The other passengers were lovely and kind. The staff were very professional and helpful. Ivana was a brilliant Tour Manager too.

Everything about this trip was better than I could have hoped for. The boat, the cabins and amenities were excellent. But what made it extra special were the dedicated team onboard who went out of their way to make our holiday a memorable occasion. The cooking was superb, the team serving us were amazing, the captain and crew the best. The swim stops each day were a big highlight and a magical experience. The islands each had their own charm. I felt so well looked after on this holiday. Another bonus was the great mix of similar age groups on the boat. I would definitely recommend this boat and team. A special callout to our Tour Manager, Ioana, who made it all happen, incredible co-ordination and management skills plus a charming personality to match. Great job Ioana and team. Thank you, Sail Croatia, until next time!

The trip on the Olimp was an amazing experience, the food, the boat, the staff, the cabins everything was excellent, Also the Sail Croatia staff were very attentive and accommodating right through the booking process

- Christine, 15/08/2024 02:31, Travelled Solo

My solo cabin was clean and comfortable, with an outside door to let in the breeze and hang clothes outside. Air conditioning was strong. Food at breakfast and lunch were fantastic and Vedran’s recommendations for dinner and drinks were spot on. The smaller ship allowed us to have magical swim stops every day and explore small islands. Each day varied depending on the island, with some days more chill and others full of sightseeing or hikes. I was traveling solo but we had an incredibly warm and inclusive group of travelers from different generations. The smaller setting and a week together made it easy to connect.

- Evelyn, 23/07/2024 10:09, Travelled Solo

The Esperanza crew were absolutely amazing, Ivana was fantastic at organising all our tours and information for our stops . I would highly recommend this cruise for solo travellers as it is small group and easy to socialise The food was excellent also,

- Lynda, 02/07/2024 09:27, Travelled Solo

Travelling solo for the first time in years was always going to be an adventure but I knew the intimate feel of this holiday would work for me. Lovely fresh food, Vedran our attentive coordinator and the whole crew and guests made me feel very included on this Split North tour capturing so many UNESCO gems. The weather was kind, the sleeping quarters very well sound proofed and the shower fab! My nut allergy was carefully catered for and Stella and Boris' cocktails divine! I didn't turn the TV on once and the walking tours helped me burn off those varied meals prepared by the two chefs. All staff were approachable and took feedback seriously. Krka Falls was so lovely in the last week of May and teeming with wildlife. The swim stops ticked off dolphins, flying fish, 2 species of starfish and sea urchins plus was amazing to see a decent sized octopus and cuttlefish outside of an aquarium. Comparing Olimp to similar vessels we were clearly very blessed! Thank you Sail Croatia!

- Tams, 04/06/2024 18:35, Travelled Solo

My Croatia cruise on the Esperanza with Sail-Croatia was fantastic! I couldn't have asked for more. The manager/cruise director, Ioana, was so great. I enjoyed all the shore excursions she suggested, such as the buggies and the visit to the bio reserve. The captain was such a nice man; so were Tomo, Anna, Filip, and the crew. The food was great. The cooks were happy to accommodate anyone's dietary needs. (I mentioned I didn't go for octopus, so they kindly cooked me a zucchini fritter dish instead, and I enjoyed that very much. They did the same for several others who wanted something different.) Many other passengers agreed with me that the food on the cruise was consistently better than the restaurants we visited onshore. The other passengers were great people, too! The ship was beautiful and comfortable, polished to a high shine, and the accommodations were perfectly comfortable. And of course, the Croatian coast is a shatteringly beautiful place. Great work, Sail Croatia!

- Andrew, 01/06/2024 00:13, Travelled Solo

This was the trip of a lifetime for me. Our boat was a beautiful 100 metre wooden ship and the crew kept it in tip top form. They were very welcoming and happy, and made me feel so comfortable for the whole trip. The food was absolutely the best ever and so beautifully presented. The captain was incredible and so precise with his dockings and the running of his ship. Our host was really fun and, before we went out on an excursion, would fill us in on the history of where we were going and tell what we could do there and where to eat. The lady who looked after our berths was very good and I'd come back to a wonderful and clean room each day. We were very well looked after! The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms with the shower were very roomy! I will sail with Sail Croatia again.

