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!

- Maureen, 22/10/2024 04:30, Travelled in a Couple

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.

- Michelle, 22/10/2024 02:01, Travelled in a Couple

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!

- valerie scherer , 21/10/2024 14:10, Travelled in a Couple

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!

- Janet, 18/10/2024 08:28, Travelled with Friend/s

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.

- Patricia, 17/10/2024 05:35, Travelled with Friend/s

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

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.

Our guide Karolina was professional, well organized, friendly, always smiling, helpful. One could not ask for more! The food was very tasty and prepared with care. The entire crew was just great. Only compliments to all. We enjoyed our vacation with Sail Croatia and would recommend it to anyboby. With thanks Barbara and Piotr Boni

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.

- Anonymous, 08/10/2024 12:36, Travelled in a Couple

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

Beautiful scenery and history of Croatia!

- Cathy, 04/10/2024 15:35, Travelled with Friend/s

We enjoyed each town we visited. The ship was beautiful and clean and the staff was friendly and accommodating.

- Denise, 01/10/2024 10:39, Travelled with Friend/s

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.

- Kathy, 30/09/2024 15:01, Travelled in a Couple

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Loana was a great cruise director. The ship was well maintained. We would recommend this cruise to anyone.

- James, 30/09/2024 14:27, Travelled with Friend/s

Breakfast hours to be extended with better coffee, too weak! Shouldn’t have to purchase at ar to get good coffee. Overall the food needs improvement, meat was overcooked & repetitive. Also need to provide water in the cabins to be readily available especially through the night. Cabins could use updating, get rid of carpeting. Also replace lumpy pillows & improve mattress. Also provide snacks outside of meal hours or to purchase at bar. Lastly Captain’s dinner is nice idea but the entertainment overtook everything & too long, people couldn’t socialize as a result of being too loud. Our cruise Director & staff were good to us

- Erin & John, 29/09/2024 18:29, Travelled in a Couple

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 ⭐️

- Meredith, 27/09/2024 19:22, Travelled with Friend/s

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)

- Chris, 27/09/2024 14:03, Travelled with Friend/s

The lovely people we met on our boat. Wonderful staff looked after us. The ports were great.

- Susan, 27/09/2024 00:59, Travelled in a Couple

Our friends from the neighborhood sailed with us - but the other passengers were lovely addition to the vacation. Mia was the best! So knowledgeable and pleasant.

- Rhonda, 26/09/2024 14:40, Travelled with Friend/s

We had a great group of passengers that made it a really inclusive, friendly and fun first cruise.

- Paddy, 26/09/2024 14:17, Travelled in a Couple

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.

- Debbie, 25/09/2024 14:37, Travelled with Friend/s

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.

- Rachel , 24/09/2024 06:56, Travelled in a Couple

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 .

- Michelle , 23/09/2024 11:10, Travelled with Friend/s

Mia was the greatest communicator with a lovely disposition. We had a wonderful time and hope to sail with you again.

- Rhea, 22/09/2024 23:49, Travelled in a Couple

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!

- Anonymous, 21/09/2024 22:04, Travelled in a Couple

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

We enjoyed a lovely week on the Queen Jelena, sailing from Split to Dubrovnik and visiting several beautiful islands enroute. The cabin (lower) was comfortable and the food good. We met some lovely people among our fellow travellers. Our Cruise Manager, Vedran was superb. He had excellent knowledge of the places we visited and kept us all entertained with his dry sense of humour. Despite a few thunderstorms hanging around we managed to visit all of the islands on our itinerary.

- Judith, 19/09/2024 16:19, Travelled in a Couple

Ms Olimp ship had everything we needed. Crew was attentive and amazing. They became our friends for 7 days! Chef made incredible meals, Ionna made every accommodation work for the excursions we wanted. I would highly recommend this cruise.

We've just returned from a fabulous week sailing on The Olimp with Ioana as our Tour Manager. Can't say enough how wonderful the whole crew were and they looked after us like we were family. The ship itself far exceeded our expectations - it was spotless, very spacious & luxurious. Our holiday was topped off by a wonderful group of fellow passengers from all over the world. We would highly recommend the experience. Thanks to our Captain & whole crew, Ioana (who was brilliant) and everyone on board for making it such a memorable week. Kathy & Myles Cooper xxx

Sail Croatia provided the backdrop and the means for a wonderful holiday. Attentive staff, clean environment, amazing excursions, and fabulous food presented with flair was all experienced while sailing with the Queen Jelena. She is an amazing ship. We had the vacation that we will never forget, thank you Captain Gordon to all that made sailing the islands of Croatia an unforgetable experience. 5 star for sure.

- Tracey McCormick , 18/09/2024 14:00, Travelled in a Couple

Great staff. Made friends with other passengers. Meals on board were great. Beautiful scenery. The boat was expertly steered through storms. Not so good - tour of Vis, Verdan sold it to us as a scenic tour. I didn't expect most of it to be going through military bunkers. I wanted to see the island, not the inside of some old military thing. Dinner at Korcula was not good or tour of Korcula - that woman was painful in her terrible attempts to be humorous.

- Judith, 17/09/2024 18:06, Travelled in a Couple

It was a great week! I loved the daily schedule: wake up, eat breakfast on board, swim stop in a secluded cove, shower, lunch on board, then arrive into port in mid-afternoon. Enjoy the destination and return as late as you want. I liked having dinner at each destination so I could try the local food. The food on the ship was very good. This ship was much better than a large cruise ship (about 38 passengers). It can get into smaller ports, and I can't stand the cruise ship crowds. I also loved not having to pack and unpack between destinations.

- Marina, 17/09/2024 17:49, Travelled in a Couple

What a fabulous way to experience Croatia! Although we had some weather challenges along the way, our Captain Jure kept us safe. The food was fabulous, the accommodations were larger than expected and our Tour Manager was so much fun. A few things to consider: the blow dryer in the room was not good so bring your own! The WiFi was unavailable in the lower cabins but fine at the back of the ship, it can get choppy on the sea so bring your Dramamine! Had a great time!

- Anonymous, 17/09/2024 15:39, Travelled in a Couple

A very relaxing, and professionally run week on board the Queen Jelena. Fantastic food, everything very clean, lots of swimming spots, great tours extra options . Staff were great, friendly and informative.

Relaxing. Good food. Great excursions. Beautiful daily swim spots! Amazing representation with a great sense of humor. Knowledgeable with history of each Island.

- Sally, 17/09/2024 01:48, Travelled in a Couple

We spent a week on the Olimp in September 2024 and can honestly say it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. From the luxury of the boat to the wonderful crew we were thoroughly spoilt. We met some great friends and saw just how beautiful the Croatian coastline is. Our daily swim stops and evenings spent in a different island made it a magical week. Special thanks go to our Captain Jure and our Tour Manager Ioana for their exceptional service.

- Lesley, 12/09/2024 09:25, Travelled with Friend/s
