Everything just came together beautifully. Fantastic weather, a diverse interesting group of friendly really nice passengers, a warm friendly crew and fantastic host Anita. On board food was great. The timing of events, swim stops and activities each day was well, thought out and just worked. Anita did a really good job of keeping everyone updated throughout the day both personally and via a group chat including extra things to do, places to eat etc. To top it off, the boat, Salve de Mare, was fantastic, with lots of space, very clean and comfortable with everything operating as it should. Would definitely travel with Sail Croatia again!

- Brian, 22/10/2024 07:36, Travelled with Family

Swim stops were cancelled due to weather without consulting passengers. Some activities were cancelled either because of equipment malfunction. A better hostess would be good.

- Malcolm , 07/10/2024 06:54, Travelled with Family

The staff were excellent, with special mention of Klara and Branco who made the cruise extra special. Klara's knowledge of the islands and history were shared to us with passion and humor and was received extremely well by the guests. The arranging of excursions was flawless and we always knew the times and booking details well in advance. Branco made sure that we were served plenty of food on board and his bar manner was second to none. The islands themselves shared their different characters, all of which were enjoyed by all. We would definitely do this again as we thoroughly enjoyed our first ever cruise provided by Sail Croatia.

The ship (Salve di Mare) was so comfortable and very well maintained. The crew were professional, friendly and fun. The meals were exceptionally well prepared and presented. Our Sail Croatia tour representative, Vicko, was so knowledgeable and helpful. This cruise was absolutely the right choice for seeing the Dalmation coast and I highly recommend Sail Croatia!

- Kevin, 23/09/2024 21:41, Travelled with Family

Our vacation experience with Sail Croatia was excellent and memorable. Having cruised in Europe, Caribbean and Alaska on much larger ships we were looking for a new cruise experience: Sail Croatia delivered a new, higher level of cruising intimacy to us. The yacht Salle Di Mare was unique in terms that it is a mix of traditional design coupled with modern elegance. There were plenty of areas to relax and enjoy a tranquil cruise around the Croatian islands. It's a very intimate experience unlike the large cruise liners. You get to meet the crew and see them working every day. You mingle all the time with fellow passengers and make new friends. And you have this against a backdrop of picture-perfect islands, historic sites, and blue (clear) water. Plus, our cruise had 6 out of 7 days of sunshine, and on the day without sun we had indoor wine tasting :-) As an endorsement, we are already planning another Sail Croatia cruise!

- Geoff, 18/09/2024 14:27, Travelled with Family

I loved exploring the magical Croatian waters and towns with Sail Croatia. The boat was great (slept like a baby!). The food was amazing, the fellow passengers were interesting and fun, and the crew was the best. Thanks, Ivana, Josef, Sebastian, Cesar, and all, for a wonderful week!!

- Ragnar, 20/08/2024 21:08, Travelled with Family

It was such an unbelievable experience, One our family will never forget. Croatia's unmatched beauty and history, paired with an excellent crew, delicious food, and new adventures each day, truly set this apart. It is hard to describe just how much we loved this trip.

- Micah, 15/08/2024 14:10, Travelled with Family

Sebastian was a very great guy

- Jack, 13/08/2024 14:20, Travelled with Family

The crew made everything so much fun.

- Eric, 11/07/2024 17:01, Travelled with Family

A ‘stand out’ holiday for my wife and I. We loved the boat, the crew and the friend we made on board. We travelled to the most beautiful island harbours and sailed on the clearest sea. We would recommend this holiday to anybody.

- Bruce, 03/07/2024 18:58, Travelled with Family

Absolutely loved our Sail Croatia trip from Dubrovnik to Spilt! Great food, great people with an awesome crew led by Nikos! Would definitely recommend!

