When you think of Santorini, a few iconic images come to mind—whitewashed buildings perched on volcanic cliffs, the warm glow of a golden sunset over the caldera, and the sparkling blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Now imagine experiencing all this from the deck of a private catamaran, with delicious Greek cuisine, refreshing drinks, and uninterrupted panoramic views. This is exactly what you get with the Caldera by Catamaran – Private Cruise with BBQ, offered in partnership with TPO.Travel, your go-to provider for exclusive travel services across Europe.
In this blog-style travel article, we dive deep into what makes this private catamaran cruise a must-do experience for travelers visiting Santorini and how TPO.Travel ensures a seamless, luxurious, and memorable journey for all their guests.

Designed for families, couples, or small groups, this private cruise offers the perfect setting for special occasions—be it a honeymoon, anniversary celebration, or a family getaway. Every aspect of the trip, from the route to the onboard menu, is curated with your preferences in mind.
Setting Sail: What to Expect on Board
From the moment you board the luxury catamaran, the Aegean adventure begins. You’re welcomed with a complimentary drink, setting a relaxed tone for the voyage ahead. The crew, professional yet friendly, makes you feel instantly at home, guiding you through the itinerary and ensuring your every need is met.
Unlike crowded group tours, this private cruise gives you the freedom to chart your own course around the Caldera. Whether you want to linger in the turquoise waters of the Hot Springs, snorkel near the Red Beach, or simply relax and watch the cliffs of Santorini slide by, the itinerary can be adjusted to your pace and preferences.
The catamaran itself is a beauty—spacious and well-equipped, offering ample shaded and sun-drenched lounging areas. With limited guests on board, you get uninterrupted privacy, comfort, and space to relax and take in the views.
A Culinary Journey on the Aegean Sea
One of the highlights of the cruise is the onboard dining experience. TPO.Travel partners with the best in the region to serve you a sumptuous BBQ meal on deck. Think sizzling chicken fillets and pork sausages fresh off the grill, accompanied by traditional Greek delicacies such as tzatziki, fava, and eggplant dip. Freshly prepared salads and seasonal fruits round out the meal, followed by a delicious dessert that pairs perfectly with the salty breeze and sea views.
And what’s a Greek meal without some local wine? The open bar features chilled white Santorinian wine, local beers, and soft beverages, keeping your glass filled throughout the journey. The combination of mouthwatering food, top-tier service, and the serenity of the sea creates a dining experience you’ll remember long after your cruise ends.
The Beauty of the Caldera: A Different View of Santorini
What sets this cruise apart is the perspective it offers. Santorini is famous for its cliffside views, but seeing the island from the water reveals a completely different side of its beauty. Sailing through the Caldera gives you front-row views of the island’s dramatic geology—steep cliffs formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, layered with red, black, and white rock.
As you glide across the water, the captain will anchor at various secluded spots perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The warm, mineral-rich waters near the Hot Springs are especially popular for a rejuvenating dip. You can also explore the volcanic beaches, whose vibrant colors and unique textures contrast beautifully against the Aegean blue.
As the cruise nears its end, prepare for one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of all—the Santorini sunset. The catamaran anchors in a prime location, offering unobstructed views of the sun dipping below the horizon. The sky transforms into a canvas of purples, oranges, and pinks, and the reflection on the water creates a magical atmosphere that’s hard to capture in words or photos.
