Athens Vip Cruise: Hydra, Poros & Aegina | Official Operator

We had a wonderful experience on the cruise!The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the journey, making sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of! Their excellent service really made the experience special.We thoroughly enjoyed our time on every island and would highly recommend this cruise!

Did VIP 3 island tour from Athens - liked that they picked you up and dropped off at hotel, liked skipping the line and having our own area to sit. Didn’t like: that the furniture was so low you couldn’t see out the windows, we didn’t have an outside section, we didn’t know when the entertainment was happening/no itinerary, we shld have had reserved tables at front of entertainment area. Liked: Kostos was attentive, the food was beautifully presented and delicious, liked Hydra walking tour and nature/views tour of Aegean

What a Great Time! I highly recommend this Cruise! Renia helped me upgrade and that was Awesome. She was very helpful and friendly and was our guide on the Aegina bus tour.Georgia was also very helpful and friendly so was Madonna the server in first class.the Captain was a Great Guy and so was his crew. I unfortunately cut my leg on the sunbeds and the Crew gave me first aid and then the Captain let me and my girlfriend take pictures with him putting his Captains.hat on my Girlfriend and letting her make believe she was steering the ship. What a Great Guy and Crew. I do recommend upgrading to have a once in a lifetime fun Cruise. The First Class is the way to go

Everyone from our private driver to the people onboard were top notch. They were very informative. We did the VIP ticket and it was well worth it. The islands each had their own uniqueness. Highly recommend this tour.

Stunning, food on board was top star Michelin quality

Find another tour for island. Numerous emails that pick up was 745 am at hotel. Showed up and 7 and left email they were leaving. Tried taking can to marina but they said boat couldn’t wait. Look for different options for the islands.

The trip was great. I definitely recommend spending a little extra and having the VIP experience. The lounge was comfortable with sofas and lunch was amazing. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Big shout out to Alex for everything. I wish we could have had more time on the islands but this trip gave us ideas for our next visit. The VIP lounge was comfortable with our own couch and table. It was not a full trip, so there was plenty of room to stretch out between islands.

Our trip was booked the day before our departure when we were researching day trips. We booked a VIP experience and upgraded to the private captains suite. Our trip was beyond first class from the second Renia, greeted us on board. On the islands Renia acted as our private tour guide. We bypassed lines, met important people on the islands, and she took us to local gems that we would not have found without her. The day was hot and long and the private captains cabin was the perfect place to re group, shower, and rest between islands. The private balcony with lounge chairs was also included in our purchase. It offered me the perfect napping spot on our way back to port. The food on board was good. If you’re looking for the Michelin rated food, you won’t find it here, but the food was good and they offered Gluten Free options. Renia always made sure we had plenty of water and made herself available for any accommodations we needed. If you are looking for an Athens getaway, this is the trip I would recommend! All the staff was kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable. I can’t say enough good things about Renia! She made our trip to islands special and memorable.

We did the Athens Day Cruise and our entire family thought it was an amazing day. We added the VIP cabin experience and it made it even that much better. Our host, Renia K., was fantastic and made sure our experience was next level. She made sure things were taken care of on the ship and we were fully informed on each island we visited. I would highly recommend this trip if you are visiting Athens and want to get out and see some additional islands.

My husband and I booked the 3 Island Tour with the VIP package, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. We were taken straight to the VIP lounge, where we had our own private area with two comfortable sofas. It was the perfect place to relax during the cruise between the islands. The VIP package was absolutely worth it. It included drinks throughout the day, so we enjoyed freddo cappuccinos and freddo lattes while taking in the beautiful views. The first stop was Hydra which was absolutely beautiful. We chose to join the guided tour, which was excellent, but I also appreciated that the tours are completely optional. If you prefer, you are free to explore each island on your own. After the tour, we still had free time to walk around before heading to the next island. When we returned to the boat, our lunch was waiting for us. I was not expecting such an elaborate meal, but everything was fresh and delicious. Our second stop was shorter, but we still had enough time to stroll through the streets and do a little shopping. At our final island, we joined another guided tour, which was once again fantastic. The entire experience was incredibly well organized. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, the boat was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. You can tell the team takes great pride in what they do. This is a full-day excursion, but it flows so smoothly that the time flies by. If you are considering the Athens Day Cruise, I highly recommend choosing the VIP package. It was worth every penny and made the day even more special. I would absolutely book this excursion again. Don’t hesitate, book it! You won’t regret it.

