athens cruises
  • Book your Athens cruise tickets at least 2 weeks before your planned dates, and up to a month in advance during the peak season, to avoid last-minute disappointments. Not only does this ensure availability, but it also lets you snag early bird discounts.
  • Carry your digital voucher and a valid photo ID for verification purposes. They are required to board the cruise ship, especially if you have booked discounted tickets.
  • Make sure you arrive at the boarding pier or are ready at the pick-up point 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
  • Wear clothing in breathable fabrics and comfortable walking shoes as you'll be spending a significant part of your day exploring the Saronic Islands. Layers are a good idea as temperatures can vary through the day, especially during the spring and autumn months.
  • Don’t forget to bring your swimwear if you are up for swimming and snorkelling.
  • Share any specific dietary requirements you might have with the cruise operator when you book your tickets.
  • Feel free to bring your own alcohol onboard. However, remember that the minimum drinking age is 18 years.
  • The cruises are subject to favorable weather conditions. Itineraries and operating hours can change during the winter period. If canceled due to poor weather, you will be given the option of an alternative date.
