Excellent Ship with wonderful crew. Chef prepared meals were great. Our tour manager Ioana was fantastic. Destinations were wonderful made even more memorable by the other passenger where everyone got along famously.

Great ship, great guide, great crew, great experiences, and great companions, made for a remarkable journey and wonderful vacation.

- Philip, 22/10/2024 01:16, Travelled in a Couple

We had a wonderful time on our Elegance Cruise. We've only been on one cruise before and that was a huge ship; it was so impersonal. With Sail Croatia, there were just 18 cabins, it was so much more intimate and we made new friends from around the world. The captain, crew and our cruise director Ioana couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The Croatian coastline and islands are spectacular; we saw architecture and history we never knew existed; and the people were a joy. We highly recommend you do the same if you get the chance.

My first experience on a yacht/small cruise ship. All of the crew aboard the Olimp were fabulous in their efforts to make our cruise enjoyable. It was obvious that all of the crew take pride in their work and they were all excellent in executing their duties. Our Sail Croatia host, Ioanna, was also fabulous. She kept us informed and fostered camaraderie amongst all of the guests. She was exceptional at that! Ioanna also planned some excellent walking tours of Croatia which included visits to historic sites, national parks, family farms, beaches, jeep tours and restaurants. The food on the yacht was great! Great chef! Great Captain! Thank you for the several swim stops at beautiful, remote locations. That was something that one rarely gets to do. All in all, a great vacation and I highly recommend a cruise on the Olimp!

i certainly would recommend sail Croatia , we sailed on the Olimp the staff and tour guide were great, nothing was problem

- jamie, 16/10/2024 22:51, Travelled in a Couple

Location, location, location...Croatia is absolutely beautiful! The boat and the crew was fantastic as well. The passengers (36 of us) got along extremely well and we made some amazing friends. I would highly recommend this location, company, boat, and crew.

- Michael, 15/10/2024 11:06, Travelled in a Couple

I am totally impressed with Sail Croatia's attention to detail in all aspects of our adventure. All staff members respond quickly and are always there to help. On the boat, our guide, Karolina, was knowledgeable and very personable. All the crew was pleasant and enjoyable. The ports were great and gave us a sense of Croatia's past history. This is such a great company we brought along another couple as this was our second sailing with Sail Croatia. Kudos!

- Dennis , 09/10/2024 20:31, Travelled in a Couple

Great crew all round. Extremely professional and courteous. Very high standards of comfort and cleanliness. Very professional Tour guide , perfect touch and interaction with all passengers. Only complaint is breakfast is too early to close at 9.00am, also it was a direct shut down at that time. Even at 9.o5 am the coffee and tea was closed, leaving the only option was to purchase. Tea and coffee. That station should be available all day subject to cruising condition.

- Graham, 08/10/2024 09:07, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing tour of different Croatian towns/cities, daily swims, smaller cruise ship that allows getting to know your cruise partners. Klara is terrific as our tour guide. Great leadership and communication skills. Would highly recommend it. Definitely more intimate and exciting than the larger cruise ships.

- Patrick, 08/10/2024 00:36, Travelled in a Couple

Firstly I was nervous being on a small cruise (36 pax) as I have had bad experiences with cruises before. But the vibe on the boat when we arrived welcomed and exhilarated us with the extremely high standards and quality of the Olimp and it's fine crew. The captain (Yure) was every friendly, inviting and pleasant to spend time with. The rest of the crew were similar. Vedran was very pleasurable to listen to, knowledgeable about the places we visited and funny in his deliveries of daily instructions and when also answering any of a miriad of questions thrown his way. We met as strangers but after 8 days of fine cruising, dining and activities we all left as good friends! I cannot recommend this trip highly enough and will look forward to my next trip on the Olimp.

- Christopher, 07/10/2024 08:39, Travelled in a Couple

From the first moment stepping on board the holiday engendered a sense of anticipation and excitement. A delightful boat welcoming crew and guide what more could be wanted. The following days fulfilled all the initial promise. Excellent accommodation, superb food along with crew and staff who worked hard to provide the perfect holiday. Every day provided new experiences from swimming off the boat to the rich tapestry of each island visited. Croatia is a beautiful country with a long history and a very friendly welcoming people. The colour of the sea has to be seen to be believed. A holiday to remember.

