My husband andI traveled with another couple. We had a wonderful week. It was our first cruise and I was apprehensive. For me, the small number of people was essential. We were lucky that the other travelers were all kind and fun. And our leader, Anita, was terrific. Always eager to help, fun to talk with and very knowledgaable about so many aspects of being in Croatia.

My entire experience was wonderful, from the meticulously maintained ship, to the cooks who accommodated my dietary requests, to the excursions we did on land. A special shout out to our Tour Manager, Iolana, who did a fabulous job organizing, communicating, and overseeing everything we needed. Thank you, Sail Croatia for a fabulous week!!

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.

Small number of people on board, plus great villages and stops along the way. Service by the staff was exceptional.

We cruised from Dubrovnik to Split in early June and loved the experience. Vedran, Yuri, Evo, Almira and the rest of the crew made the trip so special. The ship was impeccable, the breakfast and lunches were wonderful, the swim stops were chilly but fun and the excursions were worth it. Vedran’s daily briefings were informative but also had us all laughing. Wonderful group of travelers on our boat. Met the best people. Was already getting crowded as this is a popular area. I would strongly recommend Sail Croatia especially the Olimp!
- Keith, 11/06/2025 05:37, Travelled with Friend/s
Our time on Olimp was absolutely fantastic right from the start. Everything on the boat was first class, including the meals and we can’t praise the crew highly enough, they really made our trip.

What a super trip!! Captain, Mia and the rest of the crew had such attention to detail! Chef nailed every meal, delicious food!!! Trip exceeded my expectations!! This trip should be on everyone's bucket list!

Forget those huge cruise ships THIS is the way to travel. Vendrán our guide always made perfect suggestions but you can do as much or as little as you want. Great swim stops every day and lovely clean cabin and boat made for a comfortable week. With fresh cooked food and only 18 on board this was a revelation. I will be booking again. Loved it!
- Lori, 04/06/2025 10:43, Travelled with Friend/s
Mia and the crew of the Olimp made our second trip on the Olimp as good as the first! Beautiful country, people and boat. Truly outstanding!
- Janice, 03/06/2025 10:40, Travelled with Friend/s
I can't fault a thing. Boat and cabin were so clean and comfortable. Food was amazing. Atmosphere and company were brilliant. A big shout out to The Captain and each and every member of staff who gave us a holiday to remember, especially Karolina and Tina. Many thanks. X

Our tour director, Vedran, and Esperanza's crew provided us with a great experience both on board and on shore. Their hospitality was exceptional, as they made every effort to ensure our experience was outstanding. Passengers from 4 different countries made the trip even more delightful. The weather was perfect for exploring the islands. Food was excellent both on the ship and at our ports of call. Although the May water temperature was cool, swimming off the back of the Esperanza was a daily ritual that made our trip even more memorable. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Overall, it was a fantastic experience; I highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful week aboard Esperanza May 18 to 25. Our ship guide, Vedran ('V') was just the best in managing our group of 34 persons; V was an excellent communicator, readily available and always helpful. V kept us laughing and was so much fun, seeming to really enjoy his job. The ship was beautifully appointed; the rooms were spacious with great showers and lots of storage. We appreciated the rooms being cleaned early every day. We also really appreciated the ease of entering and exiting the sea from the ship during our daily swim stops . The quantity and quality of the food was perfect, beautifully presented and professionally served. Hats off to all of the onboard ship staff! We really liked the balance of ship and shore time, feeling that we had a relaxing time but also learned about the local history. The only 2 things we might have liked were an extra salad bar al lunch (long line up for salad) and possibly an optional drink package. Thank you Sail Croatia.

The cruise defied all expectations! The staterooms are comfortable, bathrooms and hairdryers, towels all perfect. Our Crew was amazing—they work hard and were exceedingly generous and kind. Our guide, Ioana, was smart and funny, thoughtful and dependable. The ship Olimp was bougie, bougie. Seriously, we are sailboaters and had no idea how beautiful the Olimp would be. Gleaming! Our group of 8 made fast friends with all of our other traveling companions. Lots of laughter and joviality.❤️ five stars isn’t enough!

I would give Sail Croatia two thumbs up, 10 out of 10, 100% — or whatever else I can say to express just how amazing this experience was! The cruise was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The crew was top notch — friendly, professional, and always going above and beyond. The food was nothing short of spectacular, with delicious meals that exceeded all expectations. It was truly an unforgettable trip, and I can't say enough great things about the entire experience. If you're thinking about booking with Sail Croatia, do it — you won’t regret it!

Organization, correspondence, accommodations on the boat, and our guide who stayed on the boat and delivered daily short information talks with us were all superb. A couple suggestions.... The village dinner in our Dubrovnik to Split sailing was bery disappointing. Main course definitely weak and very ordinary...pasta with very little beef bits. Also it was so loud in there due to very poor acoustics you could barely have a conversation with the people right across from you. The bedding on our beds on the boat was ok but you should add a second or thicker blanket
- Sandi, 27/05/2025 14:21, Travelled with Friend/s
My partner and I recently sailed with Sail Croatia alongside a group of 20 friends and acquaintances—and what an unforgettable experience it was! From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear we were in for something truly special. The other passengers onboard became fast friends. There was a wonderful sense of camaraderie and shared adventure that made every moment even more enjoyable. The crew were outstanding—professional, warm, and attentive. The food was consistently amazing, and the itinerary struck the perfect balance: breakfast and lunch onboard, with plenty of time to explore the stunning ports each day. A special shoutout to our program director, "V," who was a truly delightful human being and played a big role in making this one of the most memorable vacations we’ve ever had. Highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized adventure!

