Minoan Lines, founded in 1972, has become a leader on the Mediterranean maritime scene. Its fleet is made up of seven new modern, ultra-fast vessels, all of which are qualified as "palace"-category ships.

Four of these ships were built in Italy and such an unmistakable Italian style matched with the long-standing Greek shipping tradition have blended successfully to bring Minoan Lines the prestigious prize of "Ferry Company of the Year" awarded by Lloyd's List within the 2005 Prizes to Greek shipping companies.

The spacious cabins, all with en-suite bathroom facilities, halls, discotheque, Internet corner, children's area, swimming pool, the delicious Greek cooking and the incomparable Cretan hospitality make this crossing of the Adriatic an unforgettable mini-cruise.
