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.

We were 4 people that joined an existing group of 24 people that were all connected with each other. We were fortunate in that we all got along great. They were great cheerleaders for those of us not riding e-bikes. Our ride leaders, Ivica and Mario, did an amazing job of planning our rides each day, adjusting routes for the weather and our group's skill level. The crew on the boat were very friendly and helpful. Extra shout out to Christiana, David and our chef (for adjusting meals to meet my vegetarian dietary needs)

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

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!

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!

The staff were amazing. Mario, the Sail Croatia rep on the boat, was friendly, very knowledgeable and spoke several languages fluently. Matte the walk guide was clearly experienced but also patient and able to adjust to the needs of the group. The crew of the Mali Ante were delightful and went out of their way to make sure we had a great holiday. The cabins were small but had plenty of storage and the shower was great. The food was homely, crowd pleasing and generous. We got to know everyone on the trip and enjoyed the multinational vibe..

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.
- Nicola, 05/10/2025 08:54, Travelled with Friend/s
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.
- Susie, 02/10/2025 20:08, Travelled in a Couple
Cycle guides and Mali Luka staff were all fun and helpful. They all approached their jobs with professionalism and pride. Evan and Ilona took good care of us and shared necessary safety tips in addition to some great stories and history. We had lots of fun. Suggestions to make the experience better: Soap / shampoo in the showers. Towels for boat swims (These are items that don’t work in carryon luggage. Include cycle jerseys in the pkg rate.

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.

Everything about our Croatia Elegance cruise on the Katarina was outstanding, with the exception of the meals, which often weren’t to our liking. But would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
- Kathrin, 30/09/2025 00:38, Travelled in a Couple
Fantastic cruise - ship staff and tour leaders were amazing and knowledgeable. Very accommodating to all abilities. Food excellent well above expectations. Our only slight criticism was our cabin which was on the lower deck and felt quite small. In retrospect we would have chosen an upper deck cabin. That said it was a fantastic, memorable holiday made all the more special by the brilliant staff - heads up to Lola and Natasha
- Sue, 29/09/2025 16:16, Travelled in a Couple
Fun trip biking on beautiful islands. Boat crew were very friendly and helpful and kept the boat in pristine condition. Cabins were small and basic. Better bedding and more towel changes would enhance the experience.

Great staff. Bike routes well laid out and planned with interesting stops for swimming and cafes to get a delicious cup of coffee. Bikes were well maintained and very easy to ride. Any problems that did arise were handled quickly. Breakfast was great with a nice variety of food to choose from. Coffee not so good, needs improvement. Could purchase cappuccino on board which was good. Lunch definitely needs improvement. Most times it was cold. Soup was watery. Desserts were delicious. No on board safety protocols. We didn’t realize until third day into trip that life vests were under our bed. I would definitely recommend this trip.

This cruise was a great experience. The staff was incredibly attentive, the food was delicious and plenty of . It .The destinations were wonderful and the swim spots were calm., clean and secluded.

This was our first visit to Croatia. We’re so glad we chose Sail Croatia! We like small ship cruising and it was a perfect way to see so many places while unpacking once, enjoying beautiful swim stops every day and eating delicious food.

We did the Explorer cruise which was a lot of fun! Dino & crew were great. providing the group with recommendations for things to do, eat & drink each day. There is the chance for relaxation, swimming, paddle boarding etc & you could book to do excursions or go explore for yourself. The food was delicious, but they do forget about dietary requirements. I spoke to the company before arrival about dairy intolerance, again on check in & during service but gave up in the end. Fortunately it isn’t an allergy I suffer with. Excursions were hit & miss. Some were overpriced and discouraged to do which seems odd to advertise them. The evening dinner & local tour was fab but rushed, a little longer was needed during the meal & drinks to relax. We missed out on the bike tour in Mljet National Park due to winds eventhough other Sail Croatia tours were going there, it seemed there was a rush to get to Dubrovnik?? So be aware the itinerary can change but beautiful swim stops as an alternative.
- Kerry, 22/09/2025 14:12, Travelled in a Couple
The meals on the ship were the best I have ever had. Every day the lunch or dinner was outstanding. The crew was great and I would give them 5 stars. However, information from the guides about possible activities in the towns often wasn’t sent to me in time to do anything with the information, We also needed more help from them than we received in arranging our transportation extremely early on the morning of departure.

Beautiful hike choices and Island locations. The Captain and his team were amazing and accommodated bad weather so that we still hiked and enjoyed the fair weather sailing. The food on Board was fantastic and Bruno was efficient and helpful. Our group would have preferred more swim time. Perhaps also, more time in Vis-maybe a second day there for more swim time, even worth losing one hike elsewhere. The hike to the Blaca Heritage monastery on Brac and the adventure was a lot of fun as well as a history lesson. We learned a lot!!! Blaca Heritage

Great biking- biking guides did a wonderful job with routes. And experiences on the various islands.. However I feel there should be more swimming time at the various locations we biked to ; instead we had to get back for lunch on the boat. It would have been better for sail Croatia to set up a lunch at the location we were at instead of us going back to the boat. Lunches on the boat were too much/That they were full meals, rather than a lunch.

