How Luxury Gulet Cruise Experience is like?
A luxury cruise is a truly fascinating type of holiday that offers the ideal experience you will cherish for a lifetime. In this post, we will give you a couple of examples of what a luxury cruise is all about and what some of our clients have experienced. And then you can decide on your own if this is something you wish to try or not.
Part no.1 – Check in the process
Many people have no idea what to expect if they are cruising for the first time in their life. However, right from the start during the check-in procedure, you will witness that this is going to be one of the best holidays of your life.
The very first thing is the weather is usually super nice you will start your cruise from the previously chosen destination. The crew will give you a warm welcome and put your luggage on the boat while you choose your cabins. Later you and your group will join crew back on deck for a welcome drink and appetizers, nice prosciutti, local cheeses, and several other snacks served perfectly on the table.
A bit later once everyone gets to know each other, you will already be drinking your favorite drinks, while gulet is slowly cruising to a truly amazing bay, Your our own personal waiter will serve you drinks and will be at your disposal for everything you want….and while you are still finishing the snacks the chef will already start preparing dinner.
This type of CHECK-IN and welcome can not be compared to any hotel, bareboat or even huge cruise liner, where they check-in is super crowded and quite stressful.
Part no.2 – Example of how they serve meals on luxury gulets
Since this thing may vary from a gulet to gulet, we will give you an example of how the dinners are usually served on a luxury gulet cruise in Turkey:
- you have a nice refreshing evening shower in your cabin and you dress up casually or in whatever you are comfortable in
- your group of friends is slowly coming on the deck while everything is already prepared and ready for you
- your luxury yacht is moored in a super nice bay, so you can enjoy beautiful sunset and you have probably the greatest view ever (and we do not mean the look of your table yet)
- the atmosphere is just phenomenal….you are surrounded only by your family or your best friends and you have a nice appetizer before you start your dinner
- no waiting in lines for food, no waiting for your waiter, no crowds, no noise of other pesky tourist…everything organized exactly according to your wishes
- and then the dinner starts….First meal, second meal…incredible design of food….lots of drinks along with it….super friendly staff…dinners on luxury gulets can last several hours.
The food itself is an experience out of this world on LUXURY GULETS! And these dishes can look and taste absolutely phenomenal.
Part no.3 – Crew on board
The crew is the most important factor on your gulet cruise and this is 100% true. You can have low budget gulet and a good crew and you will have the best holidays. Lots of gulet owners have clients coming to their gulets for years….not because of their gulet…but because they made really close friendships with crew on board.
On the gulet you can expect:
- super experienced chefs that will spoil you with the best possible food
- waiters that will make you feel like you reached celebrity status
- captains and owners, will tell you some of the most amazing stories and will take your gulet to bays and places which are truly special
The more luxurious the gulets is, the more crew it has. Most of the luxury gulets also have extra sailors, babysitters, hostess, house keeper, masseur or even the diving instructor. The crew on your gulet will make your holidays experience a memory of a lifetime.
