Make new discoveries in the Greek Islands on the Galileo.
You won’t find another cruise ship quite like the Galileo. The old-world charm of this classic steel Motor Sailer is unmatched in the Mediterranean. Although the engine usually propels the 48-metre (157-foot) ship at a cruising speed of 11 knots, island hopping with the sails raised is always an inviting option. Grab a drink and sit under the shade of the rigging on the deck, or enjoy a meal in the indoor dining room of elegant wood and leather finish. Travelling on a smaller boat means we can pull up to the ports away from tourists and swim in Mediterranean waters without another ship in sight.
