Overview
Highlights
- You’ll see the greek islands’ classic highlights – like mykonos and santorini – but this trip also visits a few out-of-the-way ports that big cruise ships can’t reach.
- Unlike mega liners, which have to moor offshore, the galileo can dock right in the centre of town. in places like syros, you take one step off the gangplank and you’re surrounded by bars, markets and restaurants. you can hop on and off the boat as you please.
- Diving into the crystal clear waters of the aegean sea is a real treat. our captain will drop anchor in a few secluded bays along the journey, so there’ll be plenty of opportunities for a swim.
- Your ship, the m/s galileo, has been recently refurbished. the interiors are warm and comfortable, and there are three spacious outdoor decks – perfect for reading or catching some sun.
- For the budding archaeologists, this cruise includes a day trip to the historic island of delos, including a guided tour from a resident expert.

Tour Operator
It’s been more than 36 years since our first small group set out to discover Nepal. It’s this heritage and our reputation that keeps travellers coming back time and time again.
We appeal to the well-travelled, discerning traveller. The one who chooses value over price, and wants to immerse themselves in a place instead of just ticking landmarks off a bucket list. The type of person who would rather stay in a family run B&B built in a 16th century Venetian convent than a forgettable hotel. We’re for travellers who want inclusions along the way instead of fiddling around for loose change.
Almost 20 years ago, Peregrine led an industry revolution by solely employing locally born leaders. This innovative approach gives our travellers a deeper insight into the countries they visit. Doorways are opened and a true understanding of the place is fostered.
At Peregrine, we travel in intimate groups and take the time to get under the skin of a destination. Of course we all want to see the Taj Mahal in India. But imagine then heading to a remote Rajasthani village and learning about rural life while in the company of locals. Seeing the famous sites is a must, but it’s often the memory of wandering through a small village or sharing dinner with a local family that will leave a lasting impact.
We promise to share our knowledge and expertise with you, and ensure you will come home with stories you will tell for years to come.
