“Just returned from an amazing Seychelles cruise with Variety Cruises, and it was an experience to remember! Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the service was beyond expectations. Captain Ehab and his crew were fantastic—professional, welcoming, and always ensuring a smooth and safe journey. From the moment we stepped onboard, we felt well taken care of. Safety was clearly a priority, yet everything was handled so seamlessly that we could just relax and enjoy. The food was exceptional! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, offering a perfect mix of local and international cuisine. The chef and the team made sure every dish was not just delicious but also presented with care. The swim stops were unreal—hidden beaches, turquoise waters, and incredible snorkeling spots. Every location felt carefully selected to showcase the best of the Seychelles. A big shoutout to the housekeeping team for maintaining an incredibly high standard of cleanliness. Cabins were refreshed twice a week, always spotless and inviting. This cruise was an absolute dream—personalized, luxurious, and filled with unforgettable moments. A huge thank you to the entire Variety Cruises team for making this such a special experience!”

“The smallness of Variety Cruises allows one to get to know everyone on board. You get to know the crew and the ship can go places larger vessels can not. Our last cruise on Variety, there were 15 passesngers on a 40 passenger ship. It was lovely. We had room to move around and lots of personal attention,”

“Just returned from our Greek Isles cruise aboard the Panorama. What a fabulous experience! From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by our amazing cruise director Ully and Captain Andreas we could tell this trip was going to be special. Socializing and enjoying this adventure with a wonderful mix of fellow passengers added to an unforgettable vacation. The entire crew were friendly and attentive and we couldn't ask for anything more. Swimming at private beaches or off the ship was a real treat. All the ports beautiful and with Ully in charge we could relax and enjoy all the sights and local history. We can't wait to sail again on a Variety cruise!!”

“L'organisation, les services à bord et l'équipage ont été parfaits ... tout particulièrement, l'hôtel manager et sans oublier la coordinatrice des excursions qui a été formidable. Cependant, une petit commentaire sur un groupe d'une quinzaine de personnes qui nous ont donné l'impression que c'était leur croisière privée et qui se sont permis de nous diriger même un peu !!! Je pense qu'il serait plus judicieux par rapport aux croisiéristes individuels de ne pas accepter de groupes importants en même temps !!!”

“If you don’t like the thought of a cruise - think again. With a smaller cruise liner, I experienced all the service benefits of a top hotel - food was fantastic, crew couldn’t do enough to ensure an entertaining time, activities were tailored to the 18 passengers ( who were more like family) and the stop off trips around the Seychelles brilliantly planned. It exceeded my expectations! I would also recommend this holiday to single travellers and all ages.”

“First time on a cruise of any sort and it was fabulous. The accommodation, the food and all the crew from the Captain to the person that serviced our cabin twice a day were excellent. We even met the CEO who bought us drinks! All the guests from all over the world became friends and Ully our tour guide was great. A special mention to Mick who organised a cake for our silver wedding anniversary and Valerie who looked after our needs at the cocktail bar. I would highly recommend this company.”
