This cruise required some serious flying to Colombo Sri Lanka , our cruise departure port involving one flight to Abu Dhabi then onward to Columbo, Sri Lanka.
Voyages of Discovery advised us this was a closed port and booked us transport from an airport hotel to the port at £50.00 per person.
We had flown out two days before to enjoy more time in Columbo, this required us to spend thirty pounds on a taxi to the airport hotel and waste most of that day waiting for the paid for transport.
Our cabin was a junior suite quite comfortable and roomy with a Juliet type balcony that was equipped with two very small folding garden type chairs. These were totally impractical to use, we never saw any of the other same type balcony's with these chairs in use. The cabin have been tastefully modernised with good quality toiletries and towels provided.The bed was quite firm with very small pillows, not what we expected after paying suite prices.
