This cruise exceeded our expectations. We booked the VIP package and it was great value. We were picked up at our hotel promptly and then escorted on to the ship straight away. The VIP lounge was great, we had two sofas to ourselves and the lounge was really spacious, it was a great place to relax. We were served coffee and snacks. The first stop was Hydra this was a lovely island, with many shops and great views. When we got back to the ship we were served a sit down 3 course lunch, we then had time to relax before arriving in Poros. We went up to the top of the clock tower in Poros and the views were magnificent. On returning to the ship the bar was open for drinks and snacks. Alcoholic drinks were available for a reasonable price. The final Island Aegina was larger than the other islands and we took the free tour, that was enjoyable. Overall it was a very full day, but the VIP package really made the difference. We were first on and off the boat at all the islands and we were treated very well. Special mention to Katerina who did a magnificent job looking after us. The whole team were great.Dee_C

Because I knew we would be seeing the larger islands on our 14-Day Mediterranean Cruise with Regent Seven Seas, I wanted to book a day cruise on a small boat to see some smaller Greek islands. I booked the VIP Day Cruise from Athens to Hydra to Poros to Aegina on Viator. The small cruise is operated by Evermore Cruises on the Cosmos ship. The VIP portion of the cruise gives you access to the VIP Lounge. This is a very comfortable, private lounge that serves drinks, snacks and lunch. There were no more and 6 couples on this trip in a lounge that could have easily handled 5 times this. I was able to go from port to starboard sides of the ship to get the best views, with no concern of infringing on other passengers. Lunch was good, and drinks were plentiful - unlimited coffee, water, soda, juices - extra for wine and spirits. The VIP experience also gives you priority embarkation and disembarkation for all ports. It was an upgrade that I definitely found had great value - especially when I saw the crowds on the decks below, queuing in line to get on and off board. The service was impeccable, with a wait staff dedicated to this VIP Lounge. VIP service also included transportation from our hotel to the cruise port, and the return from cruise port to our hotel. I would highly recommend the VIP upgrade.Dorothy_M

We had the VIP package. It was very crowded so I was great full for the less crowded VIP lounge. Kostos took great care of us.

Well organised tour, Niko the pick up/drop off driver was really helpful and interested in our time in Athens. The VIP area of the boat was well maintained, good air conditioning, lovely helpful staff and food/drinks were great. The stops at the islands in our personal preference were almost right, a bit more time in Hydra would have been lovely, but again that’s our personal opinion. Really enjoyed the tour, worth the bit extra to go VIP.Monica_W

VIP was worth every penny. We had our own air conditioned lounge and were let off the boat ahead of the other 500 passengers at each port. Beautiful picturesque ports and plenty of time to explore.
