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.

Our tour manager. Ioana was so engaging and had a great sense of humour. She was inclusive and well organised. The crews were great and the food was delicious.

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!

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.

- Julie Bozicevic , 15/10/2024 15:36, Travelled Solo

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.

- Anonymous, 15/10/2024 02:27, Travelled with Family

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.

- Jean, 14/10/2024 10:05, Travelled with Family

Had a wonderful time on Esperanza. The crew were spectacular., especially the tour director Karolina. She was very personable and accommodating. The ship was very comfortable and the food top notch! I highly recommend there services.

- Kelle, 14/10/2024 00:55, Travelled in a Couple

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

1. The wifi should work better. 2. For the price of the trip, I expected that we would have access to a good coffee machine 24/7. The urns provided were not satisfactory. 3. The excursions were overpriced. 4. The “included” tour of Dubrovnik should have included a bus to take passengers to the old town. 5. There should be enough treats during the coffee and tea hour (11-12) so everyone has a chance to get a snack. 6. The staff were friendly. 7. The boat was well kept. 8. Our rooms were kept clean. 9. The price of wine (bottles and glasses) were overpriced. 10. The captain’s dinner was very nice. It would have been better if wine was included.

- Anonymous, 09/10/2024 18:36, Travelled with Family

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

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

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

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

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 💯.

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

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

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.

- Cristina, 20/09/2024 18:05, Travelled with Family

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

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.

- Wendy, 17/09/2024 07:26, Travelled in a Couple

Mia, the team leader, and all of the crew. Together with the captain the made the whole experience. The captain navigated to ensure we missed nothing on our itinerary. We are looking to book another cruise next year.

- Catherine , 17/09/2024 06:14, Travelled with Family

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

- Kelli, 11/09/2024 06:51, Travelled in a Couple

The platform to get into the sea was one of the reasons I chose this cruise - just perfect. Our room in the lower deck was very spacious. There was plenty of comfortable places to relax and sun bathe. The food was so delicious and a fabulous varied menu was served. The crew - especially Ioana was so kind and helpful. We would highly recommend this cruise. Lastly the ship was kept incredibly clean by the crew.

- Rosemary, 10/09/2024 12:08, Travelled in a Couple

Honestly every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming. Karolina was amazing and so warm.. we happened to board with a fantastic group of travellers all very kind and friendly. The boat is very comfortable and clean. The daily swims and perfect weather the cherry on the top.

- Catherine, 10/09/2024 10:32, Travelled with Family

From the moment we stepped on the ship we had the most fabulous time.The host Vedran was witty warm and guided us through the week.Our cabins were really clean. We loved every stop and the swimming in the fantastic Adriatic added bonus each day. The crew were warm and efficient and the food lovely. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to visit beautiful Croatia. We were on the Elegance grade and the ages were probably 50's and 60's.

- karen, 10/09/2024 07:12, Travelled in a Couple

I could not have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. The crew were wonderful, especially the guest co-ordinator Karolina. The boat is beautiful, clean and well appointed. The ports we visited were beautiful and each offered a unique experience. The daily swim stops were stunning and really made each day wonderful. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone needing a break or wanting to see and learn about beautiful Croatia. I hope to come back and do it again.

- Leslie, 10/09/2024 04:57, Travelled with Family

The Olimp ship is well designed. The ship is Beautiful and very clean. The crew worked so hard to keep everyone happy. The food was excellent, and the swimming straight from platform super easy for people to get into the water. The sea was stunning every day, the island hopping well organized with an excellent opportunity to have a good balance for free time and being on board. The rooms are fair size with nicely appointed furniture. Our tour facilitator was super, providing us good information and wonderful opportunities to see highlights of the areas we visited.
