Diamond Sea Cruises operates from Rodos, Greece, offering daily day trips to Symi Island and the Panormitis Monastery aboard the newly built cruiser Diamond. The company specializes in comfortable, fast boat transfers from Rhodes to Symi, combining scenic cruising with opportunities for swimming in clear Aegean waters and time to explore Symi’s waterfront town of Gialos. Each published itinerary includes visits to the historic Panormitis Monastery, leisure stops for swimming — commonly at St George’s Bay — and periods ashore to sample traditional Greek cuisine, shop local makers, and wander the island’s neoclassical streets. The fleet’s flagship, the fast cruiser Diamond, is used across the advertised excursions and is described as newly built, offering modern facilities for day passengers. Trips are organized as full-day experiences that balance relaxed sea time, guided points of interest, and free time for independent exploration. Departure point is Rodos, ensuring straightforward connections for visitors staying on Rhodes. Information about itineraries, durations, and specific inclusions is provided with each trip listing so travelers can select the cruise that fits their pace — whether prioritizing swimming stops, monastery visits, or extended time in Gialos. Diamond Sea Cruises focuses on short, scenic routes in the Aegean Sea that highlight Symi’s coastal beauty, religious heritage at Panormitis, and authentic local flavors, delivering reliable day excursions for visitors based in Rhodes. Booking information, departure times, and on-board amenities are listed per trip so travelers can plan transfers from Rhodes with clear expectations and confident timing.
