Blue Star Ferries

Too delayed

We booked our tickets a month in advance for a ferry that was supposed to arrive in Piraeus at 5 p.m. Shortly after our booking, the arrival time was postponed to 6 p.m. And the day before we were to take the ferry, arrival time was changed to 7 p.m. The actual time we were able to leave the ferry (as the very first passengers) was 7.30 p.m.
The trip was fine and the crew was helpful.

Very pleasant trips

[Translated from French]
For our 2 ways trip from Piraeus to Katapola (Amorgos): a cabin trip, very clean and comfortable. Very nice crew. For the return, air seat type chairs that were also very comfortable.
The boat is very well maintained, the sanitary cleaned regularly throughout the journey.
I recommend this company.

Bad customer service

On my way from Hydra to Athens I placed my suitcase on a designated point in the front of the ferry. A member of the staff must have placed it elsewhere at some point (which they never admitted). Having not been able to find my suitcase I asked a member of the staff (female) for help, who just left and never returned with a response. When I asked her if they investigated the matter she just asked me to look again (they never even searched) insisting that I must have placed it elsewhere and forgot that I put it there. After looking everywhere and still not being able to find it I asked that they make an announcement so that everyone could check the suitcases they had with them and to not let anyone leave the ferry (in case someone either mixed their suitcase with mine or even stole it). The response I got is that "We cannot do that but you can stand at the exit and watch all passengers as they exit" (passengers where exiting from 2 sides so it was impossible for me to check both). After doing that too, still not being able to find my suitcase, I started to panic and started crying, telling the captain that someone stole my suitcase and nobody is paying any attention to my calls for help. When the word "stole" managed to get their attention a member (male) of the staff miraculously found my suitcase and with a very aggressive way handed it to me. When I asked where it was he replied "What does it matter, didn't you now get it?". At that point the captain also told me off by saying "it is a very serious charge to say that someone stole your suitcase". In addition, on my way from Athens to Hydra we were directed to the wrong side of the aisle to find our seats by the stuff, that caused a lot of confusion and a small chaos with all passengers complaining about it. Aside this unpleasant incident, the ride was good, the chairs are comfortable and the ferry both times was on time.

Ferry Travel with Blue Star in Greece

We took a ferry from Athens to Naxos and found that the Airplane Seats that we had booked and paid for were not in the best condition. One seat couldn't reclined and the coevering on seats, in general, were quite shabby. Also the tray tables would not stay up as the mechanism for locking them were not functioning properly. The loading/unloading procedure is a bit haphazard and dangerous, as cars are going on and off at the same time as footpassengers. We have been on ferries before, and have never seen this before. There are two doors for passenger entry into the man deck area, but only one is used.

Great again

[Translated from Ferriesingreece]
for the second time with Blue Star, from Santorini to Piraeus, with the Blue Star 1. The ship leaves at 1 o'clock at night and is in Athens at 7 o'clock in the morning. We had this time a 2-bed luxury cabin and were not disappointed - like a small cruise with personal service, unfortunately, the ride is way too short - for once, a boat could be a bit longer ...

Can do better

[Translated from French]
Arrival of the ferry one hour late.
The ferry staff boarding and disembarking was not nice at all with passengers.

Santorini to mykonos

1.5 hours late made us almost miss our flight back home, you should be more attention to time.

My Greek Odyssey - Part two

Syros to Mykonos was delayed by 45 mins but I stand by everything positive from the outward journey clean comfortable friendly staff good facilities etc

My Greek Odyssey

Clean comfortable efficient punctual, good facilities, atm shops restaurants good seating just a wonderful experience. Easy embarkation and disembarkation.friendly helpful staff.
I’d definitely book again.
Well done Blue Star Ferries.

Trip Athens Hydra - Hydra Athens

[Translated from French]
Few signs in the port of Athens but we finally found our boat.
Boats on time. Comfortable chairs.
Good experience despite a bit high price.

Good

[Translated from French]
Fast crossing. Surprising, however, to be offered to go down to Naxos the time the boat makes a return trip to Mykonos. We left our luggage with a little fear but 1:30 later everything was in order.

