Our cruise was very relaxing with the right balance of activities and interaction with other guests. We really loved the swim stops each day and the meals were of premium quality and presentation. There was plenty of space on the boat, Esperanza, to feel like you could have some privacy and then interact when we wanted to. We would recommend the cruise and we had a great time., the crew was very helpful and friendly.

We had the best time on the Olimp especially having a great tour guide, Ionna. The only thing I would have liked changed was to have coffee and tea readily available. Thanks for a wonderful holiday and very memorable.
- Anne, 22/10/2024 06:29, Travelled in a Couple
The Elegance cruise aboard the Olimp was such a delight! The holiday was effortless and the onboard food an absolute standout. Our tour guide was very entertaining, helpful and always available. The swim stops were a highlight for me. The cabin was roomy and the Olimp is beautifully maintained by a committed crew. I’d go again in a heartbeat!

My husband and myself signed up for this cruise with 5 other friends and we had a fantastic time. The Olimp is very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The crew was awesome- Ioana was an organized and fun cruise director who kept us informed and provided great recs for each stop of our cruise. This was our first time on a cruise and we found that the size of the ship and number of guests was just perfect. We enjoyed getting to know other guests on the cruise. Sail Croatia did an excellent job of communicating before the cruise as well.

The Olimp yacht was beyond amazing! And our tour director Ioana was the best we have ever had! She was amazing and catered to all our needs above and beyond!

The tour director, Ivana went over and above- very responsive to people. So kind and knowledgeable! The meals were amazing- better than most restaurants. I liked having the down time in the morning to relax and a good overview of what was available in town made town visits enjoyable. The captains dinner with dancing and singing after was a kick. Thank you for everything!

We avoided the extreme heat and crowds that summer in Croatia usually brings. We were still able to swim in the mornings and enjoy walking around the smaller towns. The food on the Esperanza was quite good. Our tour director Ivana did a good job keeping us informed and on schedule.

This was a trip we had anticipated and looked forward to for almost a year. Traveling with lifetime friends, this was the last week of a 3 week Croatian experience. The ship Esperanza was lovely and so well maintained. Our cabins were adequate and spacious as ships go. The beds were great!!! Our crew and cruise director Ivana could not have been more helpful. The daily briefings ,and restaurant recommendations prior to making port were so helpful and much appreciated . It was everything we hoped and more.
- Mary, 16/10/2024 12:39, Travelled in a Couple
Sailed on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik and back. It was great to visit some smaller destinations. We were extremely well looked after by all the crew. A special mention has to go to our guide Ioana who brought her energy every day.
- Wendy, 16/10/2024 08:13, Travelled with Family
The other passengers were lovely and kind. The staff were very professional and helpful. Ivana was a brilliant Tour Manager too.

The Olimp was a beautiful ship with a warm and professional crew. The other passengers also helped make the experience fun and memorable. Top the vacation off with the stunningly beautiful country of Croatia and the friendly people and you have a magical combination. We enjoyed seeing ports that the large cruise ships do not get to stop. We loved that there were only 36 passengers on the Olimp, and we got to know all of our shipmates. Airport transports were seamless! Accommodations, meals, and service were all superb. We felt safe and well cared for, so that all our focus was on enjoying the time on the ship and in the various ports. We would definitely book again with Sail Croatia.
- Mary, 15/10/2024 10:59, Travelled in a Couple
We travelled up the Croatian Coast in Oct. 2024. The trip was simply terrific. The itinerary was first rate, the crew could not do enough to accommodate us, the ship was beautiful, and the food was better than restaurants. Overall we are recommending this type of travel, with Sail Croatia, to all of our friends.

The ship was comfortable and quite luxurious. Staff were very helpful and always pleasant The food was excellent. Congratulations to the chefs The cabin was cleaned daily and towels and bedding changed. Well done to the maid The captain changed the route when necessary to enjoy a safe venue and sheltered areas to swim. Being able to use the drop down platform enabled me to enjoy the daily swim stop. I would not have been able to do the swimming without it. Captain and crew did everything to enhance our experience. The travel guide V was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour. All in all a very positive and memorable trip. I woul highly recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you Sail Croatia and staff of Olimp.

