Fantastic Croatia!

What an adventure! Sailing on the Olimp was fantastic. First, the cruise leader, Ioana. Wow. Dynamic, organized, fun. Not sure the cruise would have been the same without her leading the way. The ship itself was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was helpful to make sure all our needs were met. Beautiful destinations and fun history tours. Even though we were traveling with friends, the new friends we made helped make things even better. Would be happy to go again.

Small ship sailing

The ship, Olmp, was immaculate and the crew always helpful. With only 36 passengers the experience was very personal and we were fortunate to have a very interesting and homogenous group . The meals served were all delicious but the service was a little too efficient for me. I prefer a slower pace while eating. The only meal that I would avoid n the future is the so called "BBQ". Definitely not up t the chefs usually high standards. The Sail Croatia cruise is a great way to sample all that Croatia has to offer. Our cruise director, Ioana, added another dimension to our touring experience. We all had a wonderful and educational experience on the cruise

Cruising the Dalmatian Islands

We sailed the Dalmatian islands off the coast of Croatia on board the luxury cruise yacht Olimp. The accommodation was exceptional comfortable and roomy. Captain Jure and the crew of the Olimp were outstanding, providing an awesome experience, while cruise representative Vedran took great care of us explaining (each day) historic/cultural significance of each port we stopped at and leading us in some of our on-shore tours. Even though our cruse was in late September / early October we still managed to stop periodically in quiet coves to swim and enjoy the waters of the Adriatic.

Great trip!

The tour director, Ivana went over and above- very responsive to people. So kind and knowledgeable! The meals were amazing- better than most restaurants. I liked having the down time in the morning to relax and a good overview of what was available in town made town visits enjoyable. The captains dinner with dancing and singing after was a kick. Thank you for everything!

October Surprise

We avoided the extreme heat and crowds that summer in Croatia usually brings. We were still able to swim in the mornings and enjoy walking around the smaller towns. The food on the Esperanza was quite good. Our tour director Ivana did a good job keeping us informed and on schedule.

Stylish way to see Croatia

Sailed on the Olimp from Split to Dubrovnik and back. It was great to visit some smaller destinations. We were extremely well looked after by all the crew. A special mention has to go to our guide Ioana who brought her energy every day.

Great Time on Olimp

Every aspect of the cruise was great: the ship, the itinerary and of course the staff, especially Ioana, the representative from Sail Croatia. Lots of great memories and pictures!

- David, 15/10/2024 05:33, Travelled with Friend/s

Fabulous

We travelled up the Croatian Coast in Oct. 2024. The trip was simply terrific. The itinerary was first rate, the crew could not do enough to accommodate us, the ship was beautiful, and the food was better than restaurants. Overall we are recommending this type of travel, with Sail Croatia, to all of our friends.

- Anonymous, 15/10/2024 02:27, Travelled with Family

The cruise was my first and I hope to do another in the not so distant future. The captain and crew were so amazing so friendly and so helpful. The lady chef put out the most incredible food. As good as if not better than any restaurant we visited. Our tour leader Ivana was also amazing, she made us feel so welcome and to watch her professionalism was truly get to see. I highly recommend Sail Croatia to anyone who wants to enjoy beautiful sights, great food and beautiful people.

Memorable holiday

The ship was comfortable and quite luxurious. Staff were very helpful and always pleasant The food was excellent. Congratulations to the chefs The cabin was cleaned daily and towels and bedding changed. Well done to the maid The captain changed the route when necessary to enjoy a safe venue and sheltered areas to swim. Being able to use the drop down platform enabled me to enjoy the daily swim stop. I would not have been able to do the swimming without it. Captain and crew did everything to enhance our experience. The travel guide V was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour. All in all a very positive and memorable trip. I woul highly recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you Sail Croatia and staff of Olimp.

Great trip, wonderful scenery, super food, amazing tour guide (Karolina), friendly staff, and helpful sales team (we had to postpone our original trip for a year due to a knee replacement)..

