It was great to see the Islands, but the ride in-between was long and noisey, however a beautiful view, and if you had a good seat you couldn't get up and do anything, otherwise your seat would be taken.

The tour was super nice!! I wish we were able to have a bit more time on each Island though. We spent 1 hour in Hydra, 40 minutes in Poros and 2 hours in Aegina. Especially for Poros 40 minutes wasn't enough time since most of the things to do there were about a 20 minute walk away. There seemed to be a bit more to do and see in Poros than Hydra so I would've rather we had more time in Poros than Hydra. The cruise company offered optional guided tours at an additional cost in Hydra and Aegina. There was a walking tour in Hydra and two different bus tours in Aegina (one historical tour and one Panoramic tour). We didn't opt for the tour of Hydra but we did do the one in Aegina. The tour of Aegina was helpful because since we were on a bus we were able to visit historical locations we wouldn't have been able to get to otherwise. The tour company offered a discounted student rate for tickets and historical tours in both English and Japanese (I'm not sure if Japanese is standard or if this was due to the languages spoken on board). The food onboard was very good, my friend and I are vegetarian and there were a lot of options for us (pasta, chickpeas, rice, potatoes, salad!) However, the listing that we booked off of said that soft drinks were included with our ticket and they were not. There were also alcoholic drinks available on board for purchase at reasonable prices. Overall a nice experience but I wish we had more time on some of the islands!

Service was excellent by all the staff. However the lunch could have been better. Also the lavatory facilities were very poor.

Hydra was beautiful and the pistachio in Aegina was delicious. Poros you would need more time as it’s all spread out a bit. Unfortunately we were joined by a 115-person group from USA which means all decks were full and the noise level was very high at all times as the majority of them were students.
