VIP is the Way To Go - We chose the VIP option for this excursion because of the reviews that I read. We loved the special treatment we received from the crew. Special lounge area with comfortable sofas and lounge chairs. Personal service for drinks, snacks, and meals. Skip the line for everything. The alternative is to travel and eat with a mass of people. I was a little bit skeptical about paying so much more for the VIP. Food, Drinks and tours are included. Not so in the regular seatings.

See above - The organization was excellent and the attention aboard as the visits with guides were very good. The islands are beautiful and time was enough to know a part or good part of them.

A great tour to see the beauty of Greece - My travel agent booked this tour for us and I didn't know what to expect. Once we arrive on the ship we upgraded to VIP and choose the private cabin. It was well worth the money and made the trip extremely comfortable for my family. The staff was amazing and extremely attentive and accommodating. Renia ensured that we were well taken care of. Another staff member, Eric (I think) was very helpful and another one made sure we were ok at our ports. Georgiana was an extremely detailed and informative tour guide at 2 of the ports. I was amazed at how well she could speak multiple languages. The island of Hydra was beautiful and my daughter and MIL enjoyed a donkey ride. Porros was a short stop, but the views from the clock tower were breath taking and finally Aegina was so cute and the pistachios were delicious. This trip was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. I recommend it, but highly recommend the VIP option for a more comfortable day.

Ideal Island Hopping Day Cruise - This was an excellent experience. The crew really took care of us, especially Renia! Seeing all three islands with knowledgeable tour guides was lovely. Then, you get to come back to a beautiful boat and relax between stops. Highly recommend! For reference, my parents are 58 and 65, I’m 36. We all enjoyed it.

VIP Experience Most Excellent - We had an amazing day from start to finish - the VIP experience is absolutely worthwhile, with Reina and Alex making our day easy, relaxing, and so memorable. Truly lovely people who made our time in the magical Aegean even more magical. Highly recommend. Our two teen boys raved about the day. Thank you!

Little extra- so awesome - This was such a fun day trip. Annie, Virginia and Katerina were wonderful and I highly recommend the VIP lounge. Totally worth it.

Great Day and Service! - We took the VIP excursion on board the Cosmos and it was wonderful. Luxurious VIP cabin with comfortable loungers, a full bar and excellent bartender—Kostas—and great service the entire trip. Had a fabulous sit down lunch and plenty of snacks. We took the walking tours at both Hydra and Aegina, which were well worth the time. Finally, a shout out to Katerina, Virginia, Anny and Kostas who ensured we had a great day. In closing we had a great time in a comfortable, relaxing environment. Do the VIP, you won’t regret it.

Awesome - Staff was amazing very friendly, helpful and polite. Highly recommend this trip to see the islands. Great views and very interesting, Hostess was wonderful and very helpful. Shop on board had great prices and service. The buffet was a nice touch! Thank you for a lovely day!

Great …….but - Service in VIP was worth the money. Costas and Madonna were exceptional! We spent almost seven hours on the water going place to place and only spent about 30 min in Poros and an hour in Hydra. Your of Aegina was not worth it because we were in the bus more than seeing two places. Overall good experience but would recommend two islands and more time at each!

Athen day cruises - The staff on the minute that I met them ignored my first question. I asked if the boat had enough room because it didn’t look crowded and the officer that was greeting. The guest shook his head and walked away and wouldn’t answer the question. The ship is very old probably from the 70s and looks like it’s remodeled in the 90s but not touch since. The upholstery and the floors were really dirty and it had a musty smell. When we found our seats, we looked at the table and it was full of stains like it hadn’t been wiped down for a long time. He sat when we were off to the first island. Their staff came out to sell excursions to different places, and then they started arguing in front of the guest, you could tell that they were really mad even though I couldn’t understand them. You feel like they’re giving orders to the guests, I asked one girl that works in the boat by and she didn’t know why she was pointing me in direction. After the first island we found that we were really bored and we didn’t get off on the second one they did serve lunch. But we noticed when they were loading the food for the guest at the containers that they put the food in were dirty. The first officer would answer my question at the very start of this cruise, avoiding me. So sat on the cruise and uncomfortable chairs and dirty. I watch a girl from the boutique, not work at her station and flirt with the bartender and never really working at all. She mostly flirting with the other staff to avoid work. It looked like. Yes that was an opinion. There were two staff members on the business deck worked really hard, being cheerful and helping the guest. The bartender blew his nose and cleaned up his face with his hands and proceeded to serve drinks. This was really gross. The end of the cruise officer that I had talked to goes behind the bar and starts, touching all the food with his hands and eating it. I talked to a person who said he was the officers boss. The officer saw me go to this person who I assume was a captain and I begin to complain. The first officer denied everything and told me that he can only help one person at a time. I was the last person to get on the ship, and he never asked me or help me with my question. He just walked away. I told Catherine about the ladies arguing and a girl not in the boutique and the bartender that didn’t wash his hands and he knew I was upset. His response was make a complaint. I’m doing better than that. I’m letting you know that the people on this cruise don’t care about people they’re helping and the ship is really old and outdated. Look for another cruise ship. I hope they read this. I know they’ll know it’s me. It’s a waste of $400 or €360.
