Are the cabins en-suite with a shower?

Where premium cabins are offered, these are the same as standard level cabins, the difference relates to the bathroom facilities, where standard cabins have a wet-room and premium cabins have a separate shower cubicle. The gulets we use are motorised pleasure craft with sails, and while they can manoevre under sail, the majority of the time the motor will be used. This is particularly the case during July and August when winds are very low. Strong winds also cause them to bank steeply and so time actually under sail is generaly very limited. These are not sailing vessels where you are expected to help with the rigging or take part in sailing as an activity. The gulets come with facilities for both outdoor and indoor dining. There are freezers to keep drinks cold, a CD/cassette player (so bring your music!), snorkels and masks, fishing lines and some board games. You will need to bring your own beach towel and other personal items with you. Charging points are available for your electronic devices in your cabin (you will need to bring an adapter).

These tours start with the itinerary, but are made or busted with the guide. Ours was Dominique (sp?). She was excellent! A lot of energy and passion, as well as information. She is an archaeologist, so she really knows the facts and can bring the ancient ruins to life. She is also very respectful of the monasteries and their inhabitants. The tour was well organized and run very well. Plus, we left a tablet in a hotel, and the hotel called to let her know. They went 5 minutes of their way in a busy schedule to get it back for us. Bravo for the extra effort!Show more

  Traveler•Written January 2026
  The price advertised on TourRadar does specify premium cabin with the word PRIVATE next to it. Does that guarantee us a en-suite with shower?
- Encounters TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  If you book a premium cabin, then you have a private cabin with an ensuite shower and toilet, yes.
