We had a fabulous trip made special by being on the superb immaculate Katarina with an excellent crew. Our host from Sail Croatia was Kara who was outstanding at her job and made everyday a fun and enjoyable experience!

Just back from a fun-packed week on Katarina covering Split return south. Klara did a great job helping to organise onshore dining for the whole group. And the crew generally gave us a great time. Missoni Bar on Korcula was a highlight along with dinner at Mijet Island. Not forgetting the Captain's Dinner and the duo of guitarists, whose playing had everyone on the dance floor. This was my fourth visit to Croatia and has to be the best. I'll be back.

From start to finish the cruise and the staff exeeded our expectations , what a wonderful experience. We are already discussing our next cruise !!
- David, 10/06/2025 06:26, Travelled with Family
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!

This was an amazing holiday. A great way to see Croatia . The food was truly amazing. The staff were also amazing. We had such a great time and would sail with this company again .
- phyllis, 21/05/2025 13:22, Travelled with Family
A fantastic relaxing 7 nights on the Romantic Star, Elegance cruise. A brilliant way to see the Croatian islands. Excellent service on board from our Captain Ivan, all the crew and our Tour Manager, Ioanna, who put 150% into making sure we all had a good time. The food was delicious and from beginning to end we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Every detail had been carefully planned to make the holiday perfect. I’d like to do it again soon and will certain recommend Sail Croatia to my friends and family.
- Jessica, 14/05/2025 16:07, Travelled with Family
My ship was beautiful and the captain was clearly proud to have built it with his family. The accommodations were clean and spacious. Food was phenomenal. The guide was knowledgeable and honest - not just pushing sales or pressuring guests to use certain businesses. Croatia itself was welcoming and gorgeous. An island bike ride was a high point as was a local farm to table dinner.
- Stacey, 13/05/2025 18:56, Travelled Solo
Cruise and Croatia was great. More than I expected. Never bored, the week flew by, plenty of food, little to complain about!
- Bobbi, 13/05/2025 13:25, Travelled with Family
The ship is a classic beauty nicely updated. The service,crew and food superb. Vicko our rep, always kept us well informed and did a great job. Well organised and well planned 7 days cruise. An unmissable experience!
- Edgar , 13/05/2025 13:09, Travelled Solo
From the moment I met Karolina and a few other passengers quayside at Split I felt welcome and comfortable. (I am 73 and travel solo). Over lunch we were given a full orientation about the ship and the week ahead: scheduled swim stops, shore excursions, meal times etc. My fellow passengers were a great mix of personalities, from reserved to more lively and we all got on so well (lucky/blessed). The Captain and crew, from front of house and in the background were efficient and fun. Special mention goes to our Cruise Director Karolina whose care and attention to detail were exceptional! We had the opportunity to swim every day which I did despite the water temperature, hence my given cruise name!! I can’t recommend this company/trip highly enough! Croatia is the most beautiful country; the people who live there are lovely (nearly everyone understands English), its history, food and wine absolutely great.

The Country and Croatia were beautiful. The Yacht we were on Olympia, was beyond our expectations. The service, food, staff were excellent. After taking several cruises, Our cruise director Dino, was the best we have ever had. He made our trip. We will loook to sail with you company again after this cruise.