- Heather, 29/05/2024 16:51, Travelled Solo

Great crew, tour manager (Vedran), food was lovely, and a great group which made the trip really special. So relaxing, I'll most definitely be booking a cruise in the future. The Queen Jelena is beautiful and so full of character, lower deck room very comfortable, private and quiet. Breakfast could probably be improved - a little "samey" but lunches were delicious, as was the Captain's Dinner, and the village dinner was great fun. I missed Split because of joining the cruise late, but would suggest having more time there (overnight) and having less time in Milna as there was very little there. Also suggest having village dinner somewhere other than Korcula as there are so many dinner options there and perhaps having that dinner in one of the quieter places might work better. And would be good to spread these events over the week rather than 2 nights in a row. Excursions I went on were great - wine tasting in Vela Luka and walking tours in Korcula and Dubrovnik.

- Fiona, 30/04/2024 08:10, Travelled Solo

I had such a great week sailing the Dalmatian Coastline. The crew were incredible as was our tour director, Ivan. We saw so much and had time to wander off to see the wonders on our own. Would definitely recommend for solo and couple travelers.

- Fran, 24/10/2023 22:36, Travelled Solo

Lovely company, great crew members, lovely tour guide, good food, spotlessly clean cabin etc

- Susan, 17/10/2023 10:05, Travelled Solo

Ship was beautifully maintained. Spotlessly clean. Lovely food. Spacious, quiet cabin with air conditioning. Very kind, helpful tour leader - Mia. Friendly crew.

- Barbara , 03/10/2023 06:35, Travelled Solo

The people onboard were great. Everyone was lovely the Cabin was clean and comfortable with good air conditioning. The service was good at meal times Food was exceptional Tour rep was very informative in terms of history of the places

- Suzy , 08/08/2023 09:08, Travelled Solo

Absolutely loved everything about this trip on the magnificent and immaculate Queen Jolena . Captain Gordan and crew so professional and helpful . Boris our guide also so attentive to everything . Just a wonderful way to spend a holiday relaxing - eating lovely food - swimming in the sea every day from the boat which actually has a staircase to descend from making it so easy to go to swim . Stopping off at different ports to stunningly beautiful islands with great tours offered . I will do this kind of trip again for sure

- Andrea, 25/06/2023 21:33, Travelled Solo

Crew, small group experience & port cities were beautiful and unique from any other cruise I have been on All guests were engaged in having a great time and tour guide on board was super honest & knowledgeable on each city.. As a solo traveller I felt very safe and included in what I wanted to be involved in. When I was "peopled out" my cabin was very comfortable & quiet.. Will definitely recommend to friends & family..

- Lise, 30/05/2023 19:03, Travelled Solo

A very well designed cruise. The MS Esperanza was well built and designed with an excellent Captain and crew, hotel staff and guide. The Sail-Croatia staff were friendly, helpful and efficient

- Stephen, 13/10/2022 11:47, Travelled Solo

The Kraljica Jelena is a wonderful ship. The Croatian islands are so beautiful and full of history. The two combined with the experiences provided by Sail Croatia made for an amazing holiday.

- Anonymous, 15/09/2022 17:29, Travelled Solo

quality service and demeanour

- graham Smith, 07/09/2022 08:02, Travelled Solo

Travelled solo and loved every moment of the trip. The service, the guide, the down time, the tours and the picture perfect scenery the whole trip. All the other guests were fantastic too and made some great friends. This was my 2nd sail Croatia and there will be a third :D

- Luke, 30/08/2022 04:05, Travelled Solo

Roko is a lovely new luxury small ship (with air conditioning).. The crew were polite, skilful, helpful and friendly. Vedran, our Sail Croatia rep was knowledgeable, fun with a great sense of humour. The Croatian islands are absolutely beautiful. This was a fabulous holiday and one which I may well repeat.

- Robert, 28/08/2022 13:38, Travelled Solo

The Sail Croatia crew were very accommodating and friendly, they provided great service and experience throughout the sail. The Kraljica Jelena was very comfortable and provided what I though could be the best sailing experience through croatia

- Darren Cederman, 09/08/2022 07:43, Travelled Solo

Sailed on Roko with a wonderful group of people. We arrived as strangers, but the experience left us as friends. Mia, our host, was wonderful. She knows the sites and the country. She took care to be sure we had the best tour of Croatia. The captain and his entire crew were outstanding. Everything on the boat was clean, in tip-top shape and meant for our enjoyment. The cabins are well appointed and laid out for good use. Housekeeping made sure they stayed clean. The chef and dining staff prepared delicious meals, catering to special needs but always serving exquisite meals, evenid-morning baked goods. The bar was well equipped and the staff kept us well served. The crew was professional and paid attention to all duties, making sure we sailed safely and that our daily anchoring was a lot of fun. It was a delightful escape from a rushed and hurried life to a gracious escape in a beautiful country!

