Yes, since the Greek Islands are within the borders of the European Union, they are subject to a visa requirement. If you do not have a valid Schengen visa or Green (Special) passport, you can join our tour with the convenience of the Greek Islands Visa on Arrival (110 € per person) without dealing with Schengen visa procedures. The document process for our guests who will benefit from the visa on arrival is handled by the intermediary visa consultancy company. Guests with a TRNC (Cyprus) entry stamp in their passport cannot enter Greece.
No, in accordance with international cruise travel standards, the ship crew service fee (service charge / tip) is not included in the tour package price. For all guests 12 years of age and older, a service fee of €12 per person per day for each day spent on board is charged to your onboard spending account during the trip.
Our guests are required to be present at Çeşme Cruise Terminal at least 3 hours before the ship's scheduled departure time (16:00) to complete baggage, customs, and check-in procedures. After the free time given on the islands, the ship's departure times from the port are announced via announcements and notice boards. If the guest misses the ship's departure time for personal reasons, all transfer and ticket expenses incurred in order to join the ship from the next port or to interrupt the trip and return are the guest's own responsibility.
Our Full Board concept includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in the ship's main restaurants, along with afternoon tea and midnight soup. During these meals, soft cold and hot drinks served by the glass are free. In addition, the minibar in the cabins is only stocked free of charge on the first day. However, à la carte restaurants, drinks taken from the bars throughout the day, and all alcoholic beverages preferred during meals are subject to an extra charge.
In accordance with cruise travel rules, and for the health of babies and the safety of the voyage, babies under 6 months old are not accepted on board. Pregnant guests are permitted to travel until the 24th week of pregnancy (up to the 28th week in twin pregnancies). However, it is mandatory to present an English doctor’s report stating “There is no objection to traveling,” obtained no later than 7 days before the flight or journey. In pregnancies beyond the 24th week, boarding will not be permitted even if a report is provided.
