"Delos :oui. Naxos : non "
Le Delos est confortable, agréable par sa luminosité intérieure. Le Naxos ne devrait même pas exister,il est exiguë,il n'y a pas d'asssises pour tout le monde. Des chaises en plastique pour 7h de voyage c'est montrer peu de respect envers les êtres humains... Cela me rappelle certains événements dramatiques de l'histoire !!!.

"Great crossing but Direct Ferries need to get their act in order!"
Very impressed with the simplicity of the booking system and cannot fault the crossing itself. However..... the paper documentation, which called itself a “ ticket”:turned out to be no such thing. We queued to get on the boat and were turned away, sent to the ferry office Where we again queued for 25 minutes to exchange the paper for “ tickets”. We ran to the boat, the passenger gangplank was already up but we were allowed to go up the vehicle ramp. We have two more crossings booked but have learned from this experience and will visit ferry offices first.

The ferry trip was good. I recommend booking a seat as they are large leather reclining seats with plenty of legroom. This made the journey comfortable and relaxing. A fair amount of food and drink on board to buy. Taking a suitcase is a bit of a scrum at the end as it was so busy- not enough spaces for everyone’s suitcases and not organised at all, so be prepared to battle the crowds getting your cases back!

"Great experience"
Having previously travelled many years ago on the larger ships and more recently by the smaller faater hydrofoil from Athens to Paros we were relieved that the experience on the newer much larger ship was smooth, quiet and effortless. The tips I would give to any traveller - take your own snacks - food/drinks expensive. Get your tickets printed by Blue Star office asap to avoid any queues on day of departure. Also get to ship at least 45 mins b4 departure to get good seats. We booked business class which were great - but not allocated seating - so more choice if you are early on board. However all seats, even deck class looked 100% better than experiences of the ships in the 80s!

Overall service on the ferry was good and I only have two gripes. I couldn't get onto the ship's wifi (I know: first world problem!) but the staff member I asked just said it wasn't working with no further explanation, no apology. It was the same on the return trip. So not being able to access the on-board entertainment, which i figure I've paid for, did affect my overall rating. Also the storage of luggage on open shelves in the garage section of the ferry isn't secure so I didn't feel comfortable leaving my belongings there. Otherwise, no problems. Oh, if you want to have a seat inside I suggest you book one as it can get very crowded. Overall though: satisfied.

"Technical problems, terrible communication"
I recently travelled on a blue star ferry from Mykonos to Piraeus and I have to say it wasn't great. I'd used blue star ferries on a previous trip from Piraeus to Santorini and this was a much better experience, so I'd just like to point out that they aren't always bad. In the case of my trip from Mykonos though, they were bad. For starters, the ship was a lot older, dirtier and in a poorer condition than my previous experience. There was no economy lounge for starters which was a really nice aspect of my first trip. Then, most importantly, the ship has technical issues leaving one of the stop off points. We sat for 90 minutes without any information or announcement from the crew. Finally before we did take off again, we received an announcement that the ship was having technical issues and was delayed for an unknown amount of time. This was very frustrating to not be given a time scale seeing as people would have travel plans etc. We were also given nothing as an apology - a free sandwich or drink would have made the situation a lot more bearable and people would have felt that at least blue star were trying to make up for the delay. When they alighted at Piraeus. Even after the ship finally took off again, there was no information on what time we would arrive at our destination. Subsiquently it was 1hr 40mins late. Blue star ferries don't offer anything to people who have suffered delays on their services.

"Not great"
There were very few seats for economy tickets anyway but the trip was so packed on the way out that there was no where to sit, people were queuing and basically being forced to upgrade to the mountain of 'reserved' seats that were available - when booking, they should really make it clear how few seats there are. we had a simple burger and chips and it was luke warm both there and on the way back. Toilet was overflowing in to the hall on the way there towards the end of the trip. On the way back, it was a completely different ship and basically the only economy seats were in the burger bar, fixed plastic seats at a plastic table - really not great for a 5 and a half hour trip. We upgraded to business which was a massive lounge at the front of the ship not very dissimilar to the seating area in economy on the way going. It was also very empty (seemed like quite a waste). Cost of a coffee in there seemed more than in the normal area but it arrived in a nice glass cup with a biscuit and beer in a glass, though when we ordered a second it arrived in a paper cup as my husbands beer in a plastic cup - so not really consistent in terms of standards. Quite punctual though and quick turnaround. I recommend you thoroughly understand the ship you're booking on, what seating they have so you know what you're paying upfront rather than be stung on board and take your own food if you don't want to pay over the odds for cold food!

I love travelling in the grand old style of the Greek ferry. To me, Blue Star is the most recognisable. It may take longer than the current Sea Jets etc, but you really feel in touch with the sea and you can witness the individual island port arrivals and departures. It is also much cheaper than the Sea Jets.Going to Donoussa I travelled at night and so reserved seats which were very comfortable. Returning, we travelled during the day and so sat outside. Facilities were good and the toilet facilities were very clean. This is the second time I've travelled Blue Star and if time is not an issue then this is my preferred method of travel between the Islands. It won't be the last.

The registration process is fairly straightforward and most-importantly - ended with me and my wife having a pleasant journey from-to Piraeus and Syros. Catering consisted of typical Greek bread-snacks and a Goody's restaurant - a popular fast-food there which I strongly dislike but well - that's just a matter of taste. Prices are sort-of high, but not overwhelmingly so. Obviously, as it is everywhere in Greece, smoking is permitted pretty much everywhere - it's not a big problem though as the breeze clears the air nicely. I don't remember any information that the voucher you end up with must be exchanged to actual tickets in the port half an hour prior to departure - it should be stressed somewhere at the end of registration / on the ticket. Bear in mind the "I don't remember" part though - I might have forgotten that it was.

"Naxos trip with BSF Naxos ferry"
Wonderful Greece delivers again! Why travel with charter when it is so easy to book the travel on your own! This trip I made with my husband and our girls ages 3 and 5! The journey began 31st May, perfect time in Greece, and lasted until June 15th. We flew from Copenhagen to Athens with SAS. Landed at lunch and took a taxi to Piraeus, the bus is not recommendeded! The boat went in the afternoon so we had plenty of time. With reservation number we got the tickets in the harbour at Blue Ferries office. We boarded the ferry one hour prior to departure. I don't recommend the alternative fast ferries when travelling with children as they can move freely aboard the bigger ships. The trip to Naxos itself took about 5 hours but the time went very quickly. Naxos is a lovely island with beautiful sandy beaches and no large hotel complex. We stayed at Hotel Katarina in the village next to Naxos town - a perfect family hotel near the beach that i recommended highly! After a little more than 2 weeks at Naxos, we felt ready to go home, the boat went to Athens in the morning so at lunch we were in Athens and in the evening we flew back to Copenhagen!

Nice ferry and it provided us with a very comfortable crossing on this trip. The crossing was exactly on time too so bravo to the team at Blue Star Ferries.