- Nicholas , 01/07/2024 19:58, Travelled with Family

It never is one thing that makes a trip wonderful. The itinerary was fun and event filled. Lots of things to see and do or just do what you want, Beautiful boat. Lovely appointments, Enough space to be able to find a spot to enjoy some solitude but small enough to be friendly. We were blessed with beautiful weather and lovely secluded swim spots, You don't know what personalities you'll get with 30 guests but, again, this cruise was blessed with very friendly and fun folks. It was amazing how well we all got along and were appreciative of the crew. Speaking of the crew, they were spectacular!! Very friendly, accommodating and engaging folks. Always ready to lend a hand or ear and available at the drop of a hat. They were truly interested in how your day was going and that your needs were met. Our fantastic Sail Croatia rep, Vicko, was always on top of our itinerary, made sure we were aware of the days activities, upcoming adventures. Too much delicious food. I highly recommend it. Go!

- Stephen, 27/05/2024 17:45, Travelled with Family

We had a fantastic crew which made our trip so great.

My son and I had an amazing trip with Sail Croatia. The country was beautiful. But what made the trip were the people on board and the incredible crew. Everything was relaxed, easy, and so fun. I would and am highly recommending this trip to everyone.

- Neil, 21/05/2024 12:41, Travelled with Family

The combination of friendly staff, wonderful sites, and nice boat made it wonderful.

Friendly crew, excellent food, fun activities.

- Steve, 16/10/2023 13:52, Travelled with Family

Vicko was the ultimate guide - friendly, knowledgeable and he made sure he interacted with all the different passengers. The crew were all amazing, especially as the captain was a bit sick for a few days but you wouldn’t have noticed as everyone was so professional. Of course the real star is beautiful Croatia itself, but the tour was everything we hoped for and more. I can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience and would love to do it again one day.

- Marcus, 25/08/2023 06:23, Travelled with Family

Had the best week on sail!!! Everything from the crew to the delicious food was on point! Our tour manager Boris was helpful in every way possible! Pointing us in the right direction for restaurants, bars or beaches in which we could just chill out. His daily speeches about each island / port were very informative and he always had the whole boat laughing with his presentation and sense of humour! 10/10 for Boris!

- Craig, 21/08/2023 16:09, Travelled with Family

This was our first time on a small boat cruise and it was amazing! We were a group of 6 within an overall group of 32 and we really got to know the rest of the sailers. That’s not possible on the large cruise ships. The crew and our tour rep were amazing too and we saw them working up close every day which again was very different. However, the star of the holiday was Croatia as it’s now our favourite destination in Europe and we’ve been everywhere in Europe! The scenery and the locations were incredible! We would now holiday in certain locations just based on spending one afternoon/ evening there e.g. Makarska, Korcula and Hvar and also Brac which we spent 2 days on prior to the cruise. The zip line excursion in Cetina was my personal highlight as that was a first for me and was amazing! The Game of Thrones tour in Dubrovnik runs that a close second as the guide (also called Ivana!) was really knowledgeable and it was a stunning location. I’d recommend this cruise to everyone !

- Danny , 21/08/2023 05:12, Travelled with Family

Great ship, fantastic crew, incredible island stops, excellent range of activities, superb shipmates and to top it off we had the best of the best.....Ivana!

- Phillip, 14/08/2023 19:48, Travelled with Family

Combination of a number of things - a very nice boat (Salve di Mare), good food, a fantastic guide (Ioana), excellent bar staff (Ivan in particular was brilliant), great choice of stops and swim stops and a nice group dynamic.

- Tom, 07/08/2023 09:59, Travelled with Family

The ship is beautiful, the destinations are fantastic and diverse, and our guide (Ioana) did a phenomenal job. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and fun to be around the entire time. She went out of her way constantly to ensure that everyone was happy and having a good time -- give this gal a raise!!

- Austin, 13/07/2023 13:56, Travelled with Family

The staff and everything on the boat was top quality. Fully enjoyed my stay on the Salve di Mare, and this is the only way I plan to visit Europe! I highly recement .

