TESTIMONIALS
“Best services and super friendly staff throughout my trip to Greece in July.
everyone on board so helpful and the cruise very clean and the food is outstanding. looking into booking it again for 2024.” - Anthony L
“Incredible experience under all aspects : the service was excellent and the food was so fresh and authentic (living the real greek dream). The route through the islands was planned with criteria and included both historical & relaxing experience. What you can see from the water you could never experience from the land: have seen the best sunsets and sunrises of my life. You would never get disappointed by Variety Cruises anywhere in the world.”
