"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 !!!.
"Comfortable seats, but woefully understaffed cafe "
The cafes are woefully understaffed, whatsmore by people that don't know how to wear masks (cover your nose!)
"Oops! You left us all behind in Paros!!"
We queued in the correct ‘pens’ in Paros, our ferry arrived….but no-one opened our gates 3&4 where we were waiting, and the ferry left without us. Luckily for us, there was another of your ferries 1/2 hr later, and we all got on that! It was traumatic to see our ferry depart without us.
"Another great trip with Blue Star Naxos"
Excellent trip back to Athens from Paros on Blue Star Naxos. It’s worth paying that little extra to travel Business Class where the lounge is quiet and restful and with excellent waiter service throughout the trip.
"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.
"Ferry cancelled"
The Blue Star ferry we were booked on was cancelled because of a strike. We had to pay an additional 22 euros to travel on a later ferry with a different company so we were not impressed with Blue Star.
"Blue star Naxos"
Was due to travel on Blue Star Naxos. Arrived at Paros Port. No sign of where to wait. Eventually spoke to a port worker who said it had been cancelled due to a technical problem and to catch the next ferry Blue Star Delos over an hour later. No e-mail received from Direct ferries or Blue Star.
"Good ferry"
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!
"Just if you want to be treated like rubbish "
Not a problem with the ship, but with the customer service and the company. Awful office staff with zero problem solving skills. Rude, disinterested and very unhelpful.
"Pleasant ride"
Delightful ride among the Greek Islands to the mainland on a sunny mild July day. Ticket printing idea is a little awkward after purchasing it online. Three agencies next door to each other and not particularly distinguished from each other.
"Great Trip"
Travelling between Piraeus and Naxos was fast, comfortable and very pleasant. The ferries are super clean with plenty of seating and facilities. Lots of staff on hand to provide guidance on where to go. Service was on time. Food was ok and reasonably priced.
"Bad Communication "
My wife broke her leg the day before we were supposed to go on holiday. We called on the 26th of June and spoke to somebody who told us they would check to see if we could re-book for September or get a refund and they said they would call us back or email us. Nearly two weeks later and we have not heard anything from anyone. We booked with direct Ferries last year with no issues so are very disappointed with the service this time.
"Super traversée !"
Pour un prix plus que raisonnable dans la section économique, et si vous arrivez tôt, vous aurez un siège très confortable à l'intérieur du bateau. Et le café du comptoir restaurant est délicieux !
"Could have been better"
Generally efficient service but the crew did not appear friendly. Most of them sat with grumpy face as if they were forced into sitting there. We have been used to very friendly and helpful crew in cruise ships and therefore our expectation was a bit more. Was happy with the punctuality.
"Trip to Paros and Naxos"
Great trip. Bost was on time both trips, employees were helpful and check-in to check out was flawless
"Beware smokers are everywhere a problem if asthmatic "
It all works somehow, the loading, timetable etc. But for us we had a difficult crossing despite enjoying the views including dolphins because of all the cigarette smoking. People bring their own ash trays and smoke inside/outside wherever, the designated smoking areas are also the nicer places to sit outside. Not great if you suffer from asthma as I do.
"Blue Star Naxos"
Lovely smooth trip ,nice comfortable Seats for our 8hr trip qqq
"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!
"Great & reliable service for a pleasant trip "
Excellent ferry service - the ship was clean and tidy in all areas, from deck to the reserved seating rooms. Took the cabin once and it was really comfy. The catering on board is of great quality - for very reasonable prices! Staff is also really helpful.
"Confusing signs and not very helpful staff"
The Ferries are usually late and no information is given. Very bad signposting - many people wandering around lost and trying to find their way out with no staff around to help. The ship is ok and facilities adequate. Good outdoor areas.
"Beautiful trip. Very helpfull staff!! THANKS A LOT!!!"
We arrived at the port in the last minute before departure because our documents had been stolen in Athens. We luckily got emergency passports fast so we rushed to the port while we talked to the great staff at Blue Star Port Offices. They prepared our boarding tickets so that when we arrived we could board super fast. If it weren’for them we would have lost a day in Paros. They helped to take the sad experience in Athens away from our heads and continue our trip as planned!! Thanks!! Thanks Lina!!
"Very, very nice"
We started in economy but the seas were very choppy. I upgraded to first class which was very affordable! We were very comfortable in our cabin. We also stepped outside to the deck lounge and could have used the comfortable seats had we wished. The cabin was comfortable and clean with a full bath, window a beds! We were very pleased!
"from athens to paros"
very nice experience
"Great ride"
Nice ferry ride. No Complaints regarding the ferry. Only complaint I have it that we had to pay an additional 1EUR per person to have our tickets printed at the ticket office. This was not communicated to is before hand and we had taken a few ferries before this, this was the first time the ticket office asked money to print the ticket.
"Very clean cabin "
Extremely pleased with the cabin especially the clean sheets!
"Blue Star Ferries"
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.
"Great service"
Really good service, easy crossings all to schedule and very comfortable on board. Great way to start and end the holiday.
"all aboard!"
We decided to travel to Syros via Piraeus this year and overall it was a good experience. The ferries were clean though obviously very full and the return journey was very rough seas but we had fun out on the deck in the wind! It was easy to book online and also to pick up the tickets at the port. We will travel this way again next year.
"Great service"
Ship leaves and arrives in time. Extra: my son lost a camera on the boat. Thanks to Blue Star he has got it back! I could pick it up in Pirraeus. Thanks!
"Great journey"
Boat left on time, we had a lovely journey. Refreshments available. Storage for suitcases on garage deck means they do not have to be carried up to the seating. We were a group of five ranging from 2 to 68 years, it was great.
"Negative experience"
Some members of the staff were so unpolite in the boat. Crying to people that asked some simple questions like 'where should i put my luggage?' Very dirty toilets. And problems with ventilation inside the boat!
"Very good!!!"
Very good!!
"Ferry to syros"
Ship was great but direct ferries should supply name of ship as cabdriver had trouble finding it.
"An enjoyable experience"
Not used a major ferry in Greece for 30 years, what a difference. Clean, stable in strong wind and fast. Quick on/off
