A Protaras sunset cruise puts you on the water for golden hour, with Cape Greco, Turtle Cove and the Blue Lagoon on the route. Find more trip ideas on Greece Tours. Each sunset gig sold from Protaras gets its own section, followed by the coast, the sunset times, the swim stops, the weather rules and booking.
What is a Protaras sunset cruise?
A Protaras sunset cruise is an evening boat trip from the Protaras coast of Cyprus. The sun goes down while you are on the water. GetYourGuide lists these trips at 3 to 6 hours, with a swim stop, a meal or music.
GetYourGuide keeps a Protaras page for sunset activities. It lists 13 of them: 12 boat trips and one guided hike at Cape Greco. This page follows the boat trips from the Protaras coast and adds the sunset boats that Viator sells there.
Other sellers split the same coast between them. CheckYeti heads its Protaras sunset list with 12 offers from eight providers. The list includes two glass-bottom trips, four private trips and an 80s and 90s DJ yacht.
Photographers call the last stretch before sunset the golden hour. Wikipedia says daylight in that period is redder and softer than when the sun sits high. Viator sells a Golden Hour Sunset Cruise in Cyprus from Protaras, so the term also names a product.
The point where the sun goes down moves with the season. Wikipedia says the sun sets to the northwest in spring and summer in the northern hemisphere. In autumn and winter it sets to the southwest.
Our Cyprus tours page covers the whole island. For the daytime routes, read our Protaras boat trip page. The sections below sort each Protaras sunset cruise by style, berth, boat and start time.
Which Protaras sunset cruise styles can you book?
GetYourGuide sells a Protaras sunset cruise in five styles. They are swim-and-sights sails, dinner and DJ nights, family slide boats, open-bar catamarans and a VIP trip. The list below gives each gig title and its length.
- Swim and sights: Protaras: Turtle Cove & Blue Lagoon Sunset Cruise (3 hours); Protaras Cruise: Blue Lagoon & Caves (Morning or Sunset) (3 hours); Aerosa Sunset at Protaras and Ayia Napa (4 hours).
- Dinner and DJ: Protaras: 80s and 90s Sunset Cruise with Cypriot Dinner & DJ (3.5 to 5 hours); Protaras: Halloween Fancy Dress – 70s, 80s & 90s DJ Sunset (3.5 hours).
- Family and slide: Protaras: Family Aqua Sunset Chill blue lagoon with Slide (3 to 4.5 hours); a luxury sunset yacht with a slide and a barbecue (3.5 to 5 hours).
- Catamaran: Ayia Napa/Protaras: Sunset Catamaran w/ Open Bar and Buffet (4.5 to 5.5 hours); Ayia Napa/Protaras: Adults-Only, All-Incl. Sunset Catamaran (5 to 6 hours).
- VIP: From Ayia Napa: VIP Sunset Cruise with Blue Lagoon Swim (4 hours).
GetYourGuide also files the Blue Lagoon pirate cruise, a 3-hour trip, on its Protaras sunset page. The twelfth boat trip on that page is the Harmony cruise. It leaves from Ayia Napa Harbour, so it sits outside this guide.
Review counts show what travellers book. The pirate cruise leads with 748 reviews, and the Aerosa morning-or-sunset sail follows with 405. The 80s and 90s dinner cruise has 329, the luxury slide yacht 267 and the Turtle Cove sail 257.
Pick the style that fits your evening: a swim, a dinner, a slide, a bar or a quiet VIP deck. Each Protaras sunset cruise style gets its own section further down.
Where does a Protaras sunset cruise board?
A Protaras sunset cruise boards at Protaras Pier, at Golden Coast Harbor in Pernera or at Green Bay. Eight of the 11 gigs on this page show the Pickup available label on GetYourGuide. A hotel stop then replaces the walk.
Protaras Cruises names Protaras Pier as the berth of its Lady Popi I party sunset cruise. Its Med II catamaran leaves from Green Bay, next to the Aquanaut Diving School. Medusa Cruises boards at Golden Coast Harbor in Pernera.
The Aerosa listing names Golden Coast Harbor, Agios Nikolaos church and Pernera as its meeting point. The St Georgios yacht trips start from the end of Protaras Pier. Those boats share the pier with the Lady Popi I.
