The Elixir Concept

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our cruise of the Cyclades was aboard Elixir Cruises. The smaller vessel allowed us to see parts of the Greek Islands we would have missed on a bigger boat. We had glorious swim stops each day, often at deserted beaches. The crew was warm, welcoming and friendly and took excellent care of the passenger. The food was delicious.

A dream cruise with a dream team. It was like being on a private yacht with a staff that is there to make you feel like royalty. Every attention brings you closer to nirvana. The food was great, the drinks reasonably priced and the excursions interesting.The destination is the boat and its people itself, along with a deep blue sea and bright sunshine.

My husband and I had a fabulous time on the Elysium. The crew made our trip a most memorable experience. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The ship is small enough to experience a personalized cruise and big enough to have space for relaxation and dining. The chef picked up fresh produce and seafood on each island and created delectable meals. This is by far the best way to tour the Greek Isles!

Where do I begin…what an amazing journey on this cruise. I highly recommend you try it. It was like having an incredible dream. The crew fantastic, food was always delicious and always very plentiful, drinks, daily journeys, experiences, massage is a must, the warmth the crew had given us, the friendships from around the world….WOW!!! I will never forget this trip and I plan to return with my family next year.

Last week we experienced an outstanding vacation aboard the M/S Gemaya. We took the route visiting many cyclades islands.  The service on board was outstanding. Our crew spoiled us with excellent food (Vassilios), fantastic service (Maria and Despina), two sailors who where always helpful (Muhamad and Sherif). And last but not least our Captain (Stefanos) who guide us safely through the whole trip. Five stars for this trip.

Incredible boat, incredible staff, incredible service and unmatched water, scenery and views! No crowds, no lines, no cattle-like schedules – it was an intimate, easy and a perfect blend of relaxation, exploration and fun. We will absolutely be back – bringing our friends with us! Thanks to the entire team from those you never see behind the scenes, on up to the owner – FIRST CLASS through and through!

Hands down, this was my favorite vacation so far. Did everything go perfectly? Nope. High winds forced our Cyclades itinerary to become an Ionian itinerary. We got to see places we’d never heard of and it was fantastic. We had an amazing time – we’d been trying to get to Greece for 9 years and are now thankful our 2020 trips were COVID cancelled and Elixir was founded in the meantime. We’ll be back for sure!
