The Olimp is an incredible luxury super yacht experience! Vendran our host was extremely welcoming, entertaining and provided useful information for each stop. Our servers Ivo & Almira provided excellent service and were extremely attentive to our needs. The chefs provided excellent high quality delicious meals.

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 🤩

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 .

Absolutely outstanding Tour Manager Ioana & Crew plus the most pleasant fellow passengers imaginable, Olimp was outstanding: chic, comfortable & immaculately clean. Ioana was highly professional, personable, amusing & a great organizer. Jura, our captain, also. Like way he sat at every table in the captains diner. Ivor, our 'maitre d' is also the consummate professional with an amazing memory for every passenger's request. Every single crew member was personable & good at their role. Food & drink choice was superb. A few observations . 1. The noise level in the dining salon was often uncomfortable for me, I have hearing impairment but the high noise level alarms on our iPhones were triggered twice. This could be simply rectified by an acoustic specialist. 2. 8 am is early for a holiday breakfast. Could it be slipped an hour. 3. Getting out of the sea onto the rear platform is not easy.. A conventional boat ladder would help.. 3. Magnifying mirrors in cabins would aid personal care.

This was one of the most beautiful and relaxing vacations we've had in years. Staff was AWESOME. We were amazed that the chef managed to serve such high quality food each day to this group, and our guide Ioana was absolutely delightful! Everyone is attentive, professional, kind. My friend scraped her knee on an excursion and the captain provided bandages, etc. The included walking tours are well worth it, and there was just the right amount of structured vs unstructured time where we could do our own exploring, or just relax. The southern cruse (that goes from Split to Dubrovnik and back not only has gorgeous scenery but also a wonderful historical, cultural, and architectural overview of the area. Croatia has been strategically significant since pre-Greek times and there are many influences you can see in the architecture - which is beautiful and fascinating!

Sail Croatia is dedicated to making sure that everyone is taken care of in every way possible. The cabin accommodations are excellent; the tour director and the entire crew were all very attentive and professional; the breakfast and lunches very tasty and plentiful! Whoever thought having a 3 course lunch with wine is the perfect way to begin an afternoon of relaxation on the sun deck! That is, unless you're going out on an excursion or a walk through the various towns on the beautiful islands. We highly recommend Sail Croatia!
- Patricia , 20/05/2025 19:18, Travelled in a Couple
Karolina was great and very informative. She gave great recommendations and was anyone that gets her is lucky. The crew was good as well. Boat was very nice, cabins were perfect size. Didn't feel cramped and the bathrooms were very nice. The boat was also very clean. They hit their timelines perfectly as well and we traveled with no incident. I was a little disappointed in the food as it was just average but certainty not terrible either.

