There's nothing quite like lying back and feeling the sea spray as the sun warms your body. And if lazing on deck sounds like your perfect day, then this Thassos cruise is for you. You'll enjoy a day soaking up the views and tucking into a fresh barbecue lunch between swimming stops.

First off, we'll head to the port where your boat awaits. Then you'll set sail into the Aegean. Your captain will strike a course along the coast, giving you panoramic views over the mountains, cliffs and dinky fishing villages. And around midday, you'll drop anchor at a secluded beach – one that's only accessible from the sea.

Dive in and swim in the clear waters, stretch out on the beach or grab a snorkel to check out the marine life. You'll be served a barbecue lunch on deck, after which you'll have more time to sunbathe or swim before sailing homewards. The captain will make other stops for swimming during the trip, too.

The description in the tui app suggested the trip would be a journey around the coastline with the occasional stop to swim. What we actually got was a trip no further than a mile from port stopping at 4 beaches all in sight of one another. Each stop was an hour in length and 2 hours for lunch. I like a swim, but unless you are training for the Olympics then 5 hours is excessive! More of the beautiful coastline and less stops would be better in my opinion and a change of description the app.

Wasn’t as described, sea was extremely choppy and windy, cruise should have been cancelled

Southern Delights is actually Norther Delights!! Fabulous time although, none of the staff explained anything. No one said which bay we were in, how long we had at each stop or even when lunch was being served. It was a complete mystery trip!!!

Hi to advise, we have just got onto the coach to return to our hotel, having booked the 'southern cruise.' Only to have been driven to the north of the island. And gone on one of the worst boat trips I have ever beenon. To give prior warning, we will be making a formal complaint. We were given no information that we would be put on a different cruise to what we had booked and paid for. No communication from TUI or the cruise team. An absolute rip off and I require a full refund.

Biggest issue with this day Massively overpopulated Boat probably safe for 25/30 people However double that onboard Not able to sit down Barely enough room to stand. One plate of fruit on arrival, not enough to go round Meal was pleasant Some of the stops where beautiful to visit One was a quarry which was bit industrial Would recommend a boat trip but not this one

The boat we went on was much smaller, and a different type than the one on the photograph. There was no opportunity to go ashore at any time, or to be in water less than about 3m deep, which meant less confident or non swimmers had to remain on board the whole time. The food was acceptable, though not great, and the staff were nice, the weather was beautiful. Not quite u to the usual Tui standard.
