A lovely experience...

5.00A lovely experience across three beautiful Greek islands. Worth the money but can get tiring, so plan accordingly.
Great was to see islands.

5.00Not a fan of the rap music played on the boat (lots of b and n words). Crew was EXCELLENT. Very well organized. Hydra was the best! Would have liked more time there- actual things to do (the others are seasonal)
Glorified Timeshare Vibes

3.00The journey was smooth however, this cruise felt like a timeshare presentation trying to get you to buy add on tours at the stops and pay for a forced souvenir photo. There was very little time to spend at each stop, much less than advertised in the itinerary, and at the one location where they didn't have an add on paid option (Poros), you only got 30 minutes to spend there even though an hour is advertised. The food was not a traditional Greek meal whatsoever. This definitely was an interesting experience but not worth the price. Next time, I would just ferry to one of the islands to send more time. Additionally, they don't tell you the transfer times until much later, our transfer ended up being at 6:30 AM but 7 AM was advertised.

1.00Don’t waste your $, I paid for an excursion to Aegina, Poros and Hydra islands and only saw 2, I expect 1/3 refund or I’ll dispute this on my credit card.
Needs improvement for guest safety

4.00Great experience except for their lack of concern for guest safety getting back to their hotel. Island’s were great, however be aware there is no internet at the docks so we had trouble using an app to get a taxi and the tour company was horrible about helping us. There was a bus that was available and we were willing to pay for it but the tour operator would not let us on because we didn’t “prearrange the transfer”. We got a taxi there because we had Internet at the hotel and I didn’t even think about not having Internet at the dock. The bus was only half full so there was room and we were willing to pay for the transfer however they refused to let us on the bus. The marina is very dark and sketchy so we were very disappointed with the lack of concern for guest safety. They really need to improve in this aspect of the guest experience.
Magic

5.00Such a magical experience from sunrise to sunset. Being on the boat was pleasant experience (smooth scenic ride, great service, the right amount of totally avoidable entertainment, not overcrowded at least in November). All three ports were picturesque with lots within walking distance. We skipped the tour upgrades and had plenty to do without feeling rushed. Best shopping was on Hydra, and there is both time and options for dinner on the last stop to Aegina. Everything was timely and well organized (assuming you read and follow the basic instructions they send which apparently doesn’t consistently happen based on reading these other reviews). Thought I’d be tuckered out at the end of the day, but I’ve got the energy to write this review. Highly recommend!
Long day, but to see islands.

4.00This was a great tour to see all three different islands and the differences. They will upsell you some tours when on the boat in the islands. I suggest doing them otherwise you will be stuck just seeing what you can. Unfortunately this does not come with the cost and I think should be all included. The boat ride is very long to all of the places. They try to do a good job breaking it up with lunch, music and dancing, but the music was extremely loud.
Best day ever.

5.00This cruise was value packed. The staff were attentive from the hotel transfer right the way through the whole trip. We love stopping at the Islands and the tour options. It is a day I will never forget. Brilliant from start to finish. We are coming back from Australia to do it again!!
Good Addition to an Itinerary
Stan R,,Nov 2, 2025
- Review from Viator
4.00The cruise is a good addition for travelers with limited time in Athens. Best plan is to enjoy free-time at each stop vs other options—the extra-cost cultural excursion on Aegina was not a good value, in our view. The sales pitch made it sound as if there was nothing accessible at Aegina apart from purchasing an excursion. This was not the case. On the upside, the islands had their own charm, and the cruise staff was very good, with good energy and kindness. To pass the cruise time, being with friends is best or bring a book or card game!
Take a different tour

1.00Too many people, not enough time on any of the islands, and the format is tired. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