There were only 13 passengers on our trip. It felt like we wete very special. The meals were great and the excursions unique. We will sail again.
- Barbara, 20/05/2025 12:53, Travelled in a Couple
I’ve done many cruises in my life, and to be honest, I’ve never really been a fan. I don’t enjoy feeling like cattle in endless lineups, waiting for everything. So when my friend suggested trying a smaller, yacht-style cruise, I agreed—cautiously—but I’m so glad I did. The experience was incredible. From the moment we stepped on board, we were catered to with such care. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every wish was heard and fulfilled. The cost was surprisingly similar to a large cruise ship, but the difference in experience was night and day. We had gourmet food, stunning views that changed daily, and amenities that made it feel like a floating boutique hotel. Every night brought a new destination, a new view, and a new highlight. I’m a fan!
- David, 20/05/2025 11:21,
The scenery was beautiful… water clarity, mountains, landscape and charm of the towns/villages/islands.. The entire crew was consistently on point and took care of any need. Breakfast and lunch prepared/served while on board was very good. Esperanza is an older model boat, which added to charm. Cabins were very clean and cleanliness was maintained daily. Highly recommended this cruise and Rate entire cruise 9/10. Rate it a 9 because something was missing, I just don’t know what it was.
- Bob, 20/05/2025 11:17,
The Crew and the standards on board were outstanding. The whole trip from start to finish was first class. A lot of thought has went into planning this trip and it fulfilled every expectation.
- Harry, 20/05/2025 10:08, Travelled in a Couple
Our cruise felt like a private cruise with only 7 staterooms full, 13 passengers, but a full staff of nine. The crew delivered lovely breakfasts- my favorite was the Muesli with fruit and sautéed veggies with added cheese. The coffee machine was available 24 hours. The swim stops were great even if cold water and arrival at the bigger locations like Split, Dubrovnik and Hvar by 2/3 gave plenty of time to visit town and have a great dinner (always good suggestions for restaurants) without the big cruise ship crowds. Nice big bathroom and shower in room was a surprise and everything was kept so clean. Lunch on boat was always bigger then I am used too but as a great salad was always available it worked great.
- Susan, 20/05/2025 09:56,
The crew our tour representative Vicko the personal touch. We only had 16 guests on our boat. The food was 👏 amazing. I loved all the islands and villages we visited. Vicko recommended certain trips and each one was a great experience. Vicko energy and knowledge and enthusiasm was brilliant. I have been recommending sail Croatia to all my friends and family. It was a truly memorable 40th anniversary trip. We will most definitely sail with sail Croatia again. Do more islands. Wish I was back on board now. We also made new friends who since we left have been messaging which is lovely. This is because it was a small intimate group and vicko encouraged mixing together at breakfast and lunch. I loved when we all hired bikes and cycled together around the national park. Well done to our captain the crew and our amazing tour guide Vicko. I hope to meet you all again. Thank you sail Croatia your service is excellent.

Everything about my trip was fantastic on the Olimp!. The ship, the crew, the food, the destinations and planned activities and Vedran was a superb coordinator. Definitely recommend Sail Croatia and the Olimp!
- Loretta, 17/05/2025 16:42,
We had a great time with the Sail Croatian Wine cruise. Vicko was tremendous!
- Tommy, 17/05/2025 00:13, Travelled in a Couple
It was great to be part of a small group of travellers who all had similar interests and spoke English as our first language. I like how breakfast and lunch were provided. The food was well prepared and fresh. It was also nice to have the bar option. The room was a good size and the daily room cleaning service was appreciated. It would have been nice to have a laundry service. Another trip we recently took offered one small load of laundry for the week. I also appreciated the swimming stops. I noticed the other boats around us had snorkels and fins and SUP boards. That would have been great too. Inflatable SUP boards don’t take up any room. Overall a great experience.
- Tim, 16/05/2025 06:00, Travelled in a Couple
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!

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 Romantic Star was a wonderful ship. Captain Ivan and his crew were professional, enjoyed a laugh and tried their best to give us the most amazing time. Only a few little things that could be improved - some swimming equipment such as googles and flippers might assist, the host was amazing! Ioana did more than enough to keep us updated, managed to get the passengers together, United and having fun! Lastly, the highlight of cruising was the food, the chefs onboard were amazingly good! Great times
- Graham, 13/05/2025 13:24, Travelled in a Couple
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
Loved the pace and format of the cruise. Nice blend of excursions and free time. Cruise Director was very knowledgeable and helpful. Food was excellent at all meals. I do recommend having the option of pancakes, crepes and waffles for breakfast at least once a week. Crew did an excellent job of accommodating my food allergy. I definitely recommend this tour.
- Sharon, 13/05/2025 05:57, Travelled in a Couple
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.

