Need to Know
What is the Classical Greece Cruise concept?
The Variety Cruises experience stands out as it offers a small ship atmosphere aboard our luxurious motor sailers and mega yachts. Our aim over the years has been to provide our guests with the feeling of vacationing on a friend's private yacht. The experience you are about to embark on is distinctively different from standard cruises. We guarantee that all measures within our reach have been taken to ensure a safe, comfortable, and delightful time on board. We meld the cruise adventure with ample time for relaxation in every port, including overnight stays, prompting our guests to immerse themselves in local cuisine, culture, and engage with the community. Moreover, thanks to their size, our intimate vessels can navigate to the heart of destinations inaccessible to larger ships. Our team of experts, with over fifty years of crafting itineraries, has meticulously chosen the best ports to ensure you discover both well-known landmarks and hidden gems, all while experiencing the culture as true travelers.
Note: In case of severe weather conditions, our thoughtfully designed itineraries will be adapted to ensure both your safety and comfort, utilizing our extensive marine knowledge developed since 1949.
What to Bring?
Travel light with flexible bags that can slide under the bed, as cabin storage is tight. We recommend packing casual attire such as shorts, t-shirts, swim gear, a cozy layer for chilly nights, sturdy shoes for walking, beach flip-flops, a sunhat, sunscreen, and insect repellent. When visiting religious sites in Greece, modest clothing is a must—women should opt for skirts or dresses (no pants or shorts), and sleeveless tops or swimwear are prohibited. Towels and bedding will be available on board.
