Variety Voyager Review

AdventureSmith Explorations’ Variety Voyager review includes a detailed description of the small ship including deck plans and a photo gallery. Our small ship experts have been aboard the Variety Voyager firsthand. Please read our Variety Voyager review below then contact our small ship cruise experts to compare the Variety Voyager with other  small cruise ships  sailing  Mediterranean small ship cruises and Greek Island small ship cruises.

Choose the Variety Voyager for a luxurious yacht, by small ship standards. She has a very modern feel with steel, glass, lighted accents on mirrored walls and stylish amenities. Even more impressive than the ship itself is the white-glove-style service and the attentive crew on board the Variety Voyager. Rooms are cleaned several times each day, empty glasses and other stray items are immediately picked up and guests are constantly pampered by an attentive and well-trained staff.

Common Areas Aboard Variety Voyager

Common areas aboard the Variety Voyager are spacious and comfortable. Every day there is a new place to relax. Guests may especially enjoy the outdoor al fresco dining area and the Oceans Lounge on the Upper Deck. Large outdoor couches, chairs and coffee tables served by a full bar with fantastic views make this a popular outdoor deck. The Sky Deck is rarely used by other guests and provides a peaceful resting area with a 360-degree view. The ship has a small workout room with a full spa and onboard spa treatments.

Located on the Main Deck, right off the reception area, the Main Lounge is gracefully designed and finished with wood panels. There is ample seating space and modern AV equipment for presentations. The mini library/internet suite, just off the Main Lounge, offers a variety of books and magazines as well as free internet. The spa & fitness suite, located on the Lower Deck, offers massage, sauna and some fitness equipment. Voyager’s spa supervisor provides hair, face and nail treatments.

Variety Voyager Review

Review of variety voyager.

The 2012-built MV Variety Voyager cruise ship (fka Harmony A) is a futuristic superyacht operated by the Greek company Variety Cruises ( fleet ). The feel onboard is more like that of being on a luxurious yacht, with just 36 cabins and modern design.

The vessel (IMO number 9657090) is currently France- flagged (MMSI 538008158) and registered in Majuro / Marshall Islands .

History - construction and ownership

Variety Cruises is specialized in smaller ships, and the brand's sweet spot is a blend of cruise shore excursions including both active and cultural experiences. Because of her size and agility, Variety Voyager can visit ports of call that might be problematic for bigger ships. Her water sports deck allows for swimming when conditions permit.

Guests need to be fairly agile as there are no elevators linking the ship's 4 passenger decks , and the vessel uses 2 Zodiacs as tenders. Zodiac loading and unloading are fast, and waits are minimal. The multilingual crew of Variety Voyager provides exceptional service. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the captain provides an "open bridge" policy, inviting passengers up for a look even at navigation maps of Panama Canal .

NEWS: As of 2019, Variety Voyager joins Adventure Canada to sail on Costa Rica and Panama cruises.

Decks and Cabins

The 72-passenger ship Variety Voyager has 4 decks and 36 staterooms, ranging in size from 12 m2 to 30 m2. Marina Deck cabins have two oversized Portholes. Cabins on Riviera and Horizons decks are with large windows. All accommodations have individually controlled air conditioning, en-suite marble bathrooms, electronic safe box, mini-fridge, HDTV, DVD player. Toiletries and bathrobes are also provided.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

The contemporary, glass-enclosed dining room seats all passengers in one sitting and allows for spectacular views while dining in an elegant environment. It extends to the open-air sundeck, also seating 50 guests and allowing for alfresco breakfast, lunch or dinner. Food is served at the table. A hot and cold buffet is also offered and includes "a la minute cooking" section.

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

Variety Voyager's public areas are finely decorated and spacious. The Main Lounge is situated on the ship's Riviera deck, adjacent to the reception area. It is tastefully designed and offers ample comfortable seating plus an AV system for onboard presentations. The internet area is on the Marina deck. A small library offers a variety of magazines and books and computer stations for internet access. The Horizon Bar & Lounge is an open-air area on Upper Deck offering shaded seating and relaxing music in the evening. The Sun deck also has Balinese beds and sun loungers. There is a wellness complex (spa and fitness) on the aft-located Marina Deck for massages, sauna room, gym equipment. A Balinese Spa Supervisor provides face, nail and hair treatments.

