The itinerary was fantastic. The staff was amazing. Our concierge Verdan was incredible. The Captain was extremely professional. The bar and waitstaff including Martina and Meio were so much fun. Cabins were comfortable. The wine was fantastic. We came with no expectations and left with one of the best vacations ever. Would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone. We will definitely rebook in the future. Croatia is amazing.

We did the wines of Croatia cruise on the Esperanza our guide Vedran was amazing, all the staff where fantastic they made our experience extra special, it was my husbands 50th special birthday while we where on board and all the crew really pulled out all the stops, the places we visited where out of this world so pretty and authentic. The food was excellent, lovely buffet breakfast, three course lunch every day with authentic local cuisine, We had a daily swim stop which was not only refreshing but gave us the chance to experience the coast line from a completely different angle, paddle board made it easy explore a long way along the cost line, We made many new friends, with other guest and crew, had wonderful experiences on Esperanza, it truly was a privilege to be on board big thank you to Vedran our guide and all the Crew on board Esperanza, would highly recommend we loved it 😎

The ship was immaculately fitted out, crew were friendly, helpful and courteous. Food was substantial and generally good standard. But not gourmet as photography on brochures suggested. The islands were interesting and great to explore, however, a couple had very little to keep us occupied and exploring( notably Brac). Sail Croatia events coordinator was always helpful and available to help and plan for each stopover.. We felt that more entertainment in evenings even one more early on in cruise would have brought guests and crew together . The evening dinner on one of the islands was extremely disappointing, both for location and the meal itself.

Great people, nice crew & boat.

Everything about our time on the Queen Jelena was perfect from start to finish. Our rooms were cleaned daily. The crew were extremely polite. The captain actually cared about his passengers and making our experience as memorable as possible. Drinks were very reasonably priced. Ivana was our tour guide and she went above and beyond for her customers. No question was too silly to be answered and she was very knowledgeable about everywhere we visited. Ivana even gave us advice about things to to after our elegance tour. I would highly recommend a trip on the Queen Jelena with the fantastic crew including Ivana.

Wow what a great week. We had an outstanding tour guide in ivana. Everything ran like clockwork. Great daily briefings and detailed information on our next port city. Ivana was excellent in all facets. The boat was always immaculately clean and the crew friendly and obliging. Special mention to Pamela(crew) . A bright intelligent young woman. Sail Croatia future looks bright with staff like Pamela working her way through the ranks. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

We have just spent an amazing 7 nights on the fabulous Queen Jelena sailing from Split to Dubrovnik. The crew, food, scenery, our new friends and especially our tour guide Ivana made this a week we will never forget. If you are thinking about doing a trip with Sail Croatia … do it!

This is a trip to recommend for several reasons, the itinerariy is superb. Ivana our host could not have been better and the crew is fantastic. There is always room to improve on A few things like breakfast, the village dinner, but all in all very good
- Gustavo, 29/07/2025 05:12, Travelled with Family
From the minute we boarded our vessel, Esperanza we knew it would be a great holiday. The service from all of the crew was exceptional, with Dino, our tour guide providing us with valuable information and he had very sound knowledge of every destination we visited. I would place Dino as one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Martina, our front of house hostess, did an amazing job of keeping all of the guests happy in every possible way. Nothing was too difficult for her and made everyone feel happy. I would highly recommend this cruise for anyone looking for an educational and fun holiday in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thank you Sail Croatia for the wonderful experience.

Vi hadde en fantastisk uke ombord på Romantic Star. Utrolig fint opplegg: flott båt, fin lugar, god mat, veldig hyggelig cruise manager og mannskap og fine utflukter. Daglige "swim stop" ga en veldig fin kombinasjon av bading og opplevelser. Kan virkelig anbefales!

From the very beginning it was top notch. The crew, our cruise director and Capain went out of there way to make everything feel like we were special. The food was very good, the swim stops were awesome, and the excursions were well planned out. We met people on day one, by day 7 we were friends. Even planning another experience with them. If you have doubts, just do it! You won't regret it.

We sailed on the Wine Cruise on Romantic Star in July 2025. The ship, the crew and our tour guide, Ivana, were amazing. We loved the destinations and the unique wine tasting experiences. The food on ship was fantastic, and took care of special dietary needs. We were guided by Ivana, our incredible Tour Guide. She made us feel at home and gave us excellent, personalised advice for activities in port. Cannot recommend highly enough. We loved our cruise. Thank you Sail Croatia, Romantic Star, and Ivana.

Absolutely the best holiday I have ever been on. It was our first ever cruise and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The crew and Ivana were attentive and friendly The food aboard was superb and the wine tastings absolutely beautiful. Cannot fault the whole holiday Thank you so much

We sailed a 7 day cruise with Sail Croatia. The boat is called Katarina & it is part of the Elegance line. Captain Ivan, his staff and the cruise director were so welcoming and attentive. We had amazing swim stops every day, visited beautiful islands and had plenty of time to enjoy them. The boat is beautiful, new, well maintained, clean and very comfortable. I was sad to see the trip end and I would go again, if possible.

