Une entreprise familiale depuis 1949
Variety Cruises was founded in 1949 by Diogenis Venetopoulos, and later developed by his son, Lakis Venetopoulos. The company today presents itself as a third-generation family business.
“The arrival of Steve allows me to focus on this long-term vision, while giving him the authority and latitude necessary to lead,” declares Filippos Venetopoulos in the press release. He links this new phase with the Vassilakis family.
The company indicates its intention to offer its cruises in more destinations.
“The company has a stronger base for growth, and demand for intimate, destination-centric cruises creates an exciting opportunity for Variety,” says Steve Reynolds, who plans to work with the teams and international distribution partners to “make Variety known to more travelers.”
