A great week

We loved our weeklong cruise from SPLIT to DUBROVNIK on ESPERANZA. Everything about it was simply wonderful. The staff and crew were amazing, the chef and food delicious, the swim locations and ports were wonderful. Two suggestions: get better and stronger coffee without asking for extra payments—everyone on board was very unhappy with the quality. Also….hooks in the bedroom sections of the cabins for a quick hang up of clothes rather than the wardrobe. Bathrooms had hooks but the main section of the cabins could use them as well. .

Bliss

We couldn't have enjoyed the Sail Croatia cruise more. The planning and food were exquisite. The swim stops in post card settings and quaint villages to stroll through everyday were a delight. Plus the way the group gelled together I believe helped with the enjoyment of the cruise. Already thinking about the next.

Wonderful trip

So so lovely aboard Olimp. Great swim stops every day with easy and safe access to the sea. Super 3 course lunches served beautifully. Comfy seating and lounging areas all around the boat and comfortable cabins. Thanks Sail Croatia for our 2nd holiday with you.

Fabulous cruise

We had a wonderful cruise that we thoroughly enjoyed. Dino our tour guide was excellent, always helpful and always smiling. The captain Handsome George was a pleasure, the crew were great especially the girls Elle, Linda and Nicoletta. The cruise schedule was perfect with a morning swim stop every day and the afternoons in beautiful towns. We highly recommend this cruise.

Perfection!

We have been all over the world and had some amazing experiences from dogsledding in Alaska, riding the Rocky Mountaineer through Canada and walking the Camino through Spain but nothing will ever top this cruise. Our ship had just 15 other guests who were all wonderful friendly people. Every meal was a taste sensation and every day was filled with swimming in clear blue 27° water, visiting magnificent villages and experiencing a wonderfully vibrant part of the world. Thank you to Sail Croatia!

Ultimate Croatian Cruise!

Our cruise holiday was idyllic from every standpoint! The Olimp luxury yacht offered a most unique cruise experience which felt very singular. We were indulged with a daily dip in the Adriatic’s crystalline and refreshing waters in tiny private coves where we could swim, snorkel or paddle board. It was a true highlight! The smaller cruise format allowed passengers to forge a more intimate interaction with one another which truly made for a memorable sail. The crew worked tirelessly in preparing gourmet fare, cocktails and catering to our every whim while maintaining an immaculate ship. Our Tour Director, Dino with his mega watt smile was always most eager to address any issues, offer tips and make solid resto recommendations - unfailingly! We thoroughly enjoyed our family cruise through the splendid Dalmatian coast - a 5-star experience!

Great destinations

We loved the destinations we went to and the daily swim spots selected by the Captain. We were very impressed with the great service we received from our cruise director Klara. She made sure all our needs were met in s friendly, cheerful manner

Great Crew, Accommodation, Hospitality and Excursions

From boarding to disembarking a week later, I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful service, good food and attention delivered by the crew on the Katrina. The itinerary was great offering a relaxing week with daily swim stops (with paddle boards and kayaking) and afternoon / evening excursions. Just a great trip and I wouldn’t hesitate doing it again.

16.08.26 Katarina

Outstanding vacation, a lovely boat, amazing crew and fabulous guests to share our time and yes Nikos was great too. I would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia, my wife and I felt sad to be leaving, but have new friends and lovely memories.

Sail Croatia

My husband and I traveled to Croatia ,to see the country of my maternal grandparents. It was an incredible experience! The people of Croatia are helpful and welcoming. Many people speak excellent English which helps when asking for directions. The cities we visited were easily accessible along the Croatian coastline. There were some places that were challenging to access, due to stairs. We were able to climb at our own pace. The small ship, Olimp, was lovely, clean and comfortable. I appreciated the fact that if I was tired, or the weather was too hot, I could return to the ship and relax . After breakfast, we swam in a small cove everyday. What made the trip even more enjoyable, was meeting fellow passengers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. I absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience Croatia.

