A few words about Minoan Lines

MINOAN LINES started its journey from Heraklion, Crete in 1972 and today it is one of the largest shipping companies in Europe. This course is inextricably linked to the history of Greek passenger shipping, while the company's continuous innovations highlight its philosophy, which focuses on the continuous renewal of the fleet, so that its passengers travel quickly and in luxury, comfortably and with safety.
Some important milestones along this journey are: in 1974, the F/B MINOS of the Minoan Lines makes its first trip on the Heraklion - Piraeus line, while in 1981, the F/B EL GRECO is the first ship to enter the Patras - Ancona line. In 1990, F/B ARIADNE is again the first ship to connect Greece with Turkey and Italy, while a year later, F/B EL GRECO connects Heraklion in Crete with Ancona in Italy. In 1993, the company starts a new investment program of 250.000.000 USD, which concerns the construction of three (3) new state-of-the-art High Speed Ferries. In 1998, another investment program begins, concerning the construction of the new state-of-the-art ships H/S/F KNOSSOS PALACE and H/S/F FESTOS PALACE and a little later the H/S/F OLYMPIA PALACE & H/S/F EUROPA PALACE (FINCANTERI shipyards). In the same year, the vessels H/S/F PROMETHEUS, H/S/F ARIADNE & H/S/F OCEANUS are ordered at SAMSUNG shipyards, with a total investment of 900.000.000 USD.
In 2004, the company created the innovative reward program “Minoan Lines Bonus Club”, in order to offer special benefits to its passengers, while in 2008 Minoan Lines became a member of the GRIMALDI Group. In 2018, Minoan Lines repaid all of its bank loans, while expanded its routes from Heraklion to Santorini, Paros and Mykonos, from Chania to Piraeus and from Heraklion to Milos. Today, MINOAN LINES is the first Greek shipping company, which fully complies with the new requirements of the International Fuel Regulation (IMO), having installed exhaust gas cleaning systems, that reduce emissions, which is to the benefit of all of us.
