Our cruise was exceptional. The Captain was outstanding – cheerful, helpful and service oriented. He created a great atmosphere with his crew and nothing was too much trouble. Food was the best of our 6 Zephriya trips!

Loved every minute of this holiday. The views, the coves and seeing so many turtles was amazing. The food was fantastic too! I also felt the Captain made our trip extra special and can not thank him enough!

We love to come back as this is the third time we have been on board! Highlights, turtles, shopping in Bodrum, food and service!!

The trip far exceeded my expectations. My mother and father were made to feel like King and Queen on their 48th wedding anniversary. I count not ask for more. The itinerary, the boat, the booking experience all were top notch

The trip was a big family event and everything was perfect. The crew could not have been more attentive and helpful. The food was exceptional and there was always something for all age groups (8 adults + 8 kids from 16 and younger). We are so grateful for everything.

It was amazing. What a fantastic week where there was so many highlights. The food was incredible. Thank you all so much for making the best weeks holiday we have ever had.

It is a very wonderful holiday. The staff are very friendly, extremely helpful and sociable. Tuna discussed with me, talking about the geography of Turkey and has very good english. I am 83 years old and value being on this trip. The food is healthy, tasty and excellent choice.
