Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

A 23 year old ship is never going to be impressive compared to a glitzy new one, but you know that before you board. What Infinity might lack in the the latest pizzazz it more than makes up for in style and friendliness and the recent dry-dock has left her nicely smartened up. Many carpets, furniture and beds have been replaced. (They even renewed many balcony chairs mid cruise). Being a ...

I totally love this little 1250 max roughly little ship. Great Service, great staff attitude, great value. We have done a number of big ship cattle cruises which we we really started to dislike. No queues for anything apart from the odd coffee. The entertainment was really good and well thought out for 9 days, credit to the director. We are hoping to return to Athens in October for another ...

After reading reviews of the Celestyal Journey's first cruise in September we were apprehensive to say the least, but hoped that, by now, the glitches were all sorted out. And they were. This is one of the best cruises we have ever undertaken. We booked this on the 29th Feb sale day for the staggeringly low price of £140.00. 5 nights, 6 days, and overnight in Istanbul. Unbelievable. Included ...

We have cruised on other Cruise Lines, however this trip was our first Viking Cruise. Our experience was first class from the time of check-in to leaving the ship. The ship itself is absolutely beautiful with many extra amenities for passengers. The Nordic Spa is a must visit while on board, grab a new friend and go relax. The upgraded "Silver Spirits" package is well worth the money, if you ...

This is our second cruise with Celestyal, and will not be our last. The staff from the Celestyal Crystal had transferred to the Celestyal Journey, and we were delighted to be remembered by many of them, which increased our cruise enjoyment. Originally a three week cruise to start with the Three Continents, which was changed to a new itinerary, due to the conflict in Gaza. For the first week, ...

We have Just got off our Celestyal Journey 7 night Idyllic Aegean cruise in Athens and have been blown away by how much we have enjoyed ourselves… we cannot wait to cruise with Celestyal again! We originally booked their 3 continents cruise because it ticked Egypt and the Pyramids off our bucket list. Having previously cruised with some of the big cruise lines (RCCL, NCL, Princess, Disney, ...

Loved this cruise. Certainly helped by great weather and low price but also had very interesting ports of call of Thessaloniki (where we overnighted, and especially enjoyed), Kusadasi, Limassol, Rhodes and Heraklion. I've reviewed all of these in the relevant Ports of Call sections). Ship itself looking good after a refit, staff very cheerful and helpful, and food variable but generally good ...

Viking is an exceptional cruise line in so many ways. The ship was immaculate - rooms are cleaned daily and the turn-down service is nice. the friendly staff get to know your names. The port talks were interesting and well-Dione, and the educational lectures enriched the journey. The excursion options are broad — there are many to choose from, and always one is included in the price of the cruise. ...

We always wanted to make a trip to Europe to visit all the beautiful countries we’ve only heard about. This was a lifetime trip for us and we heard such good things about Viking from friends and coworkers. We choose Viking because they were able to handle every aspect of the trip from point A to Z. Since we never traveled this far to countries outside of the US we felt safe in allowing Viking plan ...

The ship is beautiful. There are lounges scattered throughout with books, historical items, games and puzzles. Afternoon tea is fabulous. The Explorer’s Lounge was our favorite spot. The covered pool was very nice. The food was good, but there was not a lot variety. It seemed to be the same menu in the regular restaurant and the buffet and nearly everything repeated very night. Manfredi’s was ...