Variety Voyager Reviews

• 8.2 Very good
• 4 Verified Reviews
• Activities 7.0

Brilliant relaxing way to see a lot of the Greek Islands Seeing so many different Greek islands, and being deposited conveniently close to or at the port. Loved Monemvesia, a magical medieval town, that was almost deserted, especially compared to the ram-packed Santorini. Also enjoyed the short time we had in Hydra. Fantastic that the Captain- was very visible and a good communicator- and willing to do swim stops. Recommended for Very well kept and comfortable boat. Great eclectic mix of other inmates. Very varied and delicious food.

• 5.2 Review score

Whilst we enjoyed our one week cruise we feel that that it was certainly overpriced for the quality and facilities available To see the islands in a one week trip and be able to dine at the many ports visited as opposed to having the inferior on board meals Recommended for The fact we could visit the smaller islands, the other passengers on board, the waiting staff

• 8.8 Fabulous
• Alexander T

Expectations were exceeded! From arrival to departure everything was in great order. Best of all were the people! Recommended for Friendliness and competence of the crew, spacious cabin for a small ship, everything spotlessly clean!

VARIETY VOYAGER Apollo Victory Marine | From EUR€ 247,650 /wk

Built by the Greek shipyard Apollo Victory Marine, the 68m (223') motor yacht VARIETY VOYAGER (ex Harmony A) is a magnificent displacement vessel, boasting both exterior and interior by Lally Poulias, in partnership with the Apollo Victory's in-house design team. Her launch is in 2012. She can sleep an impressive number of 72 guests in 36 cabins and carries an impeccable crew of 32 professionals.

NOTABLE FEATURES: ~Massage room ~Gym ~Sauna ~Piano ~Bar on the sun deck ~Spacious dining rooms ~Plenty of al fresco dining options ~Large windows in all cabins

VARIETY VOYAGER has sleek lines and ample deck space that seduces her guests. Her interior is finished with warm fabrics, rich marbles, axminster carpeting and soft toned wood panelling. She gives you a feel of a luxurious private yacht with chic and sophisticated furnishings.

Large windows in the cabins allow for unobstructed views, as is the case from the lounge and dining room which offer spectacular wraparound views from the three exterior sides of the spaces. The dining room is located on the Horizons deck, with glass enclosed seating for 75 passengers. It is adjacent to the open deck dining room, which seats 50 guests comfortably for al fresco dining.

The main lounge is located on the main deck, just off the reception area. It is gracefully designed and finished with wood panels, with ample seating space and modern equipment for presentations. Just off the main lounge is the mini library, which offers a variety of books and magazines for relaxing moments of pleasure.

There are no elevators linking the five passenger decks and the tenders are Zodiacs so guests need to be fairly agile. This being said, the size of this vessel is ideal for visiting ports that might be problematic for larger vessels, and its water sports deck allows for swimming from the ship which is great when approaching the pristine beaches.

VARIETY VOYAGER Specifications

Unlike any other traditional holiday at sea, VARIETY VOYAGER offers you casual, charming, relaxed and friendly holidays, just like hosting a house party on your own private yacht.

There is a lounge bar with live piano music before and after dinner (the Captain was a talented player in his spare time), as well as a top-deck bar with dining tables and couches inside and out. A massage room, a small gym and a sauna are located on the Marina deck, where guests can also take advantage of hair, face and nails treatments before relaxing on the sun loungers available on the sun deck. RINA classed, the 68m luxury yacht Variety Voyager (ex Harmony A) has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. With a comfortable cruising speed of 13 knots, Variety Voyager features a beam of 11.5m (37'73'') and a maximum draft of 3.5m (11'48'').

Yacht Charter Accommodation

Variety Voyager can easily accommodate an impressive number of 72 guests in 36 cabins. These are a mix of shapes and sizes because VARIETY VOYAGER was built on an existing hull rather than from scratch. They each have either oversized twin portholes (lower deck) or picture windows (main and upper decks) of different sizes. All cabins have en-suite marble bathrooms, a mini fridge, a safety deposit box, TV and DVD. The owner's suite is located at the front of the ship. It is very spacious, with a large window, small desk, lots of floor and storage space as well as a modern ensuite bathroom.

