This cruise went above and beyond our expectations. Even though strong winds forced a change in our itinerary, we were very happy with how it all turned out. Swimming off the ship in the Aegean Sea is pure bliss! We highly recommend this cruise by Variety Cruises.

Excellent service from point of initial contact through purchase and further questions. Very very happy. The trip itself was very well managed and there were nice little touches. The staff were fabulous. Definitely like to book again.