- Peter, 04/10/2024 19:21, Travelled in a Couple

Our cruise was made fantastic by the amazing staff on the boat. They made sure everything was 1st class and made us feel happy. Boris and Stella were amazing and friendly towards us. The Chef and his staff did a fantastic job and every meal was presented 5star and tasted delicious. The sailors were friendly and always up for a chat and would help/do anything for us. Our room was kept clean daily by the maid she was lovely. The captain was fantastic and made sure we were always safe, very professional and great experienced operator for a young man, the captains dinner was a fun night. Last of all the magnificent cruise director Ioana (Jo) she was brilliant, entertaining and funny. We meet some very nice people from all over the globe, I highly recommend this to anyone

- Shane, 02/10/2024 07:40, Travelled in a Couple

Beautiful boat, charming crew, delicious food, great host and fun passengers. Good excursions too. Crew and guide really tried to make the trip as good as possible given the sailing conditions. Really enjoyed it. Thank you! Some ideas: Be nice to have had breakfast outside on the boat deck Would rather have paid the bar bill on a card than in cash Tables of 8 or 10 better than 9 one couple had to split up Excursions accompanied by detailed printed material.

- Hector, 01/10/2024 08:40, Travelled in a Couple

The Olimp crew was fantastic and the sail exceeded Our expectations. Having only 35 guests allowed us to meet and engage with everyone. All of the guests were super friendly, fun and interesting. Loved every minute of the cruise.

- Peter, 27/09/2024 00:41, Travelled in a Couple

A wonderful trip with fantastic crew, everything and more than we had hoped for. Great walks and excursions with information that helped us try and get our heads around the history and country. Thanks to Vedran whose daily talks were awaited with great anticipation - "you read us like an open book". Thanks Cruise Croatia for putting together such an enjoyable itinerary, with wonderful crew.

- Kevin , 25/09/2024 08:17, Travelled in a Couple

The professional and casual pace that that it travels at. We met great people, made new friends and had a fantastic time The ship, OLIMP was immaculately kept and the cabins very comfortable. Everything worked well.

- Griffith , 24/09/2024 14:37, Travelled in a Couple

We reserved a few years ago but then the COVID Pandemic landed. We had to cancel and Sail Croatia were so great to deal with. A full refund no hassle. We rebooked six months ago and just returned home. We were on the ESperanza Dubrovnik return. Boarding was easy. We met with Mia the cruise director. Such a lovely warm kind person. She was so organised . We got great information and recommendations where to go when ashore. The food was very good . Anna and Antonio were our servers and bar tenders. Nothing was too much trouble to them. The weather was not the best but the captain and the sailors had to rearrange the itinerary to avoid the rough seas at times. We felt safe at all times and managed swim stops in secluded bays every day. Overall we loved it. We made new friends who we will keep in contact with. Two small areas that could improve. The hairdryer in the room wasn't great so I'm told. Also the ladders for getting back onboard after swimming need to be longer. Excellent.

- John Philip Collins , 19/09/2024 18:40, Travelled in a Couple

We had a fabulous time on the Esperanza. The boat is very spacious (the rooms are bigger than those mega cruise ships). The facilities in the room are clean and the water pressure surprisingly strong. All the included food was varied and very tasty and we loved the organzied outcomings such as the Stari Grad Village dinner which was incredible. The onboard staff was fantastic and special Kudo's to Mia the tour organizer and Antonio in the restaurant/bar. The whole tour is a great way to see Croatia.

- Evan Ferguson, 19/09/2024 16:26, Travelled in a Couple

Another wonderful cruise on the Queen Jelena. The boat was as beautiful as last time, as were the crew, the food and the Croatian Islands. Organisation was impeccable, and our host, Vedran, was attentive, knowledgeable and very good company.

- Chris, 19/09/2024 09:27, Travelled in a Couple

Captain very good at choosing swim locations and avoiding some inclement weather. Food/drinks/service & guides all good and great choice of ports of call. Engines noisy with downstairs cabins at back of boat.

- Anonymous, 17/09/2024 07:55, Travelled in a Couple

The boat, the crew, the places we visited were all outstanding. Not to mention the excellent mix of our fellow cruisers. Now even less likely to go on a big cruise!

- Grahame, 12/09/2024 11:22, Travelled in a Couple

Yacht a great way to have fun in the sun sailing around the islands. The Olimp crew and the Sail Croatia rep were fantastic. Buoy we had the best time ever 😎

- Dale, 12/09/2024 10:14, Travelled in a Couple

Well organised and very professional

- Alan, 10/09/2024 20:52, Travelled in a Couple

Ioana was amazing, friendly and caring. She was on top of everything to the last minute details. She was so great setting up my massage as well. Ive never experienced such a wonder vacation! Everyone of the staff were outstanding! I will definately recommend the Olimp to my friends! Sincerely Monica Ponce

- Monica Ponce, 10/09/2024 19:56, Travelled in a Couple

We visited some great islands all of which had a different experience and activity to participate in if we wanted to . The Captain , crew and our host were amazing and nothing was too much trouble . The facilities on the boat were great with more than enough space for people to relax . This was our first ever cruise and I believe we have started with the best as I don’t believe any other would come close . I must also say the other guests from all different walks of life and country’s also plaid a big part in making an unforgettable week . Highlight of the week for us was the Captains dinner with live musicians encouraging all of us to join in with songs that we all knew !

