Beautiful 3 Islands Cruise - It was amazing visiting all three islands! The Athens Day Cruise was a great way to do this! The staff were super helpful and attentive! Even though I wished we had more time on the islands it was a great way to know which one I would visit again! Aegina was the largest, and I loved the Aphaia Ruins and visiting the monastery, one of the most beautiful churches! Hydra was probably my favorite! No cars, everyone walks or rides miles, lovely port! It was a long day, but well worth it!

Wonderful full day trip! - It was a beautiful day with cool air in the morning and evening but perfect as you hopped between the islands. Everyone was very kind, happy and accommodating.

On-board entertainment is worth it - Pros: - convenient way to explore some of the islands - excellent on-board entertainment and food (I had VIP tickets) - friendly staff - options to do this without spending a lot of money (VIP includes one on shore excursion) especially if you decide to explore the islands on your own - hotel pick up and drop off Cons: - if you use an assistive device (i.e., wheelchair), the cobblestones on the islands are difficult to maneuver - if you use an assistive device (i.e., wheelchair), consider skipping the walking tour of Hydra. The guide said she'd go slow so that my group (one person in a wheelchair) could keep up; but we ended up losing the group after the second stop. - Walking tour of Hydra and panoramic tour of Aegina had heavy religious overtones and discussion of the famous people who visited the islands. - only 40 mins - 1 hours on shore for each island; if you do a tour, it will take almost all of this time

Worth the money, clean cruise and good food. - In 12 hours, you’ll get to see three islands which is great. 1-1.30 hours per island, which is enough if you just want to walk around and visit the cafés and markets. If you want to spend time in the churches and museums the time might not be enough. The cruise offers tours on the islands - only Aegina is worth it for the view and one church. The other two are unnecessary. Cruise is clean and convenient. The port is most easily accessed by cab from the closest metro or from your stay. Food on board is tasty and appropriately priced. The crew will keep trying to sell you stuff - photographs that they’ll take of you, VIP lounge, stuff from their store and different tours. VIP lounge is not worth it and you can get the stuff from the store on the islands at a cheaper price. Overall good experience. Worth the money.

Overall good but they need to ditch the broadcast of selling extra tours on the islands, improve the food - Aside from the lunch this was a good trip. The excursions that are on the islands were an annoying surprise, they talk over a terrible microphone trying to sell you these extras so that was not a great thing. Hand out a flyer, don’t broadcast commercials while we are trying to enjoy the cruise. Other than that, good staff, amazing views, islands

Not for the faint hearted. - Unfortunately, not as described and not for the faint hearted. We weren't advised that the hotel pick up was actually 1 hour earlier than advised on the booking confirmation (8am actually turned out to be 7am). We felt pressured into gathering our things together for the day and weren't able to grab any breakfast before leaving. At the port, it busy and boarding the cruise ship was a little chaotic. The ship was delayed leaving Athens, which made the early morning rush, completely unnecessary. On board, the facilities were good and the staff friendly and attentive, but it was only halfway to our first port of call - Hydra that we realised that the tour price was just the tip of the iceberg. In order to get the most out of the 3 island visits, you needed to spend another 80-odd Euros to take part in a very short walking tour and a twilight coach trip from Aegina in a bus with tinted windows - passengers got to see next to nothing! We were taken to a lovely Cathedral which was undergoing extensive building work (again, rather pointless). There was also a significant delay entering the final port of Aegina with no explanation, which meant the sun was already going down. The buffet lunch was sub-standard, the drinks were extra and the trip was unecessarily long (over 13 hours). A further delay returning to Athens seemed to be more about selling food and drinks rather than giving passengers the choice of getting back to port after a very long day. Not recommended for families with small children (they won't last the course); some adults will struggle.

Don’t take this. Spend money and go to one island. - Lack luster rush job of putting you in islands for too short of time. This really was a bad version of the bare minimum. I felt cheated.
