Do
I have to charter the whole ship? |
 |
| No. Our cruises are sold by the cabin, just like the large ocean
liners. However, groups may want to consider chartering our vessels.
Please contact our group department for charter requests. |
|
What
is the food like on board? |
|
| The cuisine on board is sumptuous. Traditional Greek and local
cuisine is comprised of lamb, beef, fish, shell fish, vegetables
and cheese. |
|
Are
the cabins nice? |
|
| Cabins are comfortable with private facilities and air conditioning.
Don't look for enough room to play a good game of Twister, but you'll
find the cabins cozy. |
|
Is
there a pool on the yachts? |
|
| No, you're sailing in it. Our cruises include swimming stops at
some beautiful places, so you'll have time to swim in the warm waters. |
|
Where
do all the passengers come from? |
|
| Our passengers come from all over the world. You're sure to meet
some interesting people of different backgrounds. |
|
Can
I bring my hair dryer and electric razor? |
|
| Make sure to bring an adapter and converter for your international
trip. |
|
I
am a single person, can you arrange a shared cabin for me? |
|
| Yes, we can offer cabins on a share basis. We'll match you up with another person of the same sex for you to share a twin bedded cabin. Since smoking is not permitted in the cabins, there's no need to worry about that. Plus, our guests come from all over the world, so chances are you make a new international pen pal. |
|
Do
I have to work on board? |
|
| No, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the sights and sounds
of the islands. Our professional crew will do all of the work. |
|
What
does my cruise rate include? |
|
| Your cruise rate includes your cabin, two meals daily (American
breakfast and either lunch or dinner daily - depending on the itinerary)
the Captain's dinner.. |
|
What
will I have to bring? |
|
| Unlike large ocean liners, we have no formal dress code. We do
ask that during dinner (especially Captain's dinner) you wear neat
clothing. The Gallileo is more formal, though you'll never need a
jacket or tie. During the day, T-shirts, shorts and swimsuits are
fine. Shorts and skirts are perfect for island visits, though please
keep in mind that long pants (and other "respectful" attire)
is needed for visits to churches and monasteries. Make sure to bring
sunscreen, camera and comfortable walking shoes, sneakers and the
ever important hat to shade you from the strong sun. We suggest you
pack your carry on luggage with toiletries, medications, travel documents,
swim suit and at least one change of clothes. |
|
Should
I bring my jewelry? |
|
| We suggest you leave your jewelry and other valuables at home,
as there are no lockable compartments or safes in the cabins. However,
any valuables can also be given to the Captain for safe keeping during
the cruise. |
|
How
much time will I have ashore? |
|
| Unlike many cruise lines, we only sail for an average of four hours
daily, allowing for plenty of time ashore |
|
Will
I get seasick? |
|
| The Aegean is usually very calm, though you will sometimes encounter
some rougher seas. Seasickness is normally more of a problem on the
larger cruise ships since they cover more open waters. Our itineraries
are shorter. However, if you are prone to seasickness, consult with
your doctor or pharmacist on what to bring. |
|
Do
I need to convert money? |
|
| We accept only cash and traveler's checks on board, though we do
accept American dollars, so there's no need to carry a lot of local
currency. |
|
Do
you offer shore excursions? |
|
| We offer shore excursions to the exciting and interesting places
of interest on the islands. There is a minimum number of participants
required for each of the shore excursions. All of the details will
be given to you on board by our cruise director. |
|
How
much should I tip on board? |
|
| How much of a tip you want to leave for the Captain and crew is
up to you. We recommend approximately 5% of your cruise fare as a
guideline for satisfied clients. |
 |
Please
book well in advance to ensure the space of your choice! |
