Things that we love most about Athena Luxury Cruise

Bar & Lounge: The cruise arranges an indoor bar with a romantic and cozy vibe on the second deck. Meanwhile, the open sky bar on the third floor brings great relaxation and harmonious nature while sipping a glass of wine and enjoying the mesmerizing seascape. 

Restaurant: The restaurant is designed in a semi-classical style. Lights spread throughout the dining area on the second floor. The wooden chairs are upholstered and leather, bringing you luxury and great comfort. 

Spa & Sauna: The third deck boasts several double and single-treatment massage rooms and a high-class sauna, which give a uniquely exhilarating experience. 

Sundeck: The cruise provides a large sunbathing area with a fulfilling amount of equipment for you to relax under the glorious sun. You can also order a drink at the outdoor bar.
