Santorini Caldera Catamaran: Sunset Cruise & Hot Springs

Sail a luxury catamaran around the volcanic caldera as the Aegean sky turns molten gold — soaking in natural hot springs, snorkelling lava reefs, and dining on a Greek mezze spread. Santorini from the water is its most dramatic and beautiful self.

What to expect

Embark from Ammoudi Bay (below Oia) and round the caldera's dramatic cliffs, stopping first at the volcanic hot springs of Palea Kameni where iron-rich waters are said to rejuvenate the skin. Snorkel over ancient lava formations before anchoring for a full Greek mezze lunch with local wine and fresh seafood. As afternoon softens into evening, the catamaran positions perfectly beneath Oia for the legendary Santorini sunset. A dinghy transfers you back to the tender dock in Fira with time to spare.

Good to know

Santorini is a tender port — add 25 minutes each way. The sunset cruise timing aligns with most ships' late departures; confirm your ship's all-aboard before selecting morning vs. afternoon departure. Pre-book 6+ weeks out in high season (June–September).
