“We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day cruise through the Cycladic Islands. The Captain and his crew were all welcoming and attentive throughout the cruise. When the sailing was delayed due to rough seas the first night, the crew hosted an in port dance party on the middeck. It was a chance to get to know the other 34 passengers and set the tone for the trip.”

“Coming onboard Galileo was like meeting up with old friends again. The captain and crew were so welcoming and attentive. I was apprehensive about taking the Jewel of the Cyclades cruise as a solo traveller but I need not have worried. I had a wonderfui time; visited the beautiful islands and sights; and made new friends from USA and Australia.”

“Just returned from an amazing Seychelles cruise with Variety Cruises, and it was an experience to remember! Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the service was beyond expectations. Captain Ehab and his crew were fantastic—professional, welcoming, and always ensuring a smooth and safe journey. From the moment we stepped onboard, we felt well taken care of. Safety was clearly a priority, yet everything was handled so seamlessly that we could just relax and enjoy. The food was exceptional! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, offering a perfect mix of local and international cuisine. The chef and the team made sure every dish was not just delicious but also presented with care. The swim stops were unreal—hidden beaches, turquoise waters, and incredible snorkeling spots. Every location felt carefully selected to showcase the best of the Seychelles. A big shoutout to the housekeeping team for maintaining an incredibly high standard of cleanliness. Cabins were refreshed twice a week, always spotless and inviting. This cruise was an absolute dream—personalized, luxurious, and filled with unforgettable moments. A huge thank you to the entire Variety Cruises team for making this such a special experience!”

“The smallness of Variety Cruises allows one to get to know everyone on board. You get to know the crew and the ship can go places larger vessels can not. Our last cruise on Variety, there were 15 passesngers on a 40 passenger ship. It was lovely. We had room to move around and lots of personal attention,”

“Just returned from our Greek Isles cruise aboard the Panorama. What a fabulous experience! From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by our amazing cruise director Ully and Captain Andreas we could tell this trip was going to be special. Socializing and enjoying this adventure with a wonderful mix of fellow passengers added to an unforgettable vacation. The entire crew were friendly and attentive and we couldn't ask for anything more. Swimming at private beaches or off the ship was a real treat. All the ports beautiful and with Ully in charge we could relax and enjoy all the sights and local history. We can't wait to sail again on a Variety cruise!!”
