Alex's Honest Take
Blue Star is the best cruise operator in Ayia Napa right now — they launched a brand new 28-metre ship for 2026 and the standard is genuinely impressive. The Family Day Cruise is the best family boat trip on the island. The Sunset Cruise on Sunday evenings with live violin and champagne is one of the most romantic things you can do here. Book online early — the Sunset Cruise sells out most Sundays in July and August.

Why Blue Star
The Best Boat on the Ayia Napa Coastline
Blue Star is a brand new, purpose-built 28-metre cruise vessel — three full decks, a water slide, sun deck, entertainment stage and full catering facilities. It's the newest and largest cruise boat operating out of Ayia Napa harbour and in my 30 years here, nothing else comes close for a full day on the water.
I work directly with Blue Star as an official partner. You can book online instantly through this page with your 30% commission going to keep this guide free — or WhatsApp me directly and I'll sort it personally.
💡 Local tip from Alex
July and August dates fill up fast — especially the Sunset Cruise and Castle Club Boat Party. Book at least a week ahead in peak season. The Family Sea Adventure is slightly easier to get last minute but still worth booking early.

Yes — especially in July and August. The Sunset Cruise and Castle Club Boat Party sell out regularly in peak season. I recommend booking at least a week ahead for summer dates. For April, May, September and October you can usually book with shorter notice.