Poor to Average service

Stewards were in such a hurry before boarding, but things were going really slow. Car parking on board was an absurd mess. Going back from Skiathos to Volos, the ferry came 2 hours later than expected and took a lot more people than it should have. It was way overcrowded. Absolutely no organisation when it comes to getting off the boat - instead of letting drivers reach their cars first, people with no cars block the exits and you can't move doen until they get off the boat... Just absurd

Unprofessional conduct

[Translated from Greek]
We were with my family at exactly the time we needed to board, but the person in charge of the boat entrance supposedly pulled the rope for departure. I tell him half a minute to get on the boat and he tells me to come with the next one. We had to buy other tickets and wait another 3.5 hours. UNRESPONSIBILITY to its greatness by an employee who tarnishes the company name...

North aegean 2019

First of all - all 3 of my ferries were LATE- 1.5 - 2.0 HOURS LATE. The Nissos Mykonos was the most comfortable and pleasant of the ferries. The loading was long, unorganized and confusing...we arrived an hour before departure as we were told..we were told to park..we were 3rd car...and we did not board until 1.5hour after scheduled departure time..and were literally the LAST car to board. The Express Pegasus was the most unpleasant, boat inside. Bad air-conditioning system..not many windows...stuffy. Also...while the public areas on the boat were clean...the bathroom toilet trashcans were overflowing within 2 hours of sailing! I do not expect much for the food on board...BUT ...a cappuccino at 3.90 euro!? pure greed, taking advantage of the passenger! There are not many possibilities when needing to ferry within the Greek islands...but if I had my choice..I would not sail with this company again. They got me to my destination safely.....for that I am grateful

Very good, except ...

[Automatic translation]
No complaints. A quiet trip on both ways. A very clean boat. Timetables respected. Only one thing very shocking: a police helicopter from Chios, which projected as a kind of liquid or gas that we all sprayed. Humanly, it's unbearable. The company gave no explanation. Of course, we suspect that it is in relation to migrants, but it seems very derisory. This is totally unacceptable. How long do we Europeans protect us from other humans fleeing wars, famine, drought ... whatever the causes of exile?

Comfortable, clean and at time, wonderful experience

Buying a drink was expensive.

Awesome

[Translated from French]
We made two trips with Highspeed 4 (Piraeus to Koufonisi and Koufonisi to Naxos). The staff, the organization, the cleanliness or the comfort, everything was impeccable. We decided on board to pay an extra € 10 to access the upper deck "vip" where you can enjoy even more comfortable seats and a terrace to enjoy the outside where you will find a table service throughout the journey, with a personal care. In short, if you choose this ship, your holiday will start on board ...

Santorini to Naxos

Travelled by Blue Star Ferries from Santorini to Naxos & back. The actual ferry was excellent & on time but the boarding & dis-embarking process was chaotic!

Very nice ride

[Translated by Ferriesingreece, from German]
It was our first time in Greece and have also used a ferry for the first time without a vehicle. We travelled from Piraeus to Astypalea during the day. The battery of your cell phone / iPad or laptop should be absolutely full as there are very few sockets and they are immediately occupied. Inside the vessel, it is very cold and you can only endure it with a jacket. Otherwise, the service/food/punctuality was great.

Blue star Pireaus to Rhodes and back

We took Blue Star ferry to and from Rhodes on April 1st & back April 8th(day time delayed departure from the 7th). We had a double bunk cabin in both directions. Clean and comfortable. The upper bunk ladder is difficult to negotiate and you need something on your feet. Getting on and off is easy, roller bags were no problem. Bus in Pireaus port was welcome and worked well. Restaurants on the ferry are not that great, limited and have a bit of a take it or leave it mindset. The "fine dining" restaurant on the return trip really did not want us, greeted us highly abruptly "we are not open!" We do not think they were the whole trip. Indeed the self serve opening seemed highly curtailed in both directions . The staff were mixed, but had generally one thing in common, they were predominantly middle aged males, many of whom were pleased to see you, tourists after all give them a job, but would be happier if you just put a cheque on the mail and did not really bother them! They lack a bit of warmth in their customer/human interactions, We had one beef in the weather delay leaving Rhodes. Nobody seemed to really know what was happening, we got conflicting advice all afternoon. Again a lack of customer care or concern. Bottom line it was a ferry, not a cruise ship. Generally ok .

Needs organization

My first time on a ferry, it was chaos. No one guided us were our seating was. Big luggages were all over.

Good ferries, Awful customer service

The ferries are comfortable and clean but the company's behavior towards customers is completely unacceptable.