How does the charter agreement work?

Once your chosen yacht has been confirmed, we will send you a standard MYBA or Goolets charter agreement that needs to be signed. If your chosen cruise route requires a different embarking or disembarking place other than the yacht's central harbor, delivery/redelivery fees may apply.

What are the payment terms?

After signing the MYBA or Goolets charter agreement, a deposit of 50% of the total charter cost is required. You can pay the fee via bank transfer or credit card (only Visa or MasterCard). The other 50%, an Advance Provisioning Allowance (if applicable), taxes, positioning fees, and any previously agreed charges are payable via bank transfer eight weeks before departure.

and any previously agreed charges needs to be settled via bank transfer six weeks before departure.

What are the actual operating expenses?

Once you made the final payment of the charter, you pay the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA). Under MYBA terms, this fee is usually between 30% - 40% of the total charter cost.

This covers the operating expenses of a charter (explained under Charter Terms), such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees, and ad hoc incidentals. The APA is given to the captain before the start of your charter. Some yachts and gulets also offer food/drinks packages which are normally paid in cash during embarkation, while the port taxes are paid during embarkation according to the costs presented by the captain. The Captain ensures that the yacht is fully fuelled and stocked when you step on board. 

While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. 

In case of surpassing the amount of money already paid during your yacht charter (with the APA), additional funds (in cash) will be required at once. If there is an outstanding balance from the yacht charter, it should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before you disembark. In case of a remaining credit at the end of your charter, you will be fully reimbursed. 

If a transfer by car to and from the yacht is required, it can be arranged either by the charter company or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

How can we make your yacht charter personalized?

To ensure a unique and tailor-made charter experience, we will send you a detailed questionnaire eight weeks before you embark on your yacht. You can tell us your group's preferences and special requirements, such as dietary or medical needs, any particular wishes regarding exercise, entertainment, or if you are celebrating a special occasion. 

Are internet and satellite TV connections available onboard?

In case you really need to get some work done during your vacation, no worries. On most yachts, there is mobile broadband internet and satellite TV, so you will stay connected to the rest of the world. Just keep in mind that the service can be limited in some areas (you are in the middle of the sea after all). If you anticipate regular usage of the internet, let us know prior to embarking, as upgrades might be subject to availability and additional fees may apply.

Is smoking allowed onboard?

Smoking is permitted only on the outside decks, and on some yachts, only in dedicated outdoor areas. Please consult our charter brokers for more information. For safety reasons, smoking indoors is strictly prohibited on all yachts.

Are tips for the crew mandatory?

Even though tips are not mandatory, the guests normally extend a gratuity to the devoted crew. The amount depends on the guest's satisfaction, but it is approximately 10% of the charter fee. The tips are equally distributed among all crew members by the captain.

Should I get any insurance?

In case of unforeseen circumstances that might prevent the charter, we highly recommend taking out the Cancellation and Curtailment Insurance to protect the investment. Besides that, the guests should be covered by Personal Accident and Medical Insurance, and their belongings are insured against theft, loss, or damage. Charterers’ Liability insurance is also highly recommended. Contact your broker for further assistance and additional advice regarding the insurance.

How are the charter rates calculated?

Charter rates are estimated weekly. If a charter exceeds seven days, they are calculated pro-rata against the weekly rate divided by seven and multiplied by the number of charter days. Keep in mind that some yachts are only chartered on a weekly (Saturday-Saturday or Sunday-Sunday) basis, especially during the high season.

High and low season rates vary depending on charter locations and types of yachts. The high rates apply to the most popular charter periods (July/August and Christmas/New Year), and to all major events. Low season rates apply to all other periods.

The charter rates on our website are up to date but may be subject to change. 

What are the charter terms?

Most charter rates are based on MYBA Terms, which entail that the yacht is in full commission, with all necessary equipment, properly insured for marine risks, and managed by a crew, whose wages, food, and clothing are the owner’s expense.

All other operating expenses are charged to the charterer and include (but are not limited to): fuel and lubricating oils for the yacht and her tenders; local taxes; pilotage; port, harbor, and marina dues; customs clearance; water and power; personal laundry; all provisions, wines, beers, spirits, soft drinks and consumables for the charterer’s group; shoreside excursions, telecommunication, and internet costs.

