send suggestions via whatsapp, and sit and chat with us at meals. We learned so much about Croatia and its fascinating history through Visco and the various guides on the tours. The captain, staff and crew were skilled, friend

We had the best vacation on the Olimp with 10 of our friends. The boat is beautiful, cabins are modern and bathrooms are great. There is plenty of space (in the sun or in the shade) to relax and enjoy the passing scenery. Captain George and the Olimp crew were fantastic, making sure we were safe, happy and well feed & ‘watered’! The islands we visited were lovely and we all enjoyed wondering round and exploring them. Daily swim stops were fun and locations were always very picturesque.

We enjoyed the crew and getting to know the passengers. . The food was inconsistent, not always stellar . Much of it dry and cold, the coffee was instant, and we had to pay extra for real coffee. The islands themselves very scenic, the ship was clean, and the crew were amazing. We would do a smaller cruise but upgrade to a fancier ship with better food. Otherwise, great memories were made.

Queen Jalena is a classy broad.. ooops boat. She's built in a such a way that her broad bottom glides as smoothly as silk over the seas. She looks kinda antique with her mahogany fittings and hardwood decking but she's seriously classy and a thoroughly modern miss.. The crew keep her in ship shape order,, cleaning and polishing her everyday so she sparkles. Speaking of crew, what bunch of consummate professionals they are. Nothing is ever a problem for them. Graacious and generous, our wish is their command. Experience this extravagance for yourself. Catch a taste of Croatia in the coolest and most casual way possible via Sail Croatia. You'll be left wanting more❤️
- BETTY, 02/10/2025 15:52, Travelled with Friend/s
We had an amazing trip from Dubrovnik to Split on board the Queen Jelena. This is an ideal way to get a taste of the beautiful islands that lie between these two major towns. The communication and information from Sail Croatia staff prior to the trip was very good. The ship is a beauty and stands out from the more modern looking ones wherever we docked. The service from the friendly crew on board was excellent. Vicko, our Sail Croatia guide, provided us with tons of helpful information at each of the briefings and via the WhatsApp group - so much so, that we really missed him when we had to fend for ourselves again at the end of the cruise! The quality of the food on board was very good. We had breakfast & 3 course lunch on board and then fended for ourselves in the evening, except for the Captain's dinner and a meal at a Croatian village on one of the islands. The cruise was also made special by our lovely cruise companions we met from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and UK.

Stunning scenery, luxurious accommodation, delicious meals, and excellent crew and trip leader. We never thought we’d take a cruise, but being with a small group appealed to us. Although Sail Croatia advertises their trips as small group experiences that describes life on the ship, but not ashore. At first we were quite taken aback that our ship would raft with as many nine other ships in port. I wish Sail Croatia had included at least one photo of the boats rafted in their trailer on the website so this wasn’t such a surprise for many of us. Disappointing, but it didn’t ruin our trip. The daily swim stops when we were anchored provided a quieter experience that we were looking for. Our trip leader, Ivan, was both well organized and knowledgeable. He provided great suggestions of what to do on the islands in his detailed daily itineraries. He also shared his vast knowledge of the history of Croatia with us in his talks which were really interesting. We loved his surprise on Hvar!

A Beautiful ship. (spacious, modern, comfortable) Great Tour Manager (Ivan) who was very knowledgeable, attentive and very good company. He ensured we made the most of the week with recommendations, excursions, advice. Always present with a smile! Fabulous friendly and helpful crew Excellent food on board. Croatia is a stunning country of blue seas, green islands, welcoming people, delicious local food and wine. We were group of mixed ages and nationalities who started as strangers and ended up as friends! Highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone contemplating a trip around the islands.

From start to finish this was a once in a lifetime holiday. The boat Queen Jelena was so beautiful. The crew were polite and helpful and friendly. The food was delicious, the daily routine suited me perfectly . Our Tour Manager Vicko took such good care of us and brought Croatia and its history to life with his informative daily talks on the culture and history of each island we sailed to. He is a great ambassador for Sail Croatia and the country of Croatia. I cannot recommend this cruise enough.it really was perfect.

We traveled with a group of friends. This cruise perfectly loans itself to a friendly and fun experience. The crew was fantastic, in particular Mio and Martina. They made our experience so much more fun and their attention gave a much higher level of service than expected. The slow progression through the islands felt luxurious and calming. I never felt a moment of motion sickness. The islands and coastline are absolutely stunning. The cabins are good sized, the showers had good water pressure and temperature. The bar was well stocked and available when we wanted it. The only weak area of improvement is the meals. The long lunch is lovely but some of the dishes were not delicious. The daily salad bar was good as was the breakfast. We would have preferred a longer breakfast time. It was early and too short.

The excursions were well organised and V had some great recommendations for dinner at each port. There were several places on the boat to relax. The swim stops were crystal clear and the swim platform made it easy to get in and out of the water. This was the highlight of our holiday and would thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
