Preparation for the Cruise

For the summer months, lightweight, cotton clothing is ideal for comfort. Bring a swimsuit, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. In the evening, a sweater or jacket may be necessary due to possible humidity or breezes. While onboard, casual attire is preferred, but swimwear is not allowed in dining areas. For the excursions, we recommend sports shoes or low heels for ease of walking. If visiting religious sites, dress modestly, covering shoulders and avoiding shorts. Don’t forget your camera for memorable moments!

All passengers must present valid travel documents, as expired documents will not be accepted. For international travelers, ensure you have all necessary documentation for entry into Greece. In addition to your travel documents, you must have your cruise ticket or voucher from your travel agency. Please ensure you have all required paperwork before departure, as passengers are responsible for their documents. No refunds will be provided for missing or incorrect documentation.

Smoking is prohibited in all indoor areas of the cruise ship, with designated smoking zones available. In accordance with Greek law, gambling is also not allowed on board. Guests are not permitted to bring their own alcohol or food; however, the cruise ship’s bar and restaurant are fully equipped to meet all your needs during the cruise. Please adhere to these guidelines for a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed on board as there are no facilities to accommodate them. Certified assistant dogs are allowed on board upon request.

Technology & Connectivity FAQ

Yes, mobile coverage is available throughout the cruise. However, please note that signal strength may vary depending on your mobile service provider and your location relative to the cruise ship.

We offer free WiFi access. As we are cruising the Saronic Gulf, there may be temporary disruptions in signal availability due to the geographical nature of the route (such as sea or mountainous areas). These outages are due to factors like coverage gaps from cellular providers and are beyond our control. We appreciate your understanding and are committed to delivering the best possible connectivity during the cruise.

Yes. We suggest bringing your own charger, and there will be charging stations available on board for your convenience. In case you forget your camera or need professional assistance, our on-board photographer will be happy to help you capture memories of your journey.

Safety and Accessibility

Cosmos and Platytera Ton Ouranon, two of the largest day cruise ships in Greece, are operated by fully licensed crews and meet all maritime safety regulations. They are equipped with modern safety measures, including life jackets, rafts, and fire systems, regularly inspected to ensure compliance. Comprehensive insurance covers passenger safety, life protection, and environmental damages. Emergency provisions are in place, and passengers receive safety instructions at the start of the cruise, with trained crew available to assist if needed.

While there is no doctor on board, our crew is fully trained in first-aid procedures and will provide immediate assistance in case of a medical emergency. If necessary, the cruise ship will promptly dock at the nearest port for further medical support.

It’s important to bring all necessary prescription medications with you, as island pharmacies may not stock your specific medicine. If your medication requires refrigeration, please notify our crew in advance so we can accommodate your needs. Additionally, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, we recommend carrying a spare pair for your convenience.

We are pleased to welcome passengers with disabilities aboard our cruise. For safety and comfort, we kindly ask that guests requiring assistance travel with a companion.

We welcome guests using wheelchairs on our cruises. However, accessibility varies depending on the boat and availability is limited. To ensure the best possible experience, please contact our reservations department in advance so we can provide you with all the necessary details and assistance.

For the safety and comfort of expectant mothers, we recommend consulting a doctor before traveling if you are beyond your 12th week of pregnancy. Guests who will be in or beyond their 24th week during the cruise must provide a medical certificate confirming their fitness to travel. Unfortunately, guests who are in their 28th week of pregnancy or later will be unable to travel with us. This policy is in place because the cruise staff and onboard facilities are not equipped to handle potential pregnancy-related complications, and the islands visited during the cruise also lack the necessary medical resources to address such emergencies. The carrier and ship’s captain reserve the right to review medical documentation and, if necessary, decline boarding if safety concerns arise. Your health and well-being are our top priority.

For safety reasons, infants under 6 months old are not permitted to travel. Infants over 6 months are welcome, provided parents bring all necessary equipment, as the cruise ship does not offer infant food, milk, or babysitting services. Minors traveling with a guardian (not a parent) must present a certified consent form from their parents.