The ship was clean and well maintained with all the comforts you need.Luxury Elegance cruise let’s you decide what you would like explore on the excursions to the islands - perfect holiday!!
- Candee , 09/10/2024 06:57,
We felt safe under the sailing of our experienced Captain, and he knew exactly where to stop for the best swimming spots; our host and guide, Karolina, was friendly and caring, and she was very knowledgeable about Croatia’s history and culture; our waiter, Tomislav, was amazing, he went above and beyond to make sure that all the guests and all the staff had everything they needed; and we sailed with a wonderful group of people who were from Canada, Australia, and the US. It was an amazing and memorable sailing experience!
- Renée, 08/10/2024 20:44,
We enjoyed exploring the small islands of Croatia, each has its own character and personality. The boat had every comfort, cosy bed, proper bathroom with plenty of hot water. Breakfast had a great choice, lunch was delicious. Lots of space on top deck for sunbathing or relaxing. Very friendly staff and tour manager, who organised cycle hire in Mijet. Free time in the evenings was appreciated, to explore at your own pace.

This was one of the best vacations in all of my years of traveling. Our guide, Karolina, was spectacular . The cabin was small but manageable. The food, especially lunch, was healthy and delicious. The islands were all beautiful and different.
- Debbie, 06/10/2024 11:50, Travelled in a Couple
Everything about the cruise was great except the food. I don’t eat fish and the substitute for fish was chicken nuggets from a frozen packet and a mince paddy from a frozen packet. I believe you should have had choices of meals. Less hot food and more salads or even bbq’s. our cruise director Karolina was absolutely fantastic. She knew everything as was a pure delight to deal with. Our skipper took us to places that were beautiful. We were well looked after by the crew, who cleaned our rooms served us at the bar and served us with food. We had wonderful guests on board too. Thanks. Regards Louise and William Woodburn

I can’t say enough. The boat was designed for passenger comfort, the rooms were large with nice accommodations, the crew had a warm, caring attitude, kept the boat spotless and the food was just delicious. We had a terrific time traveling from Split to Dubrovnik, very scenic islands, and calm waters. Our host, Vedran, was exceptional. He was informative with a great sense of humor. We loved our table mates from Australia and had many lively discussions about our travels. It was just so enjoyable to be on a smaller boat in such a beautiful area.

The olimp was outstanding and the captain was a real asset and a really nice guy ! Great crew members ! Great service from ioana who was very helpful , knowledgeable and extremely hard working in the pursuit of happy passengers A few areas that would have made the cruise better were to have water in the cabins daily and access to tea and coffee at all times ! ( for the price you have paid ) The day the ship was In Dubrovnik I think it should have docked earlier to allow more time to see the city
- Lynn, 29/09/2024 13:36, Travelled in a Couple
Everything about our cruise on The Olimp was fantastic. The cabins were very comfortable, great showers and quite roomy. The food was amazing - every meal absolutely delicious. The boat was beautiful we had lots of space to relax and the captain chose excellent swim spots. The stops at the various towns were great and V we had time to wander and see the sights.. I have wanted to do this cruise for a long time and I was not disappointed - it was absolutely 5 star ⭐️

Our September cruise on the Queen Jelena was wonderful. The ship is as depicted and very clean. Highlights include: - stops to swim in the Adriatic Sea - delicious meals - Mia, our tour manager, was very helpful, knowledgeable and available - charming ports and excursions in Dubrovnik (old town), Split ( the palace), Mljet ( biking through National Park)

Everything about this trip was amazing. The swim stops, the food, the wonderful staff and the fantastic friends we made onboard. The Captains dinner with local entertainment and the typical Croatian dinner with wine in Stari Grad were definitely two very special experiences for us. The information we got both in person and on the WhatsApp from Mia was SO helpful and we never had to worry about our plans for the next destination. Some destinations and sailing times had to change because of the weather but we were kept well informed ahead of time so that was good. Only thing I would change if I could, the “vacuum” style hairdryer attached to the wall in the WC that had minimum drying power 🫣. Highly recommend Sail Croatia 💯.

