“HarmonyV classic greese”

“My experience aboard the Harmony V, Classical Greece tour was amazing. The service and the activities on board, the excursions on shore and the new friendships created, made for an unforgettable holiday. On this holiday, I was able to relax and have many laughs, learn about a new culture and its history and experience new activities....what more can one ask for!? Thank you so much to the Variety Cruise Team! My family and I are already planning another journey aboard your wonderful ships”

“Classical Greece. Excellent crew, meals and excursions. Beds in room very comfortable but should have been a bit higher off the floor to accommodate luggage storage during trip. In addition, bathroom had all necessary amenities, but shower did not drain properly because the drain was located on the opposite side that the boat listed constantly. Had to turn water on and off constantly during shower to prevent overflow. Would recommend this trip to others, but also recommend some maintenance updating of ship.”

“We were on the Harmony V for a cruise around the Greek islands. It was a beautiful trip and the crew was very accommodating. I am looking forward to cruising with Variety again in the future and have already recommended it to family and friends.”

“We received a friendly and professional welcome when we arrived at the Galilieo, this was maintained throughout the whole of the cruise. All the staff were excellent, food very good and the excursions well worth taking. It's worth mentioning that the tour guides, especially in Athens and Delos were exceptional - informative and entertaining. Would recommend your holidays to other holidaymakers. Only slightly annoying item, which I would guess is out of your control, is that the air conditioning in the cabin at night was loud, we ended up using ear plugs - but overall stays the same - excellent.”

“I had a chance to experience a great Seychelles trip on Pegasos board. For all my family it was a really wonderful trip! Especially we appreciated the award winning cuisine and a possibility to see lot of islands in just one week. The crew was extremely friendly and nice! Overall, we had an amazing week with Variety Cruises. Keep going!”

“We traveled on the Galileo, August 2-9, 2014 and it was, by far, the best family vacation we've ever taken. The ship was comfortable, the food was delicious and plentiful, the crew was awesome -- everything was just perfect! Each island we visited was beautiful and different. The swim stops were an added bonus. I really can't say enough wonderful things about it. We were so sad when the cruise ended. Thank you!!!!”

“Encircling the Cyclades on MS Galileo. This was a thoroughly enjoyable trip around the Cyclades, the balance of activity and time to relax suited us very well. The visits to Delos, Santorini ( including Akrotiri ) and Paros were excellent lead by personable knowledgable guides well worth doing. All the crew and hospitality staff and the tour co- ordinator were first class as was the food I really couldn't fault it”

“Our Classical Greek cruise on board the Harmony V was a wonderful experience, especially being a smaller boat carrying 50 passengers. The crew were very dedicated to making our experience of small boat cruising an everlasting memory. The cabins were spacious and well fitted out. Altogether, a beautiful boat. Joseph, our cruise director was excellent - very well organised and very knowledgeable with the history of every place visited explained and; his helpful hints of places to visit after his orientation walks of the various islands was most helpful, including a good variety/choice of on shore restaurants to dine in. We enjoyed the daily newsletters and also Joseph and the Captain kept us very well informed as to weather conditions and what to expect, especially during the days when a decision needed to be made not to proceed to Crete. Thank you for keeping us safe. This was the first Variety Cruise we had been on and would recommend this particular cruise to anyone considering cruising the Greek Islands.

“While we've been of many cruises in the past (US, South Pacific, Mediterranean, etc...) We were very impressed with the dedication of the crew, the quality of the rooms, food, and the sites. While the cruise package is advertised for adults, my 2 children (6 & 8 years old) really had a blast and are longing for another such cruise. Since travelling with Variety Cruises, we have decided not to go on large cruises (i.e. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, MSC) that have over 2000+ people on board. The cosy atmosphere of a smaller cruise ship like what Variety Cruises offers is much more convivial.”

“I spent a week in heaven on the Panoram a II Aegean Odyssey. We visited a different port each day, including Mykonos, Santorini and Kusadasi, Turkey and several others. It was an enriching, interesting, FUN and, importantly, TASTY experience. The crew on board the Panorama II were excellent. The food was amazing. The fellow guests were fast friends. And the destinations were all beautiful!”

“We returned recently from the Classical Greece Cruise of the beautiful Greek Islands on board the Harmony V. We loved out cruise, we loved exploring the islands, usually under our own steam, exploring. The food and service on board the boat were fantastic. The only downside I suppose would have been that our cabin was quite small, being right up the front of the ship and one other thing we found kind of annoying was the loudness of the anchor going up and down! It was particularly loud in our cabin being located so close to it! Other than these things, we really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend it to our friends and family.”

“Greek Islands - Harmony V - July '14. A truly wonderful small boat cruise experience; great destinations, very relaxed itinerary and swimming from the boat along the way is what small boat cruising is all about. Really fantastic crew too!”

Thank you for your comments. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your Small Ship cruise experience so much. We are particularly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the selection of the Ports of Call visited and that everyone from the crew on board has been so attentive. Last but not least, it is true that one of the best things in small ship cruising in Greece is that your pool is actually the Aegean Sea! We wish to welcome you back on board with us soon. Best wishes, The Variety Cruises Team
