For the first day, as it is the arrival day, we won’t embark from the port, at least not until 17:00,

thus in case you have arrived prior to the embarkation and have some time left, we suggest you roam around Zante’s main port and enjoy some local Greek seafood, by one of the many local restaurants, located on the marina!

If you have plenty of time, be sure to check out the Byzantine Museum, as well, which is located in the heart of Zante’s main town, the national Marine Park and the famous Lagana Bay strip!

In the evening, we set off for Agios Nikolaos, while we have our welcome dinner, on board!


Note: On the rare occasion, of any late arrival or complication, the vessel will most probably won’t embark from Zante’s port on Saturday,

but on Sunday, instead!

Notes

This itinerary may need to CHANGE due to inclement weather conditions, difficulties at docking, or unforeseen circumstances. This decision will be made solely at your captain’s discretion, based on the safety of the group and the ship.


The ports we dock at, at Agios Nikolaos, Agia Efimia, Ithaca (Vathi), Fiskardo, Poros and Zante are public. The only exception, is Meganisi, since it has a private Marina.

That means, all ports, operate on a first-come, first-served basis. As a result, our Captains are not able to reserve a docking birth and so, the sooner we arrive at a port the more likely will we find availability, which In the end, cannot be guaranteed.


Standard Cabins

All our standard cabins besides, their comfortable mattresses, are ensuite with their own shower, a hair dryer, a wardrobe for storage, reading lights, their own individual A/C device and an electric fan!

Regarding our cabins, we do have a variety of doubles/twins (lower beds/bunk beds) and a few triples and quads, depending on your cruise package and demand.



Premium Cabins

Our premium cabins are available on the majority of our gulets, always subject to availability. By premium cabin we define cabins that have a separate shower box inside the wc and/or larger space available ( usually2/3 s.m.) from our standard ones. 

Usually they are located on the stern or the bow of the ship, making them slightly more isolated than the rest of the cabins onboard and they have better sound insulation that the rest since they are bigger.