Sail Croatia Elegance Cruise on Olimp - wow! We had high expectations but even they were exceeded! The ship was immaculate, cleaned and polished daily. All the areas were as shown and even better in person. We enjoyed the various spaces on the ship at different times. Our Tour Guide V (Vedran) was so helpful, joyful and always smiling - he made the cruise so much fun and we had lots of laughs together! Captain George (Jure) and all the crew were so sweet, kind and caring - doing a fabulous job of looking after us all. The buffet breakfast had everything you could possibly want on offer. The daily three course lunch (and four course Captain’s Dinner!) were all beautiful in presentation, variety and taste. All ports visited were great. We were lucky to be blessed with perfect weather and also a wonderful group of passengers. We could not want for anything more, thank you!
- Michelle, 12/05/2025 19:30, Travelled in a Couple

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
- Cindy, 12/05/2025 15:17, Travelled with Friend/s
Our wine cruise wasn't full so maybe we benefitted from some extra attention but the crew were really friendly and helpful. Our lower deck cabin was quiet but bright and although storage was a little limited worked fine for us. Lunch was varied and excellent, although sometimes a three course lunch was a little early in the day. The wine tastings in Stari Grad and Milna were our favourites, and the excursion on Vis was fascinating. Swim stops were fun, although the water was still pretty cold at the end of April/early May. The islands and coastline are spectacular and the cruise was so relaxing and I would definitely consider booking again in the future.

The boat, staff and especially the cruise director Mia. She made it fun and informative and was a pleasure to be around. Every day was exciting and fun. We always knew what was happening and what to plan for. She kept us well informed and shared so much of the history and stories of the areas that we visited. Everything was great and I would highly recommend this trip to other friends.

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!

We were lucky with two things: first there were only seven of us on our cruise which made it feel like a group of old friends. Second was our tour guide Dino. Always happy. Very informative and could not have been more helpful. He was the main reason for our highly successful cruise.
- Anonymous, 29/04/2025 12:31, Travelled in a Couple
Although there we only 7 guests on the cruise, nothing was reduced by the crew or the services provided, they we always available and attentive. Very professional but always friendly. The tour guide, Dino, made the journey interesting but also entertaining with his stories and history of all things Croatian. His rapport with our small group turned the trip from great to unforgettably amazing. He built a connection among the group which has created what will undoubtedly be some life long friendships. Our next cruise we will looking for the Olimp and insist on Dino!

The beautiful ship Olimp, the crew and best of all our guide Dino. He was our ideal guide, friendly, knowledgeable, fantastic sense of humour, always there for us.

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.
- Kristy’ Burnett, 29/04/2025 06:41, Travelled with Family
The cruise was beyond my expectation! The ship, the accommodation and the food (!) were exceptional. The Ambiance onboard the Olymp was wonderful, and largely a result of the energy and humour of our tour guide, Dino! We were only seven passengers, but we were all very pleased with our trip amd will soon repeat. Thank you for a first view of an unknown ( to Me) part of the world. We all learned a lot and appreciate the efforts of the crew.
- Julie, 29/04/2025 04:58,
The crew on our boat was amazing. It was our very first cruise of any kind. We ran into some nasty weather and they did their best to make the best of the situation. Our shower door, however, would not stay closed during the rough seas and it kept banging against the wall and we were afraid the glass would break. We finally put suitcases in front to hold it still. My only “complaint” would be that we were told we needed to be off the ship at 9 in the morning. Our flight was not until afternoon and it being Easter.. all the luggage storage places were closed. A number of people were allowed to stay on until 10:30 and that would have make a huge difference for us. We would have eaten a much bigger breakfast instead of thinking we could find a decent breakfast in town while toting our suitcases. However.. This was the only down side . I would highly recommend this company as the overall experience was wonderful. We had a great crew and fellow passengers.

Hi Jan, Thank you so much for your kind 5 Star review and for choosing to travel with us on our Elegance cruise! We're absolutely delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience and that you'd recommend Sail Croatia to others — that means the world to us. We really appreciate your feedback regarding the check-out time. We do ask guests to disembark by 9am to allow our crew time to prepare for the next arrivals at 11am, we completely understand that an early start can be a bit of a challenge, especially after a relaxing week on board. We'll continue to ensure this process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon for another unforgettable adventure!
Beautiful boat & great crew!
