Frequently Asked Questions About the Cruise
What is a cabin charter cruise?
A cabin charter allows you to reserve your own cabin instead of chartering the entire yacht. You share the vessel, crew, itinerary and common areas with a small group of fellow travellers. It is well suited to solo travellers, couples and friends who want to experience the Greek islands aboard a traditional yacht.
Is this a private yacht cruise?
No. This is a shared cabin cruise, so other travellers will also be on board. Groups wishing to have an entire yacht exclusively to themselves can ask us about private yacht charter options.
How long is the West Cyclades cruise?
The cruise lasts one week. Guests normally board the yacht in Syros on Saturday evening, with departure the following morning, and disembark the next Saturday morning.
What makes the West Cyclades different?
The western Cyclades offer a quieter atmosphere than some of Greece’s most famous island routes. The journey combines lively ports with smaller islands, secluded bays and distinctive landscapes, making it ideal for travellers who enjoy natural beauty and a more relaxed pace.
Can the itinerary change?
Yes. The route is indicative and may be adapted by the captain because of weather, sea conditions, port restrictions, safety considerations or the yacht’s required return time. Any changes are made to provide the best practical journey under the prevailing conditions.
Can solo travellers, couples, families and groups book this cruise?
Yes. The cruise welcomes solo travellers, couples, families and groups of friends. Prices are based on double occupancy, with a single supplement applying to solo travellers.
What are the cabins like?
The exact cabin layout varies by yacht, but accommodation is generally in practical double cabins. Most cabins have double beds and private bathroom facilities. As storage space aboard a traditional yacht is limited, we recommend packing light.
What is a typical day like?
A typical day may combine cruising, swimming in clear Aegean waters, relaxing on deck and exploring an island town or harbour. The yacht normally travels under engine power, although the sails may occasionally be used when weather conditions, the route and the operating schedule allow.
