Chania Sunset Cruise
My friends and I had a wonderful time on the Chania sunset cruise celebrating my 30th birthday! The crew were so lovely, attentive and informative throughout and ensured we had everything we needed during our time. We were all very impressed with the food which was delightful, and they also were so kind and endured and encouraged our cruise karaoke! The boat also was gorgeous, very clean and spacious! Highly recommend to anyone considering booking with Catamaran Crete. Also, if you’re celebrating a special occasion, be sure to tell them during booking stage! I didn’t know this and was later told they could have decorated for me.