I pre-purchased the VIP cruise package for my family of 9 only to find ourselves squeezed into a small area that really comfortably accommodated 6 people. The staff brought out 3 table chairs for the remainder of my party. Once settled I noticed other parties of 2 and 4 were provided the same sized arrangements that were given to my party of 9. Three of us had to sit on table chairs during the entire time of the cruise. I spoke with the blond hostess and she was not accommodating at all. I paid $2000 euros for a VIP section that we were squeezed into as I watched the hostess continue to sell the other same sized VIP sections to parties of 2 or 4. I feel that my family of 9 were treated very unfairly by the hostess. It certainly did not make sense to me that because I booked a party of 9 we were squeezed into a limited area. I could have made 3 separate reservations for parties of 3 and would have received at least 3 VIP sections instead of the one and a half that was actually provided to us. I mentioned this to the hostess but she was more concerned with convincing other genpop folks to upgrade to the VIP area. I took photos of the accommodations that we were squeezed into compared to what all the other guests in the VIP section received. The optics shows the huge discrepancy between my family and all the other VIP guests. As a side note the wait staff in the VIP section were amazing and worked tirelessly towards the comfort of all the guests. Lastly, I am still upset with the unfairness of it all and I hope they will do better in the future. Not the family memories that I had hoped for especially after spending so much for the un-VIP experience!

Lovely relaxing day everyone was very helpful and polite

Beautiful trip! Excellent staff! If you don't get the VIP lounge, be prepared to be packed in like cattle. The VIP lounge is worth the extra cost if it fits your budget.

Beautiful experience love the photos, the food and most importantly the cruise

The ship is amazing, the service was very good, especially the barista. He is fantastic at making hot chocolate! We received exceptional service by a staff member named Speridos! Thank you very much for all your hard work taking care of all 8 of us from Canada 🇨🇦

I had a great time! Everything was planned perfectly, the beaches were lovely despite the weather and the crew was super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Rena was absolutely amazing! When she found out this trip was to celebrate my graduation, she went above and beyond by upgrading us to a private suite. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the experience even more special. She made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish and was incredibly kind and attentive the entire time. Her warmth and dedication truly stood out, and our trip would not have been the same without her. Thank you, Rena, for helping make such an important celebration unforgettable!

We had an amazing experience! Renia was an amazing guide and was so incredibly kind! She is very knowledgeable and has great plans that fit perfect for everyone in your group. The islands were incredible and the show at the end on the boat was fantastic!

Had a wonderful time! Definitely take the VIP option. The organization and staff were amazing! Panos who drove us to and back from the port. Kostas who took great care of us and went way and beyond to make us comfortable. And Julia who gave us the walking tour on Hydra and the cultural tour on Aegina. All were amazing people. Highly recommended

Very enjoyable experience. The VIP area is a MUST for this. Comfortable, friendly. Made some new friends. The only downside was we ran out of time in Aegina and had no time to walk the city. I would drop the POROS stop and spend more time in Hydra and Aegina. Overall recommend - but VIP is a must.

We booked the only cabin on the boat and they treated us like absolute royalty. Renia was amazing and took care of our every need. She booked us on all the tours and made sure we got to them on time. We also had an amazing tour guide, Georgia who was hilarious and knowledge. We got to see the temple of Aphia and a beautiful monastery on Aegina, Hydra the island without cars, and the quaint Poros. The cabin itself was worth the price. It easily fits four, has air-condition and wifi, a bed which my jetlagged wife napped on, and it's own bathroom and shower. The food was excellent and we even had a private little deck. Worth every penny, and a great way to see multiple islands in one day.

This was a fantastic day. If you are in Athens there is no better way to see these three islands. We did the VIP package and that made this a truly unique experience and a definite addition to your agenda. We had a private room, private balcony a butler (Alex) and a concierge (Renia). This is a definite must do when in the Athens area.

We chose the VIP option for this excursion because of the reviews that I read. We loved the special treatment we received from the crew. Special lounge area with comfortable sofas and lounge chairs. Personal service for drinks, snacks, and meals. Skip the line for everything. The alternative is to travel and eat with a mass of people. I was a little bit skeptical about paying so much more for the VIP. Food, Drinks and tours are included. Not so in the regular seatings.

