What’s included in these prices?
Everything that makes the day: round-trip hotel transportation, a meal cooked fresh on board (BBQ chicken, shrimp, pasta, salads, Greek appetizers), Santorini wine, beer and soft drinks, snorkeling equipment, towels, the crew, fuel, insurance and port fees. There is no fuel surcharge and no tipping requirement — extras end at the gangway.
Why do prices differ between operators?
Deck space per guest, food cooked aboard versus catering trays, crew size, and vessel upkeep are the honest variables. When a cruise is dramatically cheaper, one of those four is usually where the money went. Our approach is published capacity comfort — decks kept comfortable, never packed — and a kitchen that cooks.
Semi-private vs private: the math
Two travelers: semi-private wins (€160 by day or €190 at sunset vs €1,200). Six travelers: €480 by day or €570 at sunset semi-private vs €1,200 private — €105 to €120 per person buys the whole boat and a flexible route. From seven up, private pricing (+€100 per extra guest) usually beats anything else per head. Full comparison in this guide.