Arrival rules differ by operator. Protaras Cruises asks guests to arrive 15 minutes before departure. Medusa Cruises asks for 20 minutes and adds that free street parking sits nearby. The Aerosa listing asks for 30 minutes.
The St Georgios transfer uses central pickup points. Be at the stop 5 minutes early and be ready to wait 15 minutes if the bus runs late. Pickup times vary from 5 to 75 minutes by hotel, so read the time on your ticket.
Three gigs show no pickup label: the Turtle Cove sail, the Aerosa morning-or-sunset sail and the pirate cruise. Check the meeting point on those booking pages before you pick a Protaras sunset cruise.
Which boats sail on a Protaras sunset cruise?
Five boat types sail on a Protaras sunset cruise. They are a wooden boat, motor yachts, catamarans, a large party boat and a glass-bottom boat. Listed capacities run from 60 guests on the VIP catamaran to 150 on the party boat.
The Aerosa is the wooden boat. Its listings call it a traditional wooden boat, and two GetYourGuide gigs sail on it. One is the Aerosa Sunset trip. The other is the Blue Lagoon and caves cruise, which runs in the morning or at sunset.
Three gigs sail on the St Georgios, a luxury motor yacht. They are the 80s and 90s dinner cruise, the family slide cruise and the luxury sunset yacht trip. Medusa Cruises runs its own VIP yacht, and its page lists four toilets and a changing room.
Protaras Cruises lists the Med II as a Fountaine Pajot catamaran. The chill-out sunset cruise has a capacity of 80, and the adults-only VIP cruise a capacity of 60. The VIP page lists a live saxophonist, as the adults-only catamaran gig on GetYourGuide does.
The Lady Popi I carries the party crowd, with a maximum capacity of 150 and a 3.5-hour sunset cruise. That is the highest figure among the boats named here. CheckYeti also lists a sunset glass-bottom boat trip around the Protaras coast from Protaras Boat Excursion.
The Viator cards below add the Medusa yacht and a sunset cruise on the biggest boat in Ayia Napa. They also add a Blue Lagoon sunset trip and a catamaran cruise.
What time does a Protaras sunset cruise leave?
The listed departures for a Protaras sunset cruise run from 15:00 to 17:00, depending on the boat and the month. Medusa sails at 17:00 on Wednesday and Sunday. The Aerosa sails at 16:00 in summer and 15:00 in September and October.
Medusa Cruises sails its 3-hour sunset cruise every Wednesday and Sunday at 17:00 from Golden Coast Harbor. Adults get fruit and champagne on board, and children get juice and fruit.
The Aerosa listing sets the departure at 16:00 from late spring to the end of August. In September and October the departure moves to 15:00. The same listing says that all times are approximate and subject to change.
The operator of the St Georgios slide yacht gives a September note. It says the boat departs at 16:00, not 17:00, because of earlier sunsets. It also moves pickups one hour earlier for that month.
The Protaras Cruises pages for the Med II and the Lady Popi I list no clock time. Check the slot on the booking page for your date before you plan the evening around a Protaras sunset cruise.
The sunset section further down lists the clock time of the sun for each month. Match your slot to that list before you book a Protaras sunset cruise.
What does the Turtle Cove and Blue Lagoon Protaras sunset cruise include?
The Turtle Cove sailing lasts 3 hours from Protaras. GetYourGuide lists swim stops, sea caves and the Cape Greco coast. It rates the trip 4.8 out of 5 from 257 reviews. The listing shows no pickup label, so plan your own ride to the harbour.
Aphrodite I Cruises sells a Protaras sunset cruise with the same stops through Musement. Its list of places starts at Ayios Nicolas Church and Golden Coast Harbor. Then come Konnos Bay, the Ayioi Anargyroi Cave, Lovers Bridge, Shark’s Mouth Cave and Pirates Cave. The text gives Lovers Bridge its local name, Kamara tou Koraka.
The Musement listing names two swim stops. One is the Blue Lagoon. The other is Turtles Bay. There the operator writes that the sea is not a zoo, so no turtle is guaranteed. Count a turtle as a bonus, not as part of the ticket.
