ELIXIR BOUTIQUE CRUISES · GREECE
Boutique cruises through the Aegean, aboard small ships
Elixir Cruises offers boutique cruises in Greece aboard Elysium and Gemaya, sailing through the islands of the Aegean on a more intimate scale: fewer guests, a closer connection to the sea, and itineraries where the journey itself becomes part of the experience.
The Aegean reveals itself differently from the sea.
The size of the ship changes the experience
Sailing makes it possible to connect islands, landscapes, and ports while enjoying the comfort of returning to the same ship as the journey continues.
And when the ship is small, something else changes: the atmosphere becomes more personal, the sea remains present, and arriving at an island preserves some of that timeless excitement of watching it appear from the water.
Several islands within a single journey
Culture, landscapes, and Mediterranean life
Time at sea and time ashore
Simpler logistics between destinations
Small ships and a more human scale of travel
The sea as part of the journey, not simply the way from one place to another
Two ships, two ways to sail
Elysium
Elysium sails through the Cyclades, cultural landmarks, and UNESCO World Heritage sites, offering a choice of cabin categories together with the atmosphere of a small-capacity ship.
It can be an excellent choice for travelers who want to discover several islands while enjoying both the ports of call and life on board.
What sets it apart:
- — A variety of itineraries and cabin categories
- — Culture, history, landscapes, and sea
- — The convenience of using the ship as your base for exploring the Aegean
Gemaya
With only five cabins, Gemaya offers an especially intimate experience: few guests, close proximity to the sea, and an atmosphere reminiscent of sharing a small private yacht.
Its itineraries through the Aegean and the Saronic Gulf make sailing itself an essential part of the journey.
What sets it apart:
- — Very few guests on board
- — Privacy and a more intimate atmosphere
- — An especially close connection to the sea
Elysium or Gemaya?
Elysium offers the experience of a small-ship cruise, with more cabins and a choice of categories.
Gemaya takes that scale to its most intimate expression: five cabins and the spirit of a small yacht.
The itinerary matters. So does the atmosphere you want to find on board.

The sea is part of every day
An Elixir voyage combines time between islands with moments designed to make the journey itself worth savoring: Mediterranean flavors, wellbeing, encounters with local culture, and opportunities to enter the water wherever the Aegean invites you to linger.
Elysium was included by The Sunday Times in its 2024 selection of ten of the best small-ship cruises.
Flavors of the Mediterranean
Fresh ingredients, Mediterranean and internationally inspired dishes, seafood, and local specialties are prepared on board throughout the journey.
Wellbeing with a view
Wellness sessions, massages, and spaces to begin or end the day in rhythm with the sea and the living landscape around you.
Culture along the way
Ancient ruins, walks, cuisine, traditions, and local experiences add depth to the history and identity of the places you visit.
The Aegean, up close
Swim stops, small coves, and water activities turn the sea into more than the scenery surrounding the voyage.

We review the available options and the conditions of the voyage with you before you book.
Greece before and after
The voyage can become the heart of a larger journey: Athens before you sail, an island after you disembark, or a broader itinerary through Greece.
If you would like to extend the trip, we can design the journey around your Elixir sailing through our Custom Itinerary Design →
Your Elixir booking and Custom Itinerary Design are separate services.
Some journeys make the passage itself part of the experience
Elixir connects different faces of Greece through the sea: the horizon, the hours spent sailing, and that timeless Mediterranean thrill of watching an island emerge from the water.
Each voyage follows its own itinerary. A Contracorriente lies in the way you experience it: with attention, space, and enough time for the journey itself to become part of the memory.
