Creator's Key Takeaways

We are Sail Away with Bruce and Eileen, two seniors on a mission to help you cruise smarter.

We highly recommend getting there super early.

I highly recommend taking that ferry ride over to Oia first.

It was a delicious chicken souvlaki gyro, and Bruce had the layout.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Arrive early for tender tickets to avoid waiting 90 minutes.

✓Take the 30-euro ferry package to Oia first to see blue domes and caldera views.

✓Look for the speedboat transfer to Oia immediately after getting off the shuttle.

✓Sit on the left-hand side of the bus from Oia to Fira for picturesque ocean views.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Waiting in long lines for cable car or tender tickets — Get to the port super early and consider the ferry package to Oia to skip crowds.

Navigating Santorini's steps and donkeys — Avoid walking the slick steps or riding donkeys due to donkey welfare concerns; use the ferry and bus options.

YouTube Video Description↓

Just back from Santorini aboard the Enchanted Princess and we're sharing the BEST way to explore this stunning Greek island as a senior cruiser — without waiting hours in the cable car line! Santorini is a tender port, and we'll warn you: arrive early for tender tickets or you could wait 90 minutes like we did! Once ashore, skip the crowds and take the 30-euro ferry package to beautiful Oia first — see the iconic blue domes, stunning caldera views, and gorgeous flowers before busing back to Fira. Total cost? Just 40 euros per person including the cable car ride down. We also found great souvlaki in Fira at Nick the Grill — you don't want to miss it! Perfect for senior cruise travelers exploring the Greek Islands on Princess Cruises. We're Bruce and Eileen — a senior couple helping cruisers 65+ cruise smarter and spend less.
