Itinerary

Your experience begins with pickup from your hotel and transfer to the departure port (typically Vlychada). After boarding the luxury Lagoon 560 catamaran, you’ll sail along Santorini’s southern coastline, passing dramatic volcanic formations and heading toward Red Beach for your first swim stop.

The cruise continues to White Beach, where you’ll have time to swim, snorkel or relax onboard, followed by a stop near the volcanic hot springs for a unique swimming experience in warmer mineral waters. As you sail through the caldera, enjoy panoramic views of the island’s cliffs and villages while the crew prepares a fresh BBQ meal served onboard.

In the final part of the journey, relax on deck with a drink in hand as the boat positions for the sunset, offering one of the most memorable views in Santorini before returning to port and transfer back to your accommodation.

Who is this experience best for

This cruise is ideal for travellers seeking a premium Santorini experience that combines scenery, relaxation and social atmosphere.

Insider notes

This is one of the highest-rated Santorini cruises (around 4.8/5 with over 1,000 reviews) and is often described as a trip highlight due to the combination of scenery, crew service and overall experience.

Keep in mind that:

• Routes may vary depending on weather conditions

• Boats cannot dock directly on beaches, so swimming stops are offshore

• The hot springs are only slightly warmer than the sea

• Bringing swimwear, sunscreen and a light jacket for sunset is recommended

👉 From a concierge perspective: this is a top-tier, safe recommendation—a classic Santorini “must-do” that consistently delivers on experience, especially for luxury or romantic clients.
