Perfect autumn break

The trip was great for my restricted mobility. The railings on all walkways and stairwells made walking around the ship possible. The crew were always available to offer a helping hand or arm. One of the sailors - Mario - was exceptionally thoughtful. He carried my mobility scooter on and off the boat, storing and charging it overnight. He was sensitive to my fears, crossing from boat to boat, offering encouragement and praise, as well as physical help. Wonderful intuitive personal skills!

Well worth it

Loved the week on the ship. Met some great people. Mostly from Australia, UK and USA. Particularly enjoyed the swim stops. Great food too. Be aware though that the ship docks late afternoon in each location so some of the advertised shore excursions will not happen. We found this disappointing and would recommend Sail Croatia only promote those excursions that have a realistic chance of going ahead.

Charged Up⚡️

This was a spectacular sailing experience. Our captain sailed the boat to wonderful swim spots and our cruise director Klara was charming, fun, and very energetic with interesting information of each Croatian Island we visited. The bar and food servers did a prompt, friendly, and outstanding job! And the cooks(Chefs)presented beautiful and delicious dishes! This experience was amazing. The only thing I would recommend is that we get an earlier email on what to bring and that it was a CASH only for your drinks and tips at the end of trip. A lot of people travel ahead of the sailing trip and don’t check on their emails. That info would have been better to know if it had been received at least 4 weeks before actual cruise date.

Salve di Mare

What a beautiful country to explore. The boat and the crew was excellent. Massive thank you to our wonderful tour guide Klara, her knowledge and laughter all week was amazing…..she needs a pay raise 😂👍.

People Make the Difference

The mix of people (staff and passengers) was great.

Great Value - Don’t compare to major cruise lines

Cheap! Great value and really like close to shore docking. Excellent staff, very friendly, helpful with suggestions, and knowledgeable. Rough edges: Broken stuff, no food choice at lunch.

Great experience

Though awesome, a few notes…. -the ac in our room never cooled properly -noting or discussing that though breakfast & lunch are included it’s not forced to participate when we had docked at port early. we loved the lunches, but felt like if we didn’t attend, we would miss out on information -the crew and ivanna were very kind hosts

Fun

Cabin larger than I expected. Food better than I expected. Really outstanding Staff were always friendly and helpful. Branko the barman is an asset to your company. I would secure him on a contract if I was you.

Delightful Cruising & Tour Manager

We loved cruising the islands. Met all expectations. Each one with it's own uniqueness. However the highlight for us was the tour manager Marija. So organised, available, informative and went above and beyond to provide for any request. Thank you Marija, you are an asset to Sail Croatia.

Beautiful Cruise

We had a fantastic time cruising from Dubrovnik to Split. The boat was ideal, meals fantastic, very attentive and helpful staff and best of all were the swimming stops each day. Being a swimmer, I've never swum is such magnificent blue water, that was the highlight for me!

- Anonymous, 29/07/2024 05:58, Travelled in a Couple

Strongly recommend Sail Croatia

The crew, host, food and stunning locations we visited made our holiday absolutely fantastic! Klara was so accommodating and helpful that she really took all the thinking and organising out of each day for us. Thanks so much!

Amazing Week Cruising

We had a wonderful week on the Katarina from Dubrovnik to Split. The crew were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, the boat was immaculate and Visko our tour manager was very approachable and helpful. Our only negative would be the inability to pay using card for some of the excursions and in particular the bar tab. It would have been nice to know in advance. We would definitely recommend travelling with Sail Croatia, you won’t regret it!!!

Dalmatian voyage

The stunning coastline and scenery provided the backdrop for a very pleasant and relaxing cruise amongst the islands between Split and Dubrovnik. The crew were excellent and looked after us very well. Food quality was excellent. Fellow passengers became friends and added to the convivial atmosphere. The only negative we experienced was excessive noise at the berths in two of the ports where we were unfortunately berthed beside boats with raucous Americans who stayed up way beyond the general curfew. Some noise is always a risk and indeed, this was flagged. However when it comes from another boat it’s profoundly irritating and detracts from the cruising experience. We would recommend Sail Croatia products, with the advisory about noise.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us on the Explorer Cruise aboard Tempera. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the coastline and scenery – our destinations are carefully selected to showcase the most beautiful and unique views, and it's wonderful to know they left a lasting impression on you. We are also delighted that our crew made you feel well looked after. Their dedication to providing exceptional service is something we take great pride in, and your kind words will surely motivate them even further. It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the quality of our food and made good friends with your fellow passengers. I'm sorry to hear about the noise disturbance from guests on nearby ships. We understand how this could affect your overall experience, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. Port Authorities manage curfews in each port, and unfortunately we are unable to control the behaviour on-bard other ships. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back on board the Tempera for another memorable journey soon. Warm regards,

