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.

It's ok

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.

First up, Ana, our guide, was top notch and probably the best guide I've had on any trip. She provided comprehensive maps at each stop of good restaurants, museums, attractions and bars, carried herself very professionally, and was always polite and informative. She is an asset for Sail Croatia. The staff, were also brilliant. Particularly Branko on the bar. You want your bar staff to be funny, eccentric and great to have a conversation with, and Branko exceeded expectations on all three! The food was also impeccable. The Explorer cruise was also a very good crowd. Perhaps slightly older and more couples than I expected, but it suited me well. The only parts where Sail Croatia fell short for me was some of the experiences. Not having an alternative option instead of rafting (which was unavailable in Makarska on my trip) was disappointing. Even a short walk along the Cetina would have been OK. The Korcula buggy tour was also short and expensive for what it was.

The food at lunch should be lighter and healthier.; not pasta and risotto. Sandwiches, salads, roasted vegetables, wraps, would be better. We don’t need dessert. Coffee needs to be out during the morning for longer that one hour. Keep coffee out until 11:00 AM. Happy Hour from 6-7. Drinks at bar poor quality. Quality of cabin was not great. I wasn’t expecting much, but the handle was off my drawer in the bathroom & bed and pillow VERY uncomfortable. I DID enjoy my trip as there was more to enjoy than these things and had a great time. Thank you.

The boat was clean and very comfortable The bar crew were super friendly and the service was excellent. The food I found was not good, too heavy and over cooked. A lunch buffet would have been so much better similar to breakfast, greasy and light. Klara our guide was great, super friendly and always there for you. My only suggestion would be some more activities especially for the solo traveller. Some days were same same. I found in Split we were left with no guidance or suggestions on what we could do while waiting for our late afternoon plane departure Thanks Sail Croatia and Klara

Overall, I had a very lovely time and the Adriatic sea is beautiful. The highlight of the trip was our tour manager named Ivana. She was excellent, was giving great and truthful advice, and even helped me book my taxi to the airport. Without her, my trip would not have been as good. The captain was also very friendly and helpful! The boat was also in good condition and the sundeck was my highlight. The crew kept us safe and were very mindful that we always had water and electricity (a task in itself when we are sailing every day and the docks were extra busy during peak season). The food and cleanliness was ok. Given the price and the overall experience, I had a really great time and would recommend to others.

The crew, the boat, the quality of food was amazing. The itinerary was incredible the tours well planned however I booked a Game of thrones cruise and that was not delivered. The Cruise manager Ivana was awesome and she tried to solve it. But I expected more if you are selling a GOT cruise. Nobody on the boat was aware of this. Not the guests nor the crew.

- Daniela, 29/08/2022 02:31, Travelled Solo

Ivan, our tour guide and the crew on board were amazing! Ivan's knowledge of his country and the history is superb, matched by his friendly nature. It was such a great opportunity to visit multiple places in style and make new friends along the way. The week was quite busy but you get to pick and choose what you want to do each day. I recommend staying an extra day in Dubrovnik to ensure you have enough time for activities and exploring. My lower deck room could become quite cold and the rooms don't have great ventilation for drying items, so pack more than recommended on the website. I'd do it all over again, thank you Sail Croatia!

The Almissa was immaculate, cabins were basic but extremely comfortable with a superb shower. All the staff worked hard and long hours including the tour managers. They were always polite well mannerd but also fun. We had daily informative briefings about our next stop and the captain always managed to find the most beautiful swim stops in the morning. We were well fed at breakfast and dinner time, breakfast was a buffet, lunch was 3 courses and we experienced some super delicious dishes.. There was always someone at hand to answer any queries either on the ship or off the ship via a wassap group. All in all i 100% enjoyed this cruise and would do it again in a heartbeat. I went as a solo female traveller of 53 which i was very nervous about to begin with but all my fears were soon put to rest, there was a varied range of ages and everybody just got on with everyone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Explorer/Excursions: was disappointed by the lack of excursions and exploring on the explorer cruise. On board we did a lot of relaxing and cruising so I anticipated action packed land adventures. This trip fell flat. The 1 to 2 excursion I did I really enjoyed. Hora wine tasting (great local place with the sweetest donkeys) and biking in Mljet Meals: I am a pescatarian (no meat, only seafood). I was served seabream-4-5 lunches in a row. I mentioned to the guide I'd like more variety, the next lunch I again received seabream. After that I mentioned to the head crew member I'd like to eat something other than seabream. Then I finally I had a change to tuna. The next meal seabass. The guide also had dietary restrictions and made a huge fuss in front of our entire table when given something she didn't eat. My final meal aboard was back to seabream with a side of peppers; meanwhile the guide had a overwhelming portion of gnocchi and peppers.

