was recently voted number one boutique cruise line worldwide by the influential USA TODAY, along with being named Best Small Ship Cruise Line in Greece by the travel magazine, Condé Nast and Top Small Ship Cruise Line by CruiseCritic, the online site. All the Variety vessels are classified as either Mega Yachts or Motor Sailers. Indeed, as soon as we went on board Voyager we felt that we had had entered the world of the super-rich, without the wallet to go with that tag of course! Seriously, we were blown away by the decor, the surprisingly spacious cabins, the level of service from the helpful and friendly staff, as well the quality of our lunch and the wines served with it. However, what impressed us most was both the maintenance of the vessel - clearly the crew take a great deal of pride in their ship - and the amount of outside space for sunbathing, dining and entertainment. For its size, Variety seems a very spacious, open and airy ship. Although all the ships of the Variety fleet are unique and offer a true Mega
Yacht experience, without the price tag or large numbers of other guests, what particularly appeals to us as travel agents are the destinations that the ships visit. Of course, the size of the vessels means that whilst larger cruise ships are unable to enter that stunningly beautiful and deserted Greek Island cove, the Variety ships can, so you are able to swim from the vessel, explore an empty beach and even have that romantic sundowner without the crowds. Yet the educational heritage of the
“You will be pleasantly surprised to find that a Mega Yacht holiday doesn’t cost ‘mega bucks”
Variety Line means that we were also impressed by the onshore excursions on offer. Take one example, the ‘Greece from Antiquity to Byzantium’ cruise onboard the vessel Galileo. This eight day Athens to Athens cruise visits such historic sites as Delphi, Olympia and
Mycenae, as well as a transit through the spectacular Corinth Canal. Away from Greece, Variety cruise along the coastlines of Croatia and Montenegro, Cape Verde, Cuba, The Seychelles, Costa Rica and Panama, West Africa, The Canary Islands and Iceland. Whatever destination you maybe
considering, I would urge you to consider Variety Cruises for a truly unique cruise experience combining small ship luxury and wonderful itineraries. As local agents for Variety, we pride ourselves on our high level of personal service and customer care. Do call us, we think you will be pleasantly surprised to find that a Mega Yacht holiday doesn’t cost ‘mega bucks’, and remember there is a cruise holiday, and, more importantly, a cruise line for everyone.