- Mick, 22/07/2025 21:39, Travelled in a Couple
Everything came together to create the perfect holiday - the stunning landscapes, the refreshing swim stops, the delicious food, and the beautiful cruise. What truly elevated the experience was the wonderful crew, especially the amazing team at the salon, and our exceptional guide, Dino. Their warmth and professionalism made every moment even more special.
- Valentina, 22/07/2025 18:31, Travelled with Family
Dino and Martina were very Kind and helpful, we had a wonderful experiencie! The crew and staff were Also very Kind, and the Chef and cooks did an extraordinary Job to prepare a birthday cake for my sister.
- María Cecilia , 22/07/2025 17:59, Travelled with Family
Everything - the ship, the crew, the cruise director, the food, the itinerary and the fellow passengers. We had a fabulous trip sailing from Dubrovnik to Split with overnights at five Croatian islands in between. We enjoyed the blend of organised activities, especially the daily swim stops and the option each day of ‘doing your own thing’ after lunch or taking advantage of the organised activities on offer. On our trip, the group of passengers gelled really well and many will be keeping in contact now the holiday is over. I’d recommend both Sail Croatia and this particular trip to anyone potentially interested in this type of holiday.
- Trevor, 22/07/2025 17:57,
I did the cruise with my family and it was an amazing experience! The staff and crew were super friendly and fun. I would totally recommend it!
- Paola, 22/07/2025 17:55, Travelled with Family
Our tour manager, Ioanna, was the shining star of the cruise. She is very knowledgeable about Croatia’s history, top things to do on each island, always goes the extra mile and consistently to ensure guests are well versed in all possibilities, she over delivers on every aspect of the role and has a great communication style, very light and funny. The crew is wonderful as well, very hard working and dedicated to their jobs. The cook staff was incredibly talented, and meals were delicious. And the captain was just lovely. Definitely one of the cleanest sails I have ever experienced. I would absolutely recommend the Olimp, it’s a family-owned boat and the Captain is the son of the owner.
- Amy, 22/07/2025 17:41, Travelled with Family
Loved everything- our tour guide was fabulous, great crew, beautiful boat, fabulous winery visits and met really wonderful people!

Facilities, service, tours , food , destinations, The crew from captain , cruise director, waiters, cleaners, sailors … Amazjng people who couldn’t help you enough Special thanks to Ioana our cruise director. Almira and Ivo feeding and hydrating us 🥂😍 George the captain who kept us safe on the seas, the crew who daily attended to our swim stops , Nikolina who serviced our cabins with her beautiful smile … This cruise crew and the magnificent Olimp ship far exceeded our expectations. If you ever have the chance for ultimate luxury aboard this majestic lady “Olimp” you will not be disappointed. Thank you we had the best time and made some wonderful new friends .
- Heather, 22/07/2025 14:28, Travelled in a Couple
Our cruise on the Olimp from Dubrovnik to Split was fabulous. Ioana the cruise excursion director was the so organized. Ioana set the Vibe for the whole cruise right from the beginning. Ioana paid attention to details she listened to what people wanted and made sure that she provided clear information and instructions, both verbally and through the what’s app. Captain Jure and crew all were very professional and friendly making sure were safe and truly cared about our enjoyment. The rooms were cleaned beautifully everyday by Nicolina. Sail Croatia was the best choice for us. If you book with Sail Croatia you will not be disappointed.
- Jeri , 22/07/2025 13:38, Travelled in a Couple
We had an absolutely fantastic time. Our Cruise Director Ioana was so professional, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for her to organise. She was always available and communication was great. The crew were great, efficient always smiling 😃 and friendly. Almira and Ivo were very attentive in the dining and bar areas. Hard working crew all around the sail crew were great in getting the best swim stops every day and Nickoletta was wonderful with housekeeping. The Chef and his sous chef prepared delicious food for us and the variety was excellent and very tasty. Thank you SAIL CROATIA for an amazing trip. We made some special friendships and all the places we stopped along the way were great with many different experiences.
- Eugenie, 22/07/2025 13:21, Travelled with Friend/s
The weather was very good, the boat was very clean, the Captain & crew were hard-working, friendly, helpful and professional. And our fellow passengers were great. The variety of tours on offer was good. We would have liked one night at anchor in a sheltered bay. And we would have preferred longer breakfast time from, say, 8am to 10am. The bed in our cabin wasn’t very comfortable, too hard a mattress for us. However all-in-all we had a great trip and we would recommend it to others.
- Michele, 22/07/2025 12:47, Travelled in a Couple
There wasn’t one aspect of our trip on Olympia with sale Croatia that wasn’t spectacular. The ship was absolutely breathtaking and so well cared for… Stunning beauty. The crew was amazing, so friendly and helpful and kind. Our cruise director. Ionna was amazing. She worked so hard to ensure everybody had the best possible excursions available and was constantly flexible and helpful with situating everyone and their choices… So many options and such a great fun. The food was every day better and better, which was hard to improve upon because each meal was spectacular. The people we shared the trip with were wonderful as well… Friendly, kind fun… Overall highly recommend as a great way to see Croatia and the islands and mix in relaxation and Adventure as well