We absolutely loved the Sail Croatia Split-to-Split trip on the Princess Diana. The ship was larger and nicer than we expected and very well maintained. The captain and crew were top notch. We especially enjoyed Boris and Erol who were the waiters, they always provided great service with a smile. The food was also really good. The mix of relaxing time, swim stops and activities was really good too. And a huge shout out to Ivana, our onboard tour director, she was always working so hard to make a smooth and enjoyable trip for everyone on board. She really went over and above and made the trip run really smoothly. She provided a lot of valuable information and did a really great job all week. It was also nice having the other guests onboard and we enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know them. Overall, a really great way to visit multiple port cities in Croatia and we'd highly recommend Sail Croatia!

- Thomas, 03/07/2023 17:49, Travelled with Family

We had the most fantastic week (24th June 2023) with Sail Croatia on the Princeza Diana. We were so fortunate to have a fantastic group of fellow travellers on our boat, within hours we were terrific friends and by the end of the week, we were so sad to be leaving one another. The Sail Croatia team, in particular, our hostess Ivanna really bought the group together and made the trip such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They were so organised, so helpful and so friendly and we couldn't recommend them more highly. We are an Australian family of 4, husband and wife, with 2 daughters 21 and 19. We spent a lot of time researching the best boat for our various age groups and we really nailed it with the Sail Croatia Explorer cruises. If you are looking for the best way to visit Croatia and see the beautiful islands of the Adriatic then don't hesitate to book with Sail Croatia, you won't regret it.

- Andrew, 03/07/2023 13:51, Travelled with Family

Relaxed and well organised cruise especially by Vicko’s history knowledge and the staffs service

- Roland , 28/06/2023 11:28, Travelled with Family

all the people were really great. Including staff. I found that I developed relationships with a few of the staff members on board which made the trip even better. Destinations beautiful and vjeko ensured everyone got the most out of every island.

- Anonymous, 27/06/2023 00:31, Travelled with Family

A great bunch of people to travel with A great tour guide (Mila) was exceptional The crew were good especially Maryan Good food thanks to the chef One complaint is the fact that there was a spare room and a very shy young lady asked if she could have her own room instead of boarding with a complete stranger. I was discussed to hear that your company charged her an extra $600 euro in cash on top of what she had already paid that was cruel Steve Whitmore

- Stephen , 14/06/2023 11:41, Travelled with Family

This trip was amazing....a little relaxing, exploring, adventures, meeting new friends and it was all planned out for you! Our host, Vicko was incredible too! What could be better than to sit back relax and enjoy! Thank you Sail Croatia! We want to go on some of your other trips!

- Jordan, 13/06/2023 20:29, Travelled with Family

Fantastic cruise with great people who made the experience even better. Dino worked hard to make sure the cruise itinerary was best for the weather which ensured we had the best opportunities to see and do as much as possible.

- Grant, 07/05/2023 21:25, Travelled with Family

I can't Say enough about my cruise, I did it with my Sister and the Crew was amazing, Steve, our cruise director was informative and a pleasure to be around, The food was great, The boat was very clean, the stops were great, I have been telling all my friends about it, As I have been to 58 countries, many multiple times, People listen to what I say.. Only thing that could have made it better is Stand up Paddle boards & Kayaks Regards, Myles McGinn

- Myles, 01/11/2022 20:04, Travelled with Family

Great cruise, fantastic host in Stjepan, a bit disappointed that we had to spend 2 days in Dubrovnik. A little irritated that you would not accept Credit cards on board. In Croatia ALL ATMs are a rip off and as you accpet payment for the cruise on a credit card, why not onboard? No doubt you dont want the charges to your account but the inconvenience and extra cost we had to bear spoiled a little what was otherwise a great trip

- DAVID, 03/10/2022 08:08, Travelled with Family

The staff were wonderful and Stephanie took great care of keeping us informed and organized for port calls. The food was great with the minor exception of too much olive oil use for me on some dishes. The tuna steak was perfect! I would suggest shorter swim times to allow earlier port stops. Some excursions were not enough time to do them well. Some activities for poor weather days would be nice also.

