I have done a lot of travelling. This is one of the best trips I have ever been on. The boat, staff, food and staff were excellent. The key to the trip was Ivan and Lucy as group leaders. They did an excellent job and worked together very well. It was obvious that they had spent considerable time the previous evening organizing events for the following day. They were always very upbeat and made a point of socializing with us during. Ivan was a great bike leader. He ensured our rides were as safe as possible. He was very helpful when people had trouble with their bikes. He was a good first aider when there were minor injuries (the accidents were not his fault). He organized a special trip at the request of one of our group. Lucy did a very good job with presentations during our various rides. She also ensured that everything was done safely. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with intermediate biking skills, as long as the group leaders were Ivan and Lucy.

Excellent manager Ana, cycle guide Dora and crew. They couldn't have been more helpful. Itinerary promptly and smoothly rearranged if necessary according to circumstances eg weather. Definitely recommend this trip with Sail Croatia.

A well organised week with a lovely boat and great crew. Our cabin was clean and tidy and the food was plentiful. Rides were challenging and well organised. We spent time with friends and met plenty of new ones. A great bunch of people onboard.

- Mike, 17/10/2024 07:46, Travelled in a Couple

We had a fabulous time meeting people from several countries. The Princess Diana was clean and comfortable and the guides and crew were friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming. The daily schedule allowed for cycling, exploring the towns and either relaxing or swimming. There was plenty to eat and the food was well prepared and quite good overall. We learned about Croatian history, customs and culture from our extremely knowledgeable guides who made us feel that we were welcome guests in their country. The e-bike s were good quality and easy to get used to. I would recommend this tour to anyone at a reasonable level of fitness. Some rides were strenuous, but well worth the effort. Bravo Sail Croatia, well done!!

- Laurel, 15/10/2024 19:42, Travelled in a Couple

Good itinerary Well maintained boat with good captain and crew Great bikes, rides and support crew.

- Lesley, 14/10/2024 21:29, Travelled in a Couple

Enjoyed the cycling and swimming as well as the company of the other clients. We developed a real comraderie along with our two amazing guides and crew. There was much fun and laughter despite a very professional approach by the crew. Both guides had excellent knowledge of the islands and Croatia, making for some very interesting talks and discussions. Sailing gave an interesting and varied overview of the country. Advise bringing sand shoes for stony beaches

- Maeve, 14/10/2024 19:30, Travelled in a Couple

All the people on board, especially Ivica and Anita made this trip a memorable one. There was nothing that they could not find solutions for. Ivica and Anita you are the best

- Kristján, 14/10/2024 08:19, Travelled in a Couple

Ivica and Anita are what makes Croatia great! Warm Welcomes, Safe and on schedule planning. Informed and endearing. You will enjoy the rides but we think you will love the people even more. Excellent communication throughout the trip, including when plans needed to pivot for our best enjoyment. Interested in feedback I can only imagine each year trips with them will get better and better. They are pros.

- Chris, 14/10/2024 07:49, Travelled in a Couple

From day one, it was evident that both Anita and Evica have a passion for sharing their country and its history with everyone. Their attention to safety and the well being of everyone was ever present on each bike ride. . They were so patient and kind, making sure the varying degrees of ridership were comfortable with each ride. A very detailed pre-briefing of every ride was given the day before and via WhatsApp. I highly recommend both Anita and Evica!!!

- Lesley, 14/10/2024 06:42, Travelled in a Couple

Small group, great atmosphere , very good easy to ride well balanced e bikes. Stunning scenery, just the right amount of challenge and above all 2 fantastic guides. I do not cycle but am fit and love being outside and exploring and the e bikes made it so easy . The terrain is hilly but 35 to 50k per day was no problem even for someone who never rides a bike. All the harbours we moored in on the Split to Split southern route were wonderful. So much to explore . We travelled second week October and had great weather, Sea warm enough for daily swims. Totally recommend .

- Kate, 14/10/2024 06:21, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful itinerary, staff and crew, bikes, and food. Could not have had a better time. Thanks you Sail Croatia.