We used Blue Star Ferries twice during our trip and in both cases the ferry very late, which we were told to expect by previous traveler reviews, however, the company never bothered to inform us. We booked the 10:50 pm ferry from Paros to Naxos rather than the earlier one so we would have more time to explore the island. When I picked up tickets I happened to ask if there were any delays and the agent said that the ferry had been 2 hours behind schedule since early that morning and would not leave until 12:50 am. The company did not post anything at their office, the agent did not inform me when I picked up the tickets and did not send an email notice to travelers. That agent then informed me that we had to wait outside where it was cold and windy because they were going home and everything else in the area closed at 11 pm. They did not inform any other people of the delay so my girlfriend and I ended up walking around telling everyone else. The ferry finally showed up around 1:45 am, 3 hours after the scheduled time.

Answer by Ferriesingreece.com
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the delay that you faced on your return trip. We contacted Blue Star ferries to check why we were not informed about this in order to be able to inform you on time and as they explained the reason was that this change had not been scheduled and was due to the fact that the vessel had to urgently call on Syros in order to transport a patient. As it was a Sunday midday, and there was not enough time to inform all agencies the ferry company sent sms directly to the mobile number that you had included in the booking. This was the way they could alert the passengers directly for this last moment itinerary change. Always at your disposal.

Great Service

Hello! There is a wish to express words of gratitude to crews of Blue Star Ferries which made the professional work our travel on Naxos 15.09.2018 and to Piraeus 28.09.2018 unforgettable. Thanks!!!

Everything was great

[Translated from German]
Everything went very well, the boat was fast, very pleasant and punctual - Thanks, we'll be back!

Thanks for the great service!

[Translated from Russian]
Service on the ferry at the highest level! The staff is sympathetic, polite, helps in all matters. Very comfortable vessel (sailed on five ships), there are small differences in the ships, but they are all comfortable. The only thing I would like is free wi-fi.
Thanks for your work. Good luck!

[Original text]
Спасибо за отличный сервис!
Comments: Сервис на пароме на высшем уровне! Персонал отзывчивый, вежливый, во всех вопросах помогает. Очень комфортные судна (плавали на пяти суднах), есть небольшие различия в кораблях, но все они комфортные. Единственное, хотелось бы бесплатный wi-fi. Спасибо за Вашу работу. Удачи!

Disappointing

I bought a ticket for a date and a schedule, when I went to change the ticket I discovered that there was no scheduled time, I had to anticipate my departure from the hotel to get the schedule that was chosen by the company, you can imagine that ended my day , I had bought a booth and a schedule that I could see the sunset at sea, but you ruined everything. Know before buying that regardless of what was bought the company who decides at what time its schedule, we lost the money of 2 transfer that we had bought, a beautiful crap I hated would never use this service again, regrets buy something and take another much worse , forced us to board 3 hours earlier on a cheaper boat than I paid without cabin and horrible.

Perfect

[Translated from French]
The boat was on time. Canine area very clean and functional. Informing staff. No complaints. Bravo!

Cyclades 2018

[Translated from French]
The company does not offer the choice to print the tickets through the internet, you have to go to a port office to get the tickets and pay for the printing (it cost us 3 Euros for 4 tickets). On the other hand, we had separate seats for the journey between Paros and Piraeus while the booking was made in April 2018.

Great Service

Clean, comfortable, timely, great staff. We enjoyed travelling with both Blue Star 1 and Blue Star 2

It surpassed my expactations

It was a wonderful experience. Comfortable seats, friendly staff, no delay. Huge windows to behold the beauty of the sea. I did enjoy every minute of it.

Lovely!

A relaxed and extremely easy way to get around the Greek Isles. We took the ferry from Athens to Santorini, which was a longer travel time than flying but we didn\'t want to rush or have to deal with airports. It was wonderful to see the islands while at sea and other ports. Defintiely upgrade to business class, there was ample room available to spread out and be comfortable. A waitress is also available as well as a decent food and drink selection. Highly recommend this!!

Great

Very clean boats and nice services.

Great!

We booked in the business class section and also a cabin and the accommodations and service was wonderful.

Ships with great experience

[Translated from Greek]
I have traveled 3 times with Blue Star Delos for Piraeus-Paros and Paros-Piraeus. The boat is beautiful and its route passes by some amazing islands. I would reccommend this boat to everyone. I have also try Blue Star Naxos and the service was excellent. Just a great experience.