- Dean, 19/09/2022 10:41, Travelled with Family

1. Wonderful yacht team and cruise director Carmia. Everybody was professional, friendly, attentive, pleasure to talk to. Carmia provided clear and useful information on cruise logistics and destinations - restaurants, places to visit, etc.,, and led the group to starting points of excursions. 2. Great mix of people on board. 3. A comfortable clean cabin with enough space for storage and nice wooden furnishings. 4. Adequate spaces for various activities: socializing, sunbathing, viewing incredible islands and the sea while sailing. 5. Good breakfasts and great lunch meals. 6. Variety and beauty of places visited, with the schedule allowing enough time to explore destinations. 7.. Overall, a feeling of sailing on a semi-private yacht with a great companions and crew.

- Shane, 31/08/2022 13:36, Travelled with Family

We choose that cruise with my daughter 16 years old. Everything was perfect, very nice boat Almissa, very confortable cabin. Cruise team was very attentive and nice, they made the cruise so great ! And finally our rep Ioana was the best we could imagine. She was scheduling everything perfectly, always available for explanation, advice and so on. We made a lot of activities, which were very great, like Buggies, Canyoning, etc... Ioana also scheduled for us dinner in town, barbecue on the boat, and this was just very nice. I really recommend this Cruise, Croatia is so wonderful and Sail Croatia makes it really perfect to visit. Little advice for travelers, take one more day in Dubrovnik before Cruise to visit this amazing beautiful City. I understand now why they choose it for Port Real in Games of Thrones. Thank you to all Sail Croatia team and especially our rep ioana for this very nice cruise we'll keep in memory for life !

- Nicoas, 15/08/2022 11:35, Travelled with Family

This has been one of my favourite holidays. It was made even more amazing because of the crew and the Sail Croatia guide, Iona, who was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely recommend a Sail Croatia holiday to friends. We would also consider another holiday like this but cannot imagine a better guide or crew than we had this time.

- Eamonn , 10/08/2022 09:46, Travelled with Family

We sailed on the Princeza Diana, a beautiful boat with a lovely crew. Food was excellent. The group of guests was international, with the biggest contingent being from Australia. There were families, couples, a small group travelling together and one solo traveller. We all mixed and really enjoyed each other's company.

- Graeme, 25/07/2022 13:28, Travelled with Family

We sailed the Explorer Cruise Split-to-Dubrovnik in early July. The check-in process was easy and friendly. Our kids slept in rooms below deck, which were spacious, quiet and comfortable. They enjoyed these rooms! We were in a regular level cabin at the front of the ship which was very enjoyable. When we were cruising it was nice to pin the door open and watch the scenery go by. Our Cruise Tour director Ivana was fantastic. Always going above and beyond to inform us and give us insight into her beautiful country and its history, modern and ancient. She is a real asset to Sail Croatia! The food was terrific! Thank you Chef Daniel and sous-chef Mirela! The deckhands always had the ship looking tip top, thank you Ivan and Ante! The food service and bar was performed admirably by Mario, who always took care of us with a smile. Captain Davor docked the ship with ease, and anchored us in some amazing swim spots. Thank you to the entire crew for such a pleasant experience!

- Stewart, 11/07/2022 13:10, Travelled with Family

Ship and rooms should be more in working order . Items shouldn’t be broken or makeshift . Had to ask for new towels after being told they would be changed. Our bedsheets weren’t even changed out. Never bothered to follow up after having to request. Some of the crew’s excellent service made up for others sub par performance . As a parent, Incident on ship was alarming and could’ve ruined the cruise, had to try hard to trust things would be alright . Swimming spots was occasionally sub par. Consistency in swim locations would have made things excellent.

