Hands down best way to experience the diverse islands of Croatia! With overnight stops at islands in between in Dubrovnik + Split, you can really see it all. The guides do a great job suggesting local excursions + places to eat. Plus the daily swim stops are awesome! I recommend the Explorer cruise if you are looking for a good balance of fun + sightseeing without too much party :)

We were very well looked after by the crew and Lola our tour guide was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. The boat was very well maintained and clean.

From Day one we knew this was going to be a great experience. Very welcoming staff, comfortable and roomy cabin. And the food was amazing. Our chief Dino was so helpful and gave us great advice on excursions. Out swim stops in the beautiful blue Adriatic were amazing. We have made life long friends and would highly recommend the Salve Di Mare.

We have sailed on the Almissa before, it didn’t let us down, beautiful boat. Food fabulous and a brilliant mixture of people.

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.

Great company Awesome crew Wonderful food Perfect locations and flexibility Ease of locating the vessel with live maps. Simple check in and boarding process Proactive host ( Lola) was always available and super helpful. Swim stops most days in perfect locations. Organised excursions if you wanted or just good old reading and relaxing on the top deck. Simple tab system onboard with one payment on checkout to settle. Thank you all for a trip to remember Des & Claire

The cruise was absolutely outstanding. Having ready reviews we were expecting a tiny cabin however we were more than happy with the size of room and bathroom. The storage space was a really nice surprise. The daily routine of breakfast, time to relax, swim stop & then lunch onboard before next destination made for a very relaxing week. Being summer and the long days we had plenty of time to explore each destination we stopped at. Korcula & Stari Grad were favourite stops!

Amazing, we travelled with our teenage daughters, we loved this cruise everyone on board so friendly. Dino our guide was amazing, always on top of everything and giving great advice! Ship was stunning with good size cabins, and plenty of communal space. We visited some beautiful locations. I can highly recommend this cruise.

We had high expectations coming into our Sail Croatia cruise on the Salve Di Mare, and those expectations were greatly exceeded by the experience and the crew. The Dalmatian Coastline is stunning, definitely more stunning than the pictures yo see. The crew was very attentive and helpful. The crew made sure we had the best time possible. Our guide, Dino, was great helping setup experiences for all of us on the boat. We made new friends that we will stay connected with in the future. If you're thinking about taking a cruise with Sail Croatia, and specifically on the Salve Di Mare, I could not give them a higher recommendation!
- Brian, 14/07/2025 10:42, Travelled with Friend/s
This was my first time to Croatia, and I am so glad that we used Sail Croatia. It was a great way to see some of the islands, and the explorer cruise was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxing. The crew were so lovely and helpful, and our tour manager Dino was responsive and offered great advice. I would recommend this cruise!

We booked the Explorer cruise on board Tempera from Split to Dubrovnik and I can tell you we ended up very happy with our choice. Firstly, the ship Tempera made us feel right at home. Our cabin was cozy, decent size with everything you might need. The highlight there was definitely the window with amazing views to wake up to every morning.. Take the above deck cabin just for that. The food was great! Breakfast just diverse enough to get you ready for the day ahead (try the watermelon) and 3course lunch which was always delicious. The itinerary was breathtaking; either while on the way, the swim stops or the ports of call. Writing this 3 days later I still can't decide which destination was my favorite. All of the excursions were fun and different from each other so not one day felt the same. After excursions we still had enough time to explore (or party) which was awesome! Big thanks to all of the crew without which this trip wouldn't be as memorable and so hard to match in the future!

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. Dino, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, bringing every destination to life. The excursions were varied and well-planned, with the perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Can’t recommend this cruise enough – a truly memorable way to experience Croatia!
- Isabelle , 14/07/2025 07:30, Travelled with Family
Our Sail Croatia Explorer cruise on the Tempera exceeded our expectations. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the food was top-notch! The entire crew was great...always very attentive to anything we needed. Cal, our amazing tour leader, made the week truly memorable. From restaurant/attraction suggestions at each stop, to interesting historical info about all of the islands, and of course, his great taste in music (that playlist!), he was the perfect guide for our incredible week on-board! Thanks Cal! Highlights of our trip included the daily swim stops, exploring all the islands, and the wonderful new friends we met on the boat.

