Setting Sail on a Dream

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that can create lasting memories for families. When I heard about the Mermaid Cruise in Protaras, I knew it was something my family had to try. The idea of a magical cruise with mermaids, pirates, and Tinkerbell was too enchanting to resist. So, we packed our bags and headed to the beautiful shores of Cyprus, ready for an adventure that promised to be as magical as it sounded.

The day of the cruise was filled with excitement. As we boarded the Medusa Cruises ship, the kids’ eyes widened with wonder. The boat was beautifully decorated, and the staff greeted us with warm smiles. We set sail, and the adventure began with a delightful storytime session with Tinkerbell. Her enchanting tales had the kids captivated, and even I found myself drawn into the magical world she described.

A Pirate’s Treasure and Mermaid Magic

The highlight of the cruise was undoubtedly the treasure hunt led by Billy Bones the pirate. His lively personality and humorous antics had the kids giggling and eagerly searching for hidden treasures around the boat. It was a joy to see my children, along with others, working together, their imaginations running wild as they followed clues and solved puzzles.

But the real magic happened when we reached Cape Greco, where the mermaids awaited. My daughter was absolutely mesmerized as Coral and Luna, the mermaids, swam gracefully in the crystal-clear waters. They interacted with the children, sharing stories of their underwater adventures and even claiming to be cousins with Ariel! My daughter’s eyes sparkled with excitement, and she couldn’t wait to dive in and swim with them. It was a dream come true for her, and a moment I knew she would cherish forever.

Memories to Last a Lifetime

As the cruise continued, we passed by stunning locations like Fig Tree Bay and the Agioi Anargyroi Chapel. The views were breathtaking, and the atmosphere on the boat was filled with joy and laughter. The staff was exceptional, always attentive and ready to entertain the kids with games and face painting.

The cruise ended with a dance party on the deck, where families joined in, dancing and celebrating the magical day we had experienced. As we disembarked, my heart was full, knowing that we had created beautiful memories together. The Mermaid Cruise was more than just an activity; it was an unforgettable experience that brought our family closer together.

If you’re planning a trip to Cyprus, I highly recommend this enchanting cruise. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, magic, and family bonding that will leave you with stories to tell and memories to treasure.
