Rooms spacious, the excursions were well planned and brilliant. Our host Anita was friendly and very helpful. The sailing team were friendly and helpful. The food could have been better, the portions however were generous. Swim stops lovely. Would have liked the hot tub warmer when it was available to use. The team were very organised and gave us all the info on stops, timings and what to do at each port. It is a fantastic boat the captain and crew were exceptional!

- Lauren, 27/10/2024 12:48, Travelled Solo

Anita, our Tour manager was fantastic! Always thinking on all the passengers and making sure we had a great time. The cabins were comfortable, spacious. The food was very good with varieties. I will definitely repeat soon with Sail Croatia.

- Dulce, 27/10/2024 04:07, Travelled with Family

The tour was a wonderful way to see some of Croatia, relax, and enjoy some outdoor and cultural activities. Ioana was a fantastic tour guide and the crew on the boat provided excellent service. The history tour in Split was very interesting, the wine tasting in Korcula was lovely, bike riding in Mljet and Makarska (private rental) was a great way to see the area, and going up the cable car in Dubrovnik provided amazing views of the city and coastline. I enjoyed the swim stops and the option to use the on-board paddle board and kayak, and the food onboard was delicious and plentiful. There was a good mix of down-time and activities/walking in the towns to keep things fun and interesting. We weren't able to do all of the excursions due to weather conditions, but it wasn't a big issue (and they were often quite pricey). I enjoyed seeing a number of different locations, while returning to the same room every night and getting to know the many wonderful people on the tour.

- Aimee, 26/10/2024 22:10, Travelled Solo

The guide, Anita, was excellent. Charming, efficient and most helpful. It was a joy to have such service. I cannot recommend her too much. The crew were very helpful. Food not so good- too much overcooked meat, just one fish dish in 7 days.. Good bar service. Most enjoyable party after the captain',s dinner- lots of dancing ! I did not engage in excursions, as too strenuous for my age.. Others enjoyed them.. Cabin fine and very efficient and pleasant cleaner.

- Michael, 24/10/2024 13:59, Travelled Solo

Beautiful sea, great weather, kind and simpatico crew and staff. Kind and professional captain who took on board the requests of his guests and supported them when he could. Cleaver and knowledgable tour guide Anita always helpful, kind and fun. So, thank you it was a wonderful holiday.

- Viv, 23/10/2024 21:58, Travelled with Family

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

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!

- Alison, 21/10/2024 05:43, Travelled with Family

Ioana and the crew

- Georgette, 14/10/2024 19:24, Travelled with Family

We travelled on the Katarina from Split return. It was so much fun and the scenery spectacular. If I had to suggest one thing that is a must I would say you need to book on the Katarina. It is a family run yacht and they honestly treat you like family. It was 5 star from start to finish.

- Sandy, 14/10/2024 09:36, Travelled with Family

My sister and I had a great trip on the Tempera ship. What more can I say about the amazing crew, the 5 star meals, the swim stops and the experiences that were set up by our hard-working, devoted ship activity director, Ioana. The small ship atmosphere is the way to go. I would highly recommend Sail Croatia.

- Carolyn , 07/10/2024 19:23, Travelled with Family

Really enjoyed the crew! Ioana was absolutely amazing and always replied so quickly. Food was excellent but you need good hot coffee. (This seemed to be the consensus) Room was perfect. Really enjoyed the whole experience, thank you!

- Mary-Ellen, 07/10/2024 19:22, 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

Bought the explorer sail package and it was absolutely perfect. Wake up, have breakfast buffet on board, the captain would drop us off for a swim stop (1-3 hours), then it’s a 3 course lunch, right as we finish our lunch we have arrived at our new destination. We then had the rest of the day to explore at our own pace or sign up for the additional excursions. It was the perfect balance of scheduled and free time. I can’t wait to go back to Croatia!

- Han, 03/10/2024 15:56, Travelled Solo

What a wonderful week on Tempra Explorer Cruise this week. The crew were extremely helpful and attentive. The chef was masterful in his approach to Croatian cuisine. Lovely presentations and always supremely delicious. Our Sail Croatia host Victor was such a positive influence. He is funny and very knowledgeable. Our cabin was easily large enough for 2 adults and good size bathroom and shower. Loved this cruise!