The four of us set out to Croatia from Canada via Prague. From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us with humour and. Assistance. The entire trip we were able to relax and enjoy the wonderful cruise and scenic views. It was a wonderful way to spend my 50th birthday with my spouse and best friends. Throughout the cruise we were updated about excursions and opportunities to visit sites.

From the moment we stepped onboard it was a surreal experience. Our fabulous cruise director Ioana was so much fun very informative and helpful and was super engaged with all the passengers and crew alike. The rest of the crew were fantastic Evo and Al keeping us well hydrated and the Chef and Sous Chef served us delicious food everyday. We loved all the islands we stopped at and swims along the way were great fun. Finally Captain George was very approachable and we felt we were in very safe hands … we loved the Captain’s dinner and hearing all about the history of the Olimp and his boating background. Highly recommend this ship and cruise and would love to be back on board thanks to all the crew 🤩

We were able to reserve your beautiful Esperanza to include all all of our friends (sold out). Best 7 days! The crew was outstanding. Service, bartenders, chef, captain and the deck hands were truly amazing!
- Rene, 14/05/2025 20:13, Travelled with Friend/s
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
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!

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.

I organized this trip 14 months ago in Feb 0f 2024 for 37 of my nearest and dearest to travel for a week on The WIne Cruise Esperanza . This exceeded all expectations !! From the boat , the crew , the food the excursions and wine tastings and of course our Cruise Manager Mia was outstanding . I can't say enough about how wonderful everything was every day . It was late April and the beauty was that it was early in the season so the weather was perfect and it was not real crowded wherever we were . All the little islands are different and have their own personality . I can't recommend this enough and think everyone should add Croatia to their list of places to visit

It was a wonderful adventure to a region of this world I had not considered venturing to before. The ship took great care of us on board and Mia, our official cat herder, did a fantastic job of steering us through a series of wonderful excursions focused both on culture, as well as the local vineyards!

What an adventure! Sailing on the Olimp was fantastic. First, the cruise leader, Ioana. Wow. Dynamic, organized, fun. Not sure the cruise would have been the same without her leading the way. The ship itself was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was helpful to make sure all our needs were met. Beautiful destinations and fun history tours. Even though we were traveling with friends, the new friends we made helped make things even better. Would be happy to go again.

This trip was wonderful from beginning to end. Croatia is a beautiful country and we were able to enjoy it both on land and while cruising the Adriatic. The ship, Queen Jelena, was our comfortable floating hotel. The cabin/bath were a good size ( the bed a wee bit hard) and the ship's common areas offered various areas to sit, lounge, meet friends or just enjoy being on the sea. The food was delicious, the crew was fantastic and incredibly hard working, the wine tastings and cultural experiences were lots of fun. Our trip manager Ivan was absolutely top notch. The small group size made it easy to mingle with the other guests which made the experience even richer (although a list of guest names and name tags for the crew, at least initially, would have been helpful for getting acquainted the first few days. I would highly recommend the Sail Croatia wine cruise.

The ship, Olmp, was immaculate and the crew always helpful. With only 36 passengers the experience was very personal and we were fortunate to have a very interesting and homogenous group . The meals served were all delicious but the service was a little too efficient for me. I prefer a slower pace while eating. The only meal that I would avoid n the future is the so called "BBQ". Definitely not up t the chefs usually high standards. The Sail Croatia cruise is a great way to sample all that Croatia has to offer. Our cruise director, Ioana, added another dimension to our touring experience. We all had a wonderful and educational experience on the cruise
- Jay, 22/10/2024 08:22, Travelled with Friend/s
Even before we started our cruise, Sail Croatia’s service was exceptional. They provided us with a complimentary pick up from the airport, and if we had have been going straight home, they would have provided an airport drop off too. This attention to detail continued right through our cruise. We did a Wine Cruise, which I believe is fairly new to the itinerary, but you’d never have know because it was so well planned and took us to so many beautiful wineries to sample an array of local wines. Our ship was Queen Jelena and it was just stunning. We had a cabin on the lower deck and we were absolutely delighted with it. It was spacious and comfortable. We had breakfast and lunch every day on the ship and the quality and quantity was exceptional!!! Pamela, our waitress and bar attendant was very friendly and efficient and couldn’t have done more for us. We were so fortunate to have Ivan as our guide, he was absolutely amazing. He made himself available all day every day. Best trip ever!

The tour director, Ivana went over and above- very responsive to people. So kind and knowledgeable! The meals were amazing- better than most restaurants. I liked having the down time in the morning to relax and a good overview of what was available in town made town visits enjoyable. The captains dinner with dancing and singing after was a kick. Thank you for everything!
