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!

- Lauren, 27/10/2024 12:48, Travelled Solo

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.

- Aimee, 26/10/2024 22:10, Travelled Solo

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

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

It's ok

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

Dino was an excellent sail leader. He provided great recommendations and helped make navigation super east. I’ve been able to return to Dubrovnik solo with no issues getting there. He made the trip very fun and carefree.

- Steph, 23/09/2024 12:51, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia was a very pleasant surprise, it really exceeded my expectations in many levels. Staff was extremely attentive and accommodating to every guest’s needs. Food and service were amazing. Ship was very clean. Different options were given every day for optional excursions. Ship schedule was perfect to enjoy every stop’s treasures and nightlife for those who wished. Ioana was our host and was always around to bring groups together and make everyone feel involved. I was traveling solo but never felt alone. We all felt like family by day 2. Fun laughs and memories to cherish forever. I would come back again and again!

- Karina, 13/09/2024 10:30, Travelled Solo

The people. If you want some fun in the sun while exploring the culture and beauty of Croatia book yourself in as soon as you can!

- Sophie, 09/09/2024 00:43, Travelled Solo

Tonka and Loana were great cruise leaders . They and the rest of the crew were very friendly and always available to answer questions and /or help in any way. They were also very flexible with regard to on-boat activities . The swim stops were beautiful and safe. The boat was steady .It was a wonderful way to explore the small islands along the Croatian coast. It was great that the bar was open to the wee hours. However, a more diverse cocktail menu is suggested.The wines were great. There were a few snags on the boat. E.g. intermittent unpleasant sulphur-like oder in the cabin. The cabin could use brighter lighting , especially in the bathroom. Also, I would suggest washable flooring in the cabins to make them less prone to mildew. The Sail Croatia experience was spectacular! I would do it again.

- juana, 01/09/2024 13:27, Travelled Solo

The whole Tempura team was amazing. The food, the service, the excursions… everything was top notch! As a solo traveler amongst all friends and couples, I felt like I was taken in as part of a big family! I still had my alone time when I needed it, but most of the time you could find me on the deck with the rest of the group, laughing hysterically or just taking in the breathtaking views. I would 100% recommend Sail Croatia, and I could see myself returning for another trip in the future!

- Allison, 26/08/2024 14:55, Travelled Solo

For the price that you pay which is quite exorbitant I don’t think this experience lives up to the cost or the hype. While the crew and the staff on board as well as the guide are absolutely lovely and the service was great the boat is old, creaky and smelly.. The air-conditioning barely worked and people complained non-stop about the Aircon not working. There were no fans even on deck which are desperately needed to combat the unbearable European summer heat. Unfortunately it did not live up to the expectations and certainly not to the reviews I’ve seen on site. The boats need full renovations and need to be fully updated in order for them to be able to get a higher rating.

- Anonymous, 25/08/2024 14:46, Travelled Solo

Our tour guide Ivana was exceptional - energetic, well organised and informative - she also took the time to get to know us all which in turn helped to bond the group - I boarded as a solo traveller but soon that was forgotten and friends were made. The boats facilities were excellent, modern, clean and fresh. We enjoyed delicious food, the crew were attentive and worked hard to make our trip enjoyable but were also so much fun. ! Highly recommended !!!

- Sally Spencer , 21/08/2024 19:06, Travelled Solo

This was my first solo trip. Sail Croatia was extremely helpful during the planning process. On the trip the staff were wonderful. I did the explorer cruise on Salve di Mare. The food was delicious. I had the best week and am forever thankful for this trip. I highly recommend taking a trip through Sail Croatia, you will not regret it!

- Madison, 12/08/2024 20:12, Travelled Solo

Everything!!! Tour, Crew, Food and Safety Achieved!!! Marija was such a beautiful person who was professional. She was informative, helpful and authentic in her dealings with people. A brilliant tour guide. All the grew members were fabulous and interacted professionally and authentically. You could feel their passion for Croatia and their care for their passengers. Our group of people all interacted and mixed well together.. The itinerary worked well for the 7 nights. Each island was unique in themselves. The swim stops were refreshing, fun, relaxing and enable people to socialise too I found the Tempera to be a great boat and I liked the layout. The top sun deck allowed you to socialise with chit chat, relax in the shade or get a suntan. The middle deck provided another area to socialised or unwind. I felt that the cabin I was in had a lot of room to move about and I enjoyed being above deck. The food was delicious!!!

