“Southern Aegean August-September 2013. Excellent crew, from Captain, Hotel Manager, Tour manager (Marita) and all other service staff. Perfect Cabin (Upper Deck on Panorama II). Mix of bathing, meals (Either lunch on the ship or dinner in cosy harbors) and tours were very convenient. The easy-going atmosphere among the guests from different countries was also very nice. we are now looking forward to travel in northern Aegean with start from Athens 22 August. Friendly Greetings Kjell Ebena”

“My first Vw”

“Cruising the Seychelles on board Pegasos is an absolutely wonderfull experience. I have made the tour 3 times, and I'm not sure I'm done yet. The amacing nature of the islands, the birds, the snorkeling, the very good food, cosy ship, the friendly atmospere and most of all the extraordinary kind and competent staff. They really are unique, making you feel welcome, taking care of you and doing anything to fulfill your wishes.”

“The "Voyager " cruise from Salerno to Sicily and Malta and back during September 2012 was Just wonderful. The Captain, Andreas, and his crew could not have been more helpful and happy. The ship, VOYAGER, is just fabulous with all the comfort and facilities one could ever want on a cruise ship. My wife and I had a lovely cruise. Thank You VARIETY. Geoff Shapowloff”

“We have been aboard Panorama II twice, once sailing in the Dodekanes in September 2013 and in April 2014 circumnavigating the Peloponnes. In both instances we enjoyed our cruises very much - the size of the ship was perfect, to make you feel like being on a private cruise, the crew was extremely competent and friendly, trying to anticipate our all our wishes and almost always succeeding! Except for the the fact, that we still want to travel to other parts of the world as well, we would sail again and again on Panorama II”

“The cruise was a very good experience for all of us. All the crew members were very nice and professional. The food also was very good and very well cooked. My only complaint is referring to the previous information that we do NOT received in relation to the daily schedulling (places where we are going to disembark every day; at what time we will do ashore and when we will get on board) I was asking for this information to Isidoros a lot of times, but without any success. This information was very important for us, because, we wanted to do the excursions by ourselves. This was because we were four Spanish people where I was the only one who spoke English. We understand that all the excursions were done on English because almost everybody were English speaking (Americans, Canadians, Britons) but we cannot understand why you were not giving us this information. Finally and despite to this we were able to prepare in advance all the excursions except one of them, but no thanks to your help. This was the only negative experience we had on this cruise. In the future, please, you have to be more understanding with this type of requests. Probably you will earn a little bit less money for excursions, but you will win the hapiness of your customers. Best regards Isidoro Gil PS. That is the reason why we qualify this trip only good and not as very good.”

Thank you very much for your feedback on your Costa Rica & the Panama cruise experience on board the Mega Yacht Variety Voyager. It is wonderful to hear that you overall enjoyed your cruise. We are particularly pleased to read your comments on the food as well as on the crew who has been as always, that attentive and professional. In regards to your sole complaint, please note that our Customers Service department will look into the issue and revert to you as quickly as possible. We wish to have the pleasure to welcome you back with us on board any of our ships soon. Kind regards, Variety Cruises

“Motor Yacht Pegasus eight Days, Seychelles Cruise from Port Victoria Mahe. Excellent organized tour, Sevice was perfect and outstanding. Can and will recommend to my friends.”

“I had a tour of islands in the Aegean. This was my first time on any "cruise" boat bigger than a private yacht, and it was lovely. We got to know everyone, we could swim off the boat in uninhabited bays on various islands, we visited several beautiful, tranquil and fascinating islands that we would never have seen otherwise.”

“we had a very nice stay at the Seychelles with a friendly crew”

“We went on the Galileo to the Greek Islands in May 2014. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Met some wonderfull people & the crew were amazing. Would do it all over again”

“The Seychelles MY Pegasus Excellent cruise,wonderful staff especially Lynn and the cruise manager [whose name escapes me ] and the captain [from Cuba.] Super destinations and wonderful food [a terrific chef ] What more can I say ? Thank you to all, Cheers, Ken Bond”

“I have been on a large cruise ship but disliked it intensely therefore I was very concerned about this choice to see the Greek Islands. We had an amazingly wonderful time. This small cruise was perfect. Staff were fantastic, food good, itinerary great, comfort level very high in all aspects. Worth our 25 hour plane ride from Australia...............”

“Aegean Odyssey Panaroma II - This was out first ever cruise and even though we had never cruised before we knew we were not the type to go on one of those large cruise ships that held thousand's of people. This was our primary reason for choosing Variety. Once on the cruise we found the ship, accommodations, crew, food, friendly & fun atmosphere and camaraderie amongst other guests, ability to visit out of the way places, in fact everything about the cruise totally exceeded our expectations. There is nothing that I can even think of that I would consider as a negative or as being less than perfect……the Aegean was a bit cooler for swimming than we expected - that was it.”