Highlight of our trip

The people on board, Klara our on board tour director & the Island stops. Croatia is a fantastic destination & the islands are the icing on the cake. Easiest way to see them is an island hoping small boat cruise. Different destination each day with a swim stop in the beautiful Adriatic along the way.

Very good trip

Pero and Branco were great - helpful, friendly, hard-working. We would love to sail with them again! We booked a twin (for our daughters) and a double room (for myself and my husband), but we were given 2 twin rooms, which was not ideal. We booked our trip well in advance and confirmed at the time of booking that we were reserving a twin and a double. The meals were great - however, I would love to see an option of a lighter lunch - maybe some good salads and a protein option, versus the heavy lunch meals. Anna’s lack of experience showed and it would have been nice to have someone who knew the history a bit better. Additionally, she would only give her daily update at the end of lunch, after dessert. If you skipped dessert, you missed the recap. It would be better for her to give the update at the beginning of lunch, as everyone was sitting down and waiting for the food. This way, people could discuss the excursions during lunch. Also, her directions & information were not great.

Hi Abby, Thank you for your 4 star review. We are pleased to hear you found the Onboard Reps and crew helpful and friendly - your comments will be passed on to them. It's great to see your cruise rating received an overall score of 4.5 out of 5 stars. On some of our ships, the double beds can be two single beds pushed together to make a double bed and this was the case with your double bed cabin. Thank you for your kind comments on the meals served. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed this overall and we appreciate your suggestions for lighter options, thank you. That's a wonderful suggestion regarding the daily updates at the start of lunch. We appreciate your comments regarding your Onboard Rep, although we are a little surprised as this is one of our experienced Reps and our records show that she received ratings of 4.9 out of 5 for your departure. Thank you again for your comments and suggestions and we hope to have you join us again in the future.

Great time sailing the islands but inconsistent and some things could be done much better.

The ship was clean, spacious and well laid out. Good facilities and very comfortable way to travel. The staff were a mixed bag, some you would rate as a 5 for hospitality and some a 1, inconsistent. Host (Vicko) was good, he engaged with all the groups based on each style that suited (i.e. more or less engaged). The chef was good (as was the bfast) but nothing else worked for me, I don't think serving a 3 course meal for lunch with the ingredients we ate worked. Our first meal was a Turkey breast - probably the last thing I wanted to eat when visiting Croatia. From meatloaf to chicken it felt a bit silly being served that food for 3 course meals. Whilst the captain's dinner was ok, our entire table had a second meal (coincidentally the best food we ate of the trip) in the one location they scheduled the captain's dinner. My recommendation: examine each ships reviews and ratings (food, staff etc) and then decide based on that. A bit too inconsistent across the Sail Croatia fleet.

Nice but could be better

Me and my wife really liked the trip but definitely there are things that could be way better! The cabin, the breakfast were by far the best! The deck could be cleaner, the lunch was just ok, the crew except Vicko and Catarina could be nicer especially the captain and most the lack of flexibility on the schedule! Also the captain always choose the worst spot for the swimming time!

Hi Luis, we appreciate the 4-star review, thank you. It brings us immense joy to learn that you had a delightful experience with us and that you particularly cherished the cabin and breakfasts during your cruise. All cruises include 3-course lunches which is usually a starter, main and dessert - I'm sorry to hear you were unhappy with the lunches served, our chefs aim to provide a variety of meals using fresh, local produce. It's great to see from the feedback provided for your departure that the lunches were rated 4.6 out of 5 stars. We are saddened to hear of your disappointment with some of the crew and the captain. The swim stops for many are a highlight, and we are disheartened to hear of your experience. We will share all your feedback with our Operations Team and we thank you for all your input.

