Minoan Lines SANTORINI PALACE tour

A2B via Sea undertook the ten hour voyage between Piraeus (Greece) and Heraklion (Crete) aboard Minoan Lines Santorini Palace, a 2004 built high speed craft (HSC), via Syros, Paros, Naxos, Mykonos and Santorini.

Aboard there are three categories of lounges; Economy Class, Premium Class and VIP.

Economy can be found in the lowest deck with views to port and starboard and its own catering counter - though those in the middle of this high capacity lounge have no views of the passing vistas.

Economy can also be found on the main deck (amid ship and aft) where there are two catering counters, reception desk, shop and exterior deck.

The Premium Lounge is located at the forward end of the main deck - a spacious facility with views on three sides and its own catering counter.

Finally on the upper deck is the VIP Lounge with a glazed roof, its own large exterior deck and catering counter. No free WIFI or beverages are included despite the 30euro charge per person, though every seat has a power socket to charge electrical devices and if undertaking the full ten hour journey is really worth upgrading - not least due to its own exterior deck.

A separate video showing the ports of call can be found in this playlist

Very interesting! They love their TVs everywhere though, don't they? :-/

Nice video. I think you travelled after the summer season last year. Even the economy class was not full. embarkation is a little tough.
Happy travels.
