We’ve had a late cancellation so to fill the 2-person cabin we’re throwing in round-trip air for the same price!!
We sail the magical Greek Islands leaving from Paros and jumping from island to island of the Southern Aegean on our private 10-passenger luxury catamaran. We’ll have our own captain and our own private chef. You and your captain map out an itinerary. In the pre-trip we explore the Greek mainland, including Athens and Delphi. For the post-trip we head to the incredible island of Santorini.
This is the trip that put us on the map, and that brings visitors back year after year. We have our own private 46-foot Lagoon catamaran. This luxury ship has 4 berths, 8 passengers, and plenty of space for gathering both inside and out. We’ll be able to sail into small coves and isolated beaches to explore the many sights the Cyclades has to offer. (We do have the option of moving up to a Lagoon 50 with 5 berths, 10 passengers.)
On day one you’ll meet with the captain and map out your itinerary. Dying to see Mykonos? Tell him to set sail! You’ll also meet with your cook and concierge. She’ll ask about your food and alcohol preferences. Our recommendation: let her pick everything for days of authentic Greek meals. Breakfast will be a huge spread, and as you sail to the next island, lunch may be a Greek salad with local fish. You may decide to have dinner at one of the islands’ great tavernas and feast on the fresh catch of the day. Your hostess will be happy to arrange such meals ashore. Some of the islands even have an active nightlife if that’s your thing. Every day will be a postcard moment, and you’ll bring back memories to cherish for a lifetime.
Note: Ship cabins are small, and each cabin has the equivalent of a queen bed and a private bath with shower. We are happy to pair you with a potential roommate, but please be aware of the space limitations.
You’ll stay aboard a 10-cabin (plus crew), 46 foot Lagoon catamaran. Cabins and common areas are luxuriously appointed, and you’ll be waited on by your captain and cook.
