Luxury family-friendly cruise from Ayia Napa | Lunch included
Location: Nicosia District, Cyprus
Duration: 4 – 5.5 hours
Quick Overview
Imagine gliding along the coast of Cyprus on a sleek, modern boat, with crystal-clear waters inviting you for a swim, and stunning sea caves providing a dramatic backdrop. For around 4 to 5.5 hours, this luxury family cruise from Ayia Napa offers a relaxing way to see some of the most beautiful spots in the area, with the added bonus of lunch included plus a drink.
The cruise is designed to be family-friendly and accessible, making it ideal for travelers of all ages, including those who require wheelchair access. You’re picked up from your hotel and brought straight to the harbor, where the boat awaits.
Two things we really appreciate: First, the well-planned stops at the Blue Lagoon, Green Bay, and the impressive sea caves of Cape Greco—each offering fantastic photo ops and swimming opportunities. Second, the meals catered to various dietary needs, including kids and vegetarians, which adds real value to the experience.
A possible consideration is the weather — since you’ll be outdoors most of the time, a cloudy or windy day might slightly affect your comfort and views.
This tour is best suited for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a leisurely, scenic adventure that combines comfort, stunning scenery, and some fun in the water.

A Deep Dive into Your Coastal Adventure
When booking a cruise in Ayia Napa, you’re often faced with a choice between lively parties or quiet scenic passages. This tour leans heavily into the latter, offering a luxurious and family-friendly take on exploring the coast. The new, modern vessel promises a smooth ride, and its design ensures you’re comfortable whether you’re lounging on deck or enjoying the scenery from a shaded area.
Starting at Ayia Napa Harbour, the cruise begins with a warm welcome from friendly crew members who speak English, Greek, and Arabic. The convenience of hotel transfer included makes it straightforward to start your day without worrying about logistics. Arriving at the harbor, you’ll notice the sleek boat ready for your adventure, often described as “beautiful” and “spacious,” which hints at how comfortable you’ll feel throughout the trip.
The Itinerary: What You Can Expect
Swim Stops at Blue Lagoon & Green Bay
The highlight of this cruise is undoubtedly the swimming opportunities. The Blue Lagoon and Green Bay are renowned for their crystal-clear waters and peaceful surroundings. You’ll love the way these spots offer a refreshing escape from the boat, especially on warm days. The water is calm and inviting, perfect for children and leisurely swimmers alike.
Sea Caves of Cape Greco
Next, you’ll cruise past the sea caves, dramatic formations carved over centuries. Many travelers mention the stunning views and the chance to capture memorable photos. Our review of other similar cruises praises these caves as “a real highlight,” adding some drama to your coastal sightseeing.
Love Bridge & Coastal Scenery
Another eye-catching feature is the Love Bridge, a natural rock formation that’s iconic in Cyprus. The boat drifts close enough to appreciate its grandeur and take pictures. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, with music playing in the background, enhancing the leisurely mood.
The Meal & Drinks: A Well-Thought-Out Bonus
For many, the included lunch is a real perk. The menu offers choices for everyone, including kids’ meals and vegetarian options, ensuring no one goes hungry or feels left out. The fact that one drink is included—whether a soft drink, water, or perhaps some wine—adds to the sense of value. Many reviews mention that the food was surprisingly good for a boat lunch and that it was “more than just a sandwich.”

Why This Tour Stands Out
Unlike some party boats or generic cruises, this experience emphasizes comfort, scenery, and family-friendly fun. The modern ship design, combined with carefully selected stops, makes it particularly appealing for those traveling with children or seniors. The spectacular views of sea caves and the iconic Love Bridge provide plenty of photo opportunities, and the swimming stops mean you can truly enjoy the water rather than just look at it.
The value for money is notable, considering the all-inclusive lunch and drink, the hotel transfer, and the scenic stops. Travelers have appreciated the generous meal options and the relaxed atmosphere, making it a worthwhile choice for a laid-back day out.
Authentic Traveler Thoughts
One reviewer mentioned, “We loved the way the crew made everyone feel comfortable, and the scenery was just breathtaking.” Another highlighted the clean, spacious boat and the smooth ride as key positives. The stunning views of the coastline and caves are often highlighted as “the best part,” reinforcing how critical scenery is to this experience.
Who Should Consider This Tour?
If you enjoy scenic water views, swimming, and good food, this cruise ticks all the boxes. It’s perfect for families with kids who want a safe, engaging outing, or for couples seeking a relaxed day on the water with beautiful surroundings. Given the wheelchair accessibility and easy logistics, it’s also well-suited for travelers with mobility considerations.
Active explorers might find some of the other tours more adventurous, but for those who prefer a comfortable, scenic, and value-packed cruise, this option hits the mark.
The Sum Up
This luxury, family-friendly cruise from Ayia Napa offers a well-rounded combination of stunning scenery, comfortable amenities, and delicious food. It’s designed to provide a relaxed, scenic escape that appeals to all ages, with the added convenience of hotel transfers and accessibility. Whether you’re looking for a fun water adventure, a chance to snap beautiful photos, or simply enjoy a peaceful cruise, this trip delivers.
The scenic stops at Blue Lagoon, Green Bay, and the impressive sea caves ensure you leave with plenty of memories and photos, not just a boat ride. The inclusions—lunch and a drink—offer great value, especially considering the quality and variety.
If you’re seeking a laid-back, scenic day that combines comfort, beautiful landscapes, and family-friendly fun, this cruise is an excellent choice in Ayia Napa. It’s a relaxing way to see some of Cyprus’s most beautiful coastlines without breaking the bank or sacrificing comfort.