Great Trip

I would recommend Sail Croatia. We had a lovely trip. The boat had all the needed facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful. Swim stops were the highlight!

Explorer - Split to Croatia - Salve Di Mare

Did the explorer trip from Split to Dubrovnik on Salve Di Mare. Beautiful ship and fabulous crew. Booked a below deck cabin which was very spacious and comfortable and air con worked well, but cabin could do with some hooks or rails to hang wet/damp items plus a hob to stop shower water going over bathroom floor. Breakfast and lunch served daily and coffee/tea available all day. Bath/shower towels provided plus swim towels (not enough for all). Swim stops beautiful. Very much a broad age group on board - we all mixed well and had a fabulous time. Small ship cruising is definitely the way to go around Croatia!

- Judy, 20/09/2023 20:40, Travelled in a Couple

Great trip

Friendly staff, comfortable cabins and great food. All of the overnight stops were at beautiful islands with plenty of things to do. Only down sides were that our boat Almissa had no shade in the top deck and the only covered area downstairs was full of smokers. OK if you smoke but not if you don’t. They also need to be aware of where they empty sewer. On two occasions toilet paper and excrement was pumped out while we were swimming. Overall though, nice cruise.

Shaun's review

Food great except the 3d printed fish. The fish was always terrible. Everything else exceed expectations. Swim spots were the best part of the entire experience. One night on anchor for captins dinner should be apart of the cruise as having a great night for it to be cut short at 11 sucks. If people want to do things on the island have an agreed pick up time and pick up with the boat on the sundeck. Rooms all good. Crew amazing. Clara was good but she doesn't deviate from script when it came for things to do. Excursions were ok. The dinner was awesome. The buggies were the biggest ripoff ever. They were falling to pieces. Slow and break downs. 60€ pp for two people so €120 total for two hours.. I've hired brand new quads for 80€ and had for 24hrs and free exploration. Overall was great though Chepers

Croatia Adventures

Our Tour Manager Ivana was so knowledgeable and friendly, she showed us great places to visit and joined the group for dancing and singing on the boat too.... Ivana took us on some great tours. Our waiter Eril on the Princes Diana cruise was very attentive, friendly and smiled even if was up early and to bed late...he couldn't do enough for you. The size of our room was surprisingly larger than I expected and could take the large suitcases under our bed...We had a room on main deck area which all the other boats had to pass to get from one ship to another when docked, but we never heard anyone pass our door late at night so that was a bonus... a wee tip, I felt our room was a bit damp with the air conditioning and door closed, however my brother kept his door open when we were sailing as money locked in safe and trusted our crew and travellers on board and the breeze would flow through which was refreshing.

Tempura

We had a fantastic holiday visiting so many beautiful islands, the cruise is very well organised, the breakfast and lunch was very nice. Plenty of lovely food. The drinks could’ve been a little cheaper as you can’t bring anything on board. A coffee machine and water should be available 24 hours. This was missing from our cruise.Boris gave lots of information talks on each island that we visited he was very good and also funny , The swim stops were lovely, such beautiful places to swim the boat could’ve had more canoes and floats , The personal touches having drinks and dinner with the other guest was fantastic lots of memories made !! The trips are very well organised and great fun we went on the zip line that was incredible!! I would recommend sail Croatia we had a fantastic holiday with so many memories !

Very enjoyable and relaxing

Great atmosphere on boat with good interaction amongst travellers from varying demographic and nationality. Ability to do other activities at stops would have been appreciated. Was a bit same same with dock in location and walk around town. Swimming stops were much appreciated but could have included a few more accessories like stand up board etc other than just flotation noodles. Tour guide did a good job but was reluctant to make recommendations. Internet access was just adequate. Meals were plentiful but lunch with a sit down meal was a bit heavy and a smorgasbord like breakfast would have sufficed. Ability to pay drinks bill at end by card would be preferred rather than cash with itemised account expected. Overall though thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend.

- Tim, 14/08/2023 05:42, Travelled in a Couple

Great trip with friendly people and stunning scenery.

