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.
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.
The only additional charge you need to expect is the local port fees (80€ per person), which need to be paid upon arrival, in order to assure some basic operational needs for the cruise.
If you want to have your own private cabin, there will be an extra charge of 50% of the total amount of 1 person’s price.
Day 1
Zante

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, get to know your fellow travelers, while we have our welcome dinner, on board!
Note: In case that all of our guests are on board by 17:00 and weather conditions allow us to, we might cruise towards our 1st destination which is Agios Nikolaos.

On day six, we leave Meganisi behind and we will sail to Ithaca, which many people do not know about, as this beautiful Island is often “overshadowed” by its complex main Island, Kefalonia.
On the way to Ithaca, we might stop to Atokos Island, a private inhabited island, where wild pigs live freely on the island.
That said, we will enjoy our lunch onboard, as usual and we will look specifically for coastal relaxation at some of its many secluded bay coves, to anchor there and enjoy the beautiful Greek night sky!
