VIKING CRUISES MS H&B - Motor Yacht Cruises in the Greek Islands

The boat is the delightful M/S H & B, a new 40 meter wooden 3 masted schooner with 20 cabins for 40 guests. Informality is the order of the day - in dress, in what you choose to do, in spirit and in style.

We will cruise you with a passion, at a price that is affordable, in an atmosphere of sheer friendliness, and with a gracious Greek crew as your hosts.

With us you regain the joy of life and return refreshed of body and mind - with a secret inner glow that comes naturally with Viking Star Cruises. We know the Greek islands like our own backyard and, with our helping hand, you too, will find Greece to be a very special part of the world.

Viking Cruises appeal to a highly diverse, highly educated clientele. Regardless of age, all share a spirit of adventure and curiosity, and a desire to enjoy life in their own individual manner.

A family business founded by three brothers of Greek and Swedish heritage, Viking Cruises offers the best of two worlds: the convenience of a pre-arranged group program and the joy of personal discovery known to those who travel on their own.

There are 10 large and comfortable cabins on main deck including the huge Master Cabin plus 9 double cabins on the lower deck.

Cruising speed 9-10 knots. Crew of 9

The cruises are small enough for everyone to be on a first name basis by the end of the first day, and large enough to ensure good company.

The average cruising time is about 4 hours daily - usually in the morning. The rest of the day and night is spent on the islands for exploration, excursions, shopping, beaches, swimming and relaxation.

There is ample time for sun-worshipers to loll around the beach...for history buffs to search for more fallen columns...for taverna goers to raise another ouzo and join in the dancing.

No other Greece vacation package is able to offer the superlative value, intelligent approach and the just plain fun of a Viking cruise. That is why Arthur Frommer has recommended Viking Cruises in EUROPE ON $45 a DAY for 25 years in a row, and why more than 150,000 North Americans have traveled with Viking since the day they began a quarter century ago.

All cabins with private facilities, air conditioning all through, large lounge/dining room, huge deck with deck-chairs.