The Musement ticket for this Protaras sunset cruise covers lifejackets, Wi-Fi and a guide who speaks English and French. GetYourGuide names English as the guide language. Masks, snorkels and fins are not included, and food and drinks are sold on board.
The Musement text adds drinks, dancing and the sunset from the deck. Children are welcome with a parent, and pushchairs stay in the ticket office near the boat. GetYourGuide lets children aged 2 and younger join free, though they still need a place on the booking.
What does the 80s and 90s dinner Protaras sunset cruise add?
The 80s and 90s sailing adds a BBQ dinner, one free drink and a resident DJ with a dance floor. The operator puts the dinner in the basic ticket instead of selling it as an extra. The sail runs 3 hours and 30 minutes on the operator’s page.
St Georgios cooks the dinner of this Protaras sunset cruise on board. The DJ sailing page names halal BBQ chicken, chips, rice, pasta and salad. The menu page adds tzatziki and village bread, and says the chips are cut by hand and fried three times.
The menu tags every dish for diets. The chicken is gluten free. The chips and the salad are vegan and gluten free. The rice and the sweetcorn pasta are vegetarian, and the village bread is vegan.
One free drink comes with the ticket: wine, beer, a cocktail, soda or fruit juice. The bar menu names Keo and Leon as the draught beers. It lists a Blue Lagoon cocktail of vodka, blue curaçao and lemonade. Cypriot wine comes in dry white, fruity red or crisp rosé, served over ice.
On this Protaras sunset cruise the DJ plays disco, synth-pop and 90s anthems. The crew pauses the music for a swim stop in clear water, then turns it back up. The boat has life jackets, a restroom and Wi-Fi. Snacks are sold on board, and the operator asks guests not to bring drinks.
What does the family slide Protaras sunset cruise offer?
The family chill sailing offers an inflatable slide at one of two swim stops. It adds a free first drink and Wi-Fi on the freshly refurbished St Georgios. It runs 3 hours from Protaras. This Protaras sunset cruise includes no meal, so plan dinner first or buy snacks at the bar.
The family Protaras sunset cruise leaves Protaras and passes Fig Tree Bay before it enters Cape Greco National Park. The operator names Agioi Anargyri Church, Lovers Bridge and the Sancta Maria Shrine as photo stops. The boat anchors at the Blue Lagoon and calls at Turtle Bay on the way back.
GetYourGuide sells three ticket types. Adults are aged 13 and over, children 4 to 12, and infants 0 to 3. The booking form takes up to 15 guests per ticket type. The listing gives 3 to 4.5 hours, and pickup is available.
The operator sells alcohol only to guests aged 18 and over. Younger guests take the free drink as soda or juice. The bar menu lists orange, pineapple, cranberry and apple juice, milkshakes, smoothies and two mocktails. Chilled water at the bar is free. The operator says the free Wi-Fi lets guests share photos right away.
The ticket covers flotation aids and snorkelling equipment. The operator does not promise turtles, and its crew keeps a sharp eye out for them. Guests climb steps from the pier onto the boat, and more steps reach the washroom. The operator also sells a separate family sunset sailing with an optional BBQ dinner.
Which Protaras sunset cruise runs as an adults-only catamaran?
The adults-only catamaran blends a swim stop, a meal and live saxophone music into one long evening. Guests aged 17 and younger cannot join this Protaras sunset cruise. GetYourGuide offers the sail in English, German and Swedish, and one booking takes up to 50 guests.
A Musement listing for a sunset adults-only catamaran trip sets out the order of the evening. The boat leaves Green Bay and sails towards Famagusta. It skirts the Cape Greco coast to the sound of the saxophone. The captain drops anchor for a dip before Konnos Bay.
At the bay the crew serves a meal. Guests then get a last chance to swim and snorkel before the boat returns to port. The deck suits a slow evening, because Musement lists spacious net decks and shaded lounge areas.
The easyJet listing for its adults-only VIP cruise adds a glass of wine or a cocktail on the decks. Listings disagree on the length. Musement gives 4 to 8 hours for the catamaran. easyJet gives 5 hours for its VIP cruise. GetYourGuide gives 5 to 6 hours. Check the length on your ticket.