- Lynn, 03/06/2022 17:11, Travelled Solo

Just back from a fabulous week aboard Esperanza. The Crew of this ship made this holiday. The welcome, the spotless Cabin, the excellent food, and in particular the hospitality of Thommo and Boris meant that I had a perfect break. I met some great friends and found this to be a perfect holiday for a solo traveller. Croatia is an astonishingly beautiful country.

- Kirsteen , 19/10/2021 06:46, Travelled Solo

The discovery experience of the beautiful and historical Croatia aboard the Alfa Mario was simply a perfect combination. The staff, the guide were warm and always helpful. The swim stops were majestic. And the company of a small group of travelers, couples, families and solos like me, was a great way to get to know people around the world and make friends that I will cherish for a long time.

- Suzanne , 05/10/2021 05:25, Travelled Solo

I loved every minute of this cruise. The small ship experience is amazing in that you dock in places huge ships can’t access and even better you get to swim off the back of the boat from a swim platform every day . Our cruise director Ivana was simply brilliant- extremely competent and knowledgeable as well as personable and friendly . The Captains dinner was a real highlight for the food the music and a real pleasure chatting to Captain Drazen who had looked after us so safely for the previous week. I hope to return next year for another Sail Croatia cruise - the whole small ship experience has resales been a game changer in my thinking about cruises

- Andrea, 03/10/2021 20:30, Travelled Solo

Boat was nicely appointed and new. Rooms and bathrooms were much bigger than expected. Crew was wonderful and the crowd jelled fairly well. Breakfast was good but could have been a little more variety but the lunches were always multiple courses and very well done. Beautiful swim stops during the days and I liked being in a new port every afternoon. This was my first cruise like this and I would absolutley do it again.

- Cassandra, 25/09/2021 18:23, Travelled Solo

This was the maiden voyage of Roko and a first for me on small ship cruising as well as Croatia. Sail Croatia exceeded my expectations in every respect. The ship, the food, the crew, and the itinerary were first class . From Day One in Split to Day Seven in Dubrovnik the crew worked hard seeing to our comfort, safety and entertainment. I will be cruising again next year with Sail Croatia just because they do it right.

- Greg, 27/08/2021 02:44, Travelled Solo

Great trip , beautiful islands, lovely swim stops , comfortable Cabin. Great staff . The most outstanding staff were Ivana the excellent Tour manager and Tomas who seemed to do everything. Highly recommended

- Harley, 23/08/2021 12:34, Travelled Solo

This holiday is just THE BEST combination of relaxing/looking at the scenery/lying on a lounger/reading a book/enjoying a drink from the bar - to exploring the islands/walking/hiring bikes and socialising as much as you have the energy for - if you wish! The boat is of a very high standard and the crew do their very best to look after you - in the background!

- Jenny, 01/11/2019 21:27, Travelled Solo

This cruise was a first for me and I could not be happier with my experience from start to finishing. Your reservations staff were responsive and helpful from the moment I reached out with many questions about the trip. Once on board, the ship, the captain and his crew were absolutely first class in every regard. They bent over backward to ensure that every guest was well taken care of in every possible way. Lastly, our Sail Croatia host, Antonio is an absolute gem! His knowledge, professionalism, humor, and his genuine concern for each and every passenger was clearly evident and very much appreciated. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday!

- Judy, 09/10/2019 19:57, Travelled Solo

Traveling alone, I met a terrific group of people onboard the Kraljica Jelena who were accomplished, intelligent, funny, and kind. They welcomed me, a solo traveler, and the conversations were thoughtful and interesting. The crew was terrific, as well as our cruise director, Antonio. Great food, leisurely pace, awesome swimming in the sea -- I loved it all. Terrific voyage in September, south from Split. It was my second time in Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik, and I loved visiting new places, especially Korcula. Thanks so much for this fantastic week.

