About Us

In everything we do, everywhere we go, we stir the senses and explore new experiences together. Cruising the Mediterranean, visiting both iconic destinations and some so intimate that no other cruises can go there, we take you to a special place inside yourself to call your own. This is your journey. Your freedom to choose. Your epic Greek adventure.
 

GREEK CRUISING THE GREEK WAY

We’re the number one choice for travelers to the Greek Islands and Mediterranean – a fact we love to share!

Our guests tell us it’s because we offer the only genuine Greek cruising experience. Passionate hospitality, intricate local knowledge, and the life-affirming spirit of adventure.

Our awards tell a similar story, with over 60 wins in 7 years. From ‘Platinum Guest Experience’ to ‘Best Itinerary’, we’re proud of them all. And we’re especially humbled by our first prize for ‘Cruise Line with the Greatest Commitment to the East Med Region’.

GIVING BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY

From launching programs in education, welfare and youth entrepreneurship, to making sustainability commitments and pioneering ethical business practices, we try to do our part.

‘Journey to Knowledge’ is one of the programs we’re most proud of. We bring interactive exhibits from the Heraklion Museum in Athens to remote areas on the Greek Islands. Since 2015 we’ve worked, learned and laughed with around 2000 students from Milos, Patmos, Samos and Ios.

 

CERTIFIED FOR CONSISTENT QUALITY

All our office and ship management operations, from crew to hotel to technical, are certified by DNV, the biggest and most respected rating agency in the marine industry.

We’re rated in accordance with ISO 9001/14001 standards, which relates to quality and the environment. So you can cruise the Greek Islands and East Mediterranean with peace of mind.
