Fabulous relaxing holiday
We had a fabulous trip- the crew were so helpful and welcoming and I enjoyed our lovely meals. The captain did a great job of modifying the itinerary due the the wind conditions and we managed to cover all the islands. Our trip coordinator, Ully did a great job in providing us with information. I loved our swim stops and the crew were so helpful getting us on and off zodiacs and keeping us safe and comfortable. It was a memorable trip and I would recommend this holiday to friends and family. Our cabin was comfortable and very clean. Thank you!

Fantastic!
A nice variety of islands , it was great that we could spend some evenings on some islands. Good balance between time on the ship and on land. The crew took good care of us, and organized fun, varied activities, with a cocktail or wine or ouzo included. Nice to have a swimstop after breakfast! Our hostess Katarina informed us very good about everything, and took us for some short walks on villages.

Beautiful small ship cruise with amazing itinerary
We loved Galileo! It’s a small boat so it was much more personal than a large cruise ship. Staff were very welcoming and accommodating and there was a great mix of guests from all walks of life. The boat was freshly renovated so cabin bathrooms were lovely, and communal areas clean and welcoming. The food was amazing but in the first few days there was too much food at dinner, and a lot on our plates was unfortunately sent back. By the end of the cruise the portion sizes were just right, so it was good to see not too much food wastage. Sustainable toiletries were provided in the cabins. Itinerary was spectacular and was modified on one or two occasions due to weather, although alternative options were also great. There were lots of little surprises (free) along the way for the guests that added to the itinerary and atmosphere. The guide (Jenny) was knowledgeable about the ancient sites and very passionate about her country. We loved how willing she was to share her culture. Highlights for us were sailing through the Corinth Canal at night, seeing Olympia, and spending time walking through the beautiful villages along the ship route. Only downside for us was that as we were the first cruise for the season, some of the ship renovations had not been fully completed. The cabin class we had booked was unavailable due to these renovations, so we were put in a lower class cabin which was above the engines. As the ship sailed a lot at night, it was very noisy and we did not sleep well. However, the tour company was very apologetic and provided us with a very quick refund of the price difference. The cabin we were put in for the cruise was comfortable and apart from the noise, was perfectly adequate for us. We met some beautiful people, and overall had a wonderful holiday. We would happily book another small ship cruise with Variety and would love to experience another trip with their fabulous itineraries.

Absolutely incredible, the ship, the crew, and the other travellers were fantastic.
Beautiful sun and beaches, a mix of quiet villages, historical sites, and nightlife. The wonderful thing is all of the sailing in between and the friendships made with other travelers from all over the world. Folegandros was my absolute favorite stop - wonderful small town high above the caldera with great shops, friendly people, and excellent restaurants.