- Rita, 25/08/2026 12:41, Travelled with Family

Unexpected

I booked the trip because Croatia was on my bucket list and they were waiving the single supplement on a few sailings. We were a small group which made it a more intimate experience. My cabin was spacious and very comfortable. Our cruise director Lola was a dream. Very organized, kind and patient. The crew performed their jobs invisibly. The ports were all interesting but my favorite was the daily swim stops. Jump into the Adriatic sea and swim for an hour! The cruise was incredibly relaxing! The chef did a stellar job feeding us a healthy Mediterranean diet with decadent desserts.Can't recommend this trip enough!

- Heather, 25/08/2026 10:24, Travelled Solo

Amazing experience and service.

The vessel, the staff, the food and the swim stops were absolutely amazing. This is a must do experience if you are visiting Croatia. Highly recommend. 5 stars all round.

Best holiday I have ever had!

Everything was amazing, staff, swim stops, food and excursions, cabins, islands. I would do this again in a heart beat they made us feel very spoilt and well looked after we had a great group of people and made new life long friends.

- Marion, 25/08/2026 06:46, Travelled with Family

Fantastic

This was the first cruise we have done and turned out to be one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Everything was great. I was very fortunate to join with a fantastic group of people (28 in total) and we had the best time. The breakfast every morning was fresh. The 3 course lunch was always a treat and the Captains dinner was wonderful. The crew were all amazing. Cabins were larger than I was expecting and kept clean. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

- Judy, 25/08/2026 05:54, Travelled in a Couple

Loved it

Our cruise was the hilight of our 5 week Europe holiday.

Wonderful Experience!

This was our first small ship cruise, accompanied by another couple (friends) who have been on lots of larger cruises, four of us did not know what to expect. On arrival, our tour guide Lola was very professional & welcoming which continued throughout the entire cruise! The boat (Romantic Star) was beautiful, clean & well maintained with all creature comforts. Our Captain and all crew were very pleasant and accommodating. Scenery of course was amazing!! Was lovely to be able to come and go from the boat when docked without being on time restraints, allowing us to explore each port at our own leisure or, take part in one of the many excursions both included and paid. For thrill seekers looking to go offroad on ATV tour we don't recommend as all roads are sealed and we felt price was a little expensive for what the tour included. Overall, we highly recommend anyone to Sail Croatia with Sail Croatia as we will again in the future!

Chasing sunsets and morning swims

We had the best experience n memories from this cruise ! It’s the first time we have ever done a small cruise like this ! It’s the prefect way to learn more about Croatia ! We loved the fact that we docked in a new town/ island every night where we can discover or do an activity during the day and find a place for dinner ! breakfasts are provided And a 3 course lunch ! The meals were all very nicely Presented and always hot ! In this cruise we also had a very fun captains dinner and a village dinner ! We loved the lamb pekka - still dreaming of how tasty it was ! Our cabin was very comfortable as we were very lucky to get the one in front and we had ample room and very comfortable! 1 thing that can be improved is to put an electrical fan in the cabin as the air con was not strong enough ! kudos must be given to the cleanliness of the Katarina boat ! crew is constantly cleaning and I have not seen a cleaner boat .. and finally the crew ! Thank you to captain Ivan, Goran, Ivana n Nikos

Beyond expectations

It was so much better than we expected! Everything from the crew to the swim stops to the food was SO GOOD! Lola was an exceptional tour director!

- Cindy, 19/08/2026 15:22, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing time!

We had the most amazing week onboard Romantic Star. The crew were great, captained by Ivan. Our tour guide, Lola, couldn’t have been better. She was helpful, informative, great knowledge, spoke brilliant English and had a great sense of humour - all necessary for the group of passengers she was looking after! The choice and range of islands we visited were perfect. All different and all enjoyable. The excursions were fantastic too. The swim stops were one of my favourite parts of every day - such beautiful places chosen to stop. We were lucky with the group of passengers on the boat - all lovely people and super fun! We really hope we can return for another cruise one day. We’ve fallen in love with Croatia. Having never been before, the mini-ship cruise was the perfect introduction to this stunning country. Thank you Sail Croatia!

