Impressions
2007 sailings... “Ship and crew were fantastic! Good food, good cheer, good dancing, good fun ! Great experience all around! Thank you so much! “S.M “The islands are gorgeous –Kea and Santorini were my favorites. The crew was ever so pleasant –the experience was personal & more intimate than a large ship. Great food & Dimitri was very helpful. The crew was great and the food delicious. Had a wonderful time.”C. “Everything in this trip – the islands, the sailing , the friendly and helpful crew – has exceeded our expectations. While the islands keep only a vestige of their past glory, they are still astounding.And the experience of sailing in a beautiful ship through the blue sea is something w’ll always remember. Thank you all so much for making it possible.” “Thank you – Thank you! Thisis a wonderful boat! It is a beautiful, comfortable, a really nice size-35 people – when in port with the huge tourist ship we feel very lucky. The food was fantastic, the service divine. I enjoyed meeting Vilma, Eleni, Alex, Nikos, Angeliko, Dionysios and Capt. Dimitrios. The other too. Thank you Capt.fFor dancing. Oh, Elilio the cook. The aesthetics of the boat matched that of the Cyclades islands and my expectations. The wood, the marble. The decks were great for dancing .I’m so glad I’ll be back in a week. I’ve run out of words.” “Thank you for a most memorial cruise! This is a lovely boat with a wonderful, friendly crew .The sail through these beautiful islands with sparkling blue seas has been like a wonderful dream! “The weather was perfect, the boat delightful and the crew was just excellent. We had a truly memorable time.” ..........Every other trip I’ve bee on, I wanted to go home after 3 days. No so this time. It has been great. Thanks. “This is the ideal way to see the Greek islands. The best features of the H&B1 is the fantastic hard-working but always smiling crew. From the captain to deckhand all worked hard so that we passengers should enjoy a great trip. “This trip has helped me fulfill one of my dreams. Greece has always been what I thought was an unreachable dream. Now I have been able to do what I dreamed – and to travel on a boat. That made the dream become even more real.” 2006 sailings... This week aboard the H&B1 has been a wonderful experience as M and I had no experience in which to …our expectations; so we were open to whatever we got. Among 22 passengers we have made friends. We love the crew from Captain George all the way to the lower ranks. Pavlos inspired dancing at every possible occasion. The cook was mighty fine. Each member of the crew made a special effort to us that our new experience was the best possible. We will never try a big cruise ship, favoring the intimacy of the H&B1. To each of the crew we give our warm thanks, especially our leader Manos, who shepherded us around the islands and gave history lessons. We look forward to making this experience again and gain. “Thank you for making our honey moon extra special. We had a wonderful trip” “This was a wonderful experience! We hope to repeat it sometime. Thanks for everything!" G&J B. Canada “Fantastic trip, fantastic crew! Kudes to the cook too. Who needs dinner after one of his lunches? “ We are very pleased to have found Viking Yacht Cruises on www..... We had searched many a site and contacted a lot of cruise lines.No success. But I did not give up! I found this jewel of a site. Thanks a million. Kristina and the crew surprised L and I, she announced that we would be staying in the "Master Cabin" The berth was spacious; beautiful! The views from the windows were fantastic! We felt so special! The crew members were great & attended to all our needs. The length of time we spent on each island was almost perfect! We would have enjoyed a couple more hours in Delos. L and I loved the history, museums & scenery. The length of the cruise is just perfect. Not too long or short! The food was great! We really enjoyed all of the meals. We really don't have a favorite island, however the hot spring on Syros was out of this world. We would recommend this cruise to everyone and anyone.Perfect month to travel. The weather was awesome. Thanks to everyone from the honeymooners. Didn’t know what to expect. The cruise has been wonderful, beautiful experience that will be a treasure in our book of memories! The crew has been exceptionally outstanding in its services –including everyone!! . Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! This is our first trip to Greece and the island cruise has been wonderful. We enjoyed sampling various islands and all that each had to offer. The sea was more beautiful than we expected and the water was so clear and refreshing. Leaving all the traveling details to you was the best way to go! Unforgettable, sincerely wonderful experience, especially "surfing" at the front of the boat in a 7 wind. The sea, the sunbathing on the deck, the islands.....everything. The crew was great, with special mention to our favorites, Kostas and Pavlos, a great professional and a great human being. We will surely try to repeat one of these year!! thought it may not be possible to have the privilege of the Master Cabin (Viking was a great agent) “Many thanks to all the crew for all your super attention and service! We had a tremendous trip! We have had a wonderful and enriching time aboard the H&B1. From our first moments aboard until the end the crew has treated us like family. THey have shared their enthusiasm and joy of life. Opening our eyes to the Greek island life which is filled with great food, warm water, good wines and wonderful friends -Pavlos, Kostas, Manos and the rest of the crew, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your have shared and tought us. We have experiences to treasure always. “Fantastic trip, fantastic crew! Kudes to the cook too. Who needs dinner after one of his lunches? “ My experience on this trip has been wonderful. I feel that the friendliness and enthousiasm of the crew welcomed me into the Greek culture. Our tour of the islands was perfectly timed and left me wanting to come back another time. I truly enjoyed this trip and all the crew did for us. I thought that the food was trully authentic Greek and alawys good.I also enjoyed the intimacy of being on a small ship with a small amount of people I feel this is the only way to see the Greek islands.