- Rey, 05/07/2022 10:42, Travelled with Family

Fabulous holiday to relax and unwind on! The crew were extremely friendly and the food was great! I would highly recommend for your next summer holiday!!

The crew, our guide, and the destination was all beautiful and memorable

Salve de Mare is a beautiful modern ship with every comfort you can imagine. The crew strives to make sure every need is met, from sunup to sundown. We called Pavle our “Michelin” chef with delicious meals every day. Ivan, rep from Sail Croatia, gave a briefing everyday with history and excursions of each island. Sailors Frane, Antonio and Ivan as well as captain Tomisalv kept us in calm waters and found the most beautiful swim spots! And of course, Ivana and Daniel were hostess and bartender - always at our service and always with a smile. Exceptional!!

- Jane, 06/06/2022 08:33, Travelled with Family

Aside from Croatia being one of the most beautiful, unspoilt countries I’ve visited, everything about the experience was superb! From our Sail Croatia rep Ivan to our Bartender Daniel, everything on the Salve Di Mare was excellent. I would recommend Sail Croatia to anyone looking for a completely different kind of holiday.

- Oliver, 30/05/2022 13:42, Travelled with Family

We have just returned from a week's Explorer cruise on the Salve de Mare, Split to Dubrovnik and wanted to let you know what an amazing experience it was. Ivan our guide was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The whole crew were amazing. Daniel the steward is an absolute asset to your team; hard working, smart, kind and attentive. Chefs food was lovely, the cabins were always kept clean and the Captain with the deck crew kept us safe in rough seas and took us to beautiful swim stops. It was our first holiday both on a ship and to Croatia and neither was a disappointment. A beautiful country, with stunning coastline, picture perfect stops, delicious food and gorgeous wine. We had one heck of a great time. Andrew, Dawn, Oliver and Amelia

- Andrew, 30/05/2022 13:41, Travelled with Family

My vacation on the Almissa was simply amazing! If I had been asked to describe expectations prior to sailing from Dubrovnik, island hopping to Split-well all I can say is the experience proved to be nothing I could have described-it was just unimaginable & super fun! Each island stop had both rich history & unique friendly/romantic feel to it. The swim stops were great to relax before & after meals, prior to docking. The crew of the Almissa were super friendly. Chef IDA was over the top on each & every meal & could easily compete in any Michelin 3-Star restaurant. Hostess ANA, was terrific, always at the ready to provide assistance. Sail Croatia Tour Director, Andrija, proved extremely knowledgeable of the historical significance & best places to tour/eat. The intimacy you develop with the crew, Captain NIKOLA, skillfully piloting & navigating the Adriatic, with his Sailors (IGOR, ANTE’, and PAVE’). We definitely hope to return this year! Fair Winds! R/Patrick & Jean (Washington DC).

- Peter, 22/06/2021 05:02, Travelled with Family

Wow! What are great trip. The overall concept of a smaller ship visiting many scenic locations throughout the inner islands if Croatia is hard to beat. Even though it was towards the end of the season the crowds were much lower and the weather was still fantastic. I could have not asked for anything more from the boat and crew and our cruise director Lara was amazing and really brought our group together and offered excursions that really rounded our our experience. Plus, the best part of the trip was the others on the boat. My family left with 30+ more friends from all around the world. I will certainly look to do another cruise with Sail Croatia. Thank you!!!

The crew on the Almissa were outstanding!!

- Murray Carter, 23/09/2019 02:55, Travelled with Family

We were looking for a holiday that would suit my husband and I, and also our 19 year old son. The Explorer cruise made sure that we were all catered for with a range of activities that suited everyone and cruising with a group of like minded people - we didn't feel too old, nor too young. Our guided, Mateo, was fantastic and the crew went out of their way to make sure our trip was enjoyable. However the true attraction was the Croatian coast and all it has to offer - from the small sleepy villages, majestic swimming spots and the bustling historic cities - this is truly a magic place to visit. Thank you Sail Croatia for a memorable holiday.
