Frequently Asked Questions About the Cruise

Sparkling Cyclades is an eight-day yacht journey through some of the most beautiful parts of the Aegean. With only a small number of guests on board, it combines whitewashed islands, swimming in clear waters, time ashore, good food and relaxed summer days close to the sea.

The yacht has only five guest cabins and carries up to 12 passengers, creating a much more personal atmosphere than a conventional cruise ship. Smaller numbers also make it easier to enjoy swimming, water activities, quiet time on deck and the feeling of travelling through the islands rather than simply visiting them.

One morning may begin with a swim in a quiet bay, while another finds you arriving near a lively Cycladic town. There is time to enjoy the water, relax on deck, explore ashore and discover local restaurants, shops and island life. The pace is relaxed, with each day bringing a different side of the Cyclades.

There are only five cabins, ranging from approximately 14 to 27 square metres. All have private bathrooms, air conditioning, portholes and modern amenities. Depending on the category, cabins have double or twin beds, while selected suites can accommodate a third guest.
