Everyone involved - from the nautical crew to Cruise Director, were exceptional and the food was excellent and so much of it. Everything was well organised from the excursions to quiz nights and I would recommend this cruise to anyone who is looking for something amazing.

The tours and tour guides top of the line and so knowledgeable. The hot drink when we arrived back onboard was most welcome. Our cabin was comfortable and plenty of room to store everything.
