Rooms spacious, the excursions were well planned and brilliant. Our host Anita was friendly and very helpful. The sailing team were friendly and helpful. The food could have been better, the portions however were generous. Swim stops lovely. Would have liked the hot tub warmer when it was available to use. The team were very organised and gave us all the info on stops, timings and what to do at each port. It is a fantastic boat the captain and crew were exceptional!

The tour was a wonderful way to see some of Croatia, relax, and enjoy some outdoor and cultural activities. Ioana was a fantastic tour guide and the crew on the boat provided excellent service. The history tour in Split was very interesting, the wine tasting in Korcula was lovely, bike riding in Mljet and Makarska (private rental) was a great way to see the area, and going up the cable car in Dubrovnik provided amazing views of the city and coastline. I enjoyed the swim stops and the option to use the on-board paddle board and kayak, and the food onboard was delicious and plentiful. There was a good mix of down-time and activities/walking in the towns to keep things fun and interesting. We weren't able to do all of the excursions due to weather conditions, but it wasn't a big issue (and they were often quite pricey). I enjoyed seeing a number of different locations, while returning to the same room every night and getting to know the many wonderful people on the tour.

The guide, Anita, was excellent. Charming, efficient and most helpful. It was a joy to have such service. I cannot recommend her too much. The crew were very helpful. Food not so good- too much overcooked meat, just one fish dish in 7 days.. Good bar service. Most enjoyable party after the captain',s dinner- lots of dancing ! I did not engage in excursions, as too strenuous for my age.. Others enjoyed them.. Cabin fine and very efficient and pleasant cleaner.

- Michael, 24/10/2024 13:59, Travelled Solo

This cruise was full of fun, relaxation and some of the best natural sights I've ever seen. Anita's knowledge of Croatia and where would be best to go was invaluable. We will be back!

The sailors took pride in their ship, always on top of their responsibilities. Our room was comfortable as advertised, staff friendly. Anita our hostess engaged with all her passengers, always eager to help. Our trip was delightful, swimming spots and beautiful ports to dock in. Wonderful country to explore with delicious food. Very fortunate to have had the loveliest travellers to make our holiday exceptional.

Fun. Nice ship. Great crew. Good weather. Great tour director.

- Jon, 22/10/2024 03:13, Travelled in a Couple

I had researched quite a few small ship cruise lines before booking, and I'm so glad we went with Sail Croatia! We sailed the Explorer cruise Split to Dubrovnik on The Salve di Mare, which was the most beautiful boat, with the rooms being generously sized and very well appointed (we were in the lower deck and even had a double vanity in our ensuite!) The Captain and his crew were reliable and friendly. Our cruise director Vicko was nothing short of amazing, being generous with his time and also his knowledge and assistance. We really enjoyed the daily Destination speech learning so much about the history of each please we were heading to. We did have to make a couple of itinerary changes due to port issue and weather, but it did not detract from any of our trip, if anything it meant we got to be first people of the day into the Blue caves! The food far exceeded our expectations, and as is with Croatia, always very generous servings! I would not hesitate to recommend Sail Croatia!

- Lee, 17/10/2024 05:19, Travelled in a Couple

This trip was a perfect combination of days relaxing on the boat and afternoons sightseeing on islands. Great food and wonderful excursions. Spacious and modern rooms/facilities on the Katarina. Incredibly attentive, polite and knowledgeable staff. Absolutely wonderful trip!

This was our first cruise and we weren't sure what to expect. It was so fun and relaxing! We met lots of fun people and enjoyed each stop. Our tour manager, Dino, could not have been better. He had lots of fun energy and went out of his way to help and answer questions or give suggestions. The staff in the bar/dining room were also fantastic. And, the boat was beautiful and comfortable. We will recommend this cruise to friends.

- Robin, 14/10/2024 18:33, Travelled in a Couple

Had a great week long trip on the Tempera. The crew was great and very friendly. The breakfast and lunch was delicious and was able to try some new food! The squid was my personal favourite. The cabins were clean and had lots of space for your clothes. The daily swim stop was an incredible experience, i miss the sea already! Drinks on board were yummy. Using Sail Croatia was a great way to get around and see as much of Croatia as you can! The group made on whatsapp was a great way to stay in contact with everyone. We learned a new Croatian word everyday which was nice to learn the proper pronunciation to use while exploring. Would recommend people to get an esim or get a good travel plan as the internet in the boat wasn’t the best. Not that you’re using it lots but nice to have if you’re talking to family back home! Would definitely recommend and personally use Sail Croatia again as it is as a very fun week!

