From our guides on the ground: An evening cruise built around the Mediterranean sunset, with a dinner buffet, unlimited drinks and entertainment including a fire show and foam party — so it's social and lively rather than a quiet sail. The deck cools once the sun drops, so bring a light layer for after dark. There's a kids' club and swim time earlier in the cruise; pack swimwear and a towel if you want to dip. Best for couples wanting the sunset and groups up for an evening out on the water.

Traveller reviews
A lively boat, not a quiet sunset cruise. Once we accepted that, it was great fun.
Good evening tour if you don't want to lose a whole day. We still had the morning free.
Dinner was ready at a good time and the kids' club kept our little one busy.
This is more of a lively entertainment boat than a quiet romantic sunset cruise, so set expectations correctly. Once we understood that, we really enjoyed it. The foam party was messy and funny, and the kids' club gave parents a little breathing room. Boarding was busy, but the crew handled it.
The foam party was fun but messy. Bring a towel or sit upstairs if you want to stay dry.
The fire show at night gave the trip a proper ending rather than just sailing back.