We sailed the Dalmatian islands off the coast of Croatia on board the luxury cruise yacht Olimp. The accommodation was exceptional comfortable and roomy. Captain Jure and the crew of the Olimp were outstanding, providing an awesome experience, while cruise representative Vedran took great care of us explaining (each day) historic/cultural significance of each port we stopped at and leading us in some of our on-shore tours. Even though our cruse was in late September / early October we still managed to stop periodically in quiet coves to swim and enjoy the waters of the Adriatic.
- Donald, 18/10/2024 15:09, Travelled with Family
Sailed on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik and back. It was great to visit some smaller destinations. We were extremely well looked after by all the crew. A special mention has to go to our guide Ioana who brought her energy every day.
- Wendy, 16/10/2024 08:13, Travelled with Family
The other passengers were lovely and kind. The staff were very professional and helpful. Ivana was a brilliant Tour Manager too.
- Julie Bozicevic , 15/10/2024 15:36, Travelled Solo
We travelled up the Croatian Coast in Oct. 2024. The trip was simply terrific. The itinerary was first rate, the crew could not do enough to accommodate us, the ship was beautiful, and the food was better than restaurants. Overall we are recommending this type of travel, with Sail Croatia, to all of our friends.
- Anonymous, 15/10/2024 02:27, Travelled with Family
The ship was comfortable and quite luxurious. Staff were very helpful and always pleasant The food was excellent. Congratulations to the chefs The cabin was cleaned daily and towels and bedding changed. Well done to the maid The captain changed the route when necessary to enjoy a safe venue and sheltered areas to swim. Being able to use the drop down platform enabled me to enjoy the daily swim stop. I would not have been able to do the swimming without it. Captain and crew did everything to enhance our experience. The travel guide V was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour. All in all a very positive and memorable trip. I woul highly recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you Sail Croatia and staff of Olimp.
- Jean, 14/10/2024 10:05, Travelled with Family
Great trip, wonderful scenery, super food, amazing tour guide (Karolina), friendly staff, and helpful sales team (we had to postpone our original trip for a year due to a knee replacement)..
- Peter, 08/10/2024 15:01, Travelled with Family
From the first day to the last day everything went as planned, the areas we visited were fantastic. The food on board was great and the staff were all very nice and helpful. Would definitely do a cruise with you again.
- Stephen, 05/10/2024 23:50, Travelled with Family
Not sure where to even start - we had smiles on our faces from the moment we were greeted by our cruise rep for the trip, Vedran. He made us feel welcome and we knew we were in a fabulous trip! The staff of 7 (not including Vedran and Captain Gordan) did everything they could to make our 7 days the best they could ever be. Everyday we went to a new island full of beauty unlike anything we've ever seen! Vedran gave us some much education, information and recommendations at each location which was extremely helpful! His passion for Croatia is infectious! Our room was cleaned every morning by sweet Ella (a thank less job but very appreciated). Our room was very comfortable - we opted for a room on the lower level and it was perfect! The chefs - Frane and Ana, created a lovely breakfast and delicious, large lunches every day and they were great! Our waiters/baretenders - Tomo and Pamela - were so professional and so fun to get to know. I miss everyone so much! Until next time.
- Cristina, 20/09/2024 18:05, Travelled with Family
Mia, the team leader, and all of the crew. Together with the captain the made the whole experience. The captain navigated to ensure we missed nothing on our itinerary. We are looking to book another cruise next year.
- Catherine , 17/09/2024 06:14, Travelled with Family
Honestly every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming. Karolina was amazing and so warm.. we happened to board with a fantastic group of travellers all very kind and friendly. The boat is very comfortable and clean. The daily swims and perfect weather the cherry on the top.

Beautiful weather, fantastic crew and such a perfect start to our adventure. Couldn’t fault anything
- Cathy, 10/09/2024 05:25, Travelled with Family
I could not have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. The crew were wonderful, especially the guest co-ordinator Karolina. The boat is beautiful, clean and well appointed. The ports we visited were beautiful and each offered a unique experience. The daily swim stops were stunning and really made each day wonderful. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone needing a break or wanting to see and learn about beautiful Croatia. I hope to come back and do it again.

Everything about our Elegance Cruise on Olimp was 5 star with wonderful staff, dining and ship facilities. The swim platform on our boat was the best we saw in Croatia. Wouldn’t hesitate to return on another trip.
- Beth, 26/08/2024 07:21, Travelled with Family
The Olimp and its crew were amazing, friendly and attentive . The yacht is gorgeous and the whole experience exceeded my expectation. The daily swims were fabulous, the daily lunches delicious and the excursions that Mia recommended were a lot of fun. Fellow passengers were a lot of fun and made it memorable as well. Thanks again to a wonderful captain George, his crew and Mia!! Looking forward to another trip in the future.

- Jose Pereira, 20/08/2024 15:39, Travelled with Family
Everything about this trip was better than I could have hoped for. The boat, the cabins and amenities were excellent. But what made it extra special were the dedicated team onboard who went out of their way to make our holiday a memorable occasion. The cooking was superb, the team serving us were amazing, the captain and crew the best. The swim stops each day were a big highlight and a magical experience. The islands each had their own charm. I felt so well looked after on this holiday. Another bonus was the great mix of similar age groups on the boat. I would definitely recommend this boat and team. A special callout to our Tour Manager, Ioana, who made it all happen, incredible co-ordination and management skills plus a charming personality to match. Great job Ioana and team. Thank you, Sail Croatia, until next time!

Ten person adult family trip - wonderful way to see the best of Croatia. Cities of Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Split as well as smaller island villages. Balanced blend of excursions and free time to explore. Enjoyed our time, met people from Australia, England, and the US, and have already recommended Sail Croatia to family and friends considering a holiday in Croatia. Excellent staff (Mia) and ship crew,
- Mike, 14/08/2024 11:44, Travelled with Family
We were blown away by the ship, our room, all the amenities, the places we stopped, the food, etc., but mostly the personnel. Our guide/coordinator Barbara was wonderful. She answered all of our questions and concerns quickly, she was very friendly and competent. For anyone looking for a great experience they should take advantage of what Sail Croatia has to offer.
- Glen, 06/08/2024 14:48, Travelled with Family
Cruise delivered as promised, a trip that had something for everyone and we were very happy with our decision to go with Sail Croatia! Vedran, our cruise director kept everything running like clockwork from the airport transfers to the excursions, responding to questions right away and making it all appear effortless though I am sure behind the scenes this was not easy! The other crew were very cheery the entire week and the ship was very clean. The chefs made us custom omelettes each morning for breakfast which were delicious! We also enjoyed getting to know the other travelers on the boat who were very friendly and nice. Would recommend to others looking for this type of experience.

