I cannot say enough nice things about our cruise on the Galileo. The ship and the staff were all excellent-actually surpassing our expectations. The itinerary was the perfect balance of sea and land with culture, archeology and fun in equal portions. There was plenty of relaxing cruise time but never a dull moment and the mix of passengers was terrific. We ranged in age across 5 decades and all enjoyed the company of one another, sharing the cultures and language of 4 continents. And the food......oh my gosh! The food was just beyond comparison. Every day there was a buffet of the most sumptuous delights and healthy choices, all rolled into each meal. This ship is small enough to get to know every member of the staff and develop a kinship in no time at all. I cannot wait for my nest trip on the Galileo with my new friends.