The week on the Morpheus was beautiful,, we enjoyed visiting Brac, Vis, and Korcula and Havar. We wish we could have sailed the boat more, only had two short times the boat sailed , rest of the time we motored. Unfortunately, we ordered two paddle boards for the week and the boards were of very poor quality and insufficient . Another issue was we were provided only one towel per person for the week , this seemed insufficient for a whole week on the boat .

The cycling was fantastic, unfortunately due to air conditioning issues, the cabin experience was awful. It was hillier than expected, so unless you are a seasoned hill climber, opt for e bike.

The Katarina is a very beautiful ship with a modern and elegant décoration The commun areas are well laid out The crew is very professional, friendly and helpfull The breakfast was good but it would benefit from being better supplied : for exemple of earl grey tea, a jam in jars where you can see the fruit that make it up, wholemeal bread , …. The salad buffet is a good initiative but it could include a dish of lentils or beans or chickpeas For me, the best moments were the swimming stop at the end of the morning ,in deserted coves near rocks and pines. The tour operator was very professionnal and friendly
- JAMILA, 16/09/2025 11:39,
Our bike/cruise was loads of fun & definitely experienced the culture & views that Croatia coastline offered. Loved it. Our guides Jay & Anna were very informative with loads of great humour. I definitely would have liked more info on the degree of difficulty for the bike ride, mayb I just didn’t do enough research…….. unless you are a very experienced bike rider, definitely suggest e-bike. At least you will enjoy the scenery & experience, instead of head down gasping for air to make it up the spicy inclines.

Overall, I had a great time on our Sail Croatia experience, but Matea truly made it outstanding. Matea was knowledgeable, kind and fun. The cabins were small and did not have AC (which we knew when we signed up). We thought since it was September, it would be cool enough at night. Half of the nights were a good temperature, the other half were not. In the future, I would opt for a boat with AC in the cabins. Unfortunately, since we came at the end/after season some things were closed and not possible for my group to do. The swim stops were also a highlight of our trip and Sail Croatia provided a lot more breakfast food than we were expecting, the fridge was always stocked!

We had an amazing time. The staff, excursions, service and food was 5 stars but I gave the survey 4 stars because of the condition of the boat. This boat needs maintenance and upgrades.

We really enjoyed our week on the Almissa, all of the crew were very friendly and professional at all times. The breakfast selections were excellent and most lunches delicious and big servings. The boat was kept very clean at all times. Only negative for us was that we would have like clean towels supplied more frequently as they were only changed once. Also a bath mat supplied for the slippery floor in the bathroom. We would recommend the Almissa & Sail Croatia & would love to book again in the future... Kind Regards to the team!

This tour is awesome for those who wish to explore the Croatian Isles. E-Bikes are the way to go due to the hilly terrain and if you want to enjoy the scenery. If you really want a challenge then choose road bikes. Summer months are very hot so choose wisely. The itinerary is very good and the staff are awesome. Thank you to the crew and Miranda and Andro for a great week. Cabins are not cleaned daily, only every third day so plan accordingly as this is not communicated. Food was very good, but very salty. George was awesome and very accommodating to all guests. I would recommend this tour.

It was my first time on a cruise and also my first time in Croatia. I was a bit nervous at first, but it turned out to be a lovely experience. I was surprised, however, that the age demographic was much older, and there wasn’t really anyone my age. I also expected the hiking to be more challenging, but it was quite slow and leisurely—which did suit some of the group. That said, the crew and tour guides were incredibly welcoming, and I really enjoyed meeting everyone on board. They did their best to make sure we had a great week in Croatia, and I’m thankful I took the risk and tried something new. Overall, it was a fun and memorable adventure!

I had an amazing time on sail Croatia, it’s absolutely stunning and an experience I will never forget. The guests on my boat and the staff made this experience truly unforgettable. Our chef Darren was AMAZING, he made the most incredible vegetarian options going to so much effort even though I was the only vegetarian on board! Our guide Ante was kind and approachable with any questions, and truly wanted everyone to have an amazing time. Having a local guide like Ante made such a difference as he had so much more insight and knowledge than a foreign guide would be able to have. The only reason for a loss of a star was a cleanliness issue on board, but other then that it was perfect!

The week was amazing cruising through the islands, stopping to swim each day and exploring the cute towns. The crew was really friendly/fun (our host was Dino) and the rooms were far more spacious than we expected. One thing to note was that the excursions weren’t included in the booking cost so we ended up spending quite a lot more on doing the activities (30-60 euro pp on each activity). They provided heeeaaaps of food for breakfast and lunch and catered to my dietary requirements (gluten free as I am coeliac) but unfortunately the desserts were pretty sad compared to everyone else’s - usually packet custard/mousse with fruit or just fruit alone :(
