  • Service On Time

    We departed at Rafina in the early morning at about 7:45 am But the ferry had been waiting for the passengers before 7:20 am! The staff were so polite and answered to our questions friendly. The ferry was so clean and the seats were so comfortable. The weather was not so good that day and very windy during the journey from Rafina to Tinos. But the ferry was still stable and drove safety. If the sailing details was clearer at Tinos' port, it would be prefer! Very good experience!

  • Missed the boat - literally

    The booking and notification process was excellent. The travel experience did not go so well. Our family of 5 was booked on the Blue Star to Paros on the last ferry out for the day. I left my family at the ferry while returning the car rental. My return back to Pireaus was longer than expected due to traffic, I was arriving by taxi just on time. My children advised the crew at the door that I was 30 seconds away (with no luggage) but the crew closed the door as I was standing feet away from the edge of the dock. I understand that I should have been at the dock earlier but considering it was the last ferry of the day, it would have been nice for them to give it a minute. I went to the Blue Star office but they did not want accommodate me even with a change fee charge for the ferry out the next morning, they said I had to buy a new ticket altogether. I know it is not Blue Star's fault I arrived late at the dock but the experience was unpleasant as it left me stranded at the port overnight.

  • Excellent

    [Translated from French]
    Everything was perfect. The boarding, the seats, the information and services on board. We enjoyed the bar and the food. The ship was clean.

  • Ferry to Aegina and Angistri

    A great experience. The ferries were on time, clean, and in great condition.

  • A beautiful trip

    Thank you Blue Star for your comfortable seats!

  • Trip to Skiathos and return

    We travelled by car to Volos and took the ferry via Skiathos; the price is not cheap for the car but the experience with the boarding, helpfull staff ( they helped us carrying the baby stroll each time ) seating areas and over all clean deck and services provided were great!
