    Do I have to charter the whole ship?
  No. Our cruises are sold by the cabin, just like the large ocean liners. However, groups may want to consider chartering our vessels. The Aegean Lady can be chartered at the price of US $ 3,950/day. If you are interested in chartering a Crewed Yacht or a Bare Boat, have a look at our sister company's web site, NEXUS YACHTS & CRUISES, or contact us for charter requests.

    What is the food like on board?
  The cuisine on board is sumptuous. Traditional Greek and local cuisine is comprised of lamb, beef, fish, shell fish, vegetables and cheese.
to top
    Are the cabins nice?
  Cabins are comfortable with private facilities and air conditioning. Don't look for enough room to play a good game of Twister, but you'll find the cabins cozy.

    Is there a pool on the yachts?
  No, you're sailing in it. Our cruises include swimming stops at some beautiful places, so you'll have time to swim in the warm waters.
to top
    Where do all the passengers come from?
  Our passengers come from all over the world. You're sure to meet some interesting people of different backgrounds.

    Can I bring my hair dryer and electric razor?
  Make sure to bring an adapter and converter for your international trip.
to top
    I am a single person, can you arrange a shared cabin for me?
  Yes, we can offer cabins on a share basis. We'll match you up with another person for you to share a twin bedded cabin. Since smoking is not permitted in the cabins, there's no need to worry about that. Plus, our guests come from all over the world, so chances are you make a new international friend.

    Do I have to work on board?
  No, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the islands. Our professional crew will do all of the work.
to top
    What does my cruise rate include?
  Your cruise rate includes your cabin, two meals daily (American breakfast and either lunch or dinner daily - depending on the itinerary) the Captain's dinner.
to top
    What will I have to bring?
  Unlike large ocean liners, we have no formal dress code. We do ask that during dinner (especially Captain's dinner) you wear neat clothing. During the day, T-shirts, shorts and swimsuits are fine. Shorts and skirts are perfect for island visits, though please keep in mind that long pants (and other "respectful" attire) is needed for visits to churches and monasteries. Make sure to bring sunscreen, camera and comfortable walking shoes, sneakers and the ever important hat to shade you from the strong sun. We suggest you pack your carry on luggage with toiletries, medications, travel documents, swim suit and at least one change of clothes.
to top
    Should I bring my jewelry?
  We suggest you leave your jewelry and other valuables at home, as there are no lockable compartments or safes in the cabins. However, any valuables can also be given to the Captain for safe keeping during the cruise.
to top
    How much time will I have ashore?
  Unlike many cruise lines, we only sail for an average of four hours daily, allowing for plenty of time ashore.
to top
    Will I get seasick?
  The Aegean is usually very calm, though you will sometimes encounter some rougher seas. Seasickness is normally more of a problem on the larger cruise ships since they cover more open waters. Our itineraries are shorter. However, if you are prone to seasickness, consult with your doctor or pharmacist on what to bring.
to top
    Do I need to convert money?
  We accept Euros and US $ on board.
to top
    Do you offer shore excursions?
  We offer shore excursions to the exciting and interesting places of interest on the islands. There is a minimum number of participants required for each of the shore excursions. All of the details will be given to you on board by our cruise director.
to top
    How much should I tip on board?
  How much of a tip you want to leave for the Captain and crew is up to you. We recommend approximately 5% of your cruise fare as a guideline for satisfied clients.
