A UAE-headquartered line — fly-cruise the Cyclades from Athens on a boutique yacht, April to October

Elixir is a genuinely small, boutique operation — two named yachts sailing the Greek islands — best suited to GCC clients wanting an intimate, high-touch cruise rather than a mainstream fleet.

Elixir Cruises sails two small yachts of its own: Elysium (64 metres, 25 cabins), based in Lavrion for an Aegean season, and M/Y Gemaya, typically sold by individual cabin. The company is headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE, with its management office in Piraeus — a rare cruise operator with its own Gulf base.

The product is the Cyclades: week-long round trips from Lavrion (Athens) calling at Mykonos, Santorini, Milos, Sifnos, Naxos and Serifos, with themed departures through the April–October season and one Greece & Turkey itinerary. We wholesale Elixir inventory to our agent network, so you can package it with confidence while being upfront with clients about the boutique scale of the operation.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Elixir sail?

The Cyclades, on week-long round trips from Lavrion (Athens) between April and October — Mykonos, Santorini, Milos, Sifnos, Naxos and Serifos. Elixir is headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah, and Athens is four to five hours from any Gulf hub, so it sells as an easy short-haul fly-cruise.

How big are Elixir's ships?

Elysium carries 50 guests across 25 cabins; Gemaya has just 5 suites and is typically sold by individual cabin rather than full-ship charter.

Is Elixir a good fit for large groups?

Not usually — given the very small scale of both yachts, Elixir suits couples, small groups and bespoke charters rather than large multi-cabin bookings.

What's included in an Elixir fare?

Cabin amenities, buffet breakfast plus half-board dining, a welcome cocktail and non-alcoholic drinks are included on Elysium; Gemaya's fare additionally includes an open bar, port taxes, transfers and water toys.

Can Elixir be booked as a private charter?

Yes — both yachts are used for private charters, incentive groups, honeymoons and small theme cruises alongside their scheduled itineraries.

When does the Elixir season run?

April to October, from Lavrion (Athens). Elixir publishes themed departures across the season — UNESCO heritage, wellness at sea and Greek Easter among them — plus one Greece & Turkey itinerary.
