Step Aboard the Voyager: Santorini’s Largest Luxury Catamaran
With a maximum capacity of 55 guests, the Catamaran Voyager is the largest and most luxurious in the fleet—yet it still feels intimate. With spacious decks, cushioned sun loungers, shaded seating, and a bar area, it’s a floating haven of comfort.
You’ll feel the difference from the moment you step aboard. The vibe is friendly but refined. The crew greets you with warm smiles and chilled beverages, setting the tone for a carefree day on the water.
The Caldera Cruise Begins: Santorini Unveiled
As the catamaran sails out into the volcanic caldera, take a moment to absorb your surroundings. You’re gliding along waters born from one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in human history. Towering cliffs rise like guardians around the rim, crowned with whitewashed villages that look like icing sugar from the sea.
The first destination is the legendary Hot Springs of Palia and Nea Kameni. As you approach the geothermal cove, the sea transforms into a mineral-rich warm pool, its amber hues shimmering in the sunlight. You’ll stop here for about 30 minutes—plenty of time to swim, soak, and let the healing volcanic waters rejuvenate your skin and soul.
Scenic Sailing: Volcanoes, Lighthouses & Rock Formations
After your geothermal dip, the tour continues south, passing landmarks that feel like scenes from a Greek myth:
- Aspronisi – the mysterious uninhabited islet
- Akrotiri & Indian Rock – nature’s own sculptures carved by centuries of sea wind
- The Venetian Lighthouse – standing proudly on the caldera’s edge, offering a glimpse into the island’s maritime past
Your guide shares the stories behind each location, adding a layer of meaning to every wave you sail past.
Red Beach: A Surreal Natural Wonder
Next stop: Red Beach. True to its name, this awe-inspiring shoreline is framed by towering red cliffs, a vivid contrast against the cobalt sea. You’ll spend about 30 minutes here—perfect for snapping photos or diving in for a swim or snorkel. The reef below hides colorful fish, making it a paradise for underwater explorers.
Don’t forget to bring your waterproof camera or GoPro—this is one of the most photographed beaches in the world for a reason.
White Beach: Swim, Snorkel, and Savor the Flavors
Just when you think the tour can’t get better, you arrive at White Beach, the final and most indulgent stop. Unlike its red-hued sister, this beach boasts bright white cliffs and pebbles, offering a contrasting backdrop that’s equally breathtaking.
Here, you’ll have a full 1.5 hours to do as you please:
- Swim in crystal-clear waters
- Snorkel among rock formations
- Feast on a delicious BBQ buffet, served fresh on board
The BBQ Buffet: A Greek Culinary Celebration
While you swim, the crew prepares a mouthwatering spread featuring:
- Pork and chicken souvlaki rolls
- Fresh Greek salad with local feta
- Baked potatoes and seasoned rice
- Tzatziki with warm bread
- Seasonal fruit
- Free-flowing local Santorini wine
Vegetarian options are available upon request, and drinks flow freely, encouraging conversation, laughter, and that warm Greek hospitality TPO.Travel is known for.
A Sunset Sail Back to Port
As the sun begins to dip, casting golden hues over the cliffs, the catamaran turns back toward port. You’ll pass Oia’s cliffside homes, now glowing in the soft light. If you’re lucky, the sky ignites into pinks, oranges, and purples, making this final leg of the tour the most magical moment of all.
Capture the iconic Santorini sunset from the sea—a vantage point few tourists ever see. It’s the perfect ending to a day filled with beauty, relaxation, and discovery.
