Galileo returns to the sea after a full renovation

She’s back — and she’s glowing!

The M/S Galileo, one of our most beloved small cruise ships in Greece, is officially back in action — and she’s never looked better. After an extensive winter renovation, the Galileo set sail again on March 21st, refreshed, refined, and ready to welcome guests aboard for a season of unforgettable boutique yacht cruises.

Whether you’re a returning guest or dreaming of your first Greek island cruise, here’s a closer look at the refreshed spaces and the thoughtful details that make this ship feel brand new — while keeping her warm, nautical soul fully intact.

The makeover highlights:

• Full renovation of all cabin bathrooms
• New wallpapers, fresh paint, and elegant décor updates
• Varnished wooden finishes throughout cabins and public areas
• New carpets from bow to stern

The result? A warm, contemporary, boutique-yacht vibe that stays true to the Galileo’s timeless charm.
