Experience an unforgettable holiday adventure

A very warm welcome to our specialist Fly-Stay-Cruise section.

Sun-filled days, as active or as lazy as you wish, romantic sundowners on deck and warm, starry nights combined with the intrigue of historic, beautiful ports of call and a glitteringly fabulous nightlife are just part of the adventure of a Mediterranean cruise.

Cyplon is delighted to introduce to you its exciting Fly-Stay-Cruise Mediterranean programme for 2009, featuring world renowned Louis Cruise Lines, offering you the opportunity to experience an amazing holiday with all the elements taken care of.

Relax before or after Your Cruise and explore some of the most ancient cities in the world

We will fly you to Athens and transfer you by private taxi to your hotel where you will spend the night before your cruise. Your evening is at leisure so you can relax in the hotel, enjoy a local restaurant or opt to see Athens city centre, about twenty minutes drive away. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast the next day, then your taxi will transport you to your Louis cruise ship where your adventure will begin!

Louis Cruise Lines aspires to the highest standards of safety, service, comfort and value. Its fleet of classic cruise liners offer a most amiable ambience on board full of warmth and friendliness. With an optimum size for the Mediterranean, its ships are able to enter the smaller island ports. Also, their crowd free environment makes it possible to provide a personal touch. The officers and crew uphold the long tradition of Greek hospitality with pride and enthusiasm. They will welcome you on board making you feel perfectly at home and among friends!

Your cruise is on full board basis and you can choose whether to dine casually at self service bistro buffets or a little more formally at the full service restaurants. In addition to main meals you will also be tempted with snacks, afternoon tea and a late-night buffet!

See Shore Excursion page for a list of programmes pertaining to your chosen cruise – these are in addition to the cost of your holiday and you may select and book these with Cyplon in advance.

On return from your magical cruise you will be taken by private taxi back to Athens airport for your flight home.

Go further Extended Stay

Should you be tempted to stay a little longer, Cyplon Holidays can make further arrangements on your behalf. We have a vast selection of superior hotels in Athens, mainland Greece, the Greek Islands and the jewel of the Mediterranean - Cyprus.

Go Further, extend your stay

Visit one of the seven wonders of the world, Pyramides in Luxor, take a Nile cruise, or, one of our many Red Sea Riviera resorts, or even Dubai, the most up and coming city in the world. Simply advise us of your wishes and we will tailor-make a programme to suit your needs.

Cruise only prices are available upon request.

A must see for those who have not yet experienced it is in our opinion a day visiting the pyramids, the Sphinx and the Cairo museum in Egypt. If you have the opportunity to have lunch on the Nile whilst belly dancers entertain, you may travel back in time to the days of the Pharaohs and leave the bustle of modern life behind for a while at least.

Stay at 5 Star Piraeus Theoxenia Hotel

On arrival in Athens you will be taken by private taxi to spend the night prior to your cruise in the Piraeus Theoxenia Hotel, a proud member of "Great Hotels of the World". A new landmark building and the only 5-star hotel in Piraeus, this uniquely designed 9-storey property with 76 rooms and suites combines elements of Neo-classical architecture and modern building design. Its spacious, airy and comfortable rooms are individually decorated consisting of designer wood furniture, luxurious fabrics and warm tasteful colour combinations. A fully equipped gym is located in the hotel whilst massage and aromatherapy is available by appointment. The relaxed and elegant Incognito Restaurant provides exceptional and innovative Italian food and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Vegetarian and children's menus are available upon request.