- Mark, 14/10/2024 05:37, Travelled in a Couple

The whole setup was just what I hoped Accommodation was comfortable/worked well The crew could not have been more helpful Both the Team leaders were clearly very experienced. They were delightful people to deal with always a watchful eye on our safety, and being flexible and adaptable I have been very impressed with Sail Croatia and I’ll be back (Different route next time !)

- John, 11/10/2024 19:32, Travelled in a Couple

Our guides were outstanding! They made me feel safe, comfortable, and heard. All questions were answered thoughtfully, and they projected a sense of fun and adventure. This was my first “group “ travel experience and I was pleasantly surprised each day at how well Marija and Josko managed 30 diverse guests! 5 stars for sure.

- Christy, 11/10/2024 09:54, Travelled in a Couple

My first time with Sail Croatia and the experience was five star.. Our guides Mila and Marin were excellent. Marin gave clear briefings and described exactly how the rides would be and ensured the safety of all members of the group at all times. Mila showed an excellent knowledge of the areas we were visiting and gave us great information on WhatsApp about options and places to visit when we were onshore. The onboard crew were friendly and helpful, Nino and Nicoletta service at the bar and during meals was excellent, while the kitchen and sailing crew were very good and went about their business with the highest level of professionalism. Captain Marte made us feel that we were in good hands and safety, even when the weather got a bit rough. A first class expereince and fully recommended

- Henare, 08/10/2024 10:20, Travelled in a Couple

The boat was lovely (bigger than another one I went on with another company), and the crew were excellent. The guides Ivan and Lucija, made it fun and interesting, and went above and beyond to ensure we had good things to do even when we to change the itinerary due to weather. The kitchen and boat crew were also fun, professional and helpful.

- Kathryn, 08/10/2024 06:51, Travelled in a Couple

The sailing and bike riding experience onboard Aphrodite was so enjoyable. By combining exercise and rest together I felt like I had a real holiday. The boat crew were all very friendly and made my trip very pleasant. The food was tasty and presented with flair. My room was comfortable and cosy. The bike manager was professional and always provided us with terrific routes through the islands. Our Tour guide was knowledgeable and kept our interest at all times.

- Kerrie, 07/10/2024 19:54, Travelled in a Couple

As ever people make great times, Ivica and Andro were our bike leaders and did a great job. Thier organisation and communication was superb and made our cycling soooooo enjoyable. The rest of the people on the cruise, we’re such great company also. The Croatian Islands are so beautiful with amazing swimming, food and sunshine. We had great food on board as well. It was a very special and memorable holiday.

- Angela Fergusson, 07/10/2024 15:18, Travelled in a Couple

Excellent crew on the boat and very helpful and efficient representatives.

- Alan, 07/10/2024 14:29, Travelled in a Couple

The food. No need for a 3 course meal at lunchtime. How about a salad type buffet. Anyway, the quality of the food left much to be desired(too stodgy. Breakfast hot food wasn’t kept warm Cabin was good, especially the shower No swimming spots as advertised Sail Croatia staff excellent, crew not so Bicycling very good. Excellent concept

- Anonymous, 07/10/2024 08:25, Travelled in a Couple

My husband and I had a great time on the bike and sail cruise. The biking was fantastic we logged a lot of kms each day and saw a lot of countryside. The bike guides, Ivitca and Andro were the best. The meals onboard were fantastic and Andrj did an excellent job of serving and bartending. The only negative comment I have is the below deck rooms are a bit smelly and need a form of ventilation. Thanks for the great time and we will definitely recommend this trip to others.

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

This website was inaccurate.

- Marge, 05/10/2024 18:00, Travelled in a Couple

I did the Split to Dubrovnik cycle tour with Ivica and Andro as our guides aboard the Afrodita, alongside an amazing ship crew! They went above and beyond to make the experience great for everyone: from adjusting the itinerary to ensure we had the best weather possible, to increasing the length of our rides/adding bonus rides since we were a group of strong bikers, and arranging additional tours for us several of the evenings. The daily swim stops were a hit as well - perfect way to cool off after a big day of biking. It was an unforgettable week. Thanks Ivica, Andro, and the Afrodita crew for making it so special ❤️

- Kari, 03/10/2024 02:49, Travelled in a Couple

Miranda and Bartul were have great organizational skills and an enthusiastic attitude toward the clients. The staff on the ship were very attentive to us. All of the rides were well planned out.