- Diane, 30/09/2024 16:02, Travelled with Family

It's ok

- Navi, 30/09/2024 05:10, Travelled Solo

Dino was amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable, provided wonderful recommendations and was always available. The staff was awesome, couldn’t have asked for nicer people. The boat was nice and spotless. Would and will highly recommend to others

- Anonymous, 30/09/2024 02:55, 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.

- Daryl, 24/09/2024 07:24, Travelled with Family

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

Loved my 7 day cruise on Almissa! Every day waking up to stunning Croatian islands, towns and cities was such a fantastic experience with options to do as much or little as you want. Almissa the boat was clean and well equipped to cater for all passengers. The cabin was spacious and comfortable and the crew including Dino the Cruise Director were fantastic! I would 100% recommend and if I'm ever over this side of the globe again, wouldn't hesitate to join another Sail Croatia cruise.

- Bianca, 23/09/2024 18:01, Travelled with Family

Dino was an excellent sail leader. He provided great recommendations and helped make navigation super east. I’ve been able to return to Dubrovnik solo with no issues getting there. He made the trip very fun and carefree.

- Steph, 23/09/2024 12:51, Travelled Solo

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

This was our first sail Croatia cruise and it exceeded all my expectations. The itinerary was a perfect way to see Croatia and included some great excusions. Every stop was beautiful Our cruise rep Vicko was fantastic, his knowledge allowed us to plan a perfect week and see as much as we could in the time we had. We definitely will return again

- Claire, 17/09/2024 07:21, Travelled with Family

Sail Croatia was a very pleasant surprise, it really exceeded my expectations in many levels. Staff was extremely attentive and accommodating to every guest’s needs. Food and service were amazing. Ship was very clean. Different options were given every day for optional excursions. Ship schedule was perfect to enjoy every stop’s treasures and nightlife for those who wished. Ioana was our host and was always around to bring groups together and make everyone feel involved. I was traveling solo but never felt alone. We all felt like family by day 2. Fun laughs and memories to cherish forever. I would come back again and again!

- Karina, 13/09/2024 10:30, Travelled Solo

The trip was a wonderful experience, made better by the great staff and the other guests. Made some good friends and discovered the beauty of the Croatian coast on a comfortable boat. Highlights included the swim stops, the local cuisine and the beautiful towns we stopped at

- Becky, 09/09/2024 14:01, Travelled with Family

T he crew was great and our tour director, Dino, was very helpful and friendly No complaints and we would do this again in a heart beat. Thanks so much for an amazing week!!

- Nikki, 09/09/2024 07:21, Travelled with Family

The people. If you want some fun in the sun while exploring the culture and beauty of Croatia book yourself in as soon as you can!

- Sophie, 09/09/2024 00:43, Travelled Solo

Our passionate Sail Croatia guide Ivan was always there for us with recommendations for activities and food and local history at our Port stops . Our ship Salve Di Mare and crew were also amazing with at least one swim stop per day. Each swim stop the crew moored us in amongst the most stunning scenery and pristine water.

- Ian, 03/09/2024 21:17, Travelled with Family

Tonka and Loana were great cruise leaders . They and the rest of the crew were very friendly and always available to answer questions and /or help in any way. They were also very flexible with regard to on-boat activities . The swim stops were beautiful and safe. The boat was steady .It was a wonderful way to explore the small islands along the Croatian coast. It was great that the bar was open to the wee hours. However, a more diverse cocktail menu is suggested.The wines were great. There were a few snags on the boat. E.g. intermittent unpleasant sulphur-like oder in the cabin. The cabin could use brighter lighting , especially in the bathroom. Also, I would suggest washable flooring in the cabins to make them less prone to mildew. The Sail Croatia experience was spectacular! I would do it again.

- juana, 01/09/2024 13:27, Travelled Solo

The whole Tempura team was amazing. The food, the service, the excursions… everything was top notch! As a solo traveler amongst all friends and couples, I felt like I was taken in as part of a big family! I still had my alone time when I needed it, but most of the time you could find me on the deck with the rest of the group, laughing hysterically or just taking in the breathtaking views. I would 100% recommend Sail Croatia, and I could see myself returning for another trip in the future!

