Warm hospitality extends from your cabin steward, your waiter and bar staff who take care of any of your requests with attentive, good, old-fashioned service. While on the larger ships you can feel that you're just a number, cruise on Athena and you will be recognised by name, enjoy fine cuisine and high-class entertainment. Our Officers, Chefs and Crew are cruising veterans with excellent professional reputations built after decades of worldwide cruising. Our repeat guests average from 30 per cent up to 50 per cent on longer cruises, some making the line voyage to or from Europe an annual event. Our reputation is to offer value-for-money cruise holidays and many of our passengers return with friends or family, which to us is the ultimate compliment.
