Variety Cruises offers life-enriching journeys for the inquisitive mind. We combine a private yachting type of on board experience with mesmerizing ports of call to offer our guests an authentic and memorable travel experience and become part of the Variety Cruises family.

With just 30 to 50 fellow passengers cruising together no wonder that after a few days into the cruise, most of our guests will be on first name basis with both crew and guests. With a professional yet family –like atmosphere on board, the Variety informal and personal approach is a valued part of your experience not found on larger vessels.

Our programs deliver an up-close and personal cruise experience that larger ships cannot offer and allow for an in –depth exposure to the culture and history of each destination. Our ‘slow’ programs allow for lots of time at each port. While we earned our reputation with our Greece and Turkey programs, we have expanded our ships deployment to include the Adriatic and Venice, the Red Sea and Egypt and in 2010/11 the Rivers of West Africa from Dakar/Senegal and the Black Sea from Odessa and Istanbul.

We look forward to welcoming old and new friends and sharing with them our love for the Sea and the beautiful places which we visit.