The boat and crew were fantastic, but unfortunately I was quite disappointed with the age group of travellers on board. There were a large number of older travellers when I was hoping to mix and mingle with travellers around the same age in the 20-40 age group. The trip is marked for couples, young professionals, young at heart. Unfortunately there were too many 'young at heart' and couples on board for my liking. I would recommend doing a Navigator cruise instead with a Premier boat. On the plus side our guide Ivana was amazing and we had a Sail Croatia photographer with us for the week (still waiting for the pictures though which are overdue),

Travelling solo in mid-Sep 2017 on the return Split route on Premier Plus. Pros: Friendly crew and fellow passengers, great food (3-course lunches everyday), comfortable bedrooms with daily housekeeping service, Nice sunbathing area when the weather is good and swim stops. Also it's great to be able to explore the different places in Croatia without lugging around your luggage! Cons: We were very reliant on the weather - when the weather is bad, there is nothing you can do on the boat other than catching up on your books, napping etc. Also, my biggest sore point is we spent way too long on the boat vs on land. For example we only had one afternoon and the evening in Dubrovnik (leaving first thing the next morning!), one of the biggest attraction of Croatia! That is definitely not enough and I wonder how the schedules were arranged. All in all, lovely trip but not for those who really want to explore each place.

What a fantastic experience, a great mix of adventure and total relaxation. Our guide Petar was exceptional, so friendly and knowledgeable.

- Viyanna, 28/08/2017 00:42, Travelled Solo

Explorer option will sail croatia was great! Able to make friends easily as it wasn't party party party all the time like other boats. Had a great time and probably still drank too much but never missed breakfast which is a good sign. Was disappointed that our original boat was not finished in time and we got downgraded and after seeing the model we were meant be on at one of the dock was disappointed in the amount refunded as there was a significant difference in boats. However, the staff we had on Almissa were absolutely amazing!!!! Ana, Ivan, Parvo and the team made sure we had a great time and we were given all the knowledge of local spots to go with some fantastic history thrown in. Would definitely do it again!

As a solo traveler you never know what kind of experience you will have or people you will meet. My fellow passengers were welcome and inviting, they made it easy for a solo traveller to fit in! The cruise exceeded my expectations in terms of cabins and food, it was very high end for the price. I do wish that breakfast was later, it was hard to get up some mornings to make breakfast but if you did not make it, you waited until 1 for lunch. A midmorning snake would have been great! I know ports had restrictions on times we could dock, I wouldh have liked however either water taxis for those that wanted to go earlier or onboard activites to help pass the time, their was a lot of down time and swim stops. I know that is what you do on a cruise but for me, I would\'ve liked more time on shore. I will definately recommend Sail Croatia to solo travelers and friends as an unforgettable experience, I hope to join you again one day for another Croatian adventure! Shout out to the crew, amazing!!

When I first walked onto the boat and checked out our cabins, I literally thought I'd hit the jackpot. Was so super stoked with the size of the rooms and the cruiser in general! The whole trip is chilled but we had a few fun party nights and there are activities/ excursions to do each day which cost but worth it if it's something you like. I did the wine tasting and it was so nice :) I highly recommend the Wednesday departure from split to split as you are on a different route to the navigator boats. The food was also way above my expectations. Maya (our host) was amazing and knowledgable and came out for drinks a few nights too. The sail Croatia recommendations for restaurants/ bars etc are not the best, so I would do your own research rather than skimp out for small discounts/ free dessert etc. Age ranges from mid twenties to sixties also, which made things really fun!

The islands, Dubrovnik and Anna.

- David, 20/06/2016 06:18, Travelled Solo

After touring around parts of Europe for 4 weeks, we needed a rest, so glad we chose Sail Croatia. Not only was it relaxing but we got to see a lot of Croatia's coastline and islands. We had a lovely host Ivana who was very knowledgeable and was always there if there were any questions., we had several swim stops and plenty of time to explore the islands. Breakfast and lunch were included and the cabins were comfortable, only thing I wish we'd had an above deck cabin., not a lower deck cabin. Apart from that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend Sail Croatia as a holiday getaway.