- Rylan & Marissa, 14/10/2024 00:20, Travelled in a Couple

Our navigator and crew made this trip very special! We were also paired up with travelers of similar interests, which was also very nice. I did not know what to expect as I have never been on a cruise, so all I can say is this trip exceeded my expectations! We are not the "cruise" type and with a small group on Katarina, this did not feel like a cruise at all. The little things, like our rooms cleaned, beds made, fresh towels every day, were also lovely and unexpected. I have some dietary restrictions and every request was met quickly and with no problem whatsoever. We are swimmers, and loved that there was at least a one hour swim stop every day. Swimming in the Adriatic sea/Dalmation islands was like a dream come true! All of the island stops were fabulous and we loved that we got a little history from our navigator before departing on each island. I will most definitely recommend Sail Croatia Elegance cruises to all of my friends and family!

- Catherine, 09/10/2024 21:07, Travelled in a Couple

Well organised itinerary which provided great range of optional excursions, opportunity to swim in a range of spots off the boat & explore the islands of Croatia. Tour guide (Kkara) was fun & crew of Salve de Mare were friendly & efficient. A great bunch of fellow travellers helped create a great cruise !

- Julie, 09/10/2024 18:01, Travelled in a Couple

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sail Croatia experience! A fabulous way to explore some of Croatia's beautiful islands in a relaxed atmosphere with the opportunity to make new friends while soaking up the sun and cooling off in the clear blue water with swim stops along the way. The crew were warm, helpful and the food was outstanding. We will definitely be recommending Sail Croatia to friends and family, we may even sign up for another cruise in the near future!

- Kathryn , 09/10/2024 17:53, Travelled in a Couple

An amazing week sailing around Croatia with an incredible crew on board the Tempera. Ioana our guide was incredible - always going the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed and were happy! Even with some bad weather that meant we had to slightly alter our route, we still had a fantastic time as she had excellent suggestions for things for us to do. An all round amazing week in Croatia!

- Francesca, 09/10/2024 11:45, Travelled in a Couple

The crew was amazing; friendly, knowledgeable and provided great service. The boat was clean and comfortable. The trip was the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. Thank you to the Tempera Crew!!

- LIz, 09/10/2024 11:44, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia - Katarina Explorer cruise was an amazing way to visit the beautiful coast of Croatia. The crew was friendly, attentive and so professional. I would recommend the cruise to anyone looking for wonderful experience.

- Samantha, 09/10/2024 10:46, Travelled in a Couple

Loved the week on the ship. Met some great people. Mostly from Australia, UK and USA. Particularly enjoyed the swim stops. Great food too. Be aware though that the ship docks late afternoon in each location so some of the advertised shore excursions will not happen. We found this disappointing and would recommend Sail Croatia only promote those excursions that have a realistic chance of going ahead.

- Rhys, 09/10/2024 09:12, Travelled in a Couple

We sailed on the Katarina from Dubrovnik to Split. The Captain, crew, and Nikos were attentive to our needs and made every effort to accommodate our needs. We unfortunately had to skip some swim stops due to weather, but the crew made sure that we had plenty of activities. I thoroughly enjoyed every stop along the cruise, and would book it again.

- Stephen Carleton, 09/10/2024 04:55, Travelled in a Couple

The crew was great, they were friendly and really took care of us. The food was excellent and the ports we stopped at were really nice. This is a great way to explore Croatia with no stress or big crowds on a cruise ship.

- Chris, 08/10/2024 16:22, Travelled in a Couple

We had an amazing first time cruise with sail Croatia. We opted for the Katerina ship which was immaculate inside and out. The crew were superb and attention to detail was amazing. Especially the bar manager Ivana. Food was lovely, we stayed below deck and the room was perfect and spacious. We went on a explorer cruise and the mix of people on our ship was great. Despite having a couple of days of not so good weather the crew managed to make alternate arrangements which didn't impact us which shows great flexibility. All in all would 100% recommend and will definitely being travelling again.

- Nigel, 08/10/2024 12:23, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and I were a little hesitant about booking a cruise since we are not typically "cruise people" but we happy we did! The boat was the perfect size. It was great waking up every morning to a view of the Adraiac sea. The crew was amazing and were all very friendly and welcoming. The lunch on the boat was delicious everyday. My only complaint is that I wish the coffee was left out a bit longer after breakfast.

- Justine, 07/10/2024 16:52, Travelled in a Couple

We had a fantastic trip on Tempera. The crew and our tour guide Ioana were excellent. Ioana was funny, warm, a great communicator and brilliant at getting us all organised. We thought it was a great itinerary with plenty of optional excursions. The ship was comfortable and the food onboard was delicious. The trip was a wonderful way to see some of the beauty of Croatia. We would highly recommend. Thank you Ioana and Tempera crew!