- Donna, 17/09/2019 20:56, Travelled Solo

Several things - The ship itself. Small but very roomy. Still able to have moments of quietness and relaxation without being overcrowded. The luxury and efficiency of the boat. I felt like a guest on a private yacht The crew. Their determination to ensure that everyone enjoyed the experience. I had personal doubts if my aging legs would allow be to reboard the boat after visiting the Blue Cave. I was assured byMateo and Andelko they would make sure I had no problems, and so I was able to visit the cave. I owe a lifetime experience to these two young sailors. There was so much, food, drink, the excursions, Vedran our ever helpful and informative guide. Lastly Croatia itself. One of the most beautiful coasts I have ever visited, and in my life I’ve seen a lot. A cruise I’ll always remember as one of the very best.

- Don, 20/08/2019 04:54, Travelled Solo

The ship was great, perfect size and number of people; good facilities, cabin good size and nice, attentive staff, very good meals/service. Most of the stops were excellent, especially the islands. Sitting on deck watching beautiful scenery go by was priceless. Loved them. Good combination of stops in small villages and larger towns/cities . A couple of the swim spots were fabulous, a couple of others not. Glad that some optional activities were arranged. (enjoyed buggy ride though more riding, less rest stop would have helped.--but that;s anther company).

- Hiram, 01/08/2019 12:09, Travelled Solo

The first cruise i went on in late june (North run)was so good had to do it again but (south run). The crew are just unbelievable they make you feel like your family. The cruise is magic the food, swim stops, beautiful islands just so good . The info and organization from the sail Croatia rep Boris was very helpful just made things so easy . Just like to thank the crew from the Esperanza can't wait for next year.

- Evan, 30/07/2019 17:06, Travelled Solo

Very happy with the organisation, management & communication made available to us passengers. Staff very professional and courteous at all times. Thank you

- MIRJANA , 10/07/2019 14:14, Travelled Solo

The food was great, The service was very efficient and friendly, Our fellow guests were good company. Vedran, the Sail Croatia rep, was most entertaining and went out of his way to make sure we had a very successful cruise. The swim stops in the Adriatic were a highlight for me.

- Richard , 06/07/2019 08:40, Travelled Solo

My product ? Don't understand, it wasn't my product!

- Frank, 08/05/2019 12:31, Travelled Solo

This cruise was amazing! Claire made the booking very easy and promptly answered all my questions. The instructions for finding the boat etc were precise. It’s a beautiful, well kept boat with larger rooms than I had expected. From the moment I arrived on the Romantic Star, I was well taken care of by the crew. Marco (waiter) made sure I had everything I needed every day. He and Tomos (waiter) were very attentive to our group and were a lot of fun. The meals we had on the ship were great and they accommodated various dietary restrictions. Vedran was our guide for the week and he was amazing! He is very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. He provided suggestions at each port and they were perfect. I will be recommending the Elegance Sail Croatia cruise to everyone that is visiting Croatia!

- Heather, 29/08/2018 07:43, Travelled Solo

I was on a journey to recover from the loss of someone very dear to me. The small ship, it’s crew from the captain to the people who serviced my cabin and all the passengers virtually adopted me! We began each day with cheerful/knowledgeable Mia telling us what to expect which always started with a swim off the back of the boat in some secluded cove. We entered beautiful old ports filled with history each day and then enjoyed each other’s company comparing experiences over a drink under the stars. I’ve made wonderful new friends and left the ship hoping some day to return. Yes - my version of an Elegant cruise - thank you!

- Vaughn, 21/08/2018 05:19, Travelled Solo

Had an amazing time with Elegance Premier Plus on M/S Olimp. The crew was very professional, friendly and we all had a fantastic time together. Sail Croatia's representative, Ana, made the trip very memorable. She and the entire Olimp crew was there for anything that I needed. Ana was especially helpful and went above and beyond in helping me with personal recommendations and organizing additional activities. As a single traveler, I was lucky to get my own room without paying extra. Definitely be on the lookout for last minute deals. I will definitely recommend everyone to cruise with Sail Croatia and when possible, request to be on board with Olimp!