- David, 10/09/2024 15:29, Travelled in a Couple

We had a memorable time on this Elegance cruise. with Sail Croatia. The fellow passengers, the crew and our guide, Carolina all added to our very enjoyable experience.. Esperanza is well equipped, clean and comfortable with excellent food. The places we visited and the swim stops were all brilliant. Would certainly do it again.

- John, 10/09/2024 10:51, Travelled in a Couple

It was a very relaxing holiday with a great group of people. Carolina was superb, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The daily swim stops were perfect and we all had plenty of time to get to know each other. The organised events and guided tours were excellent. Altogether a great holiday.

- Anonymous, 10/09/2024 10:22, Travelled in a Couple

Crew and staff did everything to provide a great time. The boat was spotlessy clean and the food was excellent. The ports of crew were beautiful especially in the evenings.

- Martin, 10/09/2024 06:54, Travelled in a Couple

Well it wasn’t Great, the crew were bored

- Brian, 03/09/2024 06:56, Travelled in a Couple

- Walt, 03/09/2024 05:48, Travelled in a Couple

The food and service were excellent, the cabins were sleek, modern and clean, and the itinerary was perfect.

- Matthew, 03/09/2024 05:41, Travelled in a Couple

Right level of comfort, low pressure itinerary, lots of freedom on the islands., great ship and good crew. There is always room for improvement but it does not overshadow the quality experience:-)

- Serge, 20/08/2024 13:26, Travelled in a Couple

The crew of the Esperenza were magnificent and they took us to some beautiful islands. Out tour guide Iaona was absolutely fabulous, she had the perfect personality and was very professional offering a variety of onshore activities. Water stops were so relaxing. Would do it again.

- Kevin, 20/08/2024 09:18, Travelled in a Couple

The boat has everything from under 18 to 65 year Olds plus. Given we spend most of the time on the boat it's frustrating that you put people who have limited interest groups or different stages of life. We were told this was suited to 30 to 40 year Olds. The experiences and tours were all for old people and the boat has very limited toys or experiences so all you can do is eat bad food, sunbake and drink to put up with the small talk - give more information to people prior to joining as Croatia is lovely but this isn't a great way to do it

- Jeremy , 13/08/2024 02:58, Travelled in a Couple

Our tour/customer representative, Barbra, was great. The islands were good with a couple of things. We didn't get to explore Vis much since we stayed korcula.. Korcula was great. We stayed in Mijet which was not worth the stop. As for the food. Breakfast was good but could have had more options instead of eggs. Lunch was over the top each day. The food was good. The night before and the day of decorating, we felt rushed off the boat. We had to be off by 9am. Jacuzzi was emptied the night before and could not be used. Did not understand why decorating time could not have been around 11.. The staff was great and the swim stops we a pleasure.

- Steve, 06/08/2024 15:56, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia is excellent from the moment we boarded the ship and met V the cruise manager we knew this was going to be good. The ship was outstanding, a really nice atmosphere, excellent cabin. Definitely book a lower deck as cabin as is much larger has a nice bathroom and is much quieter. There is a super dinning room and lots of outdoor space, love the swimming platform at the back of the boat. Food and drinks on board ard excellent also and drink prices are definitely compared with prices on shore. Also well worth taking up optional excursions to really make your cruise worth while. The crew definitely make this cruise and we loved the daily speeches from V everyday about what would happen during the day and what the next day would also look like. Highly recommend Sail Croatia for anyone looking for a small ship adventure.

- Terry, 28/07/2024 22:23, Travelled in a Couple

Wowwweee What a week sailing the Adriatic in the Super-yacht Olimp. Great crew. Great service . Super swim spots. Cabins were great. Spacious and comfortable with great aircon. Cruise / Touring director Ioana, was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Could have stayed on for the return trip back to Split. Graeme T

- graeme, 26/07/2024 13:55, Travelled in a Couple

The highlight of our days on the Olimp was the daily swim stop. The crew always found the most delightful spot for us to swim and socialise whilst doing so. Ioana was a wonderful host managing to get us all involved in activities and working seamlessly with the great crew to maximise our enjoyment. Thank you!

