The "Galaxy" was delivered in 1996, the "Mercury" followed one year later. The two ships are very similar in design as they were built one after the other in a very short period of time. On both ships the interiors combine aspects of tradition and modernism. The young and the young-at-heart enjoy their holidays in a contemporary design and a cosy and cultivated atmosphere. In the two-storey main restaurants culinary highlights are served, while the passengers enjoy a wonderful view of the sea. Precious chinaware, crystal glasses and shining silver cutlery underline the exclusiveness of this restaurant. The passengers are treated to the highest standard while on board. During the winter the sister ships start out from Fort Lauderdale to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, while in the summer they operate between Vancouver and Alaska.
