Blue Star Ferries is a Greek ferry shipping company with the seat and home port of Piraeus, which from the former Strintzis lines has emerged. It is one of the more important ferry companies of the eastern Mediterranean and also has a certain meaning on the German tourism market. Together with Superfast Ferries, it forms the Premium Alliance that for the investment group Attica Enterprises heard.

Blue Star Ferries currently only serve inner Greek routes, the Italian-Greek routes are served by Superfast Ferries. [first] The fleet consists of three ships on the international and eight ships on the national routes. All ships are modern large ferries.

The ferry company fulfilled the criteria of quality assurance of the international American shipping office and received the ISO 9002 quality certificate. She is a member of the Association of Ferry Travel and Ferry Touristics (VFF) via its German branch in Lübeck.

Blue Star Ferries was founded as Strintzis lines by the family of the same name from Kefalonia. Initially, this offered a ferry connection to mainland and later expanded to the ferry connection between Italy and Greece, as well as between Italy and the then Yugoslavia. From the late 1990s, the four heirs withdrew from business, Superfast Ferries as the new owner introduced the new name Blue Star Ferries (initially: “Blue Star by Strintzis Lines”), and modernized the fleet. Two people from the Strintzis family later took over from the new Blue Star Ferries the route to Kefalonia with the new shipping company Strintzis Ferries, which they used until 2012.