Ferry experience

Just one negative note about the ferry company Blue Star and the ferry Blue star delos. I payed 40 euros each for 6 places, de desorganization in the entrance was total. I saw old people running with their luggages and climb over stairs with heavy bags. Most of them, and also me only found places at the bar for a 8 hour trip when over the sofas a couple could be occupying 8 places and noane told them anything - It happens to me, they refused to give me one of the sofas were they are putting their feet saying that they are more that was a lie !!!.fortunately other people did that. So I higlhty recomend more surveillance from the crews, mobility and support inside the vessel, another organization in the entrance and perhaps if the majority of the places were numerated people don' t need to enter the vessels as cattle running to find a place they have payed to. And for sure they y will have more places available. A good vessel, a very bad and revolting experience only for the way they were not organized.

I had a great time with the ferries. I took a ferry to Paros- Naxos- Santorini over a span of three days. The services in the ferry were very good except the internet facilities. Overall, a satisfactory experience. Will recommend for all.

On 13th Oct. the escalators were not working when my husband and I, both aged 77, disembarked from the Blue Cross ferry at Piraeus, having embarked at Naxos at 9am. This made it a straining and stressful experience, having to carry our luggage down 2 narrow steep stairways. We should have warned, so we could have waited to descend by lift. Once having been surrounded by crowds of other passengers, there was no alternative but to proceed with a rather perilous descent.

Excellent trip! We used ferries between Mykonos and Athens and we really enjoy. Very comfortable and stable. The staff is ok and the food is good. Travel had been perfect, also schedules. Recommend.

On time, very clean and comfortable. Very helpful staff

I was travelling with my pregnant wife and and 1-year old baby. The off-boarding process organised in an awful manner. Too much people waiting on stairs, elevator brings us to the lower level with no air conditioning. My pregnant wife and baby was crying because of no air and very-very crowdy! I feel like there were no organisation at all! Comparing with Viking Line and other nordic ferries, Blues star gets zero - 0 points!

Ferry from Paros to Athens Piraeus. Probably a great journey if you have your own cabin but if not it's a nightmare. Not enough seat for everybody so people were seating on the floor or in the stairs. If you want to have a proper seat you need to upgrade your ticket and pay extra of course. Unfriendly staff when we asked for help. I would prefer to have a longer trip but comfortable than shorter and stressful.

Great way to travel! The ferry is the best way to travel while island hopping in Greece. Though occasionally they may run a bit late but while on vacation that doesn\'t matter as much. We took the Blue Star Delos from Athens to Naxos and on to Santorini and loved the experience. We also rode the Hellenic Highspeed from Santorini to Mykonos and with both companies our experience was very positive.

Easy, comfortable and spacious.

The vessel is amazingly huge but very comfortable and nice. I recommend business class if you can afford it. The food is not very good though so to fully enjoy I recommend you bring some good food onboard.

We were very happy with the ease and efficiency of getting on & off the vessel. The seating area lounge was roomy and very comfortable. The variety of food and drink was great. We will definitely repeat.

Ships are on time & boarding and de boarding is easy and efficient Ships are clean. Next time in Greece would use this company. Only issue would be availability of tickets.

A nice smooth sailing from Naxos - Santorini, however, upon collecting our tickets from Naxos Port, I noticed that my partner & I were located in different seats in our Air-lounge seats. I enquired with the Ticket Office & they brushed me off stating that I would have to sort it out onboard. Once onboard I could not enquire about the seats until after we had started sailing. Apparently 30+ other people had the exact same problem. After 30 minutes of waiting in line, our seats were changed to a different lounge & together, however when we got to our seats there were two backpackers asleep, taking up the floor with themselves & our seats with their baggage. Reluctantly I woke them & asked that they move, which they were not happy about. All in all we did not actually get to settle into our seats until after departing Paros. Finally, the rest of the journey was a mixture of people arguing over other passengers in their seats, passengers baggage everywhere (actually everywhere) & passengers transiting through the airlounge to reach the sundeck & bar at the stern of the ship. All in all, don't bother paying the extra ~8 euro for an airseat ticket, as they really aren't worth the hastle and the crew don't even enforce the seating anyway.

I am usually seasick, but the ride was so smooth, I slept throughout most of it! Convenient and reliable!