Esperanza is a beautiful boat, with excellent crew who were so friendly and attentive in just the right way. My holiday was dreamy, a time to enjoy every moment, it was great fun, full of surprises and all set within the beauty of the Dalmatian Islands. Our guide was great fun and a mine of information, and the food was really lovely. It was nice to escape sometimes to our cool cabin as we travelled through a heatwave. Thank you to everyone who made my holiday so very special.
- Joan, 23/07/2024 18:23, Travelled with Family
My solo cabin was clean and comfortable, with an outside door to let in the breeze and hang clothes outside. Air conditioning was strong. Food at breakfast and lunch were fantastic and Vedran’s recommendations for dinner and drinks were spot on. The smaller ship allowed us to have magical swim stops every day and explore small islands. Each day varied depending on the island, with some days more chill and others full of sightseeing or hikes. I was traveling solo but we had an incredibly warm and inclusive group of travelers from different generations. The smaller setting and a week together made it easy to connect.
- Evelyn, 23/07/2024 10:09, Travelled Solo
Everything met or exceeded expectations. The team looked after us superbly. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Having been on larger cruise ships we were looking forward to trying out a smaller one. The rooms were just as nice if not better, the service was incredible, and we found it's much much nicer swimming in the crystal clear Adriatic Sea than a crowded cruise ship swimming pool. We also found getting around to all areas of the cruise ship took seconds not minutes. Our 7-Day Cruise was the perfect amount of time for exploring the nearby coastline and islands. We were left with many wonderful memories and would highly recommend this cruise to anyone interested in visiting Dubrovnik and the surrounding islands.

The Esperanza crew were absolutely amazing, Ivana was fantastic at organising all our tours and information for our stops . I would highly recommend this cruise for solo travellers as it is small group and easy to socialise The food was excellent also,
- Lynda, 02/07/2024 09:27, Travelled Solo
As my first experience in a cruise, to share my holidays with people I was meeting for the first time, was a challenge. Ivana, our guide, and the crew worked things out wonderfully and ensured that we all had a great experience. Visiting many Croatia’s best cities by boat and swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea has been an unforgettable experience!
- Anonymous, 02/07/2024 07:37, Travelled with Family
Ivana: Great Guide! Professional crew, discreetly watching every detail, even passengers while in swim stops. A lot of hard work behind the scene to ensure that we all had a wonderful time! Congratulations!

Our Sail Croatia trip was the perfect way for my husband and I to holiday with my parents for a week. Our Dubrovnik to Split trip on the beautiful Queen Jelena boat is a trip we will never forget. The staff were amazing, with special mention going to our wonderful host Mia. Mia had 37 passengers to look after, yet made us all feel special and well looked after. We were so lucky to have her as our host. The food was outstanding and the scenery wonderful. Loved our daily swims when our captain found a beautiful spot to anchor up for a few hours. Magic memories made, thank you Sail Croatia.

This was a family cruise I decided to take my family on to celebrate my 80th birthday.

Sail Croatiashould be very pleased to have her. Last but not least , thank you to all at Sail Croatia UK office who answered my questions promptly and gave out all the relevant necessary information at the right times so I was fully aware of all aspects leading up to our cruise. FANTASTIC, STUNNING and I have no hesitation in recommending Sail Croatia to all my friends. Now it’s DIET time !!!!!!!. Philip Watson

We spent a week on the OLIM boat on the Elegance Dubrovnik return itinerary. The boat was beautiful, and the experience was fantastic. The crew was outstanding. The cruise director, Vedran was wonderful. Our Captain and the chef were outstanding. The food was great. We loved cruising in the morning which gave us most of the day and all evening to explore our destinations. We were able to find great dinner spots that gave us a beautiful view of the sunset over the Adriatic Sea. . We bonded with the other passengers on the ship almost immediately. We became close friends. Creating a strong bond between all of us only enhanced our experience. I would highly recommend this cruise.

Travelling solo for the first time in years was always going to be an adventure but I knew the intimate feel of this holiday would work for me. Lovely fresh food, Vedran our attentive coordinator and the whole crew and guests made me feel very included on this Split North tour capturing so many UNESCO gems. The weather was kind, the sleeping quarters very well sound proofed and the shower fab! My nut allergy was carefully catered for and Stella and Boris' cocktails divine! I didn't turn the TV on once and the walking tours helped me burn off those varied meals prepared by the two chefs. All staff were approachable and took feedback seriously. Krka Falls was so lovely in the last week of May and teeming with wildlife. The swim stops ticked off dolphins, flying fish, 2 species of starfish and sea urchins plus was amazing to see a decent sized octopus and cuttlefish outside of an aquarium. Comparing Olimp to similar vessels we were clearly very blessed! Thank you Sail Croatia!
