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.

It's ok

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!!

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

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

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

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.

- Phil, 10/06/2024 07:16, Travelled Solo

Great trip everything was better than expected. Will definitely do it again.

- Anonymous, 10/06/2024 01:54, 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

thank you so much for the trip. everything was great & the staff were all amazing

- Jan, 11/10/2023 02:14, 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

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.

- Anonymous, 30/08/2023 13:18, Travelled Solo

Had the most amazing week in Croatia aboard the Almissa. The boat was clean and very comfortable, and all the staff were amazing from the sailors to Tina and Rocco behind the bar and our representative Vicko. I only had slight issues falling asleep the first couple of nights as the boat was a bit louder than expected but I got used to it during the trip. The provided breakfasts and lunches were also very tasty with very generous portions but I will say maybe a different brand of coffee or machine as the coffee wasn't the best. Thankyou again for the amazing week, can't wait to come back!

- Anthony , 28/08/2023 11:52, Travelled Solo

This was my second time with Sail Croatia, and once again, it was a brilliant trip. A beautiful boat, a great crew and our fantastic tour leader, Dora, made the tour unforgettable.

- Michael, 27/07/2023 12:32, Travelled Solo

The cruise over all was fantastic.

- Adrian, 03/07/2023 06:49, Travelled Solo

Such a great way to explore Croatia, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The cabins were nice considering your on a boat. Our host Ioana was extremely knowledgeable and friendly which made the experience that much better! Sometimes I wish we had spent two nights at some of the bigger destinations like Havr but otherwise great experience! the excursions and activities organised by Ioana were fun and you didn’t have to worry about planning things and just enjoy and relax your time on holidays

- Emad, 10/10/2022 11:06, Travelled Solo

My shipmates were great!

- Anonymous, 28/09/2022 19:58, Travelled Solo

Just returned from doing the explorer trip aboard the princeza Diana and can honestly say it’s one of the best holidays I’ve ever been on, all of the crew on board were awesome, special thanks to the chefs who prepared non dairy alternatives every day so I didn’t miss out on anything, the bar staff work such long hours but always had smiles on their faces and enough energy to keep us entertained and couldn’t do enough for you. The crew kept the boat pristine, everything was spotless and the cabins comfortable. I did get ‘red carded’ for doing the floss but in hindsight kalmia, you were right it was horrendous - no man at 37 should be doing that😎 Much love to all & hope to back one day X

- Adam, 17/09/2022 09:22, Travelled Solo

Awesome boat crew leading by the professional team lead Julie. Trust me she is amazing Excellent service by the Mario & Toni. Thank you all to make my holiday and BD special!

- Alex, 06/09/2022 18:01, Travelled Solo

La tripulacion, los compañeros viajeros las islas y maravilloso mar Adriatico, las muestras de cariño y la comida unica, Un grupo tan joven y activo no tiene desperdicio. Seguid asi siempre y llevad vuestra vida hasta cualquier limite que os propongais.

- Sarge, 31/08/2022 07:37, Travelled Solo

So many different reasons why this was so magical. Firstly Croatia is a stunning country with unlimited intimate charm which I recommend seeing via sailing but mostly with sail croatia as you get to see so much more, But with a team of amazing staff who are well informed and there to give you the best possible time while doing so. The crew worked together to provide excellent service and the food was next level. As a solo traveller I was a little bit nervous but I was made to feel right at home instantly and soon enough princesz Diana was my home and will forever be in my heart. Ivana our tour guide was impecible at her job and gave us lots of detailed information about what was happening during that day, the next day and thr right amount if history. It really did change my life and I will look back on this week as one of the best. If I was you I would I would just get it booked. And no I don't work for sail croatia. Just their biggest fan now. Always

- Daniel , 29/08/2022 05:01, Travelled Solo

The views, the towns, the swimming spots - they were all great. What was even better was the boat itself, the food provided, and the staff who were exceptional for the whole week - Thank you so much!. Not knowing anyone before getting on was not a problem. If you're considering booking, just do it. You won't regret it.