The staff on the minute that I met them ignored my first question. I asked if the boat had enough room because it didn’t look crowded and the officer that was greeting. The guest shook his head and walked away and wouldn’t answer the question. The ship is very old probably from the 70s and looks like it’s remodeled in the 90s but not touch since. The upholstery and the floors were really dirty and it had a musty smell. When we found our seats, we looked at the table and it was full of stains like it hadn’t been wiped down for a long time. He sat when we were off to the first island. Their staff came out to sell excursions to different places, and then they started arguing in front of the guest, you could tell that they were really mad even though I couldn’t understand them. You feel like they’re giving orders to the guests, I asked one girl that works in the boat by and she didn’t know why she was pointing me in direction. After the first island we found that we were really bored and we didn’t get off on the second one they did serve lunch. But we noticed when they were loading the food for the guest at the containers that they put the food in were dirty. The first officer would answer my question at the very start of this cruise, avoiding me. So sat on the cruise and uncomfortable chairs and dirty. I watch a girl from the boutique, not work at her station and flirt with the bartender and never really working at all. She mostly flirting with the other staff to avoid work. It looked like. Yes that was an opinion. There were two staff members on the business deck worked really hard, being cheerful and helping the guest. The bartender blew his nose and cleaned up his face with his hands and proceeded to serve drinks. This was really gross. The end of the cruise officer that I had talked to goes behind the bar and starts, touching all the food with his hands and eating it. I talked to a person who said he was the officers boss. The officer saw me go to this person who I assume was a captain and I begin to complain. The first officer denied everything and told me that he can only help one person at a time. I was the last person to get on the ship, and he never asked me or help me with my question. He just walked away. I told Catherine about the ladies arguing and a girl not in the boutique and the bartender that didn’t wash his hands and he knew I was upset. His response was make a complaint. I’m doing better than that. I’m letting you know that the people on this cruise don’t care about people they’re helping and the ship is really old and outdated. Look for another cruise ship. I hope they read this. I know they’ll know it’s me. It’s a waste of $400 or €360.

Service in VIP was worth the money. Costas and Madonna were exceptional! We spent almost seven hours on the water going place to place and only spent about 30 min in Poros and an hour in Hydra. Your of Aegina was not worth it because we were in the bus more than seeing two places. Overall good experience but would recommend two islands and more time at each!

My travel agent booked this tour for us and I didn't know what to expect. Once we arrive on the ship we upgraded to VIP and choose the private cabin. It was well worth the money and made the trip extremely comfortable for my family. The staff was amazing and extremely attentive and accommodating. Renia ensured that we were well taken care of. Another staff member, Eric (I think) was very helpful and another one made sure we were ok at our ports. Georgiana was an extremely detailed and informative tour guide at 2 of the ports. I was amazed at how well she could speak multiple languages. The island of Hydra was beautiful and my daughter and MIL enjoyed a donkey ride. Porros was a short stop, but the views from the clock tower were breath taking and finally Aegina was so cute and the pistachios were delicious. This trip was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. I recommend it, but highly recommend the VIP option for a more comfortable day.

This was an excellent experience. The crew really took care of us, especially Renia! Seeing all three islands with knowledgeable tour guides was lovely. Then, you get to come back to a beautiful boat and relax between stops. Highly recommend! For reference, my parents are 58 and 65, I’m 36. We all enjoyed it.

We had an amazing day from start to finish - the VIP experience is absolutely worthwhile, with Reina and Alex making our day easy, relaxing, and so memorable. Truly lovely people who made our time in the magical Aegean even more magical. Highly recommend. Our two teen boys raved about the day. Thank you!

This was such a fun day trip. Annie, Virginia and Katerina were wonderful and I highly recommend the VIP lounge. Totally worth it.

We took the VIP excursion on board the Cosmos and it was wonderful. Luxurious VIP cabin with comfortable loungers, a full bar and excellent bartender—Kostas—and great service the entire trip. Had a fabulous sit down lunch and plenty of snacks. We took the walking tours at both Hydra and Aegina, which were well worth the time. Finally, a shout out to Katerina, Virginia, Anny and Kostas who ensured we had a great day. In closing we had a great time in a comfortable, relaxing environment. Do the VIP, you won’t regret it.

Georgia was a great guide on our tour of Hydra, her stories made the history of the island come alive in our minds! I can only recommend her as a guide as she condensed a lot of great information into our short time on the island! She also knew all the cool places and is a standout example of warm Greek hospitality!

Staff was amazing very friendly, helpful and polite. Highly recommend this trip to see the islands. Great views and very interesting, Hostess was wonderful and very helpful. Shop on board had great prices and service. The buffet was a nice touch! Thank you for a lovely day!

Such a wonderful worthwhile cruise ! Everyone was so helpful and kind. It's very well organised and the tours are fabulous! I did the walking tour of Hydra with the very bubbly gorgeous Georgina 😍

A good trip around the three islands for someone like us who had 4 nights in Athens to see the sights. We paid for the upgrade before the trip to the air conditioned lounge and hotel pick up and drop off in small van with 6 other passengers which in my opinion is worth the extra. A few hundred passengers on board which made disembarking a little tiresome but that was the only negative for me. Service and food throughout the trip were excellent.