Please note that, occasionally, a yacht may offer an alteration on the terms described above. For further information about specific yachts, consult your broker.

Do any other taxes apply?

For charters in European waters, Value Added Tax and delivery costs may be charged on the gross Charter Fee, due to the European Union tax legislation. In other countries, local taxes may also apply. Depending on your chosen charter destination, our brokers will provide any prevalent rates.

History of Chelyabinsk

Foundation of chelyabinsk.

In 1736, the fortress named Chelyaba (most likely, a Bashkir word) was founded on the Miass River. One of the reasons for the construction of this and several other fortresses located nearby was the threat of attacks of the Bashkirs on caravans with supplies. The fortress became part of the Ufa Province.

In 1748, the first stone church was laid in the fortress. In 1781, it received the status of a town called Chelyabinsk. In 1782, the coat of arms of Chelyabinsk was approved by decree of Empress Catherine II. A loaded camel depicted on it meant that trade routes passed through this town located in the Asian part of the Russian Empire. In 1795, the population of Chelyabinsk was about 2,700 people.

By the middle of the 19th century, this town played an important role in trading in the Urals. Until the end of the 19th century, Chelyabinsk remained a small town. In 1882, its population was about 7,700 people. The second birth of Chelyabinsk took place in 1892 - after the completion of the construction of the Samara-Zlatoust Railway, which connected Chelyabinsk with the European part of the Russian Empire.

After 1892, the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway continued further to the east of the country. In 1896, the further development of Chelyabinsk was facilitated by the commissioning of the branch of the Ural Mining Railway, which connected Chelyabinsk with Yekaterinburg. In just a few years, the town became one of the leaders in bread, butter, meat, and tea trade in the Russian Empire. Chelyabinsk was unofficially called “The Gateway to Siberia”.

More historical facts…

Chelyabinsk in the first half of the 20th century

In just a decade, the population of the town grew significantly (in 1897 - about 20 thousand people, in 1910 - more than 60 thousand), and the territory increased by one third. For rapid growth at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, similar to American cities, Chelyabinsk was sometimes called “Chicago beyond the Urals”.

The armed rebellion of the Czechoslovak Corps after the events at the Chelyabinsk Railway Station on May 14, 1918 and the capture of the city on the night of May 26 to 27, 1918, led to its participation in the Civil War in Russia on the side of the Committee of Members of the Constituent Assembly and later on the side of A. V. Kolchak (one of the leaders of the White Armies opposing the Reds (Bolsheviks)). In July 1919, the Reds occupied Chelyabinsk and Bolshevik authorities began to form in the city. In 1923, the population of Chelyabinsk was about 54,300 people.

On September 3, 1919, Chelyabinsk became the center of the Chelyabinsk province. On November 3, 1924, it was transformed into the Chelyabinsk district of Ural Oblast. On January 17, 1934, Ural Oblast was divided into three separate regions - Sverdlovsk Oblast with a center in Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast with a center in Chelyabinsk, and Ob-Irtysh Oblast with a center in Tyumen.

In 1937, there were discussions about renaming the city of Chelyabinsk in Kaganovichgrad in honor of Lazar Kaganovich, a Soviet politician and administrator. During the first Soviet five-year plans, Chelyabinsk became one of the largest industrial centers of the USSR. From the beginning of the 1930s, tractor, abrasive, ferroalloy, electrode, machine tool, and zinc plants began to operate. In 1939, the population of Chelyabinsk was about 273,000 people.

Chelyabinsk during the Second World War

During the Second World War, Chelyabinsk played a very important role as a production base. The population of the city grew rapidly from 270 to 650 thousand people. On the basis of more than 200 enterprises evacuated from the western regions of the USSR that merged with local industries, several giant plants were opened: the Chelyabinsk Forge and Press Plant, the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant, and the Chelyabinsk Pipe Rolling Plant.

After combining the capacities of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant with two evacuated enterprises - the Leningrad Kirov Plant and Kharkov Engine-Building Plant, mass production of tanks (KV-1, IS-2, T-34) and self-propelled guns (SU-152 and ISU-152) began. In total, during the war, about 60 thousand tank diesels and 18 thousand fighting vehicles (20% of all Soviet fighting vehicles) were produced in Chelyabinsk. By the end of the war, every third Soviet tank and combat aircraft had Chelyabinsk steel. The city acquired a new unofficial name - Tankograd (The City of Tanks).