Bucket List Cruise

Everything about our cruise on The Olimp was fantastic. The cabins were very comfortable, great showers and quite roomy. The food was amazing - every meal absolutely delicious. The boat was beautiful we had lots of space to relax and the captain chose excellent swim spots. The stops at the various towns were great and V we had time to wander and see the sights.. I have wanted to do this cruise for a long time and I was not disappointed - it was absolutely 5 star ⭐️

Dubrovnik to Split 7 day cruise

Our September cruise on the Queen Jelena was wonderful. The ship is as depicted and very clean. Highlights include: - stops to swim in the Adriatic Sea - delicious meals - Mia, our tour manager, was very helpful, knowledgeable and available - charming ports and excursions in Dubrovnik (old town), Split ( the palace), Mljet ( biking through National Park)

Croatia Adventure

Croatia is a great place to explore and sailing is a great way to vacation. The ship is beautiful and has a wonderful crew to insure your time spent is enjoyable. We met fabulous people on the cruise and in every port.

Amazing Vacation

Our friends from the neighborhood sailed with us - but the other passengers were lovely addition to the vacation. Mia was the best! So knowledgeable and pleasant.

Sail Croatia

It was a great experience. Vedren was wonderful. Not only knowledgeable but was so fun to be with. We had a wonderful time and will let all know what a wonderful time we had. The staff and captain were also great. Thank you for a wonderful 50th Anniversary.

Olimp holiday

From the moment we got on board and met all the guests and staff we felt at home and very special. Our beautiful cabin manager Ioanna or Jo as we called her and all the staff were fantastic! Boris and Stella behind the bar and serving our meals each day, cooked by our wonderful chefs was fantastic. Swim stops and our friendly sailors who set everything up we’re also fantastic. Captains dinner was so much fun as was the village dinner and we loved our below deck cabin too. Thanks to our captain and crew for a wonderful trip on the stunning Olimp and to our new friends we have made around the world .

Absolutely a travel must

Above expectations! The itinerary was great. Loved each port. Food was outstanding. The staff were wonderful. Kudos to the following: Mia-cruise manager-kept us informed, provided site suggestions and timely updates. Responsive to all needs. Capt Vlado-Made changes to itinerary to keep us sheltered from inclement weather. Ensured smooth sailing. Anna and Antonia-our dining/bar staff-super friendly and attentive. Cook staff-I was amazed by the food onboard. Special thanks for accommodating me as a vegetarian. My only negative comment is that the wifi was a struggle. Several of us were constantly trying to access it which meant not all guests had up to date info.

Best Vacation in a Long Time!

Not sure where to even start - we had smiles on our faces from the moment we were greeted by our cruise rep for the trip, Vedran. He made us feel welcome and we knew we were in a fabulous trip! The staff of 7 (not including Vedran and Captain Gordan) did everything they could to make our 7 days the best they could ever be. Everyday we went to a new island full of beauty unlike anything we've ever seen! Vedran gave us some much education, information and recommendations at each location which was extremely helpful! His passion for Croatia is infectious! Our room was cleaned every morning by sweet Ella (a thank less job but very appreciated). Our room was very comfortable - we opted for a room on the lower level and it was perfect! The chefs - Frane and Ana, created a lovely breakfast and delicious, large lunches every day and they were great! Our waiters/baretenders - Tomo and Pamela - were so professional and so fun to get to know. I miss everyone so much! Until next time.

Esperanza

Mia, the team leader, and all of the crew. Together with the captain the made the whole experience. The captain navigated to ensure we missed nothing on our itinerary. We are looking to book another cruise next year.

The most amazing week

We spent a week on the Olimp in September 2024 and can honestly say it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. From the luxury of the boat to the wonderful crew we were thoroughly spoilt. We met some great friends and saw just how beautiful the Croatian coastline is. Our daily swim stops and evenings spent in a different island made it a magical week. Special thanks go to our Captain Jure and our Tour Manager Ioana for their exceptional service.

Esperanza Dubrovnik return

Honestly every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming. Karolina was amazing and so warm.. we happened to board with a fantastic group of travellers all very kind and friendly. The boat is very comfortable and clean. The daily swims and perfect weather the cherry on the top.

Getaway

I could not have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable experience. The crew were wonderful, especially the guest co-ordinator Karolina. The boat is beautiful, clean and well appointed. The ports we visited were beautiful and each offered a unique experience. The daily swim stops were stunning and really made each day wonderful. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone needing a break or wanting to see and learn about beautiful Croatia. I hope to come back and do it again.