- Jenine, 12/08/2024 12:29, Travelled Solo

Where do I start. The ship, the cruise director, the staff , the food the tours available and the wonderful passengers. This trip will be won of my more memorable ones even though the airline I flew with lost my luggage and had to buy my essentials before we set sail. It did not spoil the amazing time I had even as a solo traveller. Will highly highly recommend Sail Croatia. 10 points. If I could score more i would. Aussie from Sydney

- Vincenza , 12/08/2024 08:57, Travelled Solo

I spent the week on the Princeza Diana going from Split to Dubrovnik. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect week. The captain and crew were great, the food was AMAZING!! Erol and Nikolina were exemplary serves/bar tenders. Nikos did a wonderful job as our tour director, providing information and history on our daily stops and details and recommendations for activities and restaurants. As a solo traveler, I was able to meet people from all over the world, and left the week with some lifelong friends. I already want to plan another week with Sail Croatia!

- Meghan, 06/08/2024 10:21, Travelled Solo

Firstly, the crew were a huge highlight of the week long sailing up the Croatian coastline on the Adriatic Sea. They were warm and welcoming, energetic, professional and made every effort to make my stay a memorable one. I cannot speak more highly of their efforts to make this week of sailing relaxing and enjoyable, leaving me with no other option but to book again for next year! Secondly. The Tempera was a beautiful ship, exceeding my expectations. Spacious rooms, large deck area for relaxing and gathering together and first class cuisine. The food was amazing! You certainly won’t be hungry! Thirdly, the destinations they chose to stop, not only in port, but also for swim stops were breathtaking. For my first cruise ship experience, this once is going to be hard to beat. Once again, thank you to the crew, our knowledge and welcoming tour leader and Sail Croatia for making my first time in Croatia one I will not forget!!

- Christopher , 06/08/2024 07:31, Travelled Solo

The crew! Anita, Nicolina & Erol were brilliant, They worked so hard. The Captain & his team kept the boat moving and immaculate and the cooks provided us with so much food but our daily interaction with the "front of house" team was lovely. Anita kept us informed about our visits and was such a friendly and helpful leader. Nicolina & Erol were just great and kept us well "watered". We were so well looked after.

- Peter, 30/07/2024 15:43, Travelled Solo

I chose an Explorer Cruise on Princeza Diana as I was travelling solo for the very first time. As I am of mature age I felt this trip would be the exact blend of adventure and relaxation. SO TRUE.!!🤗 I spent the week with a wonderful group of people of all ages and could spend as much , or as little time as I pleased socialising. I never felt pushed into late night clubs, opting to drink at the boats bar of a night after dinner. The crew were amazing , especially Erol and Nikolina ,and made me feel like a special guest. Our tour director Anita was amazing and took us all under her wing and organised our adventures, which were always your choice to attend or not. At no time did I not feel included and made some wonderful cruise buddies and friends over the week. Highly recommended

- Helen, 29/07/2024 17:49, Travelled Solo

Everything about this trip was super fun and easy. The boat - Tempera was more comfortable then I expected. I stayed below deck and the cabin was cool and quiet. The shower was honestly big enough for 2 people! Lots of common space outside the cabin to find some quiet time or mingle. The crew - Friendly, competent, attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. Our Sail Croatia rep onboard was knowledgeable, personable and well organised. The food - breakfasts and lunches exceeded my expectations. The itinerary - the Explorer trip suited me perfectly. There was as much or as little as I wanted to do. Every day was the same but different - wakeup, breakfast, swim, lunch while motoring to new town, explore new town in the afternoon (with activities if desired), dinner and party... Also a shout out to my 30 shipmates. This type of holiday encourages mixing with other guests, but it never felt forced. Would do this trip again :)

- Steve, 22/07/2024 19:48, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia was an outstanding experience. The ship was clean and comfortable, the captain and his team were outstanding, and we had an outstanding itinerary that went from Split to Dubrovnik. In between, we stopped at several islands - including Vis, Havar, and Korčula to enjoy this beautiful country. The food was good, it was plentiful, and the daily swim stops were outstanding. What made this extra special was the wonderful crew.