During the war years, about 220,000 people were sent from the front to Chelyabinsk for treatment, 78% of them returned to service after healing their wounds. In 1941-1944, the Kiev Medical Institute, evacuated from the capital of Ukraine, was training medical doctors in Chelyabinsk. In 1944, the Chelyabinsk Medical Institute was established on its basis.

Chelyabinsk in the second half of the 20th century and beyond

In the post-war period, Chelyabinsk became a supplier of equipment, machinery, and specialists for the reconstruction of Stalingrad, Donbass, DneproGES, and other industrial centers. In 1947, a new development plan was approved, which provided for multi-storey buildings in the city center and areas adjacent to industrial enterprises. This radically changed the panorama of Chelyabinsk.

By 1960, there were already about 15 thousand students in Chelyabinsk. In 1976, Chelyabinsk State University was founded - the first classical university in the South Urals. By the 1980s, the capital of the South Urals became a major scientific center of the USSR with 7 universities and about 40 research and design institutes.

On October 13, 1976, a millionth resident was born in Chelyabinsk. By 1980, its enterprises produced more than 50% of Soviet stainless steel, 20% of pipes, 30% of ferroalloys. At this time, the new building of the Chelyabinsk Drama Theater with 1,200 seats was opened, the Chelyabinsk Puppet Theater gained all-Russian fame. In 1986, Chelyabinsk celebrated its 250th anniversary. In honor of this, a geological museum, a chamber and organ music hall were opened.

The first half of the 1990s, after the collapse of the USSR and the transition to a market economy, was a difficult time for Chelyabinsk and its huge plants. From the second half of the 1990s, industry gradually resumed production, and a lot of plants entered the world market.

In 2004, the pedestrian street of Kirovka was opened. It has become a favorite place for walks of Chelyabinsk residents and guests of the city. In 2006, the new building of the State Historical Museum of the South Urals was opened. In 2009, the ice arena “Tractor” with a capacity of 7,500 spectators was built. In the 2010s, after the recession of the 1990s, construction and commissioning of new housing intensified.

On February 15, 2013, a large meteor with a diameter of about 17 meters and a mass of about 10 thousand tons entered the atmosphere in the vicinity of Chelyabinsk (the Chelyabinsk Meteor). Fortunately, it exploded in the sky relatively high above the city. However, 7,320 buildings were damaged and 1,613 people were wounded as a result. Its debris fell into Lake Chebarkul, from where the largest fragment was later raised and delivered to the Chelyabinsk Museum of Local Lore.

In particular, this city is the final point of the federal highways M5 Ural (Moscow - Chelyabinsk), R254 Irtysh (Baikal) (Chelyabinsk - Novosibirsk), A310 (Chelyabinsk - Kazakhstan). Public transport is represented by buses, trolleybuses, trams, and minibuses. The international airport “Chelyabinsk” offers flights to several large Russian cities, mainly to Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Chelyabinsk has historically developed as a center of several cultures: first of all, the cultures of the indigenous inhabitants of the region - the Bashkirs, Tatars, and Russians. There are Orthodox churches and mosques, a Catholic church, several Protestant churches, and a synagogue in the city.

The questions of our visitors

The comments of our visitors.

I heard an interview with a woman from Chelyabinsk several days after the meteor exploded over your city on February 15th, 2013. She said "We should use this meteor to bring people to our city. We need our own Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty".

I think the meteor could help your city draw tourists, if the city is willing to invest money to make this happen. Specifically, you could build a museum that would:

Besides the museum, have boat rides on the lake where pieces of the meteor broke through the ice.

To support the museum (and tourists) year-round, would it work to put together ski packages, transporting skiers to the Urals by bus via the M5 highway (or others) during the day and bringing them back to Chelyabinsk at night? Can you improve air connections US-Europe-Moscow-Chelyabinsk? Add a few restaurants? Etc.

A meteor like yours hits the Earth once a century. If you want it, you could make Chelyabinsk a tourist destination. It's worth a try. David Irvin
