A wide range of things for you to do. Walking around the large promenade deck, relaxing in the stunning atrium, enjoying a show in the theatre to aerial shows in the sky dome.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The whole crew were extremely helpful and welcoming. Anything you asked of them was no trouble at all.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is amazing, there is so much to offer on the ship. The atrium is stunning with the 3 tier glass windows. The sky dome is fantastic and the shows they perform in there are really good. The ship is extremely clean and the hygiene across the ship is top class. There are hand sanitisers everywhere you look and everyone obeyed to the rule of wearing face masks when walking around the ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a balcony cabin on deck 10, the balcony was very spacious, the cabin is designed as a 4 berth and I would say it would be cramped for 4 people. The cabin still looks brand new, bed extremely comfortable. Nice size bathroom adequate for 2 people.

Ports of call

Hamburg, Germany

5 out of 5
Unfortunately due to Covid this port was replaced with Le Harve. In Le Harve it is highly recommended to do an excursion as there is not a lot in Le Harve

Southampton (London), England

5 out of 5

Zeebrugge (Bruges), Belgium

5 out of 5
Christmas in Brugges is amazing, lovely market in the main square, all the streets were nicely decorated, plenty of shops to browse in, bars and restaurants alot to choose from

Rotterdam, Netherlands

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The disembarkation was nice and easy, they were ahead of scheduled and we were able to disembark the ship early.