- Allison, 26/08/2024 14:55, Travelled Solo

For the price that you pay which is quite exorbitant I don’t think this experience lives up to the cost or the hype. While the crew and the staff on board as well as the guide are absolutely lovely and the service was great the boat is old, creaky and smelly.. The air-conditioning barely worked and people complained non-stop about the Aircon not working. There were no fans even on deck which are desperately needed to combat the unbearable European summer heat. Unfortunately it did not live up to the expectations and certainly not to the reviews I’ve seen on site. The boats need full renovations and need to be fully updated in order for them to be able to get a higher rating.

- Anonymous, 25/08/2024 14:46, Travelled Solo

Our tour guide Ivana was exceptional - energetic, well organised and informative - she also took the time to get to know us all which in turn helped to bond the group - I boarded as a solo traveller but soon that was forgotten and friends were made. The boats facilities were excellent, modern, clean and fresh. We enjoyed delicious food, the crew were attentive and worked hard to make our trip enjoyable but were also so much fun. ! Highly recommended !!!

- Sally Spencer , 21/08/2024 19:06, Travelled Solo

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

Our time on the Princeza Diana was fantastic and the crew made our experience one to remember, especially Katarina, Errol and Nikolina! They were so attentive and made sure every passenger had an amazing time and the knowledge they had of each place we went to meant that we could experience the very best of Croatia. The food was incredible every day and the chefs catered to everyone’s needs. The excursions were fantastic. We were able to see and experience so much of each place. This was honestly one of the best holidays I have ever had and I’m very grateful to Sail Croatia for everything.

- Rachel , 19/08/2024 18:33, Travelled with Family

Friendly, attentive crew. Fantastic rep (Katarina). Clean ship, great food, well chosen destinations. Good choice of excursions mixed with daily swim stops. A fun filled week with lots of time to relax too.

- Dawn, 19/08/2024 06:57, Travelled with Family

My kids and I planned our vacation with Sail Croatia and we were blown away. We have never been to that part of the world. We created some amazing family memories that we will cherish forever. The staff was phenomenal and the week we shared with them and the other travelers felt like we were with extended family. We were not ready for it to end! Thank you again for an amazing experience!

- KELLIE, 18/08/2024 12:49, 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

This was my first solo trip. Sail Croatia was extremely helpful during the planning process. On the trip the staff were wonderful. I did the explorer cruise on Salve di Mare. The food was delicious. I had the best week and am forever thankful for this trip. I highly recommend taking a trip through Sail Croatia, you will not regret it!

- Madison, 12/08/2024 20:12, Travelled Solo

Sail Croatia introduced me to my new favorite way to travel!! My family and I had the absolute best time at sea for a week. From the crew, to the islands, to the daily swim stops, to the food, everything was perfect. I'm telling everyone I know that they need to experience a Sail Croatia cruise! Thank you for the best time!!

- Willow, 12/08/2024 16:40, Travelled with Family

Everything!!! Tour, Crew, Food and Safety Achieved!!! Marija was such a beautiful person who was professional. She was informative, helpful and authentic in her dealings with people. A brilliant tour guide. All the grew members were fabulous and interacted professionally and authentically. You could feel their passion for Croatia and their care for their passengers. Our group of people all interacted and mixed well together.. The itinerary worked well for the 7 nights. Each island was unique in themselves. The swim stops were refreshing, fun, relaxing and enable people to socialise too I found the Tempera to be a great boat and I liked the layout. The top sun deck allowed you to socialise with chit chat, relax in the shade or get a suntan. The middle deck provided another area to socialised or unwind. I felt that the cabin I was in had a lot of room to move about and I enjoyed being above deck. The food was delicious!!!

- Jenine, 12/08/2024 12:29, Travelled Solo

A three tier generational family holiday, which catered for all of us. The food, crew, activities and the boat were all first class. Sail Croatia created a special family memory which we will all remember.

- Jan, 12/08/2024 11:41, Travelled with Family

Where do I start. The ship, the cruise director, the staff , the food the tours available and the wonderful passengers. This trip will be won of my more memorable ones even though the airline I flew with lost my luggage and had to buy my essentials before we set sail. It did not spoil the amazing time I had even as a solo traveller. Will highly highly recommend Sail Croatia. 10 points. If I could score more i would. Aussie from Sydney

- Vincenza , 12/08/2024 08:57, Travelled Solo

I spent the week on the Princeza Diana going from Split to Dubrovnik. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect week. The captain and crew were great, the food was AMAZING!! Erol and Nikolina were exemplary serves/bar tenders. Nikos did a wonderful job as our tour director, providing information and history on our daily stops and details and recommendations for activities and restaurants. As a solo traveler, I was able to meet people from all over the world, and left the week with some lifelong friends. I already want to plan another week with Sail Croatia!