- Chris, 24/07/2024 07:24, Travelled in a Couple

Beautiful well maintained boat Great crew and guide Fantastic food Every port was interesting The other passengers were easy to get on with and great company. A great relaxing fun holiday

- Malcolm, 23/07/2024 11:45, Travelled in a Couple

On arrival we were greeted by Ioana who welcomed us in a very professional and courteous manner. The ship Olimp was amazing. Very modern and clean. The crew were equally professional and a special mention must go to our housekeeper. She was the BEST. Our cabin was always cleaned with fresh towels which made our experience even more enjoyable knowing that everything was clean. Ioana who was in charge of cruise went over and above to ensure everything was perfect for all the guests on board. She was a true professional and I cannot thank her enough for making our cruise so very special and memorable. Thank you!

- Nigel Fawkes , 23/07/2024 11:01, Travelled in a Couple

Relaxing, good food, good accommodations, no pressure, beautiful places to visit, nice swim stops and really nice passengers. Everything went smoothly.

- Ed, 23/07/2024 08:13, Travelled in a Couple

From the start ,the sales team of Sail Croatia were on top of any enquiries and very efficient. Our Sail Croatia representative, Karolina was so helpful and went out of her way to point out what , where and how to see the best of each of our destinations. The Olimp must be the best boat in Croatia. Captain Jure and his team met every expectation and more . Stipe the chef spoilt us with the best food. The service from all the crew were excellent. Beautiful swim stops were enjoyed by all aboard. Great new friends from all over the world were made . Best holiday ever. Will definitely be back.

- Douw, 19/07/2024 08:51, Travelled in a Couple

Super friendly crew who catered to all our needs. Well informed tour leader who provided us with relevant information right through the trip. Well equipped boat with wonderful cabins and food that exceeded my expectations. Will recommend this company and crew without reservation to anyone and hope it wasn’t my last cruise with them

- Jacobus , 17/07/2024 13:00, Travelled in a Couple

Staff, ship presentation, scenery and other passengers. Ship was immaculate and extremely comfortable.

- Colin, 16/07/2024 05:52, Travelled in a Couple

Myself and my wife sailed on the Esperanza on the Dubrovnik Return. We had a fantastic trip and we will be returning to further explore the beautiful Croatian coastline. The boat we sailed on was perfect. The chefs were fantastic, Ivana and duska and they would even make separate meals for some of the fussy eaters, every single meal was first class. The bar was also situated in the dining room. Upper deck was the hot tub and sun beds and was a lovely space to relax. What really made this trip so special and memorable however was the staff. Our tour guide Vedran was so much fun and so knowledgeable, giving us information before we reached each destination. Always there to ask questions and give advice. Barman and waiter Tomo was such a nice guy and worked so hard. Other staff to mention were two Annas, bar staff, Anna the maid, sailors zoran and marin and not forgetting Captain Vladimir. The Islands and mainland we visited were all so beautiful and the trips perfectly organised.

- Andrew, 15/07/2024 19:20, Travelled in a Couple

My wife and I had a wonderful experience sailing on Olimp. Beautiful vessel with everything being first class. Couple of minor things they could improve the experience with but overall wonderful. Excellent food, beautiful clean cabins, excellent staff/crew and stopped in fantastic swimming locations.

- Geoff, 09/07/2024 05:03, Travelled in a Couple

The crew, the food, the ship, and the other passengers. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Mia was great

- Bob, 28/06/2024 18:23, Travelled in a Couple

Split, Dubrovnik and the islands in between are gorgeous. The food on board was delicious and plentiful, sometimes so plentiful that we only had a salad or ice cream for dinner. The cabins were a decent size and the entire ship was clean and well-cared for. Mia, the tour director, was informed, helpful, friendly, and well organized. She helped create a very positive atmosphere on board. Last, but certainly not least, the passengers who selected this ship were friendly, fascinating, well-traveled, and the kind of people one would like to maintain an ongoing friendship with.

- bob, 27/06/2024 15:32, Travelled in a Couple

Everybody from our Guide Mia to the bartenders, maid, sailors and Captain we great. The Queen Jelena was a perfect ship. The fact the we were able to eat most dinners in small towns was a huge selling point to us as well as for our ship mates. Also great were the near daily swims from the back of the boat. Well worth the money.

- Charles, 26/06/2024 20:23, Travelled in a Couple

The number of passengers was just right 34. The make up of the passengers made for an interesting week, friendships were made and may be long lasting, and a week that was thoroughly enjoyable. Mia from Sail Croatia was terrific nothing was too much trouble. The crew, the food and the boat were all great, and we can think of nothing that we can criticise.
