Loved visiting some of the islands in Croatia on a bike. Our crew was amazing and very helpful.

What a blessing to be able to experience the beauty of the Dalmatian islands. The highlights were the bike rides! Tonka and Lucija were amazing guides with all the information required to enjoy each trip and also safe rides. Never felt unsafe on the roads. Islands are gorgeous and the bike rides gives a full sensory experience! It's definitely the best way to visit Croatia! Ante, the captain, and his crew were excellent! The only thing to improve is the morning coffee and having tea at anytime of the day part and included in the package. We were on the lower deck, and it was quiet if you have this as a priority on your trip. The group was excellent and made friends for life. Highly recommend Sail Croatia!

Cycling tour is the best way to experience and see islands. Itinerary was well planned and balanced between cycling and relaxation. Guides and crew were brilliant as was the dining on the boat. Wouldn't hesitate to do it, or similar, again.

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.

We had such an amazing time on the Princeza Diana with Marin and Ivan and the rest of the crew. The biking was very safe thanks to Marin and Ivan and the views were stunning. Marin was very particular in keeping us in line which was a good thing - safety first. We all had so much fun!! The islands had some of the best views I have ever seen and without cycling to the top, most visitors would never see these views. Our meals were amazing and all the crew members were friendly and met all our needs. They all worked so hard. Our rooms had a good amount of space and were very clean. I loved the upper deck with the loungers. We ended up having a few yoga classes thanks to Jan (one of the guests). I would highly recommend Sail Croatia. I miss everyone already and we have only been home 3 days. THANK YOU SAIL CROATIA!!!

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,

This was one of the best holidays we've ever had. Everything was great - the boat, the crew, the fellow cyclists, the cycling, the weather, the food. And the locations were almost too good to be true; every day we went from stunning island to stunning island - we were spoilt with beauty! So don't dither - book a Sail Croatia cycle cruise. If you like cycling, this is the holiday for you!

- Nick, 20/05/2025 10:44, Travelled in a Couple

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,

We enjoyed our daily cycling trips on e-bikes on the major islands from Split to Dubrovnik. Miranda, Matilda and Lola took good care of our group while cycling and provided good info about each location. Any equipment issues were handled promptly. The water was a spectacular shade of blue but a little cold in mid May for swimming. We sailed on Dionis and appreciated the hard working crew and spacious cabin.

I was looking for a trip with a combination of relax and adventure and the Sail Croatia Explorer itinerary delivered it. You get into a routine of breakfast, swim stop, lunch then explore the island. Our rep did a wonderful job of explaining each island coming up and possible excursions. I liked how we didn’t have to commit to excursions before the trip. We could play it by ear day by day. He pointed out key points of interests and made great recommendations of places to eat. The only feedback I would give for the cabin is to install an exhaust fan in the bathroom. The shower makes the room steamy and since we were on the lower deck, we couldn’t open the porthole. The AC unit was turned off at night and without the flow of air, towels and bathing suits did not dry quickly. I would also make sure guests aware to bring more cash than they think they need. Excursions, bar tab and tips are all paid in cash.

- Nicole, 19/05/2025 22:37, Travelled with Friend/s

Delightful week long trip on the Salve di Mare. Vicko was our tour manager and had great recommendations. The accommodations were very clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend!

- Nicole, 19/05/2025 22:11, Travelled with Family

We had an incredible experience with Sail Croatia’s e-bike tour! The scenery was stunning, the boat was beautiful and owned by the captain who clearly took pride in it. The food was consistently delicious. I especially loved our head guide, Tonka — she inspired confidence, kept everyone safe and organized, and brought such competent energy to the whole trip. I think they are lucky to have her as an employee — she’s an absolute treasure. The entire crew was friendly and professional. Highly recommend this adventure!

- Alana, 19/05/2025 21:24,

The entire staff, from the captain down, was excellent, doing their very best to give us an enjoyable experience. The boat was in excellent condition, and very clean. The cycling guides, Miranda and Lola, were always asking what the passengers preferred in cycling routes, and then delivering what was requested. They genuinely wanted to make us happy. Even Matilda, who was in training to be a cycling guide, helped with any difficulty we encountered.

- Dennis, 19/05/2025 20:05, Travelled with Friend/s

Could not have asked for a more amazing trip!! Marin and Ivan were fantastic as was the rest of the crew!! Also loved the group on this trip! Miss them already!! We had a blast seeing all the beauty Croatia offers!! Wonderful cycling, food, sites... LOVED my time with Sail Croatia! Highly recommend!!

