I recently went aboard Celebrity Galaxy. Although a large ship, 77,000 gross tons, with so many ships now in service at over 100,000 tons, the Galaxy has a relatively intimate feel. This feeling is furthered by a friendly crew and a relaxed atmosphere.
Galaxy is a sophisticated ship. The decor is late 20th century modern with an extensive collection of good quality contemporary artwork. Some of these are rather whimsical like the lifesize statue of a cartoon-style ship's officer in the main lobby. Others are more serious. There are also interesting contrasts such as the multi-deck high copy of an 18th century French painting of a woman on a swing facing the geometric black and white reception desk.
The type of passenger that Galaxy appeals to is similarly sophisticated. They tend to be experienced travelers who have been many places and who have cruised before. They seek a taste of luxury and some formality but also a relaxed atmosphere.
