Incredible day trip with VIP Cabin and Renia as our host!

Excellent Day Cruise to Hydra, Poros & Aegina We had a wonderful experience on the ship. We met Renia after boarding and she told us about upgrading to the VIP Cabin Suite. This changed the trip so much because of everything included. A private bathroom to shower after swimming, a place to take a cool, quiet nap and wonderful couches to hang out on. Plus this included a chef prepared lunch which was out of this world, wonderful drinks from our bartender and all the tours on each island. Renia was an incredible host and guide. She was so fun and knew so much about everything we were going to see. She really made the day trip an enjoyable experience. This excursion was our most favorite activity while in Athens. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable way to experience the Saronic Islands in a single day. Do the upgrade, you won't be sorry!!! Thank you to Renia and the entire team for a fantastic day!! Brook, Blase, Justin, Macreena, and Curtis June 2026

A day in the Greek sun…

It was a great day touring the 3 islands, seeing more of the beauty of Greece. Very relaxing, the food was great and the staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable!!! Georgina was great and really on top of things. It is a great value for the money and a great way to see a bit more of the beauty of Greece.

Spiros was awesome

Enjoyed a relaxing three island cruise, wish we had more time at stops. The food was very good, served buffet-style. The best part was the kind staff, Spiros in particular. He took care of us with beverages and getting on and off the ship (I have mobility issues with steps). The entertainment was fun and we really enjoyed it - Hydra was our favorite.

Best service and value for moneys

I was a solo female traveller from Australia and had an amazing day. The crew are absolutely amazing and the efficiency of the team - like no other. The cruise ran like a well oiled engine (a shame Greeces trains didn’t!). A shout out to the customer service team, which rebooked me for the very next day as my train broke down and I missed the boat the previous day. I also did not lose my deposit which meant a lot, and they were entitled to it. An extra special shout out to the tour coordinator Georgia! Top 10 service (and I was not VIP). She looked after me with my tours. Exceptionally knowledgeable, in all aspects of history mythology and geography. I found a soul sister! Best value for money all round. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent Day Cruise to the Greek Saronic Islands!!

Day Cruise to Hydra, Poros & Aegina We had a wonderful experience on the VIP One Day Cruise from Athens to Hydra, Poros, and Aegina. From the moment we boarded, everything was well organized, comfortable, and professional. The VIP Cabin Suite was worth it, providing a relaxing and comfortable space throughout the day. The itinerary was excellent, giving us enough time to enjoy each island's unique character. Hydra's beautiful harbor, Poros' charm, and Aegina's history and scenery. A special thank you to our guide, Renia, who was outstanding. She was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure everyone felt welcome and informed throughout the journey. Her professionalism and positive attitude added greatly to our overall experience. The crew was courteous, the vessel was clean and well maintained, and the entire day ran smoothly. This cruise was one of the highlights of our visit to Greece, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable way to experience the Saronic Islands in a single day. Thank you to Renia and the entire team for a fantastic day!! Andrew and Martha Collins

Do NOT recommend Athens Day Cruise

We used a private tour guide that book Athens Day Cruise. I would NOT recommend this establishment unless you want to be packed on a ship for 7 hours. The stops were short and we spend the majority of the time cruising. We were also refused the VIP lounge despite paying for the tickets. Overall experience was extremely negative.

A great day out with Reina and the Evermore team

Wow what a great day and all thanks to Renia. If you want a fantastic day speak to Renia and let her work her magic. Great boat, great people and great locations to visit. The cultural tour off the boat was amazing and swimming in Hydra a great memory

Not good value for money.

Hydra, Poros & Aegina Cruise from Athens | Official Operator Kallithea Would be okay if more reasonably priced - time spent on the boat is excessive 1038225481 I came into the 3 island tour with my disabled mother who is ambulant and can work short distances. Staff did try their best to be helpful. Most of the staff are lovely but in all honesty I do think the drinks are a bit expensive. I feel they could do a discount drinks package. They charge $4.50 for Pepsi max that can you buy cold from a shop for 88 cents. Even tea is over 3 euros My issue is (yes we booked through l turbopass so got a fairly generous discount but the journey between islands takes 9 hours including coach transfers just so you can spend 3 hours across the islands . We didn't make it to Poros due to weather conditions and safety which I understand (it's November we took our chances). The pick up is included and is close to accomodation but for the price you pay they could afford to fork out on taxis rather than a cramped bus. I'd love to visit the individual islands again but economically I feel it's better to take a ferry. I feel ripped off and was disappointed . Hydra was great to snorkel , Aegina was picturesque. Yes they do try to break up the journey with Greek dancing and a dj but at this point I was exhausted and just couldn't engage. Ended up spending half the boat trip asleep. It feels like there's a lack of transparency in terms of add ons at every opportunity arc when you board they try to take a photo (I refused - I'm autistic and hate having photos taken) . You also have to pay extra €€ for tours (we knew about this in advance.) But I feel it’s a lot of money for something that isn’t worth it. The food was stunning and plenty of ice for drinks but seriously consider is it worth it ? I'd say no. Also the coach driver dropping me off at end of excursion nearly hit me whilst I walked across the road when the green man was on - cherry on top really.

It was an ok kind of ride. Nothing great. The ship was not comfortable nor luxurious. There was more people in the ship and it looked cramped with little moving ave
