Daytrip on a honeymoon, highly recommended! - Our guide Indira was amazing person, very fluent and understandable english. She guided very well and was a warm person. The cruise was unbelievable, the crew very friendly. We enjoyed the cruise so much and would recommend it to others as well! The ship brings you memories of The Pirates of the Caribbean saga, I dont’t know why. But that is a good thing. ;)

Great experience! - Very beautiful cruise. Good guidance, friendly crew. The ship is amazing and I recommend to join in food tasting tours as well (price not included, but worth paying if you like to know traditional food/wine production) We participated as a couple. Highly recommended!
