Here are more experiences we've reviewed in Paphos

What Makes This Cruise Special?

You’ll be stepping onto the luxury Ocean Flyer yacht, a vessel licensed for 150 passengers but hosting only around 65 guests during your trip. This smaller number really makes a difference, allowing the crew to focus on providing attentive, seamless service without the chaos of overcrowding.

From the moment you’re picked up at your hotel—whether from a central location or specific hotels like Aphrodite Hills—the experience feels tailored. The hotel transfers are included, so you won’t need to worry about logistics, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area. The ride to the marina is smooth, setting an anticipatory tone for the day ahead.

Itinerary Breakdown and Highlights

The cruise is set to last around 5 hours, with options to check available starting times. Once aboard, you’re greeted with a glass of champagne, immediately signaling the elevated experience that awaits.

The cruise primarily focuses on showcasing the western coastline’s beauty. Expect spectacular views of cliffs, sea caves, and Coral Bay, which are best appreciated from the yacht’s expansive deck. Many reviewers have pointed out how stunning the scenery is, with one describing it as “gorgeous stop-offs,” perfect for photos or just soaking in the scenery.

Key Stops and Activities

While the exact itinerary isn’t detailed at every turn, the emphasis is on relaxation and enjoying the environment. The yacht’s open area provides plenty of space for sunbathing and lounging on comfortable sun beds and seats, with a luxurious lounge area and toilets adding to the comfort.

A notable feature is the opportunity for swimming and canoeing, with equipment like swimming noodles and canoe gear available, weather permitting. Reviewers mention multiple swim stops, which are appreciated for breaking up the cruise and giving you time to cool off in the clear Mediterranean waters.

Many reviewers highlight how the crew maintains a balance of professionalism and friendliness, making sure everyone’s needs—whether for drinks, food, or assistance—are handled promptly and with a smile.

Value for Money

Several mention that it’s “not a booze cruise,” but rather a refined and peaceful way to explore the coast.

What Could Be Better?