The age rule on this Protaras sunset cruise is stricter than on the DJ sailing, which accepts guests from 16. easyJet says its adults-only VIP cruise picks up in Protaras and Ayia Napa only. For the Ayia Napa side of the coast, read our Ayia Napa sunset cruise page.
Can a Protaras sunset cruise start in the morning instead?
Yes, one boat sells both slots. The Aerosa, a traditional Greek wooden boat, sails in the morning or at sunset under one GetYourGuide listing. A morning sail is a daytime cruise, so the sunset comes only with the evening slot.
GetYourGuide lists the Aerosa sailing at 3 hours and rates it 4.9 out of 5 from 405 reviews. The listing files it as a guided tour and offers free cancellation. The guide speaks English, and children aged 3 to 12 have their own ticket type.
TUI sells the morning sail as the Morning Dreamy Cruise on the Aerosa. It lasts four hours and leaves the Golden Coast at 10:00. TUI asks guests to arrive 30 minutes early and says all times are approximate.
The morning route heads towards the ghost town of Varosha. It then passes Fig Tree Bay, Konnos Bay, the Ayioi Anargyroi church, the Pirate Caves and Lovers Bridge. A dip in the Blue Lagoon completes the list. Choose the evening slot when you want a Protaras sunset cruise instead of a daytime trip.
The morning ticket includes fresh fruit, a Cypriot buffet with homemade dessert and an open bar. The bar pours soft drinks, lemonade, coffee, tea, wine and zivania, a Cypriot brandy made from grape pomace.
The easyJet page for the golden hour sail lists a welcome drink, a bar and snacks instead. That page says the crew tells the story of Varosha, the ghost town of Famagusta.
Other boats also leave early. St Georgios runs its day dream cruise at 10:00 every day. Its Waterworld cruise leaves at 10:15 on Thursday and Sunday. Those two are daytime cruises, and a Protaras sunset cruise needs an evening ticket.
Which Protaras sunset cruise comes with an open bar and a buffet?
The sunset catamaran sold from Protaras and Ayia Napa carries an open bar and a buffet. GetYourGuide rates it 4.5 out of 5 from 66 reviews. Three other sellers list the same two perks on a Protaras sunset cruise of their own.
Protaras Cruises sells this kind of Protaras sunset cruise on the Med II, which sails from Green Bay. The chill-out sunset cruise lasts 4.5 hours. The page promises a freshly prepared buffet meal and a free open bar throughout the cruise. Outside food and drinks are not allowed on board.
The buffet lists bread, village salad, mixed vegetables and tzatziki or tahini. It adds penne in tomato sauce with melted cheese, bean stew, potatoes and rice. BBQ chicken and meatballs complete the menu. The page tags every dish except the chicken and the meatballs as vegetarian. It says menus can change.
Guests lie on hammock-style nets with mattresses or sit in a shaded seating area. A fly-bridge holds a sundeck with sunbeds. Free WiFi and a music system run on board.
Headout sells a four-hour Protaras sunset cruise with the same perks. Its buffet is a traditional Cypriot one, and its open bar pours local wine, soft drinks and water. Hotel pickup and drop-off are part of the ticket.
Tripadvisor lists the Ruby Sunset Cruise on the catamaran MED III, which boards at Green Bay. The ticket covers a buffet dinner, seasonal fresh fruit, dessert, unlimited drinks from the open bar and free WiFi. It lasts 4 hours and holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 19 reviews.
The East Coast Cruises page sets a limit of 100 travellers and admits ages 0 to 99. Infants sit on laps. It lists the boat as not wheelchair accessible, and tips are not in the ticket. Hotel pickup does not cover private villas.
Which Protaras sunset cruise runs as a theme or party night?
Two formats of the Protaras sunset cruise run as a theme or party night. The Lady Popi I is the party boat, and a Halloween fancy-dress sail is the themed DJ night. A pirate cruise adds a theme for children.