Spacious cabin (more so than expected as we had an extra bed). The crew and fellow passengers were great, and the scenery of the country is simply awesome. Just a few very minor tweaks would have made all the difference; better pillows (flat and uncomfortable) and bedding; a catch to hold the bathroom door and stop it swinging when in motion. Setting off early (sometimes 6am) meant being awoken and a lack of sleep and wasn't always necessary, it seems. But overall a fantastic experience, a great holiday and a lovely trip. Highly recommended.

- Alan, 27/06/2023 22:52, Travelled in a Couple

Great way to explore Croatia

Itinerary, boat and staff were all good, but some of us had a smell problem in the cabins at certain times. Not sure if this was an isolated problem on our trip or an ongoing problem? The design details in the cabins could have been better (need sliding door or lip at shower floor to prevent floor flooding, need shelves in bathroom to put stuff). The deck furniture was of low quality (cheap and thin foam cushions not very comfortable). Food was good but not excellent.

Marijana, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2023-06-19:

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback and your lovely 4-star review. At times if there is bad weather, smell can occur in the bathroom emitting from the shower drains. This is due to the movement of the ships on the water whereby this movement opens up airflow at the back of the pipe and into the bathroom. This is addressed in the Welcome Speech by the Sail Croatia Representative on board. Your points regarding cabin decor have been noted and it was pleasing to read that the food provided was of good quality - we do appreciate there is always room for improvement so please rest assured your comments have been passed on to the relevant departments. We do hope to see you again soon!

Sail Croatia explorer

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

Thank you so much for your 4 star review and all your comments. We are so glad you had a great time and that you found your representative Mila to be exceptional. Thank you for your kind comments regarding Marijan and the chef onboard. We will be sure to pass your comments to our team as they will appreciate very much hearing this. Our cabins are based on two person sharing a cabin and if there is a traveller travelling solo, then they are offered the option of booking a cabin with added Single Supplement cost which is 50% on top of per person pricing. This is offered at the time of booking and is advertised on our website under FAQ's. It isn't possible to waive this fee whilst on the cruise as it would be unfair to solo travellers onboard who booked and paid for a single occupancy cabin. Thank you for your feedback and we do hope we will welcome you again onboard sometime soon!

Sail Croatia Explorer Cruise

A small group of 30 people made our experience intimate and extremely enjoyable. We had an amazing experience with the other travellers and loved the knowledge and company of our tour guide Mila. Our bartender Maryan was also a stand out, so friendly and great service. The only recommendations I would have to further enhance the trip would be more regular changing of towels and sheets and more engagement from the other ship members (captain and sailors).

Enjoyable Trip

Went on the first tour of the year so most of the places we visited were quiet and many bars and restaurants not yet open. We still managed to have a good time though. The Tour Guide Dino was really friendly and helpful as well as knew a lot about places to go and what to see. Was good to see different places and added to the variety as well as being able to chill and relax between stops. There was a great group of people on board of mixed ages. We were looked after in the bar by Sime who made sure we had a good time there too. I was a bit disappointed that the Captain didn't interact with anyone even on the Captains Dinner! Didn't stop us having a good time though. There's plenty of food on board although not much variety, so expect meat and seafood. Overall was a great holiday and would definitely recommend although probably just once.

Great - but bad organisation at the end

Very nice boat with good cabins. For the most part, the organization was good however in the last 2 days they sent us back to our final port because they were worried about the weather however they got the weather completely wrong (which id fine), but they made u stay at port for 2 extra days and instead of going out for a swim stop or out of the port they just left us for 2 days in the same port. We were all not happy about that, pity as the rest of it was incredible!

Sail Craotia

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

Croatia is beautiful

We travelled on the Salve De Mare Ship which is a stunning ship, is kept extremely clean and in great condition. The crew all did their job well and the chef was exceptional. All meals were delicious. The only thing I would recommend is when booking a Sail Croatia tour ask the age group of the other guests on that trip. There was a 30+ year age gap between my husband and I and the other guests meaning we were much younger. It would have been nice to meet and holiday with people around a similar age to us too. We went in late September and half of our days were rainy, I would probably recommend doing this trip closer to the summer season also. Croatia is beautiful and well worth seeing and why not on a stunning ship?

Missed Opportunity

The food was super disappointing, the cabin bathrooms had zero amenities, the wifi was spotty at best, and the service provided from most of the crew was minimal. There are a lot of places where minimal effort and money could be spent to make the guest experience so much better. I don't feel like we received what we were sold and I could not recommend this to others.