Truly Magical

- Kristin , 06/09/2024 19:12, Travelled with Family

Wonderful Trip

The Sail Croatia staff provided excellent, caring and friendly service. The trip was very relaxing as we enjoyed the swim stops. The meals were very tasty; however, an alternate selection would have been appreciated for those not enjoying what was provided. The rooms were very comfortable, but the air conditioning was not very cool. We were very appreciative to have a fan. Our tour guide, V, was excellent and very entertaining. All in all, it was a very memorable time. 😁

Queen Jelena - Dubrovnik to Split - 8/25 to 9/1/24

The ship was beautiful and comfortable, the cruise director was very funny and knowledgeable and the crew was very professional, competent, friendly and helpful.. We enjoyed it thoroughly! It was extremely hot during the cruise and the swim stops were a wonderful way to cool off but it was hard to stay cool on the boat. The food was good but lunches were a bit heavy for my tastes and drinks were a bit on the weak side. Stops and excursions were interesting and informative - could have skipped Milna -may be replace with Trogir or a night not in port with 2nd swim stop and simple light dinner on the ship.

- Bob , 03/09/2024 09:25, Travelled with Friend/s

Awesome trip

V the cruise director was great! He was knowledgeable and had a great personality. He made sure we had everything we needed. All the crew was freindly and attentive. They made the trip even better with their attention to detail. Loved the swim stops and beautiful islands.

Island hopping.

Great way to see the islands.

- Ray, 03/09/2024 06:13, Travelled with Friend/s

Wonderful experience - definitely one to repeat!

We absolutely loved our time on the Queen Jelena, which lives up to its ‘elegance cruise’ name. Some stunning spots selected for a daily swim stop before a lovely lunch as we sailed into our port for the day. The boat is immaculate and clearly well taken care of. All the staff were great, with our tour manager Vedran making this an exceptional experience with his briefings and recommendations and engagement with all the passengers. Would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to see more of Croatia and achieve that perfect balance of chill and exploration.

- Melanie, 01/09/2024 20:56, Travelled with Friend/s

Beautiful ‘Olimp’

Everything about our Elegance Cruise on Olimp was 5 star with wonderful staff, dining and ship facilities. The swim platform on our boat was the best we saw in Croatia. Wouldn’t hesitate to return on another trip.

- Beth, 26/08/2024 07:21, Travelled with Family

Amazing

The Olimp and its crew were amazing, friendly and attentive . The yacht is gorgeous and the whole experience exceeded my expectation. The daily swims were fabulous, the daily lunches delicious and the excursions that Mia recommended were a lot of fun. Fellow passengers were a lot of fun and made it memorable as well. Thanks again to a wonderful captain George, his crew and Mia!! Looking forward to another trip in the future.

Fab

What a fantastic way to see the islands. The food was fabulous. The Crew made you feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. We have seen some of the islands previously on large cruise ships but having experienced cruising this way this is now our preference. Our room was a good size and air conditioned, a powerful shower small things I know but all make a difference. And things the travel agent may not know. We made new friends and have booked for next year with them 😀

- Caroline , 20/08/2024 07:29, Travelled with Friend/s

Aussie friends

Destination and new friends. Organised tours and great hospitality from Mia and the crew. But ultimately it was swimming in the Adriatic in deep water.

Wonderful Way to Visit Croatia!

Ten person adult family trip - wonderful way to see the best of Croatia. Cities of Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Split as well as smaller island villages. Balanced blend of excursions and free time to explore. Enjoyed our time, met people from Australia, England, and the US, and have already recommended Sail Croatia to family and friends considering a holiday in Croatia. Excellent staff (Mia) and ship crew,

Happy travelor

We were blown away by the ship, our room, all the amenities, the places we stopped, the food, etc., but mostly the personnel. Our guide/coordinator Barbara was wonderful. She answered all of our questions and concerns quickly, she was very friendly and competent. For anyone looking for a great experience they should take advantage of what Sail Croatia has to offer.

Queen Jelena was a blast

We have just disembarked from Queen Jelena. The week was absolutely glorious. From Tomo and Pamela in the bar to Joseph and Matteo our sailors to Ella looking after our cabins and our fabulous captain Gordon we couldn’t have asked her a bit of week. But most of all our Leeder Ioana she was amazing. Constantly working to make our lives better and keep us updated. She went over and above every day so thank you Ioana. Danced the night away on our captains dinner it was a sensational week.