It was a great experience. Vedren was wonderful. Not only knowledgeable but was so fun to be with. We had a wonderful time and will let all know what a wonderful time we had. The staff and captain were also great. Thank you for a wonderful 50th Anniversary.

I think the whole experience was very smoothly and efficiently run by Mia who was superb. She was informative and had a lovely sense of humour! The rest of the crew were working hard in the background and never intrusive. The Queen J is a lovely ship but I felt that there could have been a little more ‘health and safety walking from ship to ship especially for those that are not quite so stable on their legs! We were very lucky to have a great bunch of ship mates!
- Anonymous, 25/09/2024 11:19,
Highly professional, seemless service from Sail Croatia yet again! First class crew who all worked so hard during our trip. Excellent cruise director who went over and above to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves. Meeting such lovely engaging fellow passengers. We started out as strangers and finished up as firm friends!
- Alison, 25/09/2024 06:59, Travelled in a Couple
The ship was beautifully maintained and very comfortable. The downstairs cabin was very spacious, quiet and comfortable. The food was delicious. The staff were great. The best thing was swimming off the back of the boat in glorious bays every day. The lovely towns that we stopped at on the gorgeous Croatian coast. Vedran, our tour manager made a wonderful trip even better.
- Julie, 24/09/2024 14:33, Travelled in a Couple
Mia our boat coordinator made sure we had the best experience. Very relaxing way to cruise around the islands.

We enjoyed seeing so many of the islands in one trip. The captain was exceptional at docking in quaint swim spots. We really appreciated the daily information provided by Vedran, our host on the ship. He gave a great overview of each island with a great sense of humour and very useful tips.
- Lynn, 24/09/2024 06:23,
From the pickup when we arrived at the airport to the dropoff when we left, we were well looked after. The ship was comfortable, the crew were friendly and professional, the tour host was informative and fun. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, with relaxing mornings and active afternoons, the sights were amazing to see.
- Barbara , 24/09/2024 04:52,
From the moment we got on board and met all the guests and staff we felt at home and very special. Our beautiful cabin manager Ioanna or Jo as we called her and all the staff were fantastic! Boris and Stella behind the bar and serving our meals each day, cooked by our wonderful chefs was fantastic. Swim stops and our friendly sailors who set everything up we’re also fantastic. Captains dinner was so much fun as was the village dinner and we loved our below deck cabin too. Thanks to our captain and crew for a wonderful trip on the stunning Olimp and to our new friends we have made around the world .

Our cruise director Ioana and the entire crew were outstanding and worked hard to take care of us and meet all of our needs! The ship was beautiful and spotless, the food was outstanding, and the daily activities were numerous, flexible, and enjoyable. We loved southern Croatia and the luxury of visiting it from the Olimp!

Above expectations! The itinerary was great. Loved each port. Food was outstanding. The staff were wonderful. Kudos to the following: Mia-cruise manager-kept us informed, provided site suggestions and timely updates. Responsive to all needs. Capt Vlado-Made changes to itinerary to keep us sheltered from inclement weather. Ensured smooth sailing. Anna and Antonia-our dining/bar staff-super friendly and attentive. Cook staff-I was amazed by the food onboard. Special thanks for accommodating me as a vegetarian. My only negative comment is that the wifi was a struggle. Several of us were constantly trying to access it which meant not all guests had up to date info.
- Dianne, 21/09/2024 13:31, Travelled with Friend/s
Not sure where to even start - we had smiles on our faces from the moment we were greeted by our cruise rep for the trip, Vedran. He made us feel welcome and we knew we were in a fabulous trip! The staff of 7 (not including Vedran and Captain Gordan) did everything they could to make our 7 days the best they could ever be. Everyday we went to a new island full of beauty unlike anything we've ever seen! Vedran gave us some much education, information and recommendations at each location which was extremely helpful! His passion for Croatia is infectious! Our room was cleaned every morning by sweet Ella (a thank less job but very appreciated). Our room was very comfortable - we opted for a room on the lower level and it was perfect! The chefs - Frane and Ana, created a lovely breakfast and delicious, large lunches every day and they were great! Our waiters/baretenders - Tomo and Pamela - were so professional and so fun to get to know. I miss everyone so much! Until next time.
