"From the 4\/07\/2025 -11\/07\/2025, we had the privilege and pleasure of sailing on the Harmony V on the \u201cClassical Greece \u201c cruise. \r\nThis is the second time we have cruised with Variety. Imagine our delight when we recognized Captain Andreas Sifniotis as our Captain once again. \r\nEvery aspect of the cruise was handled superbly. The Captain\u2019s attention to the safety of all on board, \u00a0his leadership of the crew , his accessibility and friendly, caring communication with all the passengers and most of all, his unbelievable ability to make each and everyone feel special. This is indeed a rare skill. \r\nHis amazing spirit of professionalism, kindness, and service is continued in his entire crew. \r\nThe officers, engineers and sailors were wonderful and the passengers felt cared for and comfortable even when the winds were strong and the sea rocking and rolling.\r\nDuring swim stops, we felt secure and confident as the crew kept watching out for us. \r\nThis also true embarking and disembarking the ship at all stops. \r\nThe hotel manager, Anand is outstanding. He \u00a0took constant care that every aspect of the \u201chotel\u201d on board was five star all the time. From the delicious, varied meals ( Compliments to the Chefs Alameldin and Ziad), to the excellent housekeeping services, \u00a0Amalia and Rina. Valeria at the Bar, and the excellent dining room team, Kavi and Made,- All were wonderful, attending to every need. \r\nWe all felt like royalty!\r\nSophia was terrific as the cruise co-ordinator ,making sure everyone was well advised as to what to do and see, and where to go on each island that we visited., and organizing excursions for the passengers who desired. \r\nThe authentic \u00a0Cretan dancing was lively and fun and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the daily briefings. \r\nWe would like to thank Captain Andreas, his crew and everyone concerned at Variety cruises for this outstanding holiday. We really appreciate the thought, planning, organization and execution that resulted in our best cruise ever."

“I came to Micasr.com after exhausting every other option. Unlike the others, they truly understood my problem from the start. They communicated clearly, acted quickly, and delivered meaningful results. Their help wasn’t ordinary support — it was a lifeline during a difficult moment.”

“Last year, I had the pleasure of spending a wonderful week aboard the yacht "Galileo" from July 11th to 18th, visiting several stunning Cycladic islands. I loved the format of this cruise, the itinerary and schedule of which allowed guests to explore the unique nature, history, and sights of these islands, including amazing places accessible only by sea. The crew's friendliness, care, and professionalism, along with the comfort, amenities, and excellent food, created everything necessary for a truly relaxing vacation on board. Many thanks to the entire team and, especially, to our tour manager, Katerina. Unfortunately, the weather, as it did during the time of Odysseus, played havoc, and we were unable to visit the islands of Delos and Mykonos. However, we did visit the island of Aegina, and I had the opportunity to see its magnificent Temple of Athena Aphaia again. I would like to point out how much has been done to improve the temple grounds over the past year. Therefore, I have every reason to repeat this cruise, and the itinerary will not be a repeat of the previous one. Perhaps the only thing missing and what I would like to see from the company's management is the option of sailing at least a short section of the route on the yachts "Galileo" and "Panorama." This would give cruise participants the opportunity to experience all the charm of a sailing yacht trip. I hope to spend a week aboard one of your yachts this year as well – I'm currently choosing the route and dates for the cruise.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day cruise through the Cycladic Islands. The Captain and his crew were all welcoming and attentive throughout the cruise. When the sailing was delayed due to rough seas the first night, the crew hosted an in port dance party on the middeck. It was a chance to get to know the other 34 passengers and set the tone for the trip.”

“Coming onboard Galileo was like meeting up with old friends again. The captain and crew were so welcoming and attentive. I was apprehensive about taking the Jewel of the Cyclades cruise as a solo traveller but I need not have worried. I had a wonderfui time; visited the beautiful islands and sights; and made new friends from USA and Australia.”

“Just returned from an amazing Seychelles cruise with Variety Cruises, and it was an experience to remember! Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the service was beyond expectations. Captain Ehab and his crew were fantastic—professional, welcoming, and always ensuring a smooth and safe journey. From the moment we stepped onboard, we felt well taken care of. Safety was clearly a priority, yet everything was handled so seamlessly that we could just relax and enjoy. The food was exceptional! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, offering a perfect mix of local and international cuisine. The chef and the team made sure every dish was not just delicious but also presented with care. The swim stops were unreal—hidden beaches, turquoise waters, and incredible snorkeling spots. Every location felt carefully selected to showcase the best of the Seychelles. A big shoutout to the housekeeping team for maintaining an incredibly high standard of cleanliness. Cabins were refreshed twice a week, always spotless and inviting. This cruise was an absolute dream—personalized, luxurious, and filled with unforgettable moments. A huge thank you to the entire Variety Cruises team for making this such a special experience!”