Protaras Cruises calls the Lady Popi I party sunset cruise a vibrant evening experience at sea. The music gets louder as the sun sets, and the upper deck becomes more social. A shaded upper deck and a sunny seating area at the front give two places to sit.
The Lady Popi I serves a buffet-style meal on board. The operator’s FAQ lists bread, tahini, olives, salad, rice, pasta, grilled chicken souvla, grilled pork souvla and chips. The ticket lists wine or lemon squash with the meal and a fully stocked bar. Outside food and drinks are not allowed.
The fancy-dress sail is the second themed Protaras sunset cruise. Its GetYourGuide listing is new and shows no reviews yet. The text promises Halloween fancy dress and the sounds and moves of the 70s, 80s and 90s. The dinner version of that decades night has its own section above.
The pirate cruise is the family version of a Protaras sunset cruise. TheAbroadGuide says the pirate ship flies skull flags and runs costumes and games for children. The crew hands out participation certificates. Every guest gets a free cocktail or soft drink after the swim, and the sunset sailing adds fresh fruit.
What coast do you pass on a Protaras sunset cruise?
The boat passes Fig Tree Bay, Kypros Bay, Green Bay and the cliffs of Cape Greco. Sea caves, Lover’s Bridge and the Blue Lagoon lie on the way. Operators list the same sights in different orders.
Protaras Cruises lists ten stops for a Protaras sunset cruise on the Med II. The list opens at Green Bay, the departure point. The Famagusta ghost town buffer zone and Kypros Bay follow, then Fig Tree Bay and Turtle Bay. The park, the Agioi Anargyroi church and the sea caves come next. Lover’s Bridge and the Blue Lagoon end it.
The Lady Popi I list starts at Protaras Pier and leaves out Kypros Bay. Its other stops follow the same order.
Medusa Cruises names other sights on its Protaras sunset cruise from Pernera. It passes Green Bay, Cyclops Cave, Konnos Bay, Anthea’s Cave, Kamara tou Koraka and the lighthouse. It adds Sunrise Beach and Vrissiana Beach, then Fig Tree Bay and the cliffs of Cape Greco.
TheAbroadGuide lists a photo stop at Kamara tou Koraka first on the pirate cruise. The Blue Lagoon and a brief stop at Cape Greco follow. The guide also names the Love Bridge and the sea caves among the sights.
Konnos Bay sits between Protaras and Ayia Napa, next to Cape Greco National Forest Park, says a villa-rental guide. Pine trees and cliffs surround the bay, and its water is calm and shallow.
Wikipedia calls Famagusta Bay the easternmost body of water formed by the Karpasia peninsula and Protaras. It names Fig Tree Bay as the sandy beach that Protaras is known for. Our Cape Greco tour page covers the cape on land.
When does the sun set over the Protaras sunset cruise season?
The sun sets between 18:01 and 19:59 on the 20th of each month from Month five to October. The Protaras table on sunrise-and-sunset.com shows 19:43 on the 20th of Month five. It shows 19:59 on 20 June and 18:01 on 20 October.
Each line shows the sunset time on the 10th and on the 20th of one month, in local 24-hour time. These clock times frame a Protaras sunset cruise.
- Month five: 19:35 on the 10th, 19:43 on the 20th.
- June: 19:56 on the 10th, 19:59 on the 20th.
- July: 19:58 on the 10th, 19:54 on the 20th.
- August: 19:36 on the 10th, 19:25 on the 20th.
- September: 18:57 on the 10th, 18:42 on the 20th.
- October: 18:14 on the 10th, 18:01 on the 20th.
Daylight lasts 14 hours 28 minutes on 20 June and 11 hours 7 minutes on 20 October. The sun sets 1 hour 58 minutes earlier on the second date. Check the start time of your Protaras sunset cruise against its month.
TheAbroadGuide lists the sunset sailing of the pirate cruise from 15:30 to 18:30. On 10 June the sun sets at 19:56, which is 1 hour 26 minutes after that sail ends. On 10 October the sun sets at 18:14, which is 16 minutes before it ends.
The clocks go back at the end of October. The table shows the sunset at 17:57 on 24 October and at 16:56 on 25 October. On 31 October, Halloween, the sun sets at 16:49.
