Guest Comments Highlights 2025
We travelled with the Red Rose for one week with our four children and my parents. What an amazing time we had. We were supposed to be collected in Santorini, but due to weather we had to fly back to Athens. We were disappointed but very glad we followed Captain’s advice. As we were then able to travel to the Ionian Islands which was simply stunning. The islands were beautiful and the numerous animals and sea toys were brilliant. The crew were great with our somewhat unruly children and catered to us nicely. We had a lot of fun. The food was out of this world and Chef is a true artist! It was better than some Michelin starred restaurants.
We had a brilliant time and will forever remember this trip on the Red Rose!
