Great start to our Athens vacation.
It is a 5 hour cruise and you get to swim twice. The dinner was delicious. They grilled the chicken on the boat while we swam. They had beer, soft drinks, wine and sodas. They even had snorkel gear, swim vests and noodles if you wanted them.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! ⛵️💙 We’re so happy you enjoyed the swimming stops, our freshly prepared BBQ on board, the drinks and all the swimming equipment available for our guests. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back on board for another beautiful cruise along the Athenian Riviera! ☀️🌊

Wonderful experience
The sunset cruise on this beautiful boat was amazing. As well as the food and drink. It was such a chilled relaxing vibe. My 10 and 15 year olds also loved the experience. The only down fall was that when booking the trip it said there was 2 swim stops but there was actually only 1. This didn’t spoil anything but was just expecting to moor up twice. Thank you to the lovely crew for a great experience
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words about our boat, food, and crew! 😊 We sincerely apologize that there was only one swimming stop instead of two. Unfortunately, due to the wind conditions that day, the second swimming spot was not safe or comfortable to approach, as the weather was stronger in that area. The captain always puts the safety and comfort of our guests first, and swimming there with the wind would not have been a pleasant or safe experience. We’re very happy to hear that this didn’t spoil your cruise and that both you and your children had such a wonderful and relaxing time with us. Thank you for sailing with Wonderful Cruises! ☀️⛵️

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