- Carol, 19/05/2025 19:00,

We travelled on the Princess Diana from Dubrovnik to Split. From the start, the guides ( Marin and Ivan) greeted us warmly and were very friendly throughout the trip. Marin was excellent at organising the rides and explaining the history of the particular island. By the end of the trip we felt that we had a real understanding of Croatian history in these islands. Ivan was great in encouraging us on the rides and doing a lot of the organisational work behind the scenes. They made a great team. Outside of the cycling, we had most interaction with the two waiters/barmen ( Ivan and Karlo) who worked so hard - especially at meal times - and stayed up late to serve us drinks after we came back from dinner. Special mention also to Marko and Maria for our “plentiful” meals everyday - prepared in that tiny kitchen. We didn’t have much interaction with the other crew members although they were super efficient at docking and getting the bikes off the ship. A great team throughout.

My husband & I had the best time on this cruise for our honeymoon. The room we had was great, the staff were amazing & it was just such a relaxing time. We loved every minute of it- highly recommend!

- Nial, 19/05/2025 17:14, Travelled in a Couple

The staff and crew on the Mali Anti are wonderful. Attention to detail fantastic. Rooms spotless and surprisingly spacious and very comfortable beds. Risk assessments and daily briefing are first class. Food was varied and delicious. The cycling was superb with amazing routes to gorgeous Croatian villages. But the hills were long! When they say 4/5 difficult they mean it! Electric bikes looked a tempting option. But very pleased to still achievable the 100 miles on my classic bike.

- Sarah, 19/05/2025 17:11, Travelled in a Couple

It's just such good fun. It's a beautiful place and we were lucky to have great weather and even luckier to have great company. The food was a minor miracle, our cook provided such delicious meals day after day. Our two guides were great and the ships crew looked after us really well. And by the way the cycling was the icing on the cake.

- Sandra, 19/05/2025 16:37, Travelled in a Couple

The ship was beautiful, very well maintained and safe. Ante is an accomplished captain, very proud of his family’s ship and had us on the edge of our seats as we learned its history. He anchored up 3 times en route to let us jump in for a refreshing and relaxing swim. Our guides were awesome! Tonka and Lucija lead us all week, were fun and very knowledgeable, and kept us informed and organized. Their ‘stories’ of the islands and Croatian history were captivating! The group chat info was timely and a nice momento. Our crew were always prepared and ready to take care of us with cold drinks, hot coffee, meals, and wonderful friendly attitudes. Benjamin and Damir are a great team! And a special thanks to George, our chef. How he prepared what he did in his galley is a marvel to all! A yummy breakfast each morning and a three course meal for lunch were highlights for sure. We were powered up daily and ready to ride! My high expectations were exceeded! Do this trip - - go for it!

- Thom, 19/05/2025 16:35, Travelled in a Couple

Our experience on Sail, Croatia aboard Princeza Diana was exceptional on every level! From the crew -special nod to Ivan and Marin-, to the food, small group nature of the trip and the exceptional friends we made a board, we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives! The food was delicious, the pace of the biking activities was extremely enjoyable, and the views and vistas encountered on each unique island were unmatched in any travel we've ever done. This experience will change the way we travel forever and we are so thankful for the memories made this past week.! Placing us on a ship with like-minded, similar aged people was the special touch that will leave our memories enhanced. We highly recommend taking an E bike. As we felt safe and well looked after while enjoying our vacation.

- Penny and Jimmy Darragh, 19/05/2025 16:22, Travelled with Friend/s

One of the best trips we've ever been on. The crew and guides were the best. Marin and Ivan took care of all of our needs and kept us safe, while showing us their beautiful country. Great bike tours, great food and everyone was so friendly. Only 16 cabins. So a great size to get to know everyone. The islands and tour routes were breathtaking. The combination of regular bikes and e-bikes made it enjoyable for everyone. There are hills. Unless you are a very strong cyclist, do your self a favour and arrange an e-bike. I couldnt give a higher review. It was perfection.

- Paul, 19/05/2025 15:16,

Our leaders, Marin and Ivan P were absolutely terrific and made it a superb trip. They were organized and efficient and had great senses of humor. One thing that detracted a WEE bit from the trip was the lack of black tea and good coffee. There are those in our group that are tough to be around until they are caffeinated and yet they get up early so it was difficult having to wait until after 7:00. On all the premier plus type of trips we have taken in the past decent quality tea and coffee were provided all day via machines or at the bar.

