Dear Cliff, thank you so much for your kind words. Sea you soon!

“London office responsive, helpful and effective. Pegasus crew could not have been more friendly and attentive. The naturalist was knowledgeable and well organised, and his trips very successful. All in all a brilliant holiday.”

Dear Val, thank you so much. Sea you soon!

“We have travelled with variety many times and cruised on the Harmony G in June 2021. Even allowing for covid it was very sad that this trip failed to meet the high standards of all previous trips. The boat is extremely tired, in poor repair and in places dirty. The food was absolutely not up to the quality of previous trips. The crew, cruise director and captain etc were all excellent and did a good job and given we have had so many great trips I wanted to provide the feedback direct. Whilst their initial response was prompt and they suggested they would revert I’m posting this now as I haven’t heard back which makes more wondered if they have chosen to ignore it”

“I had to cancel a reservation for a trip 8 months in advance of travel. The trip was cancelled on June 18 2019 ( cruise was for 22 FEB 20) I was advised that they would refund the deposit of Euro 400. I have supplied all bank details. However,I have sent follow up emails enquiring about the refund but they all go unanswered. So it appears that the funds are now lost - Anne Weldon Martin”

“Well informed itinerary each day, safety first. Great meals, met lots of different nationalitys”

Helpful Report

“It was a good, clean ship with nice food and clear information about the daily activities.”

Helpful Report

“Our cruise was very pleasant. We rate the staff and all facilities very highly. Despite there being a change in plans due to very bad weather in the main channel, we all happily accepted the Captain's advise and made the best of the change in destinations. Everyone was very courteous and happy, the tour guide Stella was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble for her and her knowledge of English and information that she gave us on the islands and their archaeological sites was second to none. Well done Variety Cruises !!!”

Helpful Report

“We had an excellent cruise director -- Joseph -- who was extremely accommodating and a wonderful tour guide on our excursions. The staff was great. The food was good and plentiful, including options for us vegetarians. Our ship, the Harmony G was very comfortable. I would recommend the trip to others.”

Helpful Report

“We cruised the Cyclades on the Harmony G, June 14-21 and loved every minute of our time. We were very lucky to have beautiful weather and calm seas. We thoroughly enjoyed the historical sites we visited and all the ports of call. We also met lots of friendly fellow travellers and will keep in touch with some of them. Jospeh is a wonderful cruise director, knowledgeable and passionate about his country. All of the crew were helpful and friendly.”

“We are already dreaming of another trip as our first vacation was wonderful. We have recommended Variety Cruises to friends too!”

Helpful Report

“The make up of the cruise visiting the Islands was good. The crew were excellent, so was the food The BBQ on shore, the meats were cold as they had been cooked elsewhere. There were BBQs on site so the meats could have been cooked fresh (there was enough time and other tour operators were doing it) The ship furnishings were a bit dated and could do with up grading. Otherwise most enjoyable”

Helpful Report

“We had a great time with excellent food , companions and daily landings that allowed walking and climbing to sights.”