My partner and I spent 8 days cruising around Croatia on the Tempera boat, the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive (and excellent chefs) and our trip manager Cal really made sure we had the best possible holiday. If you’re unsure whether to do a sail Croatia or not - let this be your sign to DO IT!
- Erica, 10/07/2025 14:58, Travelled in a Couple
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!
- Kate, 10/07/2025 06:40, Travelled with Family
We loved so much about the week and are so thankful that we were able to participate on the Explorer Cruise. The ship, Almissa, crew, and tour manager, Dino, made sure that the passengers could experience the beauty of Croatia. The swim stops in the morning were some of our favorite moments of the day - peaceful, turquoise glimmering water! Having the option to do or not do excursions or to take recommendations make the trip customizable for each couple, family or group on board. I still can’t believe how lucky we were to have an experience like this!
- Elizabeth , 09/07/2025 14:28, Travelled in a Couple
The week with Sail Croatia was awesome. Lola was an amazing tour manager, she was well organised, a great communicator, very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat Salve di Mare was a beautiful ship, the rooms felt more spacious than I expected, which was great as I was travelling solo and sharing with another guest. The whole week was amazing, we spent the mornings swimming at various secluded swim stops, which I absolutely loved! The afternoons and evenings were for exploring the towns. Lola and the crew were excellent at planning our stops to ensure we arrived at the best time to avoid crowds if possible. For example we left early to get to the Blue Cave first thing to avoid the cues. I would definitely recommend sailing with Sail Croatia!
- Anna, 08/07/2025 20:45, Travelled Solo
We loved sailing the Croatian Islands with our teens. The boat was wonderful as was the staff aboard. We hope to come back in the future.
- Erin, 08/07/2025 19:34, Travelled with Family
From start to finish: we had a fantastic week. All the crew, from captain to chefs, waiters, bar staff and the rep, all fantastic. The food was amazing, boat clean and comfortable and places visited excellent. Organised trips and meals out all optional, but we had a group that all joined it. Met some lovely people and would highly recommend.
- Shelley, 08/07/2025 18:29,
We had a great week on the Almissa with the Sail Croatia crew. Daily swim stops, and cute towns through Croatia were our highlight.

We had the most fabulous time aboard Almissa! From start to finish, everything was brilliant. First of all, our guide Dino was absolutely fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to help. Whether it was answering questions or recommending restaurants, excursions, he went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. The rest of the crew were equally fantastic, professional and kind. The itinerary was great, and such a lovely way to discover beautiful Croatia. The swim stops were a definite highlight. The excursions we joined were fun and well organised. Almissa is a fantastic boat. Our cabin and bathroom were much more spacious and comfortable than we expected. The food on board was delicious. I asked for a dairy free diet and they were more than happy to accommodate. Finally, we had such a lovely group of people on board! It made the trip even more memorable. We would 100% recommend Sail Croatia. Thank you for an unforgettable holiday!
- Perrine, 07/07/2025 08:59,
Recently travelled Split to Dubrovnik with Dino and the Almissa crew. I had the best time. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and welcoming. Honest advice about outings and recommendations for each stop - not to mention incredible swims along the way. We ended up one big family. 10/10 would recommend!!
- Anonymous, 07/07/2025 07:56, Travelled with Family
Dino had very good recommendations for each stop we visited and a lot of knowledge on each place. Food was also really good as well and there was something different each day. The crew were also very friendly and helpful

We sailed from Split to Dubrovnik over 7 days on the Almissa.. An experience I will remember always, the team aboard the vessel were fantastic with their hospitality and knowledge. The scenery and locations we were taken to were truly amazing and made even more enjoyable with their hospitality knowledge shared by our host/guide Dino. The weather and other passengers was perfect which added to the week of fun and relaxation. Highly recommended Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a wonderful vacation.

Dino and the crew on the Almissa gave our family an unforgettable experience! Nothing was a problem for Dino and his honest feedback on tours and things to do was much appreciated! Thank you!

