“Harmony V excellent crew & destinations. Athens & Greek Isles. My wife & I have been regular cruisers on the larger cruise lines, the Harmony V being the first small boat experience. We will be back.”

“Wow what an amazing 7 days we had on the Panorama II everything was fantastic, the food, excursions, the staff where just wonderful and the destinations. The Greek Islands where very special, especially on this small ships cruise with only 38 passengers, on some islands you felt you where the only ones visiting. I can't wait to do another cruise with Variety!!!!”

“Classical Greek Cruise 2014:September What an experience! An unforgettable week! This cruise surpassed all our expectations! Not wanting to cruise on a "big ship",this was the perfect alternative. We sailed on the Harmony V, which offered a more personalised service, with an experienced and professional crew. On board meals were exceptional and plentiful, daily routine well communicated and offshore options well organised,thanks to the cruise director Dietmar. All locations visited were interesting and varied. Would highly recommend this cruise, specially for people wanting to experience cruising for the first time. David and Michelle Brierley, Sydney, Australia”

“See my email of September 25, 2014. I forgot to mention that when off the ship with other passengers we would often say "lets go home". I think this is a tribute to the Crew/Captain for making us feel so comfortable. Also the "SHIP" had something to do with it - it was warm and in one passenger's comment "beautiful" (note: he owns a 70 ft yacht). Robert Armanino”

“Variety was FAR better than any 'big ship' cruise we've been on. They accommodated all our requests, and we got to know our fellow passengers - and had a much better experience - than we would have had we done the same cruise on a biugger ship or by bus or driving. Thanks!!”

“"jewels of the cyclades" on the boat GALILEO (30/09/2014) in twin bedded cabin we enjoy very much this cruise ! because : - there are only 45 persons and no children with much crew we enjoy : the cruise program with visit archeological sites and swim stops with BBQ - reading on the sun desk - breakfast , buffet and diner very good, and it was very nice to go in traditionel greek tavernas christine sassard from FRANCE du sud”

“Yannis and Marita and the rest of the crew made our sailing experience very comfortable and pleasant. The entire crew was hospitable and polite. It would be nice to have hand lotion in the room.”

“Classical Greece cruise on MY HarmonyV. We loved our cruise experience. All staff from the boys greeting you as you came back on board every time, to the cabin staff, house keeping, wait staff, cruise director, and captain and crew were very friendly and obliging in making our time with them personal and an enjoyable experience. Everyone was always willing to take the time for a chat or answer questions. We were very impressed with one of the waiters Vic. Watching him work was amazing. He had a keen eye for all the needs of the passengers in the dining room , with a subtle wit and sense of humour which was very engaging. If the opportunity arose to travel to a destination of interest for us with your company, we would, and would have no hesitation in recommending variety cruises to family, friends and colleagues.”

“All wonderful - just a couple of comments: Nowhere to dry of swimming kit. Didn't get on very well travelling over night - missing the scenery which was a shame, and the motion and engine noise stopped me sleeping. Otherwise had a great trip - and congrats to Dietmar who was so well informed and efficient!”

“Greek Islands, Panorama II, We had a wonderful time. The crew was marvellous, the sea was kind, the stop overs and visits were fantastic, the guides and tour director were all very knowledgable -- wish my history teacher way back at school could have been half as good! The food was amazing, what else can I say? Thanks for a wonderful experience.”

“M/S Galileo, Fantastic Ship. We traveled on the 16 of August 2014. Cabin 5 was our home for the week. Nice size, good beds, and very clean. Maritia was on top of every want and need. Excursions were very organized and it was nice to have such a small group, every thing was very personal. she new everyone by name and where they were from. She had great tips of the local areas we visited. I even fell on the ship (my fault) when no one was around and she was there with ice packs before I could get up for my ankle. She was just great!!!! The Bartender, Valerie was so much fun . Mixing drinks laughing and making everyone feel right home. Anna and the staff were always there with coffee and a nice smile for the day. Great trip with fun memories, and we will be back again soon!! Tracy and Sam”

Dear Tracy and Sam, We would like to thank you for taking the time to write a review of your week on board the M/S Galileo on our Jewels of the Cyclades cruise. It is wonderful to hear that the accommodation and crew have made you feel like home, and that you were satisfied with the friendliness and professionalism of the crew on board as well as with the quality of the excursions ashore. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on board one of our ships soon. With very kind regards, The Variety Cruises Team

“This is my first time with Variety Cruises and it was for Jewel of Cyclades from 9 Aug until 16 Aug. I have to say it exceeded my expectations. Using a small cruise ship like M/S Galileo is totally a different experience compare to big cruise ships. We could actually dock at the ports of the islands and/or swimming locations which are remote with crystal clear water. The services on-board was excellent and very personal as you don't have many passengers - max is 50 passengers, I think. There is basically no queue during embarkation and disembarkation at ports. I totally love it. Given the chance, I would definitely do another cruise with Variety Cruises. Thumbs up! Regards, Bon”

Dear Bon, Thank you for leaving a review of your cruise experience on board the M/S Galileo encircling the most beautiful Jewels of the Cyclades. It is with great pleasure to hear that the cruise exceeded your expectations. The key points of small ship cruising that you have mentioned above, along with the dedication of the crew on board as well as the well-chosen stopovers is what makes the cruise experience with Variety Cruises truly unique. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on board one of our ships soon. Safe travels and Sea you soon! With best regards, The Variety Cruises Team

“We were on board Harmony V on the classical Greek Cruise. We found the experience to be wonderful. All the crew were attentive and the level of service was very high. Meals on board were great, so much better than expected. We really enjoyed being able to get on and off the ship at the Ports we were in, a major advantage on being on a small ship. It was easy to join into group activities and also to take time out to do our own thing.”

Dear Corrine, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your Yacht Cruise Experience on board the M/Y Harmony V. We are particularly delighted to hear that the food quality on board exceeded your expectations and that you were so satisfied by the professionalism of the crew on board. Last but not least, the concept of our cruises lies exactly on the ability to get on and off the ship at one's pace. Also, our itineraries are indeed carefully crafted to daily combine excursions and activities with enough time for our guests to make their own arrangements! Thank you for choosing Variety Cruises, we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on board one of our ships soon. Sea you soon, The Variety Cruises Team

“HarmonyV classic greese”

“My experience aboard the Harmony V, Classical Greece tour was amazing. The service and the activities on board, the excursions on shore and the new friendships created, made for an unforgettable holiday. On this holiday, I was able to relax and have many laughs, learn about a new culture and its history and experience new activities....what more can one ask for!? Thank you so much to the Variety Cruise Team! My family and I are already planning another journey aboard your wonderful ships”

“Classical Greece. Excellent crew, meals and excursions. Beds in room very comfortable but should have been a bit higher off the floor to accommodate luggage storage during trip. In addition, bathroom had all necessary amenities, but shower did not drain properly because the drain was located on the opposite side that the boat listed constantly. Had to turn water on and off constantly during shower to prevent overflow. Would recommend this trip to others, but also recommend some maintenance updating of ship.”

“We were on the Harmony V for a cruise around the Greek islands. It was a beautiful trip and the crew was very accommodating. I am looking forward to cruising with Variety again in the future and have already recommended it to family and friends.”