“It was a dream come true. I loved the boat and the crew loves the boat loves the boat too. It's like they are a family. Please have Marita email me as I haves pictures she ask me to send.”

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that your week on board the Galileo has been a dream come true, makes it all worth-wile! Marita will be contacting you in regards to the pictures! Thank you and we wish to welcome you back on board the Galileo or any of our ships soon. Kind regards, Variety Cruises

“Dakar, Gambia, March 2014, Harmony V Very good, informative and well organized trip into a territory (geographic and cultural) which is hardly accessible otherwise. A demonstration of the massive crime of colonialism, and of the destruction of identities in the millions by Europeans, mostly the British.”

“Our experience on the Harmony V as we cruised the Rivers of West Africa was a welcomed combination of education, exposure and entertainment. The staff seemed to have been hand selected to optimize each passenger's travel experience. Assan, was well informed of The Gambia's history, bird and wild life, culture, traditions and village life. Mr. Dimetri (sp) made sure that he and the staff were anticipatory of the comforts that enhanced our cruise. We were very impressed with Constantine's dedication to the school in the village. We have been consistently collecting school supplies since we returned to the US. We will be contacting you for instructions on how to get these supplies to your headquarters for delivery in The Gambia. We have told family and friends about the experience and have recommended Variety to them all. We are planning our next small ship cruise with Variety. Thank you for be a high quality, service-based, customer-focused business that resulted in our outstanding cruise experience. Bashiri and Tengemana Thumbutu”

We are so pleased to hear that your cruise has been an thoroughly enjoyable experience combining comfort, culture and education. We are truly grateful to hear that you have been collecting school supplies for the Lamin Koto School Project, which is funded by donations by Variety Cruises passengers and Variety Cruises. Please contact us at info@varietycruises.com, should you need any information regarding the delivery of the supplies to our headquarters. We will again this year return to the Rivers of West Africa for a fifth season, in December 2014 through March 2015. We look forward to hearing from you and welcome you back on board any of our ships soon. Kind regards, Variety Cruises

“M V Harmony on The Gambia River. We had a great time .It was a new experience for us as we had either had Bare Boat Charters and looked after ourselves or been on much larger ships. I think all these formats have their advantages. In September we are trying something else again on a Gulet in Turkey. The crew on the Harmony were great and we could not fault the whole experience.”

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. Indeed, as you mentioned, all types of nautical holidays have their own advantages, and we are grateful to hear that your first ever experience on board a small ship has proved to be so enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back on board any of our ships soon, and we also wish you safe and many more great travels. Kind regards, Variety Cruises

“Our experience far exceeded our expectation. The food was very good, plenty of choices and prepared very well. Cabin service was wonderful, room kept clean at all times, fresh towels and toiletry. Hotel manager, Mr. Spirosis and cruise director, Dietmar were friendly and accomodating to all guests. The excursions offered were first rate but not oversold. If a guest preferred a quiet day all still helpful with suggestions. Travel agenda was great. Love the small cruise option. Saw places the big ships cannot go. Loved it. Would take another trip.”

It is wonderful to hear that your small ship cruise experience exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed all aspects of your cruise week on board the Harmony V Mega Yacht. Thank you very much for your feedback, we hope to welcome you back on board any of our ships soon. Kind regards, Variety Cruises

“Our trip to Casta Rica and the Panama canal was an enjoyable experience made even better by the crew and facilities on the Variety Voyager. This small friendly mega yacht suited us perfectly for the voyage with its comfortable rooms, lounge and dining room. Food was excellent and the service second to none The excursions were well priced and escorted by knowledgeable staff and guides taking us through the various reserves and the trip through the locks at the canal was a great experience. We would certainly use the cruise line again and we have already been recommending Variety Cruises to our friends. Thanks for a great holiday. Alan and Deryn Key”

Thank you so much for such positive comments on our Treasures of Costa Rica and the Panama cruise program on board the M/Y Variety Voyager. It is truly great to hear you have enjoyed all aspects of the cruise on board and ashore. Also, we thank you so much for sharing a few photos taken during your cruise week! We wish to welcome you back on our ships soon. Kind regards, Variety Cruises

“My cruise was around the Greek Islands and Turkey, I believe it was the Aegean Odyssy and the boat was Pan Orama II. I absolutely loved it! The crew was amazing, our cruise director Ninna was wonderful and I loved all of the places we visited. I participated in all of the guided tours provided and I'm so glad I did! I want to go back and do it again. The rest of the guests were wonderful, we got to know each other and had a blast! Our captain Demetris was also excellent and he even danced with us when we had the traditional Greek dancers come on board. I highly recommend this company and trip!”

We are pleased to hear you enjoyed every aspect of your recent cruise. Thank you for your kind feedback and we hope to welcome you back on board any of our ships soon. Kind regards, Variety Cruises
