Friendly! - Pretty friendly excursion, excellent meal the visit to the island is to be made but the price of admission (20 euros) is excessive. Swimming top in turquoise waters we enjoyed this beautiful day in love.

Experience so.... - I was not particularly satisfied but it does not depend on the organization but the time. The wind was really something unsustainable and difficult to manage on the island. After 1h and a half to spinalonga where it was impossible to get close to the water so only ride through ruins and also fast for the wind we all returned by boat to make the next stop in a bay with beautiful and pleasant water but where we were barely half an hour. Lunch on a good boat but the feeling is to have been more by boat more. I suggest you carefully evaluate the weather and the stay in the bay must be longer.

Informative visit to Spinalonga - An informative trip to Spinalonga and just the right amount of time. Given 4 stars because the food was not a BBQ as promised and veggie option was odd However I would recommend the trip as kobg as you are not planning to eat.

Have a good day! - Good experience, to do! The day is very well organized, the time to visit the island is ideal. The outward journey is animated by explanations, a pity none of the information even that of the most important as the return times on board have been available in French. The swimming was nice, the place is beautiful, the color of the water sublime. The meal was delicious, very hearty and very tender meat. Just remember to include in your budget the ticket price for the visit of the island.

Boat ride was lovely, even though everything else wasn’t - The ride its self was lovely.You couldn’t understand the speaker due to poor quality of the sound systems. When setting onto Spinalonga, it seemed ridiculous that we should have to pay for an additional ticket to enter the island, whereas most tour companies include those in their prices. Next stop was the beach. If you are over the age of 60, I would recommend staying on the boat. In order to reach the small sandy area, you need to climb over a series of dangerous and slippery rocks. My poor 70 year old mother needed significant help in order to reach the shoreline. And hauled back up the rocks to the ship. Little did we know that on the other side of the ship, there was a less treacherous beach. Once again there was a lack of communication, where the staff should’ve warned the passengers and directed them toward the safer beach. For lunch, once again there was little to no communication offered. The people on the top deck had to go to the lower level to get their lunch and carry it back up to their seats. Carrying those drinks and plates was rough in those tiny stairwells. The least the crew could’ve done was offer the buffet on the top deck as well. Don’t bother with this cruise line, they don’t know how to take care of their guests.