It was very pleasant the trip by Aegean sea, all wonderful, especially the meals, the Greek and other salads, the ship very modern and comfortable, etc. Thank you, this trip will be unforgettable for me. And the islands landscapes incredible.

We recently traveled with Blue Star from Santorini to Naxos and then to Athens a few days later. We were very impressed with the vessels, the comfort, punctuality and service provided. It was a pleasant surprise. We weren't expecting it to be such an enjoyable way to travel. Only downside was that multiple passengers seemed to have the same seat numbers as us on the trip to Athens. There were plenty of seats vacant so it wasn't too much of a problem.

We took the ferry from Athens to Naxos and from Naxos to Amorgos and were very impressed by the punctuality, the efficiency and the cleanliness of the ferry. Embarkment and disembarkment were done in a record time. The only negative aspect was the less than friendly attitude of some of the staff at the bar. But maybe they had a short night before...

We went from mykonos to paros and later from paros to santorini. Everything was ok. We had business class with a child.

Great Service, but long long queue in Santorini harbor without shadow.

Blue star ferries, Piraeus-Chania, OK. 2 bed internal was perfect. Good service but meal was cold.

The ferries were always on time, we had space to relax, the seats were confortable, the food was good and not overpriced.

Very happy with this ferry company, the facilities on board were well maintained and very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly and the food was reasonably priced, tasty, and varied. Make sure to double check your ticket times as Greece (like most of the world) is on 24 hour clock and they do have ferries leaving early in the morning/late at night. Would definitely choose this company again!

Definitely the best ferry company in Greece. High standards (if you compare it to others).

I did like my trip from Athens to Satorini. Everything was really good, I certainly will travel by Greek ferry once again.

Traveled from Kos to Rhodes to Kos. Its like traveling in a 5 star hotel, very clean, very comfortable, very helpful and kind staff. For longer travels the rooms in the upper decks looked like a real 5 star hotel.

The ferry company should impose heavy penalty to those who do not have valid tickets in the AK zone or higher class. I have found many people who come from free seating and wait for unoccupied seating. My experience was that a lady sat on my seat. When I showed my ticket, she just left and found another seat. Obviously she did not have valid ticket. This is totally unfair for those who paid in full, like us. Just recruit a small team of staff to avoid a great loss of the company.

We traveled with a 1 year 4 months daughter and miniature datchhund. Booking was easy. Crew was helpful and patient. We enjoyed the ferry pretty much, all of us. Not really sure about the dog, she slept most of the time in daughter's stroller. I must noticed there was a problem with a liquid soap in WC: dispencers didn't work.

It was very pleasant, the Blue star ferries is very comfortable and meals, drinks and desserts excellent. Thank you for the services.

My travel on the BLUE STAR ferry was interesting and comfortable. Thanks of the company and to crew for high professionalism. To new meetings!!!

Within several seasons I travel to Cyclades on BLUE STAR ferries. It both fascinating travel, and comfortable conditions, both professional seamen and personnel, and fine combination price/quality. I advise BLUE STAR to all.

Le voyage avec cette compagnie est très agréable, les horaires sont respectés. Un seul regret que l'on ne puisse pas éditer les billets via internet alors que les réservations se font très facilement.

Very impressed with the efficiency and cleanliness of the Blue Star Ferry. The ship was very nice with different diversions for various age groups. Online booking was a big help.

Booked business class from Athens to Santorini. Great trip. No complaints. Would do it again.

We traveled Pireaus-Santorini-Naxos-Pireaus. It was ok, except that the ferry was around one hour late everythere. I also wanted to buy something to eat and drink, but the personal were not nice. Totally uninterested! We travelled Mid Oct so I suppose they were tired of tourists.

The Blue Star Ithaki to Mykonos from Piraeus was quite spacious & comfortable in the lounge area we'd booked a chair. I enjoyed the Greek snack pastries & sandwiches on board at reasonable prices too. The toilets were clean, modern, comfortable & functioning. It was also nice to be able to watch the blue Aegean Sea & some of the other islands along the route glide by from the open deck up-stairs. The crew were friendly & helpful. The trip was a nice experience. I didn't understand the Greek tv news discussion programme running though. The guys selling the soft nougat were cool too & the nougat tasted great! I can definitely recommend the Blue Star Ithaki for sure.

