Cycladic Cruises is a day-cruise operator based in Naxos, Greece, offering scheduled excursions across the Cyclades. The company operates a range of one-day and leisure cruises from Naxos with some departures also available from Paros. Popular itineraries include Mykonos cruises (six to 8.5 hours, depending on departure port), combined Delos and Mykonos day trips, Santorini excursions (eleven to twelve hours with guided bus tours in Fira and multilingual commentary on selected departures), Iraklia and Koufonisi leisure cruises to the Small Cyclades, and a Paros cruise to Naousa and Kolympithres.
Trips emphasize island sightseeing, archaeological visits to Delos, beach time and swimming stops, and opportunities to explore village streets, cafes, galleries, and local products. Vessels are used for day transportation between islands and for onboard leisure during transfers and swims. Sailings provide shore time at key ports such as Mykonos Chora, Little Venice, the windmills, Delos archaeological site, Santorini Caldera and Fira, and the port of Naousa on Paros. Departure and arrival logistics are arranged from Naxos harbor; several routes offer extended schedules when originating in Paros. Cycladic Cruises focuses on straightforward, scenic island itineraries designed for travelers who want full-day experiences in the Cyclades. Booking information, exact departure times, and accessibility details are available through the operator’s reservation channels and on-site ticket desks. Mykonos and Delos itineraries combine cultural highlights with beach time, shopping and local gastronomy, while Small Cyclades cruises prioritize swimming and relaxed village exploration. Schedules change seasonally, matching peak summer demand across the islands. Confirm timetables locally.