Fantastic day cruise! Georgina and Spiros were outstanding! Highly recommend this day cruise. Excellent buffet! I would do this again.

The three islands, Hydra, Poros and Aegina were each beautiful and unique in their own way. My husband and I like to see all that there is to see in a short amount of time. We were successful in doing that on each island! The cruise itself was very good. We opted for the VIP package because it was important to us to have A/C and free waters all day. Our steward was very attentive and informative! I will say, the accommodations for VIP were less than we expected from the ad photos. The ship was much different than what the photos showed as the VIP area was much smaller, and not as clean and pristine as it looks in the photo.

A trip with no single mistake! A very professional staff surrounding everyone everywhere. Their main goal is to implant a great experience with their guests. We have booked the VIP trip with a private cabin. Truly, they have exceeded our expectations. They welcome you at the port with a saksfone musician, followed by shooting memorable photos. Then, they guide you to the VIP lounge and private luxurious areas dedicated to you. They also provide you with a private key_locked cabin if you booked a cabin. It was about a seating area, a bedroom with a king-size bed, and a bathroom with a spacious shower. All bathroom amenities and towels are there. A fulfilled fridge with soft drinks is in your cabin as well as the VIP lounge. They also provide you with dedicated sofas in the VIP lounge, which has many dining tables. They provide you with breakfast, lunch, and free soft drinks and snaks. It's a 5-star service where they serve you and deliver your orders to anywhere you are on the ship. The 3 islands are amazing, especially Idra and Poros. However, the great experience you need is built by the company, which makes your trip the best. My family and I loved the trip, and we will definitely repeat it every time we visit Athens. I wanted to pay special thanks to Katarina Ahmad, who was an essential factor to make our experience the BEST. She did everything to ensure that we were happy and having a great time..

This was such a fun day and great way to see three amazing islands and learn about how unique each one is. Georgia, who lead the excursions, was so fun and entertaining - her ability to switch from Greek to French to English with ease was amazing too! Katarina and Mandy were both helping in the lounge for the day and made the experience even more special. We felt very pampered and enjoyed every moment.

The crew in the vip lounge was very attentive. Boarding/unboarding was easy. The shuttle from the hotel to the ship was excellent.

UPGRADE IT IS WORTH IT. We originally booked the standard cruise but when we saw the boat and the amount of people we absolutely decided to upgrade to VIP. We had a love seat and table to ourselves and were able to take a nap between islands. Georgina was our tour guide in Hydra and she was amazingly kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend taking this cruise to see the islands.

Excellent cruise. Every tourist and local must do this experience. Thank you Annie for being a unique and successful guide throughout the day ( speaking 7 languages) which makes it very easy for everyone to feel comfortable communicating. Thank you also to the staff in the VIP section: Catherina, Mariah, and all others.

Very nice trip and very much impressed with our guide. Her talent for speaking multiple languages made this trip super interesting! Thank you very much Anni!

The overall travel experience was good, but I bought four pieces of clothing at the ship's store for over 200 euros, only to find the quality was poor, and they even looked like second-hand items. I felt like I paid almost ten times the actual value. Before disembarking, I tried to return them, but the store clerk, who was also one of the tour guides, refused. I feel the store's pricing is dishonest. It's a shame that a trip that should have been high quality ended up making me feel bad, and it makes me doubt the quality of the entire cruise company. I want to advise all future passengers, absolutely do not buy anything in the ship's store.

Great people... terrible staff... our friendship with Captain the terrible... And the kids at the VIP excellent... At any point of the ship and be immediate service and always with a smile... Thank you very much for the wonderful walk - view †️

VIP cruise review It was an unforgettable experience. In the VIP space we count on the kindness of Alex who, at all times, kept an eye on us and made during the navigation we had all possible comforts. The team of guides was very professional and provided us with all kinds of explanations. In short, a highly recommended experience.

The organization was excellent and the attention aboard as the visits with guides were very good. The islands are beautiful and time was enough to know a part or good part of them.

Perfect day thanks to a crew with great care and exceptional views of the ⛴ Gorgia, Multilingual Guide gladly tells anecdotes and shares his love for Hydra

Superb daily cruise on the Greek islands Aegine, Poros, Hydra. Sensational atmosphere, high-end dining served during the cruise, friendly staff, caring for every Traveler. I highly recommend it!!!