- Ash, 15/08/2022 13:58, Travelled Solo

Far exceeded my expectations! I loved everything about this cruise, the crew on Salve di Mare went above and beyond and Ioana did everything she could to make the trip run smoothly for us. I can’t recommend this cruise from Sail Croatia enough!!!

- Pete, 09/07/2022 05:29, Travelled Solo

This is probably the best way to travel if you want to see a lot of places, but don't want the hassle of organizing every day and driving there. Julie our Tourguide made an awesome job providing everything we need for our excursions as well as information about the cities like history, points of interest or restaurants/bars. Also a shout-out to the chefs Darko and Snijezana for excellent lunch every day. The waiters Stjepan and Karla made great cocktails, were available every time and were always in a good mood. Captain Mate and the Sailors Pero, Nikola and Marin made the trip very smooth. We had a mixed group from America, Australia, UK, Singapur and Germany, which made for a lot of interesting conversations. Overall easily the best vacation I have ever had.

- Marcel, 06/07/2022 22:20, Travelled Solo

Ich bin Ende September mit der Almissa von Split nach Dubrovnik gefahren. Die Yacht ist echt super schön. Meine Kabine auf dem Unterdeck war sehr geräumig, und modern eingerichtet. Die Almissa ist nicht nur eine tolle Yacht, sondern ihre Crew ist auch einfach der Hammer. Alle super nett.. An Bord auch wichtig: Essen war lecker (es hätte aber gerne mehr kroatisches Essen geben können!), die Bar gut bestückt. Wir hatten Ende September noch super Wetter, und die Schwimmstopps in verborgenen Buchten waren echt cool. Allerdings hätte ich mir schon manchmal mehr Zeit auf den Inseln gewünscht, vor allem tagsüber. Vielleicht wäre es eine Idee, verstärkt kleinere Inseln anzulaufen? - Was aber so eine Fahrt besonders macht, sind die Mitreisenden: ich mache normalerweise keine Gruppenreisen, von daher war ich echt sehr positiv überrascht. Unser Tourguide Karolina hat für eine gechillte Atmo an Bord gesorgt. (einen besseren Guide hätte ich mir nicht vorstellen können) Wir waren 25 Gäste an Bord (hauptsächlich Briten und Nordamerikaner, Bordsprache Englisch), hatten einen Mordsspaß zusammen und haben viel gefeiert. Sollte es neue Routen geben, würde ich sicher nochmal mitfahren!

I spent a week on the Salve di Mare, one of the newest ships. The Explorer was the right format for me, with a good mix sightseeing and partying. I highly recommend the Mljet bike excursion. There were some AC issues (which were fixed) and high winds on one morning, but the trip was very enjoyable overall. Fortunately we were a group of like-minded travellers, and our guide Vedran was helpful and friendly. The Sales rep were professional.

Knowing I wanted to see the islands of Croatia -- but recognizing I'm awful at doing my own day-to-day planning -- I booked onto an Explorer cruise with Sail Croatia, onboard ALMISSA. My considerable apprehensions about booking solo into a communal experience were allayed within the first hours -- not only were all the fellow travelers pleasant and friendly (including a few other solo travelers on board), but the crew members were relaxed, hospitable, and very welcoming. Mia, our Sail Croatia guide, was friendly, attentive, and organized. Further, the crew of Almissa clearly take great pride in their work -- not only providing their guests with an unpretentious but fantastic experience, but also caring for the ship they own and/or operate wholeheartedly. The itinerary overall was a good balance of structured vs. free time (although with complete freedom to do as one wishes, regardless), and the food onboard was well crafted and generally delicious. Don't hesitate to book on Almissa!