- Christopher Hanifin, 15/07/2024 12:46, Travelled Solo

I had the best time sailing on this squeaky clean boat, sharing this amazing experience with the loveliest people I have met! The fun crew always made sure we were happy and well hydrated with yummy cocktails! 😁 The food was always scrumptious and the music on board was really cool! A special thank you to Marija, our guide, who went above and beyond to take care of us, making our holiday so enjoyable and memorable. I would also like to thank the captain for our beautiful daily swim stops and keeping us safe throughout the journey. The best experience! I highly recommend!!

- Honey, 11/07/2024 13:14, Travelled Solo

As a 32 year old solo traveller I was a bit hesitant about this trip but quite possibly had the best week of my life. I was very fortunate to have shared this incredible experience with the best crowd of people from America, Australia and England. Croatia is truly stunning and every island and town we visited was so unique (Split to Dubrovnik route). The crew on this ship (Almissa) were amazing and looked after us so well. The food was 10/10 (food preferences catered for - I am a vegetarian, it was all delicious). Dreamy swim stops every day in secluded coves. Endless fun and cocktails. Marija was our guide who was brilliant with organising daily excursions or anything we wanted to do on each island. The only negative was we didn't want to get off the boat at the end of the week. Thank you Almissa!

- Claudia, 09/07/2024 14:36, Travelled Solo

I was able to see different Croatian cities in a short period of time and travelling in a very comfortable way. The boat was in good conditions and have all the necessary facilities. Also, the excursions that were proposed were amazing and help me to get great experiences in each city. The manager always had good recommendations when it comes to restaurants, bars and attractions. On board we had an excellent team taking good care of us and the food was outstanding. Well done 👍❤️💚

- Ana, 03/07/2024 17:26, Travelled Solo

The boat was perfect size and great number of people Boat was clean and had everything you need and the crew were amazing. They kitchen also catered really well for gluten free for me

- Lauren, 01/07/2024 06:36, Travelled Solo

First up, Ana, our guide, was top notch and probably the best guide I've had on any trip. She provided comprehensive maps at each stop of good restaurants, museums, attractions and bars, carried herself very professionally, and was always polite and informative. She is an asset for Sail Croatia. The staff, were also brilliant. Particularly Branko on the bar. You want your bar staff to be funny, eccentric and great to have a conversation with, and Branko exceeded expectations on all three! The food was also impeccable. The Explorer cruise was also a very good crowd. Perhaps slightly older and more couples than I expected, but it suited me well. The only parts where Sail Croatia fell short for me was some of the experiences. Not having an alternative option instead of rafting (which was unavailable in Makarska on my trip) was disappointing. Even a short walk along the Cetina would have been OK. The Korcula buggy tour was also short and expensive for what it was.

- Lewis, 17/06/2024 20:51, Travelled Solo

Five stars in not quite enough to rate my experience with Sail Croatia! I met the most wonderful people who have become friends and made memories that will last a lifetime as we sailed the Adriatic Sea. The boat was clean, beautifully maintained, and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. The food was next level - every single meal onboard was incredibly delicious. The places we visited and the daily swim stops were out of this world. Our host Nikos was absolutely amazing! His attention to detail and ability to keep things organized so everything on the itinerary could take place was second to none. A massive thanks to the rest of the crew of the Almissa - Frano, Josip, Ivan, Marko, Darija, Ceaser & Sebastian for going above and beyond to make our trip the absolute best! 10/10 would recommend to anyone and I hope to do another sail experience in the future!

- Jenna, 13/06/2024 13:39, Travelled Solo

Had a really lovely week travelling solo on the Explorer.. Everything was excellent from start to finish. The boat was more spacious than expected esp the cabins with a fabulous en-suite shower. The food was outstanding with plenty of it. Finally the crew were also brilliant with Brilliant Brenko on the bar! Lola was our excellent guide who provided really informative facts on Croatian history. & was always willing to answer any questions. The excursions were also great & totally optional - no pressure to join.. Finally we had a great mixture of guests of all ages who really gelled together. All in all would highly recommend this trip!

- Marie, 11/06/2024 20:03, Travelled Solo

The Explorer cruise was the perfect balance of sightseeing, relaxing and fun activities, all in a social setting with the option for some alone time. Not being the party animal I was in my 20s and having more of a disire to see the scenary and learn the history of a place, this tour was perfect. We still had the odd party and was nice and social but traded the thumping music of night clubs for jazz music on beautiful beach front restaurant. The crew and the boat was fantastic, the trip was well planned with plenty of options and flexibility to work around the weather and the best destinations. All up a fantastic week, the highlight of my 2 months abroud so far.