- stephen cefalo, 01/10/2024 12:35, Travelled in a Couple

Ivica and Andro did a terrific job of organizing our trip. They made sure we got to see all the highlights despite changing weather conditions. We felt our needs were catered to the entire week. Ivica’s and Andro’s enthusiasm also motivated the group in a very positive way. My wife and I will definitely recommend this trip to our friends and family. We would also absolutely consider taking another trip with Sail Croatia.

- Michael, 01/10/2024 11:42, Travelled in a Couple

When you have great guides, a great crew, a great itinerary on a very comfortable boat with great nourishing food and sights that can only be seen by bikes ...you get a memorable experience that will last a lifetime. When you add in the new friendships forged...priceless!!! Highly recommend Sail Croatia with Miranda and Bart as guides supported by the great service provided by Nicolina and Nino.

- Phil, 30/09/2024 19:07, Travelled in a Couple

E bikes! Easy (almost too easy) beautiful routes. Great cycling guides.

- Tamara, 30/09/2024 16:12, Travelled in a Couple

The whole schedule felt very rushed. Once we reached each island we invariably had very little time to enjoy the destination of our cycle ride - which at times was quite arduous especially for those without e-bikes - before returning to the boat for lunch. The food provided was generally poor with limited fruit available at breakfast and no means of keeping the hot food hot for anyone who didn’t arrive at breakfast promptly at the start. The three course meal served at lunchtime with a hot main seemed totally inappropriate when a more relaxed cold buffet would have been preferred by most on board. Sometimes we were given no time to explore particular port as we had to cycle to the other side of the island to meet the boat in time for lunch and there were no impromptu swim stops off the boat as shown in your videos. On the whole I did really enjoy the week - the crew and guides were excellent although a little more flexibility from the captain would have been appreciated.

- Deborah, 30/09/2024 15:33, Travelled in a Couple

Dalmatia is all about boats! It is the way to see it. We did the Split to Split southern route. Add on the bike rides and you get away from the ports and see even more. Princess Diana was a comfortable boat with great staff. A special shout out to Nicolina on board. She made the onboard experience even more enjoyable. I would recommend this to everyone except maybe light sleeper. Boats can be noisy.

- Helene, 30/09/2024 13:52, Travelled in a Couple

Our guides Marin and Ilona were very knowledgeable and cared about the travelers. There concerns for our safety was apparent from day one, which was greatly appreciated. There route planning was awesome, we saw some amazing scenery. Marin and Ilona could be history majors at a university, I learned so much from them. The boat crew on Mali Ante are top notch. Mario is definitely Super Mario, always has a smile and always there for you. Ivan runs a tight ship and always makes sure the passengers needs are satisfied. Ivica, the captain was great. Always felt safe with him at the helm. Ivica, the chef always prepared the best best meals and it was obvious that he enjoyed making his guests happy.

- Rocco, 30/09/2024 13:46, Travelled in a Couple

People, weather, scenery and organisation.

- Ian, 30/09/2024 13:34, Travelled in a Couple

We loved every aspect of our Sail Croatia trip. The guides, ship captain and staff worked hard to make our trip perfect. The bike rides were well organized and wonderful. The food was delicious and the swim stops were very special. I highly recommend this trip. I would suggest trying to avoid very hot times as the biking would be difficult and the dining room would probably be very hot.

- ginny, 27/09/2024 20:29, Travelled in a Couple

Just finished a fabulous week on sail / cycle tour great fun, beautiful scenery and great company

- Bev, 27/09/2024 18:24, Travelled in a Couple

Princesa Diana is a beautiful and well-maintained boat with friendly and efficient crew and staff. The meals were very tasty and well-presented by Nino and Nicolina, who were ever so kind. Our room, with private bathroom, was clean and the bed was comfortable, though being on the main level, it tended to be noisy secondary to partying on other boats nearby. The guides, Andro and Karla, did a great job of coordinating the bike rides relative to weather issues and docking schedules. The rides were 20- 40 km with significant climbs in some cases, but the e-bikes were of high quality and made it easy. The scenery was breath-taking! We are so glad that we were able to participate in this unforgettable adventure.