- Chris, 02/08/2021 15:04, Travelled Solo

Relaxed and played back staff Skipper good guy

- Steve, 16/09/2019 01:10, Travelled Solo

Anna, Captain Yuri, and everyone else in the crew were one of the finest and the most lovely bunch of human beings I have ever came across. The other guests were lovely and I never felt like I was travelling solo. The itinerary was very well made and the boat, Almissa probably is the most beautiful and luxurious boat I have ever come across. I had an amazing time and words are not enough to describe my experience. I can only say that go with Almissa and the crew without even thinking again.

- RG, 05/08/2019 16:18, Travelled Solo

I sailed on the Liberty Explorer cruise and all my expectations for the tour were exceeded! The atmosphere on the ship and the tour itself were incredible. A large contributor to this atmosphere were the staff on the ship. A big thank you to our wonderful tour guide Mateo as well as his colleagues Augustin, Nikola, Andrea, Nina, Dino, Anna, Ivanka, Slavica, Ivan and Captain (who’s name has escaped my mind at this moment!) . They all had a professional yet fun approach and I loved getting to know them all. Hvala! Darian

- Darian , 04/07/2019 09:58, Travelled Solo

All good

- Jens, 10/06/2019 07:00, Travelled Solo

We had an awesome crew. Antonio our guide was always there if we needed him and the rest of the crew welcomed and treated us as part of their family. Wish it was longer as the days disappeared so quickly. Swim stops were amazing. The food was amazing and endless photo opportunities in this amazing country.

- Chris, 20/05/2019 10:42, Travelled Solo

This was my third time around the Islands and the crew of Almissa was of the highest caliber. Great service, Always with a smile. The Guide Ivana, Was extremely helpful, Full of local knowledge and points of interest. The weather wasn't great but the experience on Almissa was.

- Steve, 13/05/2019 05:59, Travelled Solo

The boat and crew were fantastic, but unfortunately I was quite disappointed with the age group of travellers on board. There were a large number of older travellers when I was hoping to mix and mingle with travellers around the same age in the 20-40 age group. The trip is marked for couples, young professionals, young at heart. Unfortunately there were too many 'young at heart' and couples on board for my liking. I would recommend doing a Navigator cruise instead with a Premier boat. On the plus side our guide Ivana was amazing and we had a Sail Croatia photographer with us for the week (still waiting for the pictures though which are overdue),

- Anonymous, 18/09/2018 02:02, Travelled Solo

Crystal was a great and comfortable boat (crusing speed of 8 nots). All the crew were so professional, commanded by captain Andrija who did a wonderful welcome speech. Milos the Chef made every dinner so special with fresh and local products with tasty ingredients. We tried great Croatian dishes. Ivana, the tour conductor from Sail Croatia looked after us the whole time making sure we have a great experiences in the local islands! Always ready with historical facts and great recommendations.

- Anonymous, 02/08/2018 16:20, Travelled Solo

Everything!! The boat was very nice. The crew was friedly and serviceminded. Our guide Antonio was a star. Always so helpful and passionate in his job. He really knew all the places we went to and could recommend what to see/where to go. A perfect balance of leisure and optional activities. And I got 20 new wonderful friends! It was my best week ever in Croatia!

- Sandro, 23/07/2018 06:46, Travelled Solo

Trip was well organized and met expectations. Vedran was a great tour guide that i would highly recommend. He was very knowledgeable about the locations, history and places to visit. It is not an easy job to manage expectations of multiple personalities on a cruise.

- Mark, 09/07/2018 04:08, Travelled Solo

This is without a doubt the best holiday that I have ever had! What made the 7 day Explorer cruise on Cristal from Dubrovnik to Split so special was the energetic and professional crew, food that exceeded all expectations, the beautiful boat and the Sail Croatia tour representative Vedran - Sail Croatia could not ask for a better person to represent them! I will definitely recommend Sail Croatia to all my friends and family.

- Philip, 25/06/2018 20:05, Travelled Solo

Travelling by myself I was hungry to explore, meet new people and take in the sights and history of Croatia. I selected the Explorer cruise and was lucky enough to have a great crew and host named Vedran AKA Sassy V! This cruise was the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, partying and ample opportunity to socialise or have some alone time. Highly recommend and I'd consider this cruise again in the future or seeing if Sail Med can keep up to the same standard!

