Sailing with Variety Cruises to discover Greece


Variety Cruises is ready to start back up again and they have announced 3 new itineraries to discover Greece during the summer 2021 season.

Variety Cruises is a cruise company based in Athens, Greece and its fleet consists of 4 exclusive yachts and 8 other small cruise ships and sailing ships.