- Anonymous, 07/10/2024 16:41, Travelled in a Couple

Simply a perfect cruise. Staff were attentive, service excellent, and truly made us feel welcome. Great selection for breakfast, and lunches were varied and delicious. Nikkos our host was spot on with his recommendations, and some of the dinners were the best ever eaten. Spacious cabin, with first class washrooms. The only thing missing was... more time.

- Robert, 07/10/2024 10:53, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and I really enjoyed the sail from Split to Dubrovnik. The ship and crew went above and beyond. All stops and excursions we took were very enjoyable.

- Michelle, 07/10/2024 08:41, Travelled in a Couple

The crew and accommodations are spectacular. We’ll be recommending Sail Croatia to all our friends. Niko is a brilliant host that added so much color to the tour. Keep him happy!!!!!! Thank you. You made a difference in my life……

- Brian , 07/10/2024 06:34, Travelled in a Couple

Very well organised. Crew did a fantastic job. Everything is cleaned every day. Can’t say any more about them. Definitely no negatives. Totally recommend.

- Leanne, 07/10/2024 06:04, Travelled in a Couple

An amazing trip! A wonderful tour guide, group of fellow travellers, crew and boat made this cruise one that we’ll always remember. Nikos our tour guide went above and beyond to make sure every guest was catered for and happy. His expert knowledge, patience and commitment to his job were greatly appreciated. Every crew member was helpful and friendly, doing their work at a very high standard. The vessel was scrubbed and polished from top to bottom daily, keeping it in pristine condition. The food was varied and delicious. Thank you Sail Croatia

- Leigh, 07/10/2024 05:39, Travelled in a Couple

Dino was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. He communicated well and had alternative plan when the weather wasn't looking good. The crew took a little longer to warm to us but once they did it made the whole experience so much better- this may have been a language barrier at the start but by the end excellent. The meals were excellent and thank you to both chief's really impressive stuff.

- Lyndon , 07/10/2024 02:26, Travelled in a Couple

Things that made our trip special - *The crew who were so good at their jobs but also took the time to get to know everyone and did it with a smile and a laugh * Our tour guide, Nikos, who went the extra mile every time to make sure we were all happy *The chefs who made amazing food *And all the special touches that made us feel we were being taken care of. *Our fellow passengers all got along well which made the trip so much fun and we felt like a family. Alot of that was because of the energy of the boat. It was clear everyone was happy in their jobs and got along very well. Our trip was amazing and we have so many memories to take home.

- Karen, 04/10/2024 10:49, Travelled in a Couple

Bought the explorer sail package and it was absolutely perfect. Wake up, have breakfast buffet on board, the captain would drop us off for a swim stop (1-3 hours), then it’s a 3 course lunch, right as we finish our lunch we have arrived at our new destination. We then had the rest of the day to explore at our own pace or sign up for the additional excursions. It was the perfect balance of scheduled and free time. I can’t wait to go back to Croatia!

- Han, 03/10/2024 15:56, Travelled Solo

We had so much fun on the boat! The meals were fantastic. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Our tour guide was so much fun and knowledgeable.

- Amanda, 02/10/2024 17:09, Travelled in a Couple

Our first visit to Croatia was made even more perfect by the Sail Croatia cruise. We were on the Katarina. It had an awesome crew who looked our every need. The boat was spotless & clean, service amazing & they made the whole experience very special. Our choice for using Sail-Croatia was made after a friends recommendation last year and you did not disappoint. The larger sized cruise ships have never appealed but this smaller, more personal choice was perfect. We are already planning our next trip. Finally a special callout to our Tour Manger/Host - Dino who made it perfect!! Thank you xx

- Carol, 02/10/2024 06:44, Travelled in a Couple

This was a spectacular sailing experience. Our captain sailed the boat to wonderful swim spots and our cruise director Klara was charming, fun, and very energetic with interesting information of each Croatian Island we visited. The bar and food servers did a prompt, friendly, and outstanding job! And the cooks(Chefs)presented beautiful and delicious dishes! This experience was amazing. The only thing I would recommend is that we get an earlier email on what to bring and that it was a CASH only for your drinks and tips at the end of trip. A lot of people travel ahead of the sailing trip and don’t check on their emails. That info would have been better to know if it had been received at least 4 weeks before actual cruise date.

- Nancy, 02/10/2024 03:18, Travelled in a Couple

WOW!! I can't say enough amazing things about our trip! We had an absolute blast and took home tons of great memories. We sailed on the Salve di Mare and it was sensational. The staff was courteous, the captain was knowledgable and our tour host Klara was amazing!! She gave thorough history of each island we visited and was always gracious and went the extra mile to assure we had an amazing time. Loved meeting so many new friends as well; as much as I was ready to go home it was quite sad leaving such a fun week! Would definitely recommend!!