We did not expect the size of the ferry ship we are embarking. But when we got in it was very nice, clean and spacious. We wanted the fastest ferry available between Santorini and Athens but it was all booked for that day and so we decided to take the 7 hrs ferry instead. To our surprise it was a wonderful experience. The food and bar are reasonably price. If you are not in a hurry, it's the way to go. We just got the tourist rate for 37 euro per person via Blue Star ferries and I would recommend it.

It was a wonderful holidays for us, the ferry is comfortable and satisfying.

Travelled to Astipalia and Amorgas on the Blue Star Paros from Pireas and back and enjoyed everything, from the online booking to the good service and politeness on the ferry. The cabin was expensive but worth the cost for the added comfort.

Picked up our tickets the morning before we set sail to Mykonos from Piraeus. The Blue Star Ithki was comfortable, punctual & everything ran smoothly. The seats were comfortable & the food nice (traditional Greek cheese & spinach pies) & reasonably priced. We could go out on deck to see the other islands gliding by as we sailed through the sparkling, blue Aegean Sea. My experience was nice on the Blue Star Ithaki & I can highly recommend Blue Star Ferries. See you again next year for sure!

We were completely satisfied with our booking, we accidentally left our I-pad on the ferry on our way to Santorini, our host at our hotel called the ships captain and they retrieved it and then delivered it on their return in the evening. Hospitality above and beyond. We plan on returning in 2015!

We took the night ferry from Santorini to Piraeus in Sept and got the deluxe sleeping rooms. Rooms were VERY clean with decent shower and toilet. Comfortable beds. Check in was very fast and the crew was helpful. One tip: I would plan on packing your valuables and what you need for the night in a backpack and leaving your other luggage on the lower deck instead of trying to lug up and down stairs. Although the seas were a little rough that night, we all slept very good-- best sleep of our vacation. Got into Athens around 8:30 in the morning refreshed and ready to see the sights.

We traveled from Pireaus to Paros and the trip was perfect!

I have travelled on Bluestar Ferries from Piraeus to Santorini, Santorini to Paros and Paros back to Piraeus a couple of weeks ago, and the service was very reliable. Ferries depart and arrive on time, the crew is helpful and qualified and prices are affordable. However, I felt there was a slight lack of cleanliness on the vessels (regarding the economic part of the vessel).

I have just travelled to Mykonos on Blue Star and found it very nice. I paid extra to sit in Business class and it had a very nice café setting where you could sit and enjoy the view. The service here was amazing. Very friendly staff who were efficient and polite. I agree there needs to be some notification of upcoming port arrivals...but that being said it does add to the experience.

We live in Italy and were visiting two greek islands for my 60th birthday. Before aboarding the ferry from Santorini to Paros we got an sms from your ferry services wishing us a good trip and interest in feedback afterwards. Already that was service-oriented. I'm pleased to write an excellent review for your ferry services. The ferry arrived on time, an organized line to board and best of all escalators and elevators, so we did have to carry our luggage up stairs (we always overpack!). Staff to help/control on and off as well! The ferry was fairly new and very clean with all that one could desire, bars, TVs, even a MacDonald. When I went to the washroom I was surprised to see how clean the bathrooms were, then I noticed a schedule (with relevant signatures by the staff) on the door or wall stating that it was cleaned every hour. We stupidly were sitting around when we arrived at Paros port as we didn't see other folks getting up from their chairs (because they were continuing for Athens) and when we woke up and asked reception if we could go down they quickly phoned down to other staff that other passengers (us) had to still get off. One staff member escorted us in the elevator with our luggage while they called out my 24-yr old son's name over the loudspeaker to disembark immediately (he had wandered off!). I found our experience in both our ferry trips to be great: ferries punctual, staff efficient, professional and friendly (like all Greeks during our trip). I think I would go back to Greece just because I found the ferry company Blue Stars to be excellent.

Hello, Just made two trips on Blue Star Ferry to and from Naxos with my family. In general the quality is okay, especially the punctuality is good. However some things really need attention to make the trip on an air seat more comfortable: - the stewards allow anyone to use the seats without checking their seat numbers - passengers lie on the floor between seats and in front of the first row - the television is in Greek only The big seat and separate area are an advantage though, especially for nearly 5 hours. Brgds, Gus

I personal would not recommend travelling to Greek Islands via ferry. Even though I bought the ticket on line, I had to travel to the port beforehand to pick up the ticket. The young man that served me was completely disinterested and offered no service whatsoever. The communication while on board the Blue Star ferry was extremely poor, I had to ask another passenger who spoke English if they knew which Island was Mykonos, as I could quite easily have got off the ferry at any of the Islands and wouldn't have been aware until it was too late. I had someone ask me as well so I don't think I was the only one who was in the dark. The man serving the coffee just outright rude, which was surprising, because the time I had spent in Athens and Mykonos I found the Greeks to be very friendly and helpful, but not the staff on the ferry or the company.

