Why you’ll love this…
  • You'll set sail on a pirate-themed cruise that's suitable for the whole family
  • The outing includes a stop for a swim at St George's Bay
  • A barbecue lunch is served onboard the ship and it has some options for fussy eaters
  • The crew host themed games for little ones, as well as challenges and puzzles for bigger pirates
  • Every little sailor gets a kids-sized bandana to wear and they get a pirate certificate at the end
What to expect

Pirate Tim and Calypso the Parrot need all hands on deck to help track down their long-lost treasure. But first, you'll have to be fully trained in all the skills you need to become a TUI pirate. Setting sail from Chersonissos Port, our shipmates will make sure you get into the pirate spirit, with face painting and exciting themed games for the little scallywags, and challenges for the older crew members. Plus, there's a treasure map and clues to follow, so make sure you have your sharpest seafaring instincts at the ready.

Then, to take a break from all the swashbuckling fun, you'll drop anchor at St. George's Bay for a dip here – this quiet spot is ideal for relaxing and soaking up the views of the rocky cliffs and surrounding greenery. From here, you'll hop back on board for a Greek barbecue to refuel before another swim stop in Malia.