An amazing Experience onboard the Katarina

We had the most amazing time on our Sail Croatia cruise and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of the biggest highlights was waking up each day and heading to a new, beautiful swimming spot — crystal-clear water, incredible scenery and the perfect way to spend each day. We also loved the people we met along the way. Sharing the experience with such a wonderful group made the trip even more special. But what really stood out was the amazing crew. Their care, attention and pride in looking after the boat was exceptional. They worked incredibly hard to keep everything running smoothly and the boat in beautiful condition, while always making everyone feel welcome and looked after. It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish, and we would absolutely recommend Sail Croatia. We’ve come home with some fantastic memories and friendships that we’ll treasure. ❤️

Loved our 7 day cruise

Amazing 7 days from Split to Dubrovnik.. great combination of locations … terrific onboard experience, from the crew, food & beverage and boat. A major highlight was the swim stops.. our week was a true relaxing and slow travel journey 🙏🏻

Fantastic trip

A fabulous experience travelling through the islands off the coast of Croatia. Very relaxing, great group of people, food was great and our Cruise guide Lola was fabulous keeping us informed always. Visited some beautiful islands, great old towns and national parks. Really enjoyed.

Split to Dubrovnik

We had an amazing time on the romantic star, and Lola was outstanding, informative, and helpful as our guide throughout the entire trip. The crew and the captain were very professional and assisted us in every way possible. The chef made some incredible lunches and breakfast was good as well. We definitely will return and the friends we made on the trip will last a lifetime.

Fantastic excursion

Sail Croatia provides a 5-star experience. Communication is good before and during the trip, boat crew were fabulous, and Croatia is beautiful.

- Janet, 11/08/2026 11:46, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent Croatian Cruise.

We enjoyed this holiday from beginning to end! Croatia is absolutely beautiful, and our cruise on The Katarina was amazing. From the ship and crew to the organization, food, drinks, service, and cabin, everything was perfect. The opportunity to sail Croatia was truly unforgettable. They thought of everything, and we felt completely pampered throughout the entire trip. We would highly recommend this experience!

Romantic Star

After a last minute booking on the Romantic Star we had a fantastic week meeting new friends and seeing the sights in perfect weather. The crew were delightful and the food was delicious.

Happy solo traveler

Had a wonderful time on the Romatic Star. It was my first time traveling alone. I felt safe at all times and the staff was always there if you needed any assistance. I will definitely be back to see the rest of Croatia.

Best vacation ever! “V” and the rest of the staff were top notch! You must DO IT!

- Brad, 28/07/2026 23:09, Travelled in a Couple

Beautiful Croatia!

Our trip on board the Katarina was much more than we had imagined! The boat was so comfortable with lots of space to spread out or cozy when you wanted to be with others. The staff were so friendly and helpful and always smiling despite the many hours they were putting in. Our guide “V”. Was so sweet and funny and very knowledgeable! He briefed us on all the islands! “I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE AND I OWE IT ALL TO YOU”” lol

Sail Croatia with Dino

Every aspect of this holiday is great - the crew, the itinerary, the food , the relaxation around the secluded swim areas and the differing coastline destination culture & vibe. We were incredibly fortunate to have a great bunch of fellow travellers . Best of all was Dino our lead as he was fantastic in going above and beyond to make special arrangements for my husband who has a lung condition so that he did not miss out on any adventure. Overall a highly recommended week of relaxation where everything is done for you and your brain can just switch off .

Dino

It beat expectations and Dino was a great host. He helped make excursions easier for a family member whose health started to decline, which was much appreciated. The cruise was awesome and he made it unforgettable. Thanks Dino! We miss you. The crew were friendly and I felt at home on the boat.

- Anonymous, 28/07/2026 19:19, Travelled with Family

Great tour but could be improved

Dino was a very good tour leader, esp. nominating specific restaurants to eat evening meals at on each island we frequented. The crew were attentive, the cabin cleaning staff were top notch. Swim stops were great. Food was good but there seemed to be an extensive use of puréed vegetables! Music played non stop inside the boat even if no one was there? Still, a good experience.

Amazing trip. Boat was clean, crew was professional friendly helpful. Food was good and plentiful. Dino the cruise manager was amazing.. we were on the Romantoc Star from Split to Dubrovnik.

- steve, 28/07/2026 09:32, Travelled with Family

Perfect in every way!

