FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Health and Safety Measures Will be In Place in Light of COVID-19?

Sail Croatia takes the health and safety of our guests and staff seriously and as such we will be implementing measures onboard our ships to limit and prevent the spread of the virus. In line with Government guidelines, our staff members have been trained to adhere to strict Health and Safety procedures and policies until measures can be relaxed.

Upon advice from the Croatian Institute for Public Health, please expect the following measures to be in place throughout your cruise:

  • Check-in will be conducted outdoors in a specially designated area
  • All ships will be thoroughly cleaned daily, as well a final disinfection process occurring prior to guest arrival
  • Staff will wear appropriate PPE when working around our ships and guests. This may include masks whenever inside social distancing guidelines and gloves whenever touching surfaces
  • Hand sanitizer will be available on all ships and is required to be used whenever boarding
  • Social distancing measures will be in place in accordance with government guidelines
  • There will be spaced seating for meal services and longer service of meals

Due to the unique nature of the space on each ship, risk assessments will be conducted that are specific to each layout and additional measures may be implemented onboard to cater for each space.

Whilst we will endeavor to do our very best to reduce the spread of COVID-19, please recognise that there is a clear risk of the spread of the disease whilst on holiday. Our aim is to keep our guests safe and Croatia free of the spread of the virus. We kindly ask for your support throughout this process. Our measures will continue to be updated in line with best practices and Government guidelines. If you have any questions, a member of our Sales Team will be able to assist you.

What time does the cruise start/finish?

Ships depart the harbour at 13:00 on Saturdays and will return on Friday night. You will disembark after an early breakfast on the Saturday morning between 8am and 9am.

What is the best route?

All itineraries operating on our Cycle Croatia cruises are designed to challenge and inspire clients with varied terrain. Both the Split Return (Southern) Route and Split Return (Northern) Route start and finish in Split, ensuring easy access in and out of this fascinating city. The Split Return (Southern) route island hops through Dalmatia and takes in highlights such as Hvar, Brac and Korcula, whereas the Split Return (Northern) Route heads north from Split toward Zadar and takes in the incredible Krka National Park. Our new One Way routes (Split to Dubrovnik and Dubrovnik to Split) have the added benefit of starting and finishing in a new location, and take clients off the beaten track to explore new and exciting destinations throughout the Dalmatian islands.

How challenging are the rides?

We recommend you have a reasonable level of fitness to participate in our Cycle Croatia Cruises. Each day’s ride brings a different challenge, and your guide will cater the route to your group’s interests and abilities. If you don't feel up to riding, or feel a particular day may be too strenuous for you, you’re welcome to spend the day swimming or relaxing onboard. The average cycling distance is around 20-30 kilometres per day across varied terrain including light off-road trails, gravel roads and asphalted routes.

What is the cost of the weekly bike hire?

Standard weekly bike hire is £90 per person and includes both the bike and a helmet. We also offer high quality Electric Bikes, allowing you to see more of Croatia with less of a workout (an additional £70 on top of the £90 bike and helmet rental price).

Are the rental bikes good quality & what if i have mechanical issues en route?

Absolutely. We use 24 speed, modern mountain bikes that are all around a year old. Our standard bike type is: Cross and Felt 28”, E-bikes: Flyer 28”. Helmets are also provided and each bike includes a water bottle holder and small pouch for carrying money/sunglasses. Your guide will carry a repair kit to take care of any minor fixes such as a flat tyre or broken chain. We also bring a couple of spare bikes along on every cruise so you always have the option of swapping bikes.

Can I bring my own bike?

Yes you can. In some areas (e.g. Mljet National Park), parts of the trail are off-road, so some road cycles may not be appropriate, however your guide can either give you an alternate route or arrange for a day's cycle hire with a thicker-tyre bike.

What are the cabins like?

The cabins are based on 2 sharing, and consist of twin beds, bunk beds or one double bed. If you prefer a certain cabin type, it’s important that you let us know this upon booking, so we are aware and will note your request. Our ship allocation is finalised a week before departure, so we are unable to 100% guarantee a twin bed or double bed cabin, due to the fact each of our ships have completely unique cabin configurations, and therefore there is always a different number of twin and double cabins available onboard. On some ships, we also have triple cabins available. Triple cabins consist of a double bed and a single bunk. We can check the availability of these when you book. If you would like to book a triple cabin please let us know, we don’t automatically allocate these to odd numbered groups as they are about the same size as our 2 person cabins.

What is the difference between Above Deck and Below Deck cabins?

Above Deck cabins are located on the main deck of the ship, with most opening out onto the deck itself, as this runs along the outside. Depending on the ship, our Above Deck cabins may also open out onto an internal corridor or area instead. The Below Deck cabins are below the Above Deck cabins, and are accessed by a set of stairs and corridor from the main deck. They are located in the hull of the ship and are subsequently cooler and often quieter than the Above Deck cabins, as you don’t have people walking past your cabin on the deck late at night and early in the morning. Please note: On some of the ships the Above Deck cabins are located on 2 levels, i.e. on the main deck and on a top deck. Each ship is unique and therefore the layout does vary from ship to ship.

Is food included?

Breakfast and a traditional lunch or dinner is included every day. We don't include all meals, as we encourage you to try the local cuisine whilst you are out cycling during the day/in port for the evening. Our guide can offer some suggestions on the best places to eat. On some days, lunch may be provided instead of dinner if this fits in better with the day’s itinerary – the guide will advise you of this during the week. The breakfasts are simple continental style, with breads and spreads. You can pay onboard for a cooked breakfast each morning at a supplement of 40 Euros for the week. Lunch/dinner usually consists of 3 courses, with a soup/salad starter, meat or fish-based main course and fruit/cake for dessert, prepared by your onboard cook.

Can I bring food and drink onboard?

You cannot bring food and drink onboard, except for items that fill specific dietary requirements. Each ship has its own bar and drinks consumed onboard (including bottled water) must be purchased from here. You have unlimited access to the onboard water cooler during the salon opening times. We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle with you onboard, and filling this up before the salon closes for the evening.

What type of luggage should I bring?

If you’re joining us from within Europe, we highly recommend limiting your luggage to one suitcase; however, we understand that this might not be possible for international travellers who are flying in just for the cruise, or on extended trips. In most cabins, you will be able to store bags under the bed; however, in the case of excess luggage, please ask check-in staff to give you additional information about possible storage.

Are there any extra costs?

A local payment of 30 Euros per person is payable onboard your Sail Croatia Cruise. This payment incorporates port fees and tourist taxes throughout the week and is subject to change. This fee is subject to change. Meals and water purchased on your rides is also an additional expense (unlimited access to the onboard water cooler is available during Salon opening hours. We recommend brining a reusable water bottle).

Will I get to visit the Blue Cave as a part of my cruise?

A visit to the Blue Cave in Vis is dependant on weather conditions and your itinerary. If conditions allow, an optional visit to the Blue Cave will be offered. This activity is not a part of your booking with us and therefore Sail Croatia shall not be deemed responsible for any damage, loss or dissatisfaction related to the Blue Cave visit.

Where can I buy a Cycle Jersey?

Our original merchandise, slim fitting Cycle Jersey features a unisex cut and is perfect for comfort and agility whilst cycling. These Jerseys are just £39 and can be ordered online and available for you to collect at check-in before your cruise!
