It was a very disappointing. There were so many people and they tried to upsell everything from VIP lounge to more excursions from the boat. The food was terrible no flavor. Drinks were expensive

In the one day Cruise we did not get any thing , no food , no tour and we paid 508 dollars for 2 persons
I tried to catch the operator and they try to help us in the boat and they couldn’t get contact with the operator
I try to refund 50% because the trip was as a transport between the Islands

For us we loved this day! It was a relaxing break. The water was smooth and the weather amazing. There are several decks, We were on last and a little disappointed we didn’t get the top, but as we found out quickly, it was much warmer on the lower level. We also got to have a nice cup of coffee and it was not crowded at all on that deck. Sat back and relaxed. Each island has something unique about it to offer, but our first island was Poros and not much time there at all. I would definitely choose more time on two islands, but Poros is charming in itself. On our way to Hydra, they served us lunch, which was very decent. Aegina is where you get the pistachios and that is so worth it. We got back a little early, to the boat and secured a spot on the top deck and were very glad that we did because we had perfect seating for the entertainment. The Greek dancers were a lot of fun. The DJ guy was so fun. We really did enjoy ourselves and the ability to relax in between each island. You do not have a ton of time on the islands so if that is what you were looking for, I would suggest going there directly. I was disappointed in reading some of the reviews before this trip, but I honestly feel like some people just have some expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

I saw lots of negative reviews so I was concerned and considered canceling but so glad I didn't! I had a wonderful time. The food, drinks and entertainment in ship were better than expected. Lots of options to buy additional food if desired. I would consider looking into the upgrades to business or first class but I don't know those options existed until after departure. Get there early to get good seating but lots of options on deck and below. They sell excursions (avg €25) and I enjoyed the walking tour of Hydra and the swimming. Bring bathing suit and towel if interested in swimming. Also bring book or media (and portable phone charger) most of the time is spent on ship. It was 14 hrs door to door with bus pickup/drop off but I was also the first/last stops. Total time on all 3 islands was only about 4 hrs.

The boat ride took longer than we expected, but I can’t remember if I originally saw the estimated time of 3 hours to get to the 1st island or not, so I won’t ding that. The 1st island was nice, we did a walking tour. However, we got stuck on the top sun deck and it took 25 minutes to get off the boat because of all the people. Our tour had already left us. They had someone waiting for us and we had to basically run to catch up with the group. This was not great. It was very hot and we missed a lot of the beginning of the tour. When we finally caught up, the tour guide made a snide comment about needing to keep up with the group. The 2nd island was a waste of time. We had 30 minutes is all. By the time everyone got off the boat we only had about 10 minutes. The 3rd island was nice. We did a bus tour. Lunch was adequate. The boat was way over crowded. You couldn’t move around and there weren’t enough seats for everyone.

The cruise was okay exactly what it said it would be...
Here are some suggestions

1. Bring snacks - at $4.5 euro a.coffee and basic at best snacks for $10 it got expensive quick - every stop is a souvenirs grab but I hope most people understand that

Make sure to bring sunscreen and a towel or a jacket
First thing in the morning is cool

The islands were.beautiful and it eas a nice way to get out on the ocean and away from the bustle of the city

It was hard to eat the lunch if you didn't already have a table

The food served after the first stop (Hydra) was delicious so don't buy food on Hydra. there are not enough tables to chairs- you need to be forward and sit with strangers.. this is fine! Make a new friend

This was one of the worst experiences of our vacation. We were packed into a old boat of about 600 people for a hour ride to Hydra. Sitting outside was very windy and inside was cramped. Not a comfortable ride.

We were given 1 hour on Hydra, that included the time to get off and on the boat. Maybe 20 Minutes for a photo on POROS and 1.5 hour on Aegina. We spent more time on the diesel smelling boat than on land. Very disappointing.
We had to purchase water, and the lunch was served cold. It was suppose to be hot. Unless you purchase the VIP package this is not a beautiful, comfortable cruise.

The tour was very well organized from pickup in the morning to drop off that evening. Very long time on the boat. Would have preferred to go to only two islands to have more time to explore. Hydra and Poros were our favorite but spent the least amount of time at both. Tour staff were very nice and was surprised that our lunch was as good as it was.

This tour gave us a fabulous taste of the history and beauty of the Greek isles. With only a short time in the area, this was time and money well spent. Tour guides were fun and knowledgeable. Special shoutout to Spiros on board the ship for taking an extra interest in assuring we found great seats, had everything we needed, and for recommending the best things to see, eat, and do on each island. He truly made the trip over the top excellent.