- Asad, 29/05/2018 02:30, Travelled Solo

We had a great crew with a great cross section of passengers from around the world. Spacious spotless cabins and a crew director that was informative of the history and places to see. Look forward to returning asap! Consider this trip one of my lifetime best memories:)

- Patrick, 25/05/2018 18:04, Travelled Solo

We sailed Split to Dubrovnik on Esperanza - a lovely boat. I had a spacious above deck cabin with a well sized bathroom with a fabulous shower with adjustable power settings. (Note - although hairdryers are in the bathrooms, they are the on the wall type - maybe take your own if you have hair like mine that takes forever to dry!!) Good selection of food at breakfast and a lovely three course lunch every day. Mia, our fabulous crew manager delivered a briefing every lunchtime on the island we were about to come into and gave a heads-up for the following days island and activities available. Ivana kept our cabins immaculate and Tomo looked after us all very well both in the saloon and at the bar. . I went on the cruise alone but it was like being at a very nice house party! Can't wait to try another Sail Croatia itinerary.

- Mel, 11/05/2018 10:38, Travelled Solo

I was on the Elegance Cruise on the Romantic Star (Which was a stunning modern ship). I highly recommend the excursions especially Buggying and Water rafting (You'll certainly come back with great stories). As a 18 year old solo traveller the elegance cruise was phenomenal and I made great connections with people I was on board with.The crew were exemplary and the food was faultless.

- MWITUMWA, 27/10/2017 07:44, Travelled Solo

There are several elements that when combined, make a 'great holiday'. These include, the places you visit, the people you meet and the service you receive from those employed in the tourist industry. Let's start with the crew of the fabulous cruise ship, Olimp. Their commitment to ensuring we had a great time was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Our cruise Director Mia did an outstanding job and was always there for us. Her enthusiasm was contagious. What an generous person and such an asset to Sail Croatia. My fellow passengers where just great. Fun loving, energetic, passionate and easy to be with. It was like a mini United Nations with any conflict. I am confident some friendships will last a lifetime. Our destinations in Croatia were all gems. Such unspoiled beauty, friendly locals and some of the most incredible architecture one could hope to see. Sail Croatia was easy to do business with and I would do this cruise again, in a heart beat. My sincere thanks to everyone.

- Peter, 17/10/2017 08:52, Travelled Solo

Everything was great! From the crew to the experience.

- Sandra, 17/10/2017 05:17, Travelled Solo

Seven years ago I had to stop drinking. In an offhand remark to two deckhands as I embarked for my seven-day cruise on Sail Croatia's MV Olimp, i said, "I suppose the bar doesn't stock no-alcohol beer" (Yes, it exists.) "No, but we'll get you some," they replied. And they did. This is just one example of the many ways, big and little, in which our crew and cruise director Mario made our Elegance holiday - incidentally, my 75th birthday present to me - magnificent and memorable. Great service, a sparkling spick-n-span ship and the glorious scenery of the Dalmatian islands made this the cruise of a lifetime. Top marks, Sail Croatia. Highly recommended.

- Hugh, 10/10/2017 05:17, Travelled Solo

I just completed my first Sail Croatia cruise. I enjoyed it immensely. Staff were amazing. They were very eager to please without being in your face. For such a young man, Rinalto was amazingly attentive & very polite to every passenger on board. It was nice to see that the crew were actually enjoying our company. I loved that Sail Croatia offered Twin Share option, meaning that I did not have to pay the single supplement. I was paired with a lovely lady, a bit older than myself, but not by much. We actually got along very well and there were absolutely no problems in the shared arrangement. My only negatives were that the hot tub was not ready for use till the second day, but I used it every day after that. Definitely needed a second mirror in the bedroom, as the only mirror was in the bathroom. I think a Sail and swipe card system, or similar, should be employed for the bar tab. Too much room for error with the current system. Even a signed receipt for each purchase, would work.

- Caroline, 03/10/2017 07:51, Travelled Solo

The Elegance cruise was fabulous. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable, They days were arranged such that you could maximize relaxing in the morning when the boat cruises, and then make your own adventure once you reach the port. The boat was the perfect size, not so small there is lots of rocking, and not so big that you have to trek a while to get from your room to the sun deck. I can't imagine enjoying the islands in a more relaxing way. I recommend this highly.

- Anonymous, 05/09/2017 04:59, Travelled Solo

Great scenery, staff and company. The sea water was pristine, perfect to swim in. Food was excellent as we're the restaurants the group visited at night. The other passengers on the cruise were friendly and we intermingled well. The ship was very clean and looked new.

- Joy, 20/06/2017 06:08, Travelled Solo

Cruise host Mia was very attentive and hospitable. The whole crew were professional and friendly. Good food and service. Fellow passengers got along very well and we had lots of laughs.
