Full description
  • Your spectacular day on the Mediterranean begins with a comfortable morning transfer from your hotel, bringing you directly to our exclusive vessel. Promptly at 10:00 AM, our fully licensed captain and certified crew will welcome you aboard as we set sail on our tranquil river cruise. Gliding along the scenic waterways, you will enjoy a peaceful atmosphere before arriving at the magnificent delta. This breathtaking natural wonder is where the freezing, refreshing fresh water of the river meets the warm, salty embrace of the sea. Here, we anchor for our first major swimming break, giving you the extraordinary chance to experience both unique aquatic environments simultaneously.

    While you are working up an appetite in the refreshing waters of the delta, our dedicated team will be busy preparing a delicious onboard lunch. Dining on the deck surrounded by stunning natural vistas provides a truly unforgettable culinary experience. After lunch, the anchor is raised, and our maritime adventure transitions from the calm river to the vast open sea. We will cruise smoothly along the beautiful coastline, heading towards the historic shores of Side. The journey offers spectacular panoramic views of the region, eventually leading us to our next breathtaking destination: the famous Caretta Bay. Known for its crystal-clear waters and as a natural habitat for Caretta Caretta sea turtles, this bay provides the perfect setting for our second major swimming break.

    As the afternoon sun begins to lower, our boat transforms into a vibrant floating entertainment venue for the journey back to the pier. You and your family can dance and laugh together during our legendary onboard foam party, adding a massive burst of joy to your relaxing day at sea. Throughout the entire journey, your safety and satisfaction are our absolute priorities, which is why all our operations are backed by comprehensive passenger insurance and managed by top-tier maritime professionals. By 16:00, our vessel docks back at the harbor, where our transfer vehicles will be waiting to provide a comfortable and safe journey back to your hotel, concluding a flawless day of sea, sun, and smiles.
