Accommodation
Retreat to your cabin sanctuary all offering windows or portholes connecting you with Mother Nature’s wonders.
Imagine 157 feet of comfort, old style beauty, and safety classified by the latest International “Safety of Life at Sea” (SOLAS) standards. Imagine your floating home on board the sleek, classic design Mega Yacht as she spreads her white sails through the seas under the name GALILEO, waving her Greek flag through the wind. Discover the world by sea at 11 knots per hour, in her un-rushed pace, one island or seashore at a time. Galileo loves to seduce her select 49 guests with her classic lines and wood paneled lounges redefining what yachting was meant to be. A spacious lounge with ample space, dining areas decorated with warm colors, rich library and two decks for sunbathing, shaded areas and outdoor bar and loungers are just some of the elements that define her essence. 360° views of unobstructed ocean are your eyes’ canvas painted with ocean blue and deep green mountains. Embrace freedom as the Galileo sets her white sails seduced by the clear winds of the sea. Mingle with likeminded travelers in our public areas, enjoy a moment to yourself in our ample deck space, or retreat to one of our 24 ocean view cabin-sanctuaries all offering portholes connecting you with mother nature’s wonders.

Dining
The spacious Dining room is located at the Main Deck and accommodates all passengers in a single seating.
Entertainment
As a yacht cruise experience our cruises are a lot more focused on the wonderful 'off the beaten track' destinations we visit with much more time ashore to explore at your own pace, and less about life on board. That being said, life on board is great, with entertainment being more of the home-grown variety, with events such as a locally themed party night organised by the crew, as well as the beach or deck BBQ and of course the Captain's Dinner.
Health
There are no dedicated health and fitness facilities onboard.
Kids
Aboard the Variety Cruises ships there are no recreational facilities for children and reservations for those under the age of eleven are not advised.
Enrichment
With carefully planned itineraries exploring each area in much more detail, we also ensure there is much more time ashore to discover and explore.
