The millennium is of special importance to Royal Olympic Cruises, because it marks new beginnings including the launch of the Olympic Voyager the first of two new state-of-the-art cruise liners

We are Royal Olympic Cruises, the largest and leading cruise operator in the Eastern Mediterranean, with over 5,000 berths and 170 sailing dates between March and November. And this year, there will be more to choose from: new itineraries, new ports of embarkation, and new days of departure as well as a brand new state-of-the-art cruise liner-the Olympic Voyager! Our home is the Greek Islands where we offer a unique blend of luxury and adventure to passengers cruising the historic ports of the Aegean and Mediterranean. Royal Olympic's Greek officers and crew were born to a tradition of maritime excellence and our intimate, mid-sized ships accommodate a small, discerning group of passengers on cruises designed for adventure, enlightenment, entertainment, and enjoyment.

Welcome to our Home

Our ships have been sailing the Mediterranean and Aegean for nearly a century and we think we know a thing or two about this unique part of the world. Royal Olympic Cruises officers and crew were born here and nothing pleases them more than showing off their homeland. Over the year we have perfected our itineraries to highlight the history of this region - while also including some of its lovely beaches and resorts.

On every cruise there's an official licensed guide who will fill you in on the history, mythology, art and archaeology of the ports so you will go home with more than just a tan you will take with you a greater understanding of what is modestly call the birthplace of civilization.

Relax and Indulge your senses

The romance of ocean travel is alive and well at Royal Olympic Cruises. Some of the most memorable moments of your cruise will be spent on deck; watching the sun rise over Istanbul, relaxing in a deck chair on deck or star gazing under the night sky.

Royal Olympic ships have expansive decks for sunning or strolling; salt water swimming pools for a refreshing dip before dinner and al fresco dining options for breakfast and lunch. All this comes with a gentle sea breeze and the endless horizon beckoning with new adventures ahead.

A heritage of hospitality

That includes the entertainment we offer on board. Lectures on exotic ports of call. Classical music concerts. The evening entertainment is cabaret-style, with musicians, dancers, magicians and comedians from around the world performing in intimate lounges. There's dancing in the main lounge before and after dinner, and Royal Olympic's Dance Host program during most cruises ensures that every one has a turn on the dance our officers and crew will entertain you with songs and dances from their native Greece.

Want more ? There is a casino, a cinema and a late night disco. Enough options to please everyone

The Fleet

With a fleet of seven mid sized cruise ships sailing in the Aegean, Mediterranean and European Atlantic Coast, Royal Olympic offers the most and best itineraries. Ranging in capacity from 300 to 840 passengers, each ship is different, but you will find the same warm welcome and friendly, intimate ambiance on each one. Royal Olympic's ship accommodate a small, discerning group of passengers. We provide a high level of personal service in a relaxed atmosphere with a passenger to crew ratio of nearly two to one

We believe that smaller ships are friendlier, have better service, and are more relaxing that the mega-liners where you can get lost in the crowd or in an endless maze of corridors or shops. We invite you to take a look at why Royal Olympic is different from the rest and why you should consider us for your next cruise vacation. You will be more than a passenger - you will be an honored guest.