Where does a Protaras sunset cruise stop for a swim?
A Protaras sunset cruise stops for a swim at the Blue Lagoon by Cape Greco. Other routes add Turtle Bay or Green Bay Beach. Medusa Cruises sets 30 minutes at the lagoon, and the pirate cruise sets 15 minutes there.
Medusa’s sunset page places its 30-minute swim stop at Cape Greco and lists a mask and snorkel in the ticket. TheAbroadGuide gives the pirate cruise 15 minutes at the Blue Lagoon. Guests on that cruise can also snorkel or wade into the waves at Cape Greco.
Gear rules differ by boat on a Protaras sunset cruise. Protaras Cruises lists snorkelling masks, paddle boards (SUPs) and inflatables on the Med II, plus a fresh water shower. The Lady Popi I lists life jackets and a swimming platform but no snorkelling masks.
The pirate cruise includes snorkelling gear and life jackets. Headout charges extra for snorkelling equipment and life jackets on its open-bar sunset sail.
The Lady Popi I also has an onboard slide. Protaras Cruises says that swimming and slide use depend on sea and weather conditions and on the crew’s instructions.
The sea sets the comfort at each stop of a Protaras sunset cruise. SeaTemperatu.re lists the Protaras sea at 21.3°C in Month five and 24.8°C in June. It reaches 27.8°C in July, 28.9°C in August and 28.2°C in September. October still reads 26°C. The site rates Month five and June as pleasant for swimming, and July to October as ideal.
Green Bay Beach is the stop on the East Coast Cruises sunset sail. Its listing names Konnos Bay and the Cape Greco Blue Lagoon as other places on the coast. Tripadvisor does not give the number or length of the swim stops on that sail.
Who can join a Protaras sunset cruise?
Families, couples and friends can join a Protaras sunset cruise. The age bands differ by boat. Family boats start the adult ticket at age 12 or 13 and the child fare between ages 2 and 4. Read the band on the listing before you pay.
GetYourGuide sets the bands for each boat in its booking widget. Three more boats in this guide use these bands:
- Open-bar catamaran: adults 12 and older, children 3 to 11, infants 2 and younger.
- Aerosa Sunset listing: adults 13 and older, children 2 to 12, infants 1 and younger.
- VIP Blue Lagoon cruise: adults 13 and older, children 4 to 12, infants 3 and younger.
On the open-bar catamaran, a child aged 2 or younger joins free but still needs a place in the booking. The adults-only evening boats sell no child tickets, and their own sections above give the age limits.
Booking.com says a guest must be 18 or older to book the Medusa sunset cruise. Children must travel with an adult. The Aerosa listing on easyJet Experiences asks an adult over 18 to watch children at all times.
Access to a Protaras sunset cruise differs by boat. Medusa Cruises lists full wheelchair access on its sunset yacht. The Aphrodite I is not wheelchair accessible.
Booking.com says the Medusa boat accepts pushchairs and prams. On byFood, the St Georgios yacht takes infants and small children in a pram or stroller. Both listings call the cruise suitable for all fitness levels.
The Aphrodite I carries up to 100 passengers on a shared sail. A group that wants a whole boat can book a private yacht. Our Protaras yacht charter guide lists those boats.
What happens to a Protaras sunset cruise in bad weather?
The route can change on the day, or the sailing moves to another date. Operators write weather clauses into their Protaras sunset cruise terms. When a trip does not run, a booking agent finds you another date or returns the fare in full.
Operator wording on a Protaras sunset cruise is short. Medusa Cruises says its itineraries face slight changes due to weather. The Aphrodite I page says the route can change without prior notice. It names weather and reasons beyond the provider’s control. The Aerosa listing marks the cruise as subject to weather.
Booking agents add their own rules to a Protaras sunset cruise. Love Ayia Napa, which also trades as Love Protaras, says itineraries run subject to weather. It says they can change without prior notice at the operator’s discretion.
If a supplier cannot sail, the agent proposes the nearest other slot. You can cancel instead and get a full refund. It emails you about any change.
Booking.com warns that operators can cancel for unforeseen reasons. Love Ayia Napa says a card refund takes up to 10 days to show on your account. Plan around that delay if the sailing is cancelled.
