Seajets is a Greek ferry company that operates a fleet of passenger and freight ferry services in the Aegean Sea.[1] Operating a fleet of 29 vessels,[2] Seajets sails to 17 islands and offers 140 connections among them, primarily between April and October each year.[3]

History

Seajets was founded in 1989 as Dolphin Sea Lines by Panagiotis (“Takis”) Iliopoulos and his son Marios Iliopoulos.[4]

In 2018 Seajets received the ”Passenger Line of the Year” award in the 15th “Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards 2018”[5] and in 2019 the WorldChampion Jet was awarded “ship of the year” during the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards 2019 ceremony.[6]

In 2020 the company bought seven cruise ships, two of which were soon resold for demolition.

In November 2025, the Goddess of the Night was sold for €140 million to Chinese cruise line operator, Tianjin Orient International Cruises.[7][8]
