Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice size of inside cabin, clean and tidy, everything was there and even champagne and fruits were waiting for us

Ship tip

Enjoy all corners of the ship. It’s huge but so much to offer and experience everywhere on the ship. Try to book in Yacht Club to get the VIP treatment and avoid crowds

Ports of call

Marseille (Provence), France

5 out of 5
Shuttle bus to the city for 17€ otherwise to far away, there was also a free port shuttle bus to the city but very crowded and long lines, city is nice and lots to see and discover

Barcelona, Spain

4 out of 5
Busy port and city, either take the ship’s shuttle to the city for 10€ or there is also a port bus for 4,5€ or plenty of taxis outside or you can walk for 30 minutes or so. I went on the train to the city of Sitges and it was so nice and less crowded

Valletta, Malta

5 out of 5
Ship terminal is in Valletta, good walking distance to the center or bus terminal where you can catch buses for all island destinations, hop on hop off buses also good option or other excursion possibilities

Messina, Sicily

4 out of 5
Ships is in the middle of the city, great for walking around or explore the area on excursions

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Ship docks in the city, very chaotic but so cool with narrow streets, awesome pizza, also good for day trips to Capri, Vesuvio, Sorento and many more

Genoa, Italy

5 out of 5
Nice walking distance from the ships, lots of cool places to discover on your own

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy, Buttler escorts you with luggage outside of the terminal
