    Luke

    Asked on April 17th, 2026

    Is there cabin share female for this date? Solo traveller

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      We don't currently have a female room share on the 11th July date or any of our 2026 dates. Therefore, the single supplement will apply if you choose to book the trip. On the 11th July sailing date, we have both standard and premium cabins - subject to continued availability.

    • L

      Luke

      TravelerWritten April 2026

      I don't want single occupancy as can not afford that but let me know if you get a female cabin share please for 11 July

    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten April 2026

      We will certainly get in touch if we have a female room share opportunity. If not on the 11th July sailing date, perhaps on a date where this can be arranged.

    Henry

    Asked on February 5th, 2026

    Why your company at the Tourradar.com has a much better price than STM tours also at the Tourhadar.com for the same tour of 8 days at Corfu Island and other small Ionian Islands

    Price / Availability
    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      I can't answer for the other company but I can give you full details of what is included with our tour. There are 2 cabin options, standard and premium with the only difference being that the premium has an enclosed bathroom rather than a wet-room.

    • H

      Henry

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      How about the following week September 12th?

    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      Yes, we do have limited availability for Standard cabins only on the 12th September departure. We have both standard & premium cabins on the 19th September departure.

    Age Range
    Price / Availability
    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      Yes, we will be pleased to have you join us on our trip. Usually, our cabins have a double bed and a bunk bed in each cabin so you will be able to share a cabin with the kids. The scheduled departure starting on 12th of Jul 2025 till 19th of Jul 2025, is priced at €1035.00 per person sharing basis.

    William

    Asked on October 22nd, 2024

    Can a single person share in a multi bed room?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten October 2024

      I am so sorry, the single supplement is mandatory for this trip and it is priced at 675.00 AUD per person in addition to the tour price.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      My post was nothing to do with the cruise, it just happened to be on the side of my message that was about Treasures of Crete, I actually sent an attachment that I hope you received!

    Lynda

    Asked on January 22nd, 2024

    I am wondering what age group most of the passengers are on this trip? We are 69 and 70 and would not be so comfortable with all 30 year olds.

    Age Range
    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      The trip is open to travellers of all ages and our departures tend to be of mixed ages. We would know the exact group demographics a few days before the trip departs, but we took a booking for one of our Greek gulet cruises the other day for 2 people in their 80s. We offer a "party cruise" which attracts the much younger travellers though. So, at times, we have more mature ages on the Corfu cruises.

  • S

    Shirley

    Asked on October 5th, 2023

    Is there a surcharge for that?

    Single supplement
    • Encounters TravelOperatorWritten October 2023

      We have space on our 14th of Sep 2024 till 21st of Sep 2024, priced at $980.00 per person sharing basis plus single supplement of US$445.00 per person in a single cabin throughout the cruise.