- Holly, 19/05/2025 14:32, Travelled with Friend/s

The intimate experience of a small ship was even better than we expected. You get to know the passengers and crew but also have time to spend on your own. The smaller ship allows for entry into smaller ports that you wouldn't get to experience on a large cruise line. Everything was great, from the cabin to the food, the swim stops, would honestly not have changed a thing. If you ever get the chance, I would highly recommend that everyone enjoy the Sail Croatia experience at least once!

- Rob and Carla Moorehead, 19/05/2025 14:01, Travelled with Family

We had a fabulous time on our week with Sail Croatia. The cycling was as challenging as you wanted to make it. Well organized. You see the most spectacular views on the rides. Small town coffee stops. Excellent food on board - we always looked forward to our meals! Crew were friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much trouble for the crew and guides. Everything was explained to us for the next day and again on the morning. The food was good and plentiful. The cabins are small but you aren't in them that often so you can live with that. Small observation by all my group was that it would have been good to be able to buy snacks along with drinks eg crisps, nuts etc as we were advised we could not bring any food on board. Loved it all!

- Helena , 19/05/2025 11:00, Travelled with Friend/s

The week was great fun. The organisation was smooth and the trip leaders were knowledgeable and always on hand to answer questions.. The islands were amazing and the swimming was fabulous. We had e-bikes which made the steep hills very manageable. The ships crew were great and we felt in safe hands with the Captain sailing the boat. All in all a great experience and would definitely recommend it.

So many great things. Crew- friendly, accommodating and fun Bike Trips - spectacularly beautiful, well planned and challenging. Ship- classy, comfortable cabins with lots of space and extremely well maintained. Food- 10/10. Everyday the kitchen went out of its way to create something delicious We both thought it would be a wonderful adventure but we were wrong it was spectacular. Croatia is a natural beauty and her people are simply wonderful. Thank you Sail Croatia for making this one of our trips of a lifetime. Cheers from Canada. Tony & Jan

Every member of the staff was great! The 2 guides, Marin & Ivan did an awesome job of leading our bike trips on each island. Marin told us the history of Croatia and each island. Ivan entertained us with his humor! They both were very professional and safety conscious. Finally, the islands were so beautiful while biking through the country side. I road an e-bike and I’m so glad I did.

- Linda, 19/05/2025 08:14, Travelled in a Couple

We had a great week cycling round Croatia’s islands. Tour guides Ivica and Anita were superb. Ships crew were all great. Itinerary was excellent, cycling in the morning, navigating to a new island in the afternoon then exploring new ports. Bikes were fine, better than expected. Cabins and food on board were ok, although understandably not luxurious. Recommend getting e-bikes because Croatia is hilly.

- Carole , 19/05/2025 07:45, Travelled in a Couple

A great way to see so much of the islands and ports at a leisurely pace. A wonderful blend of activity, moderate exercise, (if on an e-bike!), and relaxation. Plenty of opportunity to explore places on your own and enjoy dining at local restaurants. Ship’s crew and tour guides were very professional, friendly and really helped maximise the whole experience. The ship’s cabins are compact so don’t bring too much stuff. Everything on board was clean and well maintained with really good food. The crew and guides take great pride in the ship and country. Can’t wait to do another trip.

- Michael Hughes, 19/05/2025 07:20, Travelled in a Couple

Our guides, Dora, Josip and “J” were outstanding. They were accommodating, gracious, fun and worked very hard to be sure all passengers were safe and had a good time. The excursions were well planned and they always built in extra time for us to do what we want.

- Joe, 19/05/2025 06:25, Travelled in a Couple

The views from the ship and cabin were incredible as were the crew and people aboard!!! We sailed during the day for a few hours at a slow pace allowing us to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. At night, we were able to explore each of the ports on our own or join in group dinners or activities. It was the perfect mix. Can't wait to go on next cruise with Sail Croatia.

- Mary Smith, 19/05/2025 05:57, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful crew and the experience suited all levels of fitness with challenges for those who wanted it and easy riding for those who didn’t. Service on board the ship was great and the cabin was spacious and comfortable. Plenty of time to explore the islands after riding. Bike riding gave a great opportunity to see more of the islands. Food was plentiful and excellent. Care was given to those with special requirements. Loved Sail Croatia
