From Pafos: Ocean Flyer VIP Cruise – Adults Only

Imagine stepping aboard a sleek, luxurious yacht with only a handful of fellow travelers, cruising along the rugged coastline of Paphos. This 5-hour VIP cruise offers a taste of the high life on the Mediterranean, with the chance to relax on deck, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch. For those seeking a more refined and intimate experience than the typical boat trip, this adults-only cruise checks all the boxes.

Two things we particularly love about this experience are the personal touch of limited guests—capped at 65 on a yacht licensed for 150—and the spectacular views of natural sea caves and Coral Bay that are simply breathtaking. The seamless hotel transfer adds a layer of convenience, letting you focus on soaking in the scenery and enjoying your time.

One possible consideration is the weather dependency. As with any outdoor activity, the cruise’s schedule and route depend on weather conditions, so it’s good to keep an eye on the forecast. Also, since the cruise is geared towards adults, families with young children might want to look elsewhere for a more kid-friendly experience.

This tour is perfect for travelers who enjoy a quiet, sophisticated day at sea, savoring good food and drinks, and discovering the stunning Cypriot coastline away from the crowds. If you’re after a relaxed, high-quality experience with a focus on comfort and scenic beauty, this cruise is just the ticket.
