Variety Cruises: Enjoy Yachting on Greek Island Cruises, Aegean Cruises, Adriatic Cruises & Red Sea Cruises

Catering to small groups of from 35 to 50 passengers, you'll enjoy a slower pace where you overnight in ports and have plenty of time to discover each magical destination. Swim, canoe or snorkel right off the ship at idyllic beach locations.

Savor Mediterranean cuisine served in the dining room in a single seating, or on deck al fresco. Most yachts also features a bar lounge, sun deck, mini spa, and swimming platform.

Cabins are 135-feet on average, with either double-bed or twin-beds, flat screen TVs, DVD players, music channels, mini frideges, hairdryers and A/C. All cabins have large windows and en suite bathrooms with private shower.

We can also arrange a crewed boat for you, with a fully customized itinerary. There are a variety of boats and yachts available, based on the number of passengers in your group, and we work with a well-established third-generation family company headquartered in Greece in coordinating all the arrangements.

If your party is too small for you to charter a sailing yacht, or the cost to steep, you can still enjoy a one-week Greek Isles cruise on a 4-cabin, 8-passenger, 51-foot sailing yacht. You can book just one or up to four cabins on a one-week scheduled sailing operating May through October, and share the boat.

Each day includes four to seven hours of sailing with a swim stop and lunch. Overnghts are always in port to enjoy local tavernas. Explore a new island, new beach, new harbor and new places to explore each day. While cabins are small, all are comfortable with private showers and toilet, a double bed or double plus pullman bed. Rates from about $1,200 per person based on double occupancy, plus port charges.
