Istanbul and the Sporades From Istanbul to Athens

A beautiful greek island cruise on CM2! We booked a suite which was spacious with 2 bathrooms and 2 cupboards, somehow newly renovated. I loved the extra space! Our cabin lady Rizza was just super adorable! In general service and food has been upgraded since last year that was a very nice surprise! The staff is led by Adrien the CDV who practices leadership at its Best and it shows! Lyora from the excursion desk, Tan and Manauly from the conciergerie, Laura from the Spa, adorable Anouk from the teens club, Stephane & Milan from the nautical hall and everybody from the service personnel, thank you very much for this nice stay! Forgive me if I forgot somebody because you were all actually wonderful! Always happy sailing, Nathalie & Kimon

Lovely trip in the Caribbean with really good food, especially considering we were on a sailing boat! An amazing experience, and a massive thanks to Isabelle, Denise, and Lucas for their energy and kindness! Thanks also to the rest of the crew (everyone we met, to be honest) and to Stéphane, even though the nautical hall was not open :( We’ll definitely come back to the Mediterranean Sea to try it for sure!

We made a cruise with Club Med 2 beginning of July 2024 for a week visiting the Italian coast from Rome to Palermo (2 adults and 3 teenagers). We had never done a cruise before so a little afraid but it turned out to be a success.

The boot is not the youngest so do not expect glides, game rooms, … but it has the old grandeur with the sails, nice decks, …
The cabins are rather small so I would recommend to take a suite like we did as they have a small seating area and 2 bathrooms.
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, be it in the restaurant, bars, nautical deck, …The food is very nice and quite refined although you also have teenager food.

I understand that in general the passengers on the boat are pensioners which was also the case for our cruise, much appreciated BTW as it means peace and tranquility and no (would be) influencers. You should count on about 200 passengers. The only downside is that when you do organized trips the pace is very slow given the number of pensioners.

The good thing about the boat compared to the huge cruise ships, is that it can attend both the big cities but also the small costal towns. As such we visited small islands which are otherwise impossible to visit. The boat then just lies off the coast and they bring you with small vessels to the coast all day long. But you can also stay on the boat and do all kind of watersports on the nautical deck.

Bottom line: if you like parties, kicks, modern ships, slides, several restaurants, … then avoid this ship. If you like more refined peace and tranquility then I can only recommend Club Med 2

De l'accueil au port de Nice jusqu'au retour, tout s'est déroulé merveilleusement bien !! Les cabines sont spacieuses et confortables, les activités variées (quel luxe de pouvoir faire du ski nautique, kayak ou paddle depuis le hall nautique à l'arrière du bateau), ou descendre avec la navette qui nous dépose sur les lieux d'escales, et bien sur une équipe de GO vraiment extras, toujours à l'écoute et dynamiques. Pour les soirées, il y a plusieurs options, (spectacle, groupe de musique qui était top en mettant l'ambiance latino). Bianca la responsable de l'animation proposait chaque après-midi ou soir différentes formules, et elle mettait bien l'ambiance dans la discothèque !
Bref nous retournerons avec grand plaisir sur ce joyau des mers après ce séjour inoubliable

nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans les Cyclades avec une organisation au top.
bateau très convivial avec un personnel restauration + chambre très professionnel (merci à Mickael pour la chambre).
merci à Manauly pour sa disponibilité et son service.
bravo à tous les GO qui étaient très pro : hall nautique , boutique et tous les autres
bravo à Adrien cdv pour son dynamisme et sa présence au quotidien parmis les GM.
