Hellenic Seaways is a Greek shipping company operating passenger and freight ferry services in the Aegean and Adriatic Seas. The company is owned by Minoan Lines, which currently controls the majority stake.
Hellenic Seaways was created in 2005 following the consolidation of Minoan Flying Dolphins and its subsidiaries Hellas Flying Dolphins, Hellas Ferries Saronikos Ferries and Sporades Ferries.
It is the biggest Greek shipping Company, which operates 21 vessels, 9 conventional, and 12 high-speed, servicing more than 35 ports in the Cyclades, North East Aegean, South East Aegean, Crete, Argosaronikos and Sporades.
In August 2009 Hellenic Seaways purchased the single-ship, budget cruise line easyCruise from founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou.
In January 2011 Minoan Lines (Heraklion) cancelled the sale of its 33,35% stake in Hellenic Seaways to ANEK and try to find a new buyer for it.

Hellenic Seaways covered itineraries to Chania in Crete island in the summer periods from 2004-2006 with the highspeed vessel "Highspeed 4" in 4 hours and 30 minutes, and in summer 2007 with the passenger ferry "Ariadne". The company also launched routes from Piraeus to Rethymno port, in Crete with "Highspeed 5" in summer 2008.
