| There are literally dozens of Greek cruise lines offering a myriad of cruise options, and of course it would be extremely difficult to make any attempt at listing them all here. Therefore, we have chosen a number of the better known cruise lines and perhaps one or two which may be new to you. If you need any help in making your choice, or finding something more specific to your requirements, please complete the form at the bottom of the page and we will glad to be of help. Alternatively, you may want to consider a cruise on either a mid-size ship, a large ship or even some kind of sailing ship with a much more different kind of Greek cruise line. Have a good mooch around before deciding on which Greek cruise line you would like to cruise with ! | |||

| Seabourn's small luxury ships attract sophisticated, well-travelled passengers who are used to a high level of service and elegant surroundings.

| Louis Cruise Line LOUIS HELLENIC CRUISES 2 Nikis & 3-5 Karagiorgi Servias Street 10563 Syntagma – Athens Tel.: + 30 210 3214980 Fax.: + 30 210 3214937 www.louiscruises.com
| Louis started operating short cruises out of Limassol, Cyprus to the Eastern Mediterranean from the 80's, a programme that is still in force. Over the years it has evolved and expanded its cruise programmes. I suppose you could say it truly is a Greek cruise line. Today with a fleet of 13 cruise ships the company also operates cruises from the ports of Genoa and Marseilles to the West Mediterranean, North Africa as well as to the Eastern Mediterranean. From the port of Piraeus, Louis Hellenic Cruises sails to the Aegean islands and the East Mediterranean. Louis Hellenic cruises was founded in 2004 and led to the revival of the Greek Cruise Line Industry. Four of the cruise ships, namely 'M/V Thomson Destiny', 'M/V Thomson Spirit', S/S The Emerald and 'M/V The Calypso' are chartered to Thomson Cruises of TUI Travel plc. who offer Greek cruise line cruises to the UK market. Its strategic alliances with the leading Tour Operators have significantly strengthened the position of Louis Cruise Lines, as a leading player in European Cruising. All ships are refurbished and upgraded continuously to mantain the highest standards of quality and service. The high standard of services offered attracts governments and international organizations to use the ships as floating hotels for major international events. For example, Louis ships were used for high profile events such as Head of States, G8 meeting, the International Exhibition in Lisbon and the NATO conference in Naples. | ||
| Silversea Cruise Line Silversea Cruises 110 East Broward Boulevard Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301 Phone: 954-522-4477 800-722-9955 Fax: 954-522-4499 http://www.silversea.com
| Silversea passengers are from around the world, with about half from the United States, one fourth from other English-speaking countries, and one fourth from elsewhere. Most passengers are well-traveled, interesting, and outgoing, and many are repeat Silversea cruisers. Although many passengers are over 50, there always seems to be a few young professionals on board. The Silversea cruise ships are small, ultra-luxury, elegant and sophisticated. However, the atmosphere is relaxed and congenial and the staff really seem to love their jobs. The all-inclusive nature, personalized service, and luxurious surroudings are so low-key that it often seems you are sailing on your own personal voyage (with a few hundred friends). N.B. Whilst several Silversea Cruises leave the Greek port of Piraeus to other destinations none actually sail the islands. | ||