- Rae, 26/09/2024 15:39, Travelled in a Couple

With only 30 guests and the planned cycling and swimming opportunities each day I felt like we go to know and enjoy the company of other guests. The staff were friendly and the breakfasts and lunches each day were delicious. The 2 guides ensured that all cyclists enjoyed their cycling time. The Split return northern route is not a trip for serious cyclists wanting to do extensive rides each day, however if you are looking for a varied holiday with cycling, swimming and seeing the sites of islands and villages in this region, I highly recommend.

- Leanne, 25/09/2024 16:30, Travelled in a Couple

The trip exceeded my expectations in some respects - we had the most wonderful crew who went out of their way to navigate around bad weather to ensure we could continue to cycle. They went beyond their call of duty. The aspects I believe could have been better in particular, is the food. The offering is tremendous in quantity but lacks sophistication and creativity. I was looking forward to having a Mediterranean experience but if fell short. Why serve mostly apples and bananas when figs and grapes were in season and readily available. The coffee machine was not working, and no cappuccinos was on offer but rather just brewed coffee. I trust that effort in this area could go a long way to improve the overall experience. All in all, it was an enjoyable trip in a wonderful country with exquisite crew members.

- Anonymous, 25/09/2024 13:02, Travelled in a Couple

This experience was by far my favorite travel experience! The Princess Diana ship was beautiful, clean, well appointed and our berth was spacious. The crew were fun, efficient and knowledgeable and the food was beyond expectations! Our tour guides were personable, informed and professional. We biked to amazing locations at a great pace for our age group.. I would recommend this and would love to do something similar again!

- Leslie, 24/09/2024 13:32, Travelled in a Couple

This trip was an excellent way to visit the Croatian Islands and get a up close view. Our ship was very comfortable and the food was good. The crew and our bike guides were wonderful. They tailored our rides for the weather. We tried to bike opposite the rain, sometimes in the morning and some in the afternoon. Our group was a mix of Canadians, British and Americans. We made so many new friends. I definitely recommend this adventure and would do it again if possible.

- Frank, 23/09/2024 20:14, Travelled in a Couple

The so called premier ship was nothing like, much smaller than expected, the cabins were small and several needed attention. However the Captain and crew were very good at their job with boat and passenger safety spot on. They were all very friendly and helpful, with the male crew having to man handle over 30 bikes on and off the boat at every port, well done them. The cycle tours were rather disappointing as there were over 30 cyclist of varying ability, the front runners would be way ahead leaving the slower ones way behind. Not enough stops to enjoy the wonderful scenery and a chance for photos, ☹️ 25.00€, in cash, per person to enter the Mljet National Park, bit steep to cycle around the lakes, no stops to enjoy! Cycle guides would stop and give a little talk about the history of which ever island we were on. The food on the boat was OK but far too much at lunch time, so lots of waste, shame. The weather was not the best but that is not a fault! ⛈️ It was an experience for sure!

- Cymraes, 22/09/2024 13:23, Travelled in a Couple

well organized

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

The entire week was so wonderful. The guides, Marin and Ilana were so enjoyable to be with. The crew of Emitza and Matte (cooks) served up more than enough delicious meals. Mario showed much care towards my health which was fragile. Ivan and his son Ioni? were friendly and served a good beer. And the captain! Emitza was wise to keep us safe during one nasty storm. It was a superb catered trip overall.

- Desiree, 21/09/2024 22:36, Travelled in a Couple

The organization of our trip was amazing. Our boat (Afridita) has a crew that knows exactly what to do and the Captain and co Captain were extremely competent. The tour guides Marya and Tonka went above and beyond what their jobs required. Truly two gems

- Bill, 21/09/2024 15:55, Travelled in a Couple

Marin and Ilona our hosts and guides. Not just bike rides but a learning experience. All of the ships crew were wonderful, friendly and helpful. Great staff makes all the difference.