I was invited to join a 20th anniversary celebration cruise on the Salve di mare for my first cruise experience. First off, the crew was amazing! Klara as our cruise director took care of all the details in such a warm, funny and efficient way — I loved her history lessons and honest recommendations for excursions, dining and shopping. Our waiters/bartenders Marco and Vlagho worked so hard and were such fun! The boat was luxurious and spotless, and the variety of common areas (dining area, covered lounge, forward deck and sun deck )meant you never felt crowded. The food was delicious . I loved the itinerary and ship’s size! We had a great full breakfast, swam off the boat in the morning, sailed to our island stop, had scrumptious 3- course lunches, and then on our own. Because there were only 37 of us, we easily made new friends with whom the we would go off for excursions and dinner. Perfect trip for a non-planner!
- Diana , 06/07/2025 13:49, Travelled with Friend/s
Croatia is absolutely stunning and I cannot imagine a better way to explore the Dalmatian coast. The trip was a perfect mix of relaxing and activities. The daily swim stops were so much fun, with opportunity to kayak and paddle board. The crew were amazing and so attentive and Callum the tour leader was exceptional. He gave amazing advice and recommendations of places to visit for meals, points of interest and gelato! I met some incredible people and made friends for life. Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking of doing this.

My Sail Croatia vacation was fabulous. Dino was our tour guide and he had excellent information for us every step of our journey. 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.

My family and I were on an Explorer cruise recently with Dino aboard the Princeza Diana and it was an amazing time. The crew of the ship was great, very friendly, and knowledgeable. Dino, by far, exceeded our expectations of what any tour guide could offer. He was kind, friendly, interactive, and involved in the trip and helped make so many arrangements that we wouldn't have been able to make otherwise. We had someone who needed to visit a doctor while we were abroad and Dino assisted with scheduling a time and making sure they got to the location. The locations we visited were beautiful and the food was all amazing, both on and off the ship, and the recommendations Dino gave were great. I only wish we could have visited more. One of the great thing about a cruise on a ship this size is how close you get to and connect with the other people on board who also help to make the trip that much more special.

We had an absolute blast. We did the tour for my husbands 30th with some friends and the crew even baked a cake one day for him. The crew and Calum our guide were really great, always so helpful, organised, friendly and engaging. The cruise is a perfect blend of explore, swim, resting and reading and Ill recommend it to anyone. We were also privileged with great group of other travellers and made loads of new friends :) Thanks to Sail Croatia and Calum and his crew for a memorable holiday!

From the intimate feel of a small cruise ship and new friends made, to the very fun and friendly staff, to the incredible views and historical locations we visited, and the delicious cuisine that could be found everywhere - there was no trip I have ever had that compares. Lola was friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and honest about the locations and excursions, Captain Josif, Cezar, Kristina, Marco, and the rest of the Almissa staff were simply remarkable and deserve recognition for their customer service!

Great Boat (Slave Di Mare), Great Crew (thanks to Arian, Frane, Vlaho, Duje, Tina, Mario & Monica), Brilliant Cruise Director (thanks Klara), beautiful scenery, delicious food, comfortable cabin & endless swim stops in gorgeous turquoise bays. Thoroughly recommend

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!
- Holly, 01/07/2025 01:05, Travelled with Family
We were on the Salve di Marei in June, We had an absolute blast with Klara and the entire crew! Communication was great, the excursions were a bunch of fun. The boat was spotless and so relaxing. Would highly recommend.

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!!!

This cruise was the highlight of our 7 week Europe trip, we wouldn’t change a thing. The crew was amazing all so friendly and welcoming, food each day was faultless from the 2 amazing chefs. We made some Great friends from all around the world on this cruise ranging from 18-75. A massive shout out to our guide Dino, this guy made the trip. From our first meeting it felt like I had known him for years, his story’s, his organisation, direction and knowledge all was more than amazing and made life on the boat so easy knowing he will sort everything out for you, if you wanted a day experience he would book it arrange pick up and drop off from the boat, if you wanted tea Dino would organise that too. This guy was made for the job and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Would highly recommend this cruise and company and can’t wait to do it again.

The staff of our boat, including Dino as the key organizer and communicator, created a unique, fun-filled, and memorable trip! There was structure, but also flexibility infused, and the overnights in the beautiful ports were helpful for each group to make the trip their own - exploring, eating, indulging, etc. Loved everything and would highly recommend!