Our first travel by ferry in Greece. Traveled Piraeus- Paros and back, economic class. Open deck, sea breeze, smooth ride. Departure and arrival right on time. Will definitely take these ferries again. Thank you Blue Star!

I booked the ticket view online thought your website. The Blue Star is comfortable. We can sit in the open area and enjoy the beautiful sea view and sunlight. Just a little inconvenience is that the exit is all stairs and it would be a hard job to leave the ferry with big luggage. Yet, it was a good ride!

Very impressed with timekeeping of service from Paros to Santorini and return. Interior of ferries has considerably improved from years ago! However, paid extra for "business class" and couldn't find any such designated area on board, so wasted money? Also agree with chaotic disembarkation, quite difficult if small in stature with luggage. Final point....why no Greek beer on sale from the bar?

I went to Patmos on the 7 pm Ferry on 5th Sep 2012 and returned on the 23.55 Ferry on 6th Sep 2012. When going to Patmos, I needed Internet connection. I bought one and then spoke to the lady at the Reception re TV volume and she yelled at me practically (she was already yelling at some one in Greek using her walkie-talkie), maybe because I was Indian. I was much offended at her behavior. The Internet speed was bad and I could not access from my seat in AK2. Even coming outside, the speed was slow and had to lug my bag along . There were lot of un-reserved passengers and I had fear of my luggage getting stolen and so was always conscious and could not enjoy the open air. On my return journey, my seat was already occupied by another lady and she was deep asleep (maybe drunk) and I had no help and took another seat. The AC was horrible that night and being Asthmatic I had a v difficult night on the Ferry. It is good that you asked. Hope you will take some corrective measures. Timing of the Ferry was good. Ambience is good. Ticket collection was easy but staff behavior was not so warm as if he was not happy that I am traveling with Blue Star Ferries.

We travelled on the Blue Star 1 from Kos to Syros and we enjoyed the journey. The facilities were very good with many different refreshment opportunities and clean toilets and seating areas. Disembarkation was a little chaotic but in some ways it added to the experience. If you asked my youngest child about her holidays, one of the first things she would tell you about with great enthusiasm would be the "bluestar"!

It was a bad experience travelling from Santorini to Piraeus. I booked two seats for my wife and myself and only realised that they reserved two seats in different rows . I spoke to the reception onboard to exchange seats and they were extremely rude saying that there was no place onboard to make a change . The restaurants onboard had no place to sit down because many of the passengers had seated themselves there for the whole voyage . We had to finally order food and eat it at the seats . The cruise vessel had good facilities all in all and it was a comfortable voyage but the management onboard is very poor overall and lacks certain proffessionality . There is scope for improvement . It was a rather unfortunate ending to our otherwise excellent vacation in Greece.

We made 4 reservations this summer: Piraeus - Paros, Paros - Naxos, Naxos - Amorgos, Amorgos - Piraeus. Very nice. Not one problem. But one serious remark: the arrival was always rather chaotic and dangerous. Too many hurried people in 1 starecase. Imagine that something happens at that moment ...all your preventions would have been made for nothing! No escape possible! Please think about it before it's too late.

From Athens everything was fine, except for the luggage. Economic class is very funny and confuse because you have to sit on restaurant´s table, but it is ok. The Crew doesn´t like to give you information about time of and location, i don´t know why. From Santorini, they were very unpolite . In the vessel they throw away you luggage and don´t give you even a minute to put your luggage by yourself to avoid to be broken. They start scream and you don´t have any warranty that you luggage will not be stole. The airseats are ver confortable and the vessel was very good

Beautiful, fast, and efficient way of travelling! I really enjoyed travelling on Blue Star Ferries and would definitely travel with them again and recommend it to all other travelers. Very affordable as well! Very good value for the cost!

ferry Mikanos to Naxos was very late....no communication....waited and waited in hot sun for almost 2 hours... ferry from Naxos to athens on time and fine