Good People, but Wouldn't Recommend

The best part of the trip was the company of others who attended the same week, but everything else about the trip that was handled by Sail Croatia was pitiful. Horrible food, poor planning, disgusting cabins, and more than evident cost-cutting. The wifi was nonexistent and no soap, shampoo, or conditioner was provided. The bath towels provided were dirty and disgusting. I signed for a triple occupancy cabin and it ended up being a mattress on the floor. That is unacceptable. The other participants bonded on the boat over Sail Croatia's failings as a cruise liner. If I knew the lack of amenities provided and the poor organizing, I would not attend.

Thank you for your review Kalee. We are sorry to hear you were unhappy with your cabin arrangements and boat in general. I have gone through all the feedback ratings and we were given 4 stars for the 'boat overall'. Our chefs prepare all meals in their small gulleys located onboard the boat, aiming to provide a variety of meals however we understand that this is not always to everyone's taste. Soap, shampoo and conditioning is not included and we advise guests to bring their own onboard to avoid disappointment. Triple cabin consists of a small double bed and single bunk, as advised prior to booking this room type. As they are the same size as a twin share (2 people per cabin) we provide a 10% discount. I understand that you were moved to another cabin free of charge. We hope this was more than suitable. After reviewing the organisation of the cruise by the Onboard Representative, they were rated all 5 stars which includes; destination, organisation and friendliness. We thank you for your review.

Excellent Experience

The boat crew and the rep were excellent, nothing was to much trouble for them. Boat (Almissa) was fantastic and the itinerary was enjoyable. The only thing I didn't like was the fish (not Tuna steak) it don't know if it was fresh or frozen but didn't seem like the best representation of adriatic seafood considering we stopped at multiple ports. Thank you.

Croatia cruise

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.

Nice, clean and functional ship. Food decent and satisfactory. Setting aside weather, scenery, swim stops etc, the crew were very nice and mannerly. In particularly Ionana the rep.

Beautiful Swim Spots & Scenery, Made Fabulous New Friends, Food is Limited & Average

Explorer cruise on the Almissa in June. We had beautiful weather every day & enjoyed the daily swim stops. The other guests were GREAT & made the week enjoyable for us. Ivan, our guide, was informative & shared his love for his country & its history. The boat was quiet & smooth sailing. The Captain was skilled bringing the boat in to dock. The crew was mostly good with Mario, Ivan & the junior deck hand being hard working & friendly. The food was average. Starters were excellent but the mains were hit or miss. Fish was prepared well but other proteins were dry & bland. Lasagna was the best meal. Fruit was old by end of week. Be aware: there is only 1 choice for lunch so if you don't want to eat octopus or squid ink pasta, be specific on your eating preferences as extra portions/options aren't available unless specified ahead of time. Food is only available at meal times & no snacks available to buy. Asst chef wasn't friendly & made some feel uncomfortable. Good Trip overall.

Mr

Ivana and the crew were lovely, the highlight for us was meeting up so many fantastic people. We loved the swim stops and all the places we visited. Croatia is a truly amazing place and we will always keep fond memories of our time at Almissa.

Honeymoon in Croatia

My wife and I just came back from a week on the Salve De Mare. Croatia is such an awesome country and has so much to See and do our hostess Kalmia, planned our excursions and reservations with ease Our wait staff, Daniel and Ivana were so amazing I can honestly say daniel is a special guy he is so professional, attentive caring, witty and made our my/our stay so much better.. he quickly remembered all the guests names drinks and treated us like family… He was Such a gem and I can see that young man will be successful in life and wish him the best.. As for Our chef Palve he is so passionate and you can see he truly loves being a Chef my only thing is I wish there was some sort of way we could have the option of having a couple options for lunches such as wraps salads burgers etc I found I was having meals that would be fit for dinner for lunch and often felt too full and needed a nap lol All in all a great experience and would definitely recommend sail Croatia!

Great experience!

The trip overall has been amazing. The staff (Sail Croatia and crew) has been very helpful. Also big shout-out to the chef, that spoiled us with an delicious three-course meal every day! Some small improvements can be made (e.g. transparency on check-in process), however we would definitely book this trip again!