- Steve SMarin, 18/09/2024 16:17, Travelled in a Couple

The small boat, wonderful cycling, great guides, delicious food, and fellow passengers were the best part of the trip.

- Anonymous, 17/09/2024 22:43, Travelled in a Couple

The organisation from the moment we booked was first class, all questions answered within 48 hrs max. Just prior to travelling you send a detailed pack of information that covered everything. On arrival at the boat again was erything was organised. Everyone was immediately welcoming. The welcome dinner broke the ice. From then on we had the the best holiday the crew were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. Marin and Ilona were very knowledgeable and entertaining. Any issues with bike etc they sorted quickly. The rides were spectacular. We were lucky to have a mix of people that allowed the group to move quite quickly. All the boat stops were gorgeous with great restaurant's. We had some weather issues but everyone on board worked hard to come up with alternatives to keep us cycling. The boat was perfect it never felt crowded, the captain did everything he could to maintain the schedule despite the weather. The two chefs work miracles excellent food every day.

- Stephen , 17/09/2024 13:03, Travelled in a Couple

The staff on Princeza Diana were all excellent ! Our cycling leaders, Josko & Anita were a perfect pair. They were excellent communicators with each days activities and were always willing and available to make dinner reservations or direct us towards attractions. We encountered some dangerous weather conditions but our captain and crew kept our safety a first priority. The food was excellent. Lunches were so large we often didn’t need much for dinner. The mixed drinks and wine on board were a little expensive. An opportunity to pre order your wine selection and spirits would be a nice feature, since you are not allowed to bring your own on board. Our room was on the bottom level. It was quite spacious with surprisingly plenty of room for storage. Our only complaint was the smell in our room. It was VERY musty. We did notify the crew that the air conditioning unit was leaking water on the floor and perhaps that’s what the musty smell was from. Other than that, AMAZING !

- Melanie, 16/09/2024 21:14, Travelled in a Couple

Our cycling guides were superb as a team. (Anita and Josko). They worked off one another like a pro team! Cycling was the highlight with well planned routes allowing for both challenging riding and views to die for! On board crew were friendly and accommodating! Food was good and plenty for the exercise we were getting! Loved the boat! Well set up for the 32 persons on board! Croatia and the islands are best kept secrets! Loved everything. Best time we have had over a week in Europe!

- Fred, 16/09/2024 20:59, Travelled in a Couple

We had such fun on the cycle cruise with Josko and Anita as our guides. They were fun, safety conscious, kind and extremely understanding and well organised and couldn't have done a better job. The boat was awesome, the food was amazing, this will be a highlight of our European holiday. We had a great group, and hope to do it all again with friends from home.

- Shelley, 16/09/2024 19:21, Travelled in a Couple

We had a wonderful 7 days sailing and cycling around the Islands of Croatia aboard the Princeza Diana. The most amazing part about the trip were our guides, Josco and Anita! They were extremely supportive, informative, encouraging, fun loving, safety conscious and they made our trip! Thank you to them.. when our itinerary was altered due to bad weather they remained positive and created alternate itineraries that were fantastic. The two crew members, Nico and Nicolina were wonderful, friendly, so hard working and helpful. The sailors were friendly and together with the captain kept us safe and we had confidence in them at all times! Our cooks... produced amazing food at every meal time and catered to the vegetarian incredibly well! The ship is beautiful but is a little tired and could do with maintenance in the cabins and bathrooms. All in all an incredible trip and I would highly recommend Sail Croatia and our guides in particular.

- Bev, 16/09/2024 16:45, Travelled in a Couple

Jay and Anita were outstanding! They took care of our needs, and had a great itinerary.

- Gerald, 16/09/2024 13:04, Travelled in a Couple

The team at sail Croatia have been amazing. The tour director Miranda couldn’t help us enough. She is sail Croatia in our eyes. The information and knowledge was exceptional. The bikes were very well maintained. The deck crew cooks and captain were diligent and very friendly. The trip planning gave us everything we wanted and more. Thank you team Columbo