- Meghan, 06/08/2024 10:21, Travelled Solo

Fabulous, friendly crew who met all of our needs.

- Jennifer, 06/08/2024 10:02, Travelled with Family

Firstly, the crew were a huge highlight of the week long sailing up the Croatian coastline on the Adriatic Sea. They were warm and welcoming, energetic, professional and made every effort to make my stay a memorable one. I cannot speak more highly of their efforts to make this week of sailing relaxing and enjoyable, leaving me with no other option but to book again for next year! Secondly. The Tempera was a beautiful ship, exceeding my expectations. Spacious rooms, large deck area for relaxing and gathering together and first class cuisine. The food was amazing! You certainly won’t be hungry! Thirdly, the destinations they chose to stop, not only in port, but also for swim stops were breathtaking. For my first cruise ship experience, this once is going to be hard to beat. Once again, thank you to the crew, our knowledge and welcoming tour leader and Sail Croatia for making my first time in Croatia one I will not forget!!

- Christopher , 06/08/2024 07:31, Travelled Solo

Undoubtedly one of my best holidays ever. I couldn’t rave about our experience on Princesa Diana more. Anita was our rep and was FANTASTIC - kind, patient, informative, fun and with the best energy, she made our trip truly special. I would do Sail Croatia just to be led by her and the fantastic crew too. Nikolina and Errol, thank you for warm hearts and huge generosity - SO much fun and amazing to sail with. Our captain and all other crew were wonderful too. The food was also outstanding with exceptional service to match all round. A very beautiful boat too which I could have cruised on for days and days. The cruise route was also fabulous and such a brilliant way to see Croatia. This exceeded my expectations and more.

- Sian, 30/07/2024 20:36, Travelled with Family

The crew! Anita, Nicolina & Erol were brilliant, They worked so hard. The Captain & his team kept the boat moving and immaculate and the cooks provided us with so much food but our daily interaction with the "front of house" team was lovely. Anita kept us informed about our visits and was such a friendly and helpful leader. Nicolina & Erol were just great and kept us well "watered". We were so well looked after.

- Peter, 30/07/2024 15:43, Travelled Solo

The itinerary was incredible visiting the most amazing islands with swim stops along the way in the Adriatic Sea. Klara was the best host and all the crew were exceptionally helpful. I will definitely be returning for another Sail Croatia cruise.

- Sandra, 29/07/2024 19:28, Travelled with Family

I chose an Explorer Cruise on Princeza Diana as I was travelling solo for the very first time. As I am of mature age I felt this trip would be the exact blend of adventure and relaxation. SO TRUE.!!🤗 I spent the week with a wonderful group of people of all ages and could spend as much , or as little time as I pleased socialising. I never felt pushed into late night clubs, opting to drink at the boats bar of a night after dinner. The crew were amazing , especially Erol and Nikolina ,and made me feel like a special guest. Our tour director Anita was amazing and took us all under her wing and organised our adventures, which were always your choice to attend or not. At no time did I not feel included and made some wonderful cruise buddies and friends over the week. Highly recommended

- Helen, 29/07/2024 17:49, Travelled Solo

We did a 7 night cruise from Dubrovnik to Split on Salve Di Mare with two teenagers, other family and friends. There were 10 of us and another 28 people on board. The boat itself is lovely with spacious cabins , a great dining room, tons of sun beds on the top level , a large outdoor lounge area and a spa at the front. So glad we chose this option instead of a catamaran. The itinerary changes as you go so you cant plan to do activities apart from those offered on the boat (which you book the day before each port) . We did the bike hire at Mijet, both wineries and the dune buggy tour. The dune buggy is not what we expected. No ‘off road ‘ dune bashing… just a ride around the island in buggies or jeeps on paved roads. Not worth the 60 euros each person. Make sure you get off the boat at Hvar when they offer a water taxi as it is a lovely town. Make sure you see the Blue Cave near Vis. It is spectacular. The meals are great (included) and the drinks expensive on board (not included).
