MS Esperanza

We had the most incredible trip aboard MS Esperanza. From start to finish, the crew. And Our tour representative from Sail Croatia were excellent. There was not a thing we would change from the staff, the meals, the excursions and of course, our fellow travelers. We experienced Croatia from land ann sea and I do not believe there is a better way to travel! The wine theme of our cruise made it even better! The trip has set a precedent for our next trip - may be hard to find a more perfect one!

I loved the routine of the days - leave port, sail, breakfast, stop for swim, sail, lunch, dock in port, explore, dinner, sleep repeat! Food magnificent. Exploring great, company even better. Great trip for solo travellers

The staff on the Esperanza Elegance Tour went above and beyond to keep everyone comfortable and happy. The captain chose the most beautiful calm places for our daily swims and made the best of the day we could not go into our designated port due to weather. The food was great and the chef was so accommodating to everyone's dietary restrictions/preferences. Most importantly the people we met were the absolute best and we hung out together in Dubrovnik even after the cruise ended. We made some lifetime friends we hope to travel with more in the future!

Such a wonderful sailing trip!! We spent a week on an Elegance Cruise on the ship Esperanza and couldn’t have hoped for a better holiday. The crew were so friendly and helpful and kept the ship immaculately presented. Klara was our tour leader and had a vivacious and hilarious personality. She was very thorough in the information she provided and ensured everyone and every activity was organised without any issues. We had a perfect balance of relaxation on the sun lounges, swimming and exploring the islands. The ship was spacious and our cabin with ensuite was very comfortable. We were delighted with our first small ship experience and would highly recommend it.

We had an amazing time on our cruise, & thoroughly enjoyed our morning swims & relaxation. The food was also very good & staff were friendly & attended to my gluten free needs. Our cruise director was very knowledgeable & had a lovely manner about him & good sense of humour too. We also enjoyed our Island visits even though it was very hot, with plenty of free time to explore & have an evening meal on them. I would definitely recommend this cruise as it was one of the best holidays we've been on. We loved Croatia!

The crew was spectacular and incredibly accommodating. Cabins were spacious and the ship was wonderful. One suggestion is get a proper system for tracking individuals purchases. Using a notebook to track 37 vacationer's purchases is archaic. Please invest in a pos system or otherwise it appears to be by design. Sailing a multimillion dollar ship with a manual ledger should be an embarrassment to the owners. It is 2025. My only criticism of my adventure

Our guide, Stefan, was excellent and did his best to make it a great experience - even if we had some very bad weather at the beginning. The boat and the crew were fine and the service excellent. We think there could be more attention paid to safety - a clearer set of instructions what to do in case of emergency and a member of the crew on duty 24 hours per day. The food was fine but at some points they ran out of salad bar and fruit salad. There should MORE than enough of everything like that.

The Cruise ship was fantastic. Very tastefully appointed and crew and guests were all enjoyable company. The Croatian island destinations were superb. A thoroughly enjoyable, interesting and relaxing holiday. Would very happily do it again.

The Croatian Coast is absolutely beautiful. The Esperanza rooms are well set out and the beds are very comfortable. Nikoleta, Tomo and Josep all helped to enhance our experience by looking after our needs and sharing their knowledge of the area. Lastly the small group allowed us to get to know the others on the cruise and make friends with a group of very interesting people.

Small group. Modern vessel with excellent staff. Knowledgeable, very approachable, efficient and friendly tour manager. Comfortable cabin.