- Joel, 15/05/2018 18:25, Travelled Solo

This was a Fantastic Cruise, I had a few reservations before going on the cruise due to looking at the bad reviews about the cruise after I had initially booked but was pleasantly surprised once I got on the cruise. The Cruise Director V was really good at making sure everyone was having an amazing time, the crew was very sociable and fun & all the other guests were really friendly as well (made a bunch of new friends on this trip). We were treated to 3 course lunch meals that were above and beyond and also provided with multiple excursion options, I did the Kayaking, Ziplining and wine tasting (all amazing), I did the cruise end of April beginning of May and would definitely recommend at this time since Croatia isn't that busy, the weather was sunny and at 28 degrees everyday. This was a fantastic cruise which I would recommend to friends and family, Only thing it was missing was an onboard Gelatto bar (more my personal preference than anything bad against the cruise itself).

- Jonathan, 08/05/2018 17:54, Travelled Solo

The atmosphere and vibe of the ship was great. A nice blend of activities, relaxing and partying if you chose to as well

- Cruz, 03/09/2017 17:16, Travelled Solo

If you want to see what it's like to be a millionaire for a week, then this is the holiday for you! You spend your time sailing on a luxury yacht with like minded, interesting passengers, stopping off at secluded island bays for a swim and explore various islands that range from the quaint, historical and quiet to the more lively and party type. The rooms, facilities, meals and crew were all first class and our tour coordinator, Ana was a superb host and ensured that we don't lift a finger. Thank you Ana! Definitely worth it and a must, if you love exploring, sun, sailing and fun!

- Werner, 11/08/2017 07:04, Travelled Solo

good crew,nice boat,cabins,good weather,nice islands

- thomas, 28/06/2017 17:32, Travelled Solo

There are so many positives about my trip and not a single negative. The crew were attentive, friendly and efficient. Our trip leader Roko and his offsider Petr were always around to answer any questions, offer points of interest in port and made great restaurant, bar, and tour recommendations as well as being genuinely good guys. Ante and Bruno in the bar along with Tony and Mario in the kitchen and Marina our hostess made sure we were extremely well fed and watered. (the cream of mushroom soup, and the iced coffees were my favourites) And the Aurora was always clean and in working order. The coast and islands of Croatia are some of the most beautiful and interesting places I have ever been. I definitely hope to be back some day, and will definitely look at Sail Croatia again. I can't stress enough what a wonderful week it was, and I imagine that every person who cruised the same time as I did would say the same. Thanks so much for an amazing time that I will always remember.

- Ben, 15/05/2017 14:08, Travelled Solo

This was my second cruise in 12 months, loved it so much I returned with my daughter, her husband and 2 teenage boys and a friend of ours. We all loved it! Helena our Director did a fantastic job, very knowledgeable, bright, cheery and friendly, passionate about her job! Captain Tony is a great guy (had him last year too) as were the rest of the crew except Brigette. She has no people skills at all, ask her a question and she doesn\'t know the answer she doesn\'t take ownership and follow through she gets you to find someone else to answer and her dress on the second last day was not appropriate at all. The food is still amazing, cabin sizes are great along with unnecessary islands visited. I will return!! Thank you Croatia Sails for another exceptional trip with my family, they loved every minute of it too!

- Greg, 30/09/2016 21:31, Travelled Solo

This is almost certainly the best tour I've ever done. Thanks in no small part to the crew; our rep Miranda and waiter Tomo particularly provided endless knowledge and humour on the boat. That paired with the stunning Croatian islands, amazing swim stops, and fantastic activities and bars made this a week that won't be forgotten soon.

- Justin, 22/08/2016 13:51, Travelled Solo

All the staff were excellent on the explorer cruise, split return, hosted by Miranda. Boat and facilities were top notch. I would definitely go again and recommend to anyone.