Crucero de pocos pasajeros, atención personalizada. Excelente itinerario. Lugares qye visita son imperdibles. Tripulación muy atenta y servicial. Especial mención para Dino y Martina que estuvieron dedicados a atendernos, ayudarnos y proporcionando alegría y entretención . Capitan muy experto y fue muy grato participar con él en la noche del Capitan. Sugerencia: tener más elementos inflables para nadar en el mar. Y el día de inicio del crucero realizar alguna actividad para que pasajeros se conozcan.

From start to finish the wine cruise was of the highest standard. Helped by the friendly crew and Captain the holiday was an unforgettable experience. The fellowship created was infectious on the trip and feels like we have made real connections onboard.. a must do!

Trip was made by a great crew. Easy and relaxed. My only comment as most are couples I would have liked to go for a paddle board with my wife. Perhaps another paddle board and other recreational water sports toys. But that me. A active relaxer.
- Murray Healey, 22/07/2025 06:14, Travelled in a Couple
We spent a wonderful time in Croatia, our guide Dino provided all the needed information and tips for the different destinations. Also, the crew was top notch, Martina bringing energy to breakfast and lunches and always available at the bar to help! Thanks for everything!

The boat, the crew, the swim stops and overnight stops and excursions made this a trip to remember. The only down side that let the cruise down and the reason we didnt give it 5 stars was the food was not what we had hoped. There were good days like the first day and the Captains Dinner but sadly some of the lunches were not of the standard we would expect from a cruise at this price point. Most days the protein offered was well overcooked and given their were only 14 passengers this was disappointing
- Karen, 22/07/2025 02:15, Travelled in a Couple
We cruised from Split to Dubrovnik on Katarina, a beautiful vessel with a spacious cabin. The crew were amazing, always friendly and accommodating. Our host, Ioana was exceptional and.nothing was too much trouble. The itinerary was perfect and Ioana organised extra events such as group dinners, and reservations at bars in Korcula and Dubrovnik. This was impressive due to the smallness of the bars and how busy the ports were, that she could organise 30 plus people at short notice. The number of passengers on board was also perfect, we met wonderful people and had an incredible week away with unbelievable weather.
- Denise, 17/07/2025 10:32, Travelled in a Couple
From start to finish it was fantastic the crew the Captain all the staff couldn’t do enough for you. Ioana our guide was the life and soul of the boat. Nothing was to much trouble for her and she Explained every day what we could do ie trips Excursions ect. We met many new friends from USA to Australia. And the food was out of this world We’re already looking at next year. Regards Glenn

It would;ve been nice to be able to dine outside on the Olimp, have the outside bar open at least for beer and a cocktail of the day. The Jacuzzi wasn't working.

Our cruise was made exceptional by the itinerary organised by the tour manager Ivana Mateja, captain and the crew on board Romantic Star. The locations and excursions we visited at each stop on our way from Split to Dubrovnik were well organised and each wine tasting event was amazing! Every member of the crew was friendly and welcoming and made us feel that we were on an exclusive and unique holiday. The food was delicious and high quality, and beautifully presented. The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious.

We've just had an amazing week on Esperanza cruising round the Croatian Islands. We did Split to Split South. It was 5 stars all round! The boat was beautiful, the crew where outstanding and couldn't do enough for us, the group of passengers were great and the scenery just superb. The Dalmatian Coast is stunning and very stop was special in it's own way. We will definitely be cruising with Sail Croatia again and can't recommend them enough. I will say, please be aware of the expected tipping!

The ship was amazing, the port stops were excellent, our cruise-mates were fantastic, but most of all, our tour director, Ioana, was the best. She was proactive about every aspect of our trip and made sure we made the best use of our time on the boat and off it. I can’t say enough good things about this cruise. It was the best one we’ve ever taken and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a way to visit the islands and coastline of Croatia.

We loved every minute of our cruise and it felt that we were on a luxury charter cruise, visiting amazing places, architecture. The wine tasting at every destination was brilliant and interesting. The food on board was excellent and top quality. Our tour manager Ivana was excellent and very friendly and informative, and made sure we had the best time. The captain and crew were all very helpful and made sure we were safe and well looked after. The cabin was very comfortable, clean and quiet. I would certainly go on another trip with Sail Croatia again!

Excellent crew and Cruise Director. Our route and itinerary along the Dalmatian Coast, including visits to the islands with their beautiful towns (such as Split, Dubrovnik and Hvar) was well planned and spectacular, Quiet, easily accessible moorings overnight. I also very much enjoyed the swim stops. The yacht, Esperanza, is well maintained and comfortable. Delicious onboard food. Very lucky with our travelling companions.
