Jewels Of The Cyclades – Greek Islands Cruise

Jewels Of The Cyclades – Greek Islands Cruise

From EUR €2,421

Description

Cyclades: Dazzling white villages, golden beaches and clear azure water are just the start of what these islands have to offer. Ancient Greek geographers gave this unique cluster of islands the name Cyclades because they saw that they formed a circle (‘kyklos” in Greek) of sorts around the sacred island of Delos. According to myth, the islands were the debris that remained after a battle between giants. In reality, they resulted from colossal geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Overview
Vessel Type: Motor Yacht Length: 47 metres Passenger Capacity: 49 (in 24 cabins) Built / Refurbished: 1992 / 2016 /2025 Galileo is a 157-foot classic motor sailer built to SOLAS standards, designed to deliver a slow, unforced pace through the Greek islands. The ship’s profile, wood-panelled interiors, broad decks, and white sails produce a traditional yachting atmosphere, while panoramic indoor and outdoor spaces keep sea and landscape in constant view. A lounge, bar, and warm dining room create a calm social core, and two generous exterior decks provide shade, open air, and uninterrupted horizons. Capacity is limited to 49 guests across 24 ocean-view cabins, supported by an experienced crew focused on comfort and consistency. Cabins follow a simple, functional layout with portholes on the Lower Deck and large portholes on the Upper Deck. All categories include individually controlled air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, safes, internal telephones, central music, hairdryers, and en-suite bathrooms. Public spaces are structured around single-seating dining, indoor and outdoor lounges, and a sun deck with loungers for extended time outside. Kayaks, snorkelling gear, a small library, and beach towels extend utility ashore and at anchor, supporting an unhurried small-ship circuit through Greece.