Our sail Croatia representative was really friendly and good at organising our daily activities. The food was amazing and facilities on the boat were top class. Best way to see Croatia.

The week was incredible- the crew was awesome, Klara is an absolute delight, I can’t sing high enough praises for the chef who went above and beyond, especially considering my pain of a dietary restriction. Boat was super clean, scenery was stunning, a very relaxing week and would love to come back!

- Megan, 27/05/2024 09:48, Travelled Solo

I sailed on Tempera from Dubrovnik to Split. The boat was beautiful, so clean and well maintained. The crew were amazing, extremely attentive and kind. Our guide Nikos was excellent and went out of his way to make this a memorable trip. Could not have asked for a better week in Croatia.

- Alex, 16/05/2024 01:04, Travelled Solo

I had a great experience on my explorer cruise on Salve Di Mare. Our tour director Klara had a very bubbly and friendly personality and gave recommendations for each stop we had. Captain Frane and his crew did a wonderful job on board throughout the week. This is one of the better holidays I have been on and I would sail again on Salve Di Mare in a heartbeat!

- Bobby, 07/05/2024 14:21, Travelled Solo

What an AMAZING Croatia cruise trip!! I have so much fun boarding Salve di Mare, with Klara as my tour leader. Grear ship, great crews, great food! Where should I start? The ship is elegant and beautiful, with spacious lounge, wet deck, and sun deck. My room is very comfortable and cleaned regularly, the towels are changed and trash bin is emptied regularly too. Thank you, Martina! Our sailors, Mario, Bepo and Ivan keep the ship save and know what they're doing. Not forgetting our captain, Frane, for making the trip run smoothly - be it choppy water or calm sea. Of course, kudos to Antonio and Bobby, our bartenders who did a very good job - love their friendliness! And also our chefs, Arijan and Marica, thank you! I am so well-fed with the delicious 3-course daily lunch! Last but not least, my tour leader Klara, and all of my new friends who made the trip fun and memorable. This Explorer Cruise with Salve di Mare is a perfect combination of chill and fun (we had a blast on the C

- Theresia, 06/05/2024 13:35, Travelled Solo

This 7 day cruise from Dubrovnik to Split on the Salve de mare exceeded my expectations. The rooms were spacious, the food was amazing, the crew was fantastic and our Tour Manager Vicko was top notch! What a great way to see some of the islands and I loved that we were always docked overnight. The daily swim stops in the beautiful waters was amazing. I travelled solo and made so many new friends, the country is so safe for solo travelers. I highly recommend this cruise and will be back.

Just spent a wonderful week aboard Almissa cruising from Split to Dubrovnik. Although not my first time in Croatia it was my first cruise experience and was the ideal way to visit more of the islands. I travelled solo but met a great bunch of people onboard, both guests and crew. Our guide Klara did a great job of keeping us informed and entertained along the way. The daily routine of breakfast, swim stop, lunch and arrival at our next destination was ideal for a mix of relaxation and exploration. Would highly recommend.

- Carol, 04/10/2023 18:32, Travelled Solo

I went on the 8 day explorer onboard Almissa. It was a fantastic experience. Cozy group of 30 people (+8crew), despite travelling solo, we bonded and made such wonderful connections including the crew. The boat was perfect, not too big, not to luxurious that made you feel uncomfortable. The islands and swim spots were amazing. You could put yourself in the shoes of the early explorers. Sailing is one of the most authentic way for a coastal.country such as Croatia, and sail croatia managed to provide that! I definitely recommend it!

- Petrine Fan, 03/10/2023 06:05, Travelled Solo

The crew on the Almissa were amazing and made sure for a memorable leg of my European adventure. Being a solo traveller and not really knowing what to expect was a little bit daunting, but once I got to know the crew and the other travellers it ended being the most amazing experience. The crew made you feel included and were always up for a chat (or a dance in Tina's case) and Ivan and the rest of the crew made us feel welcomed and included. If we just wanted a chill day you could just lay about on the deck or do a bit of tanning on the sundeck. The swim stops were fantastic and the town's we visited were beautiful and quaint. It gives you a taste of what Croatia is like including the people, the land, the waters and the food. Would highly recommend to anyone and hopefully I'll be able to come back one day.

