Review summary

The Galaxy is not a new ship but is wearing well. Our cabin was very comfortable. We enjoyed having a veranda to take in the stunning scenery and port activities. Service was great, the entire staff made every effort to provide an outstanding experience.

Ports of call

Santorini, Greece

5 out of 5
The village of Oia is really stunning. Marvellous views and scenery. Lots of neat little restaurants and shops. Could have done without the wine tasting stop which provided too much repetitive information and not enough substance

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
We did not take the tour but saw the acropolis and other sites by ourselves. That took a little extra effort but was well worth it.

Rhodes, Greece

5 out of 5
The old town is a must see and can be walked without too much strain. The harbor area is also doable by foot.

Mykonos, Greece

3 out of 5
The weather was too rough to go to Delos. Mykonos of and by itself is not very historical but has outstanding scenery and some stunning photo opportunities. Still, Delos is the attraction

Istanbul, Turkey

5 out of 5
So much to see, so little time. The carpet fixation was a turn off. Still, Istanbul was the highlight of the stops. A most impressive city
