In this article, we’ll explore what makes the Motor Yacht Irini the perfect choice for an exceptional Greek getaway!

Why Rent a Luxury Yacht in Greece?

To begin with, Greece is renowned for its stunning coastline, rich ancient history, and breathtaking landscapes. It’s also home to some iconic islands like Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete. While these destinations are famous, the true magic of Greece reveals itself when experienced from the sea. With over 6,000 islands and islets, many of which are only accessible by boat, a private yacht charter grants exclusive access to hidden gems and untouched natural beauty that many tourists never see.

Cruising through the stunning waters of Crete on a luxury yacht offers a unique opportunity to experience the island at your own pace. Therefore, imagine relaxing on deck as the sun sets over serene bays, with the enchanting backdrop of the Cretan landscape surrounding you.

Motor Yacht Irini: Luxury and Comfort Combined

At Chania Cruises, the Motor Yacht Irini stands as one of our most luxurious options for those seeking an upscale yachting experience. Launched over a century ago in Liverpool as the M/S Silver Cloud, this yacht has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a personal vessel owned by a wealthy Englishman to a beloved cruise ship in the picturesque waters of Chania.

In 1955, the yacht was renamed Monica after being transferred to Greek ownership, cruising the Mediterranean for decades. However, in 1989, it was rebranded as M/Y Irini, delighting guests with exceptional service and stunning views of the Cretan coastline. After significant renovations and upgrades, the great yacht resumed its journeys, providing top-notch safety and luxury.

In 2024, M/Y Irini joined Creta Luxury Cruises, undergoing further renovations to offer unmatched services for a yacht of its size. With its rich heritage and modern comforts, M/Y Irini is the perfect choice for travelers looking to explore Greece’s hidden gems.