- Shawna, 01/10/2024 12:57, Travelled in a Couple

Sailing on luxury Katarina with our 7 days planned out perfectly-incredible crew whose job is to create a fun incredible & comfortable trip. The Captain, his family & crew plus Dino our cruise director made every day special. We visited so many beautiful places,swam in remote coves ate delicious food and made lifelong friends. From around the world. We are already planning our next Sail Croatia cruise.

- Lorraine, 01/10/2024 10:04, Travelled in a Couple

The trip exceeded my expectations! Croatia is such a wonderful place with welcoming people and breathtaking sites. The entire team on board the Katarina was incredible. Special shout outs to Dino our cruise director and host (all around great guy with a passion and pride for his homeland) and to Ivana running the Salon with the wonderful servers. All of the passengers on the cruise were a blast, and it was a pleasure to become friends! Looking forward to more adventures and would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone. Thank you Katarina crew!

- Ken, 30/09/2024 16:35, Travelled in a Couple

Had a fantastic time on board the Katarina! Everything was perfect from beginning to end. We were greeted by Dino on the sidewalk when we arrived, and he explained the immediate details we needed. We had an amazing time with our fellow passengers from around the world, visited the most beautiful places imaginable, and tasted some great food and wine. The ship was immaculate, the crew was fantastic, and weather was perfect! Dino was so helpful no matter when we needed him, or for what! He is a gem! so many memories I will always cherish! Thank you to all!

- Anonymous, 30/09/2024 15:19, Travelled in a Couple

Our Sail Croatia representative Klara was the nicest, most genuine and funny tour host we have ever had! She supplied us with just the right amount of information and was truly a friend of all. The ship, the Salve de Mare. was fantastic and the crew was wonderful. The itinerary and swim spots were perfect! Overall a great holiday.

- Leo, 30/09/2024 11:48, Travelled in a Couple

We are very experienced cruisers, having sailed on nearly every size ship, so we wanted to try something very intimate and the Katerina did not disappoint. The captain and his crew were excellent. Dino, our cruise manager, was great and kept us all updated (and entertained) throughout the trip. We also lucked out with near perfect weather and a wonderful mix of fellow passengers from the U.S., Canada, Ireland and Australia. I highly recommend sailing onboard the Katerina!

- Patrice, 30/09/2024 10:24, Travelled in a Couple

What a beautiful country to explore. The boat and the crew was excellent. Massive thank you to our wonderful tour guide Klara, her knowledge and laughter all week was amazing…..she needs a pay raise 😂👍.

- Adrian, 30/09/2024 08:36, Travelled in a Couple

From the moment you stepped on board Princeza Diana, you felt welcomed. Klara our hostess was extremely professional, informative and lots of fun. We are so appreciative of all of her help on board. It made our trip truly special. All the other staff were also amazing. The boat was beautiful, cabins deluxe, and the food incredible. Every port and swim spot we stopped at was magical. We are so grateful we had such a fantastic and memorable experience on Princeza Diana. Will definitely recommend to anyone heading to Croatia. Thankyou.

- Peter, 30/09/2024 07:27, Travelled in a Couple

Trip of a lifetime made possible by the accomodations, experience and friendship of our tour guide Dino and the crew of the Katarina. Various stops was one better than the next. Activities were perfectly laid out and finally the other guest on board made this an over the top experience. Louise and I hope to see everyone again someday! Thank you all... "Sounds Good?"

- Douglas, 30/09/2024 07:25, Travelled in a Couple

The entire staff was gracious, friendly, very helpful and professional. Dino (our tour manager) was great, Ivana in the bar and dining area was fabulous. The Captain was very approachable and answered questions. The rooms were cleaned daily. It was perhaps the best run hospitality I’ve ever experienced. The group of passengers (all new to us) also added to the very positive experience. Highly recommend the particular ship.

- Michael, 30/09/2024 07:17, Travelled in a Couple

It's ok

- Navi, 30/09/2024 05:10, Travelled Solo

Wonderful experience on the Salve di Mare from beginning to end. If on the fence, book it! This is by far the best way to experience the Dalmatian coast in a short time - swim stops with no crowds, FULL afternoons and evenings to explore, wonderful people, and no hassle of packing up every couple of days. Attention to detail and level of service provided by all staff was much appreciated. Someone saw that I didn’t eat a fish entree (although it looked delicious!), and the next afternoon, I was offered a vegetarian dish when fish was served again. While the weather wasn’t perfect and the schedule was shuffled a few times, the communication and coordination from Vicko more than made up for it. He was very informative, kept us all up to date, and helped to make reservations that we would have been unlikely to secure. A note to future travelers - it is difficult to contain the water in the cabin showers, so don’t make my mistake by leaving clothes you wish to wear again on the floor!
