Premium catamaran cruise to Dia Island in Crete

4.6/5
95 reviews

Cast off on a luxurious half-day catamaran cruise from the old Venetian harbour of Heraklion, gliding over to Dia Island in Crete. As you sail, you can tuck into traditional Cretan delicacies and refreshing drinks – setting the tone for the trip. Once you arrive at the island, you can take your pick from the watersports on offer – try paddle-boarding, snorkelling, fishing, or simply go for a swim – there's even an inflatable sea pool. After working up an appetite, you'll have an onboard Mediterranean feast designed by an award-winning chef, served up with unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks. For this experience, you can choose to sail in the morning sunshine or see the island at sunset, and if you want to opt for a little extra luxury, you can choose a private cruise.

    Unfortunately the trip was spoiled by the extremely rough sea as we left the shelter of Heraklion port. Within minutes of sailing into open sea a few of the other guests were seasick,I come from a seafaring family and in my opinion this trip should not have gone ahead due to the conditions. Apart from that the crew were fantastic and once we reached the shelter of the island and anchored the rest of the experience was fantastic,I give praise to Captain/crew who provided the food/entertainment

    Amazing staff onboard, beautiful island couldn’t ask for any more beauty. The only downfall was the behaviour of kids on the trip who where not controlled by their parents, to improve the experience make the trip 18+ only

    Unfortunately the information about disability access and facility are wrong 😕 The Tui rep at the hotel said it was ok . But I had to walk a narrow plank to access the catermeran and I could access the sea as the later was not suitable. It's not a Disability friendly cruise although no fault of the operators who were fantastic 😀 and helped beyond there remite..