Rain is the other risk. Love Protaras says heavy showers and thunderstorms can arrive from October until the end of spring but pass quickly. It counts an average of 320 days of sunshine a year. Check the forecast on the morning of the sail and keep your phone close for messages from the agent.
What do you bring on a Protaras sunset cruise?
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun cream and your ticket to a Protaras sunset cruise. Medusa Cruises lists the first three on its sunset page, and Booking.com asks guests to carry the ticket. One small bag holds all four.
The bar on the Medusa yacht sells drinks at extra cost, so carry a card or cash for a round. Love Ayia Napa takes no responsibility for property that guests lose on a boat. Keep phones and wallets in the one bag.
Plan for the sea as well as the sun on a Protaras sunset cruise. The NHS says to sit in the middle of a boat. Look straight ahead at a fixed point, such as the horizon. It tells travellers not to watch the waves.
The NHS also says to skip heavy meals and alcohol shortly before travel. Ginger comes as a tablet, a biscuit or a tea.
A pharmacist recommends the right remedy. The NHS lists dissolvable tablets for children, patches for adults and children over 10, and acupressure bands. It adds that the bands do not work for everyone. Buy a remedy before the sail, not on the pier.
How do you book and cancel this Protaras sunset cruise?
Book a Protaras sunset cruise online on GetYourGuide or Musement, on the operator’s site, or through a local agent. Where a listing names a window, cancelling stays free until a full day before you sail. The rules differ by seller.
GetYourGuide closes each Protaras sunset cruise booking a set time before departure. Each listing in this guide carries a free cancellation label. The cut-offs run as follows:
- 1 hour before: the morning-or-sunset Blue Lagoon cruise.
- 2 hours before: the 80s and 90s dinner cruise.
- 3 hours before: the fancy-dress DJ night.
- 4 hours before: the open-bar catamaran and the adults-only catamaran.
- 6 hours before: the Aerosa Sunset boat.
- 10 hours before: the VIP Blue Lagoon cruise.
The Turtle Cove sail and the slide boat show no cut-off on their listings.
Other sellers set their own windows. Medusa Cruises says on its own site that cancelling is free until 24 hours before it sails. Booking.com says tickets for the same sunset cruise cannot be changed or cancelled once booked. Check which seller holds your ticket.
Musement returns the full fare on the Aphrodite I and Aerosa cruises when you cancel 24 hours or more ahead. A late arrival on the Aphrodite I gets no refund. On byFood, the St Georgios yacht gives a full refund up to one day before. It gives none inside that day or for a no-show.
A local agent handles payment and confirmation for a Protaras sunset cruise. Love Ayia Napa takes PayPal, cards through Stripe, Klarna, iDEAL, Google Pay and Apple Pay. It confirms bookings within hours and aims to finish all of them within 24 hours. Tickets are paperless, so the confirmation email carries your meeting details.
Book early for a Protaras sunset cruise. Medusa Cruises warns that popular dates fill fast. Love Ayia Napa warns that a last-minute trip can be full. That means a departure inside one day, or inside two days at peak season. It still tries to find you a place.
What do travellers ask about this Protaras sunset cruise?
Which currency and cash machines do you need?
Protaras uses the euro. Love Protaras lists cash machines and bank branches around the resort. It says all businesses take payment by card or cash.
Who covers an accident on board?
Love Ayia Napa acts as a booking agent only. It accepts no liability for injury, loss or damage, and it carries no public liability or personal injury insurance. A claim goes to the supplier and the supplier’s insurance.
Who gives the orders on board?
The captain and crew do. Love Ayia Napa’s terms tell guests to follow their safety instructions. The terms also make each guest responsible for his or her own actions.
Can you see a doctor in Protaras after the sail?
Love Protaras lists doctors with a walk-in service for tourists. It says travel insurance can cover the cost. A traveller without cover pays the bill.
How do you reach Protaras from Larnaca airport?
Love Protaras names the taxi as the quickest way. The cheapest way is the airport shuttle bus, which goes via Larnaca town. It runs fewer buses at night and at weekends. A pre-booked shuttle sits between the two on price.