- Jo, 25/09/2023 10:34, Travelled Solo

I had the most incredible trip and can't wait to do it again next year. I travelled solo which I was very nervous about, the whole crew made me feel so at ease and went above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy at all times. Ivan, our tour guide was so informative and passionate in his role and was available at all times of the day if you needed him. Would 100% recommend the explorer trip if you would like a balance of sight seeing and socialising. Can't wait to get back on board!

- Clare, 25/09/2023 08:39, Travelled Solo

Wasn’t the cruise I planned from start, that was booked up. Was suggested Salve de Mare and so happy I did. From start to finish everything went better then expected. The ship and especially her crew we’re just a great friendly caring bunch on and off the ship. Klara our rep was just wonderful, organised some great tours, hung out with us day and nights, an infectious laugh that can’t be forgotten. All the guests were amazing, great age range on board and we all got along. I definitely enjoyed myself. Thank you Sail Croatia for making it possible, Klara and Crew of Salve de Mare for making it special and the guests for making it unforgettable.

- Anthony, 19/09/2023 07:25, Travelled Solo

Recently returned from a wonderful week on the Almissa! Klara, our guide, was amazing - friendly, knowledgeable and gave great advice for things to do, see, and places to eat at each stop. Tina, Mario, and the whole crew were great! Breakfast & lunch were delicious and varied each day. Boat was impeccably clean and comfortable. Sail Croatia seems to be the best way to see the country! Allows you to get to smaller islands, and the swim spots were highlights!

- Anonymous, 13/09/2023 18:04, Travelled Solo

Boat staff were friendly, efficient and supportive. Ioanna our Sail Croatia rep went out of her way to arrange interesting excursions. Mali Ante was clean and comfortable..

- Deborah, 11/09/2023 10:24, Travelled Solo

The food at lunch should be lighter and healthier.; not pasta and risotto. Sandwiches, salads, roasted vegetables, wraps, would be better. We don’t need dessert. Coffee needs to be out during the morning for longer that one hour. Keep coffee out until 11:00 AM. Happy Hour from 6-7. Drinks at bar poor quality. Quality of cabin was not great. I wasn’t expecting much, but the handle was off my drawer in the bathroom & bed and pillow VERY uncomfortable. I DID enjoy my trip as there was more to enjoy than these things and had a great time. Thank you.

- Sarah, 11/09/2023 03:17, Travelled Solo

I’ve done two sails now. I can safely say in the not too distant future, I’ll probably do a third. Everything about this trip was incredible! Travelling solo for the first time, I was a little nervous. Within minutes of hopping on board and checking in, those nerves disappeared! All passengers were absolutely lovely, and I can safely say I have made some friends for life! The food onboard was delicious, the Roko and Tina at the bar were amazing and knew how to keep up a perfect vibe, our representative Vicko was an absolute star, and the rest of the crew were always smiling and made our trip a breeze. The boat was very clean and provided a lovely environment to socialise or just chill out. The swim stops, the activities, the friendships…all incredible. This is a trip of a lifetime, you MUST do it at least once in your life!

- Natalia, 04/09/2023 00:17, Travelled Solo

Everything was organized very well. Food on board was great. Clean modern rooms with on suite bathrooms and showers. Relaxing experience visiting various islands of Croatia. Also daily swimming off boat was great with provided water equipment such as swimming goggles, floaters, and foot fins.

- Ronen, 02/09/2023 20:36, Travelled Solo

Katarina is an amazing ship, Very luxurious. Ivan (The Captain) and his crew were very knowledgably, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our experience that much more special. The food aboard Katarina is amazing and the service is no different. Stjepan our leader was very well spoken, humorous, and full of knowledge of his country. You could tell he has a real passion for his history and taking care of his group. Would definitely go again!!

- Brandan, 31/08/2023 18:47, Travelled Solo

Steve, and the Katarina crew made for an unforgettable experience. From great food to expert advise on what to do at each stop. I could not have wished for a better atmosphere on board, and cannot recommend a better way of exploring the beautiful islands and the crystal clear water that the Adriatic Sea and Croatia have to offer.
