The main difference between the luxury morning cruise and the classic morning catamaran tour in Santorini with Greek meal and Hotel transfer option available on our website is that the luxury morning cruise starts from the bay of Ammoudi(Oia town, north part) and ends at Vlychada marina (south part) while the classic morning cruise departs and returns at the marina of Vlychada(south part). By choosing the luxury morning cruise tour option you will be practically sailing on a longer route and maximizing your sightseeing opportunities. Swimming is included in all morning cruises, there will be 2 swimming stops performed for 20-30 minutes each. Both the luxury and the classic morning cruise are a mix of sightseeing and swimming, we would say 60-70% sightseeing and 30-40% swimming. Both morning cruises are relaxing, and fun and you will be enjoying a Greek meal served “family style” including drinks such as white wine, beer, or sodas. The luxury morning cruise is longer in terms of the distance covered. We would recommend this option for guests staying at Oia town or the Imerovigli area, or for guests opting for a longer sightseeing cruise in terms of distance covered.

• Drinks such as wine and beer are being offered complimentary by the crew while on board, under moderate consumption, and within the alcohol safety limits scheme, as per the Greek sea law for travelers on board organized sea excursions.
• The catamaran vessel that is used on this tour is motor-powered. Its sails might or might not be used/opened, subject to weather conditions, and the captain’s judgment. This is a gentle note for guests who are opting for a pure sailing experience onboard a non-motorized sailing boat.
