2023 joint venture Minoan Lines & Fast Ferries
2023 joint venture: Minoan Line's Santorini Palace and Fast Ferrie's Thunder are joining forces for the Piraeus - Heraklion route!
With a view to continuous improvement in the provision of high-level ferry services, as well as the further development of the transport coverage of the islands, Minoan Lines in collaboration with Fast Ferries offer passengers a joint itinerary program that includes daily departures from Piraeus to Cyclades (Syros, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Santorini), Crete (Heraklion) and vice versa.
For this purpose, the ultra-luxury high-speed ships, HSC Santorini Palace and HSC Thunder, run combined routes from Piraeus and Heraklion respectively, providing the possibility for a regular, fast and safe connection of the Cyclades islands with Piraeus and Heraklion as well as between them.
With this move, the companies Minoan Lines and Fast Ferries contribute to the increase in traffic and the development of the islands through the high-quality sea transport, which they have been offering for a number of years to the coastal lines they operate, constantly seeking to upgrade the coastal transport.