We decided to cruise with Sail Croatia again this year as we had enjoyed our holiday so much last year. We sailed on the Katarina this time of and have to say our trip was faultless! The cabin, food and company were amazing and this was our best experience of cruising to date. The itinerary took us to fabulous new places and swim stops so it felt completely different. Above all we have to praise the captain and crew. They work so hard to keep everything smooth running and spotless clean. A true luxury experience from start to finish. Particular thanks to Ivana and everyone for making our anniversary celebrations so special! The chef must be a genius to make such a delicious cake onboard. We will definitely be back!! Sorry we can't mention everyone by name but thank you all, not forgetting our cruise director Vedran? for such a special time. Xx

Room for Improvement

The food needs to improve.

- Anonymous, 28/07/2026 05:00, Travelled in a Couple

Excelent cruise with the room to be exceptionaly best!

The cruise from Split to Dubrovnik on the Romantic Star yacht was wonderful. To take things step by step: a beautiful yacht, a comfortable and cozy cabin, and impeccable cleanliness and order maintained on board. Dino, the tour manager, was exceptionally caring—always ready to help, explain, and go above and beyond for the guests' well-being. The entire crew worked efficiently, seamlessly, and unobtrusively. Everything was simply great. However, it could have reached an even higher standard if not for the food on board. There is definitely room for improvement here. Can what is shown in the photo really be called a salad? Also, given the high price of such a short cruise, the company wouldn't go broke providing a bottle of drinking water in the guests' cabins every day. To repeat, everything was five-star, but it could be truly unforgettable with better food quality and a few extra small touches.

- Yuliy, 28/07/2026 03:49, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing!

We absolutely LOVED our time with Sail Croatia. The communication, itinerary and service provided was incredible. Our cruise director, Dino, was very helpful, knowledgable and fun. We would highly recommend!

- Cecilia, 27/07/2026 17:30, Travelled with Family

Take me back!

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Queen Jelena! Everything was top notch and everyone talked about how it was one of the best vacations that we have ever taken. Our cruise director Dino went out of his way to make sure every guest was taken care of and he really ensured everything was great! I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole crew. My favorite part was the swim stops, such a pleasure to swim right from the boat in beautiful locations.

- Eric, 25/07/2026 10:37, Travelled with Family

Fantastic week

One of the best holidays ever, great crew, great locations and the best was the great fellow travelers.

- Arnoldus and Lucy, 25/07/2026 02:29, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic

Travelled on the Katarina from Split to Dubrovnik. From the initial booking, customer service when emailing with a question, to last minutes on the ship, you are looked after. The ship is in pristine condition, the crew and rep make you feel at home and the food excellent. The bonus was we met a fantastic bunch of people. Having never done a cruise we didn’t know what to expect but everything is organised, the rep gives a daily itinerary of sailing times, excursions, things to do, places to eat etc to help with your planning and the daily swim spots are breathtaking. Looking forward to our next one.

Best part of our European holiday

The Croatian cruise from Split to Dubrovnik was the highlight of our recent European holiday. The cruise was a great way to explore the Croatian islands, taste the local cuisine, and share the experience with like-minded travelers. The boat and crew were amazing throughout. Highly recommended!

Beyond the blue: a Croatian Experience to Remember

Our Sail Croatia cruise exceeded every expectation. While the stunning Croatian coastline and crystal-clear Adriatic waters speak for themselves, it was the people who transformed a great holiday into an unforgettable experience. From day one, our tour leader Viko and the entire crew were incredibly warm, welcoming and genuinely committed to ensuring everyone had the best possible time. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Their enthusiasm, friendliness and willingness to go the extra mile created an atmosphere that was relaxed, fun and inclusive. Each island had its own unique character, offering a wonderful variety of history, culture, scenery and local experiences. Every stop felt different, making each day a new adventure while showcasing the incredible beauty of Croatia. The food throughout the cruise was excellent, with delicious meals that complemented the relaxed onboard atmosphere perfectly. And to top it off we had loads of fun with our fellow travellers - amazing group.

- John, 23/07/2026 08:15, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent Cruise!

This was an excellent cruise. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, the daily swims from the boat, the breakfasts and the superb help and guidance in any and all matters from our assigned guide, Dino, The Queen Jelena is an excellent boat. Our only suggestions for improvement would be better ventilation in the bathrooms and the availability of simple laundry service while on board.
