Ship was kept immaculately clean with maintenance staff always touching up to keep it gleaming. Layout was easy to navigate with clear signage wherever you went.

Cabin / Stateroom

Could not fault this cabin. Spacious, well laid out with ample storage space. Added luxury of having a Bath as well as a shower is a bonus.

Ship tip

Don’t overpack and try to make the most of what’s on offer even if you wouldn’t normally join in on group activities, they can be lots of fun.
