Immunization for Hepatitis A & B (Twinrix) & other travel questions?

Hello
I was just wondering if I should get immunization for Hepatitis A & B (Twinrix) for when I travel out of the Country (Italy & Greece). Travelsafely.com says that Hepatitis B is common in Italy & Greece (which I know you can catch it anywhere though). Twinrix is a series of shots that helps prevent A & B.
Does anyone know about Twinrix? Do you think I should get the shots, I rather be safe then sorry! I also will be traveling on a cruise ship, airplane, train and land while traveling in Europe if you have any tips, health tips, info. on shots or ideas on keeping me & my loved ones safe i would be gatefull!
Norovirus common on cruise ships too, so if you have any ways to help prevent the illness it would be a big help.
I do wash my hands a lot & I'm a very clean person.
