My wife and I wanted to do an overseas trip and decided that a Mediterranean cruise would be the perfect opportunity. We booked through an agency and the agent was most helpful.

The embarkation process was smooth and easy, despite the long rows. I was advised beforehand to rather buy a drinks package, since it works out cheaper and better. We did that before embarking and once again, the agents were most helpful.

Once on board, we were amazed at the cleanliness and comfort of the cabin. During the trip, we had all our meals at the restaurant - we love fine dining. We tried the buffet restaurant, and decided that it would be best suited for families with children. For us, the fine dining was perfect. The drinks package covered all our drinks for the week without issues.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Given the size, it was very comfortably laid out. I was quite surprised. The balcony upgrade was a nice surprise and was excellent! Our suitcases fitted nicely underneath the bed, so there was no problem storing them.

Port Reviews

Katakolon (Olympia)

Great guide and very well explained.

Istanbul

Long walk, but good experience.

Dubrovnik

I was not impressed with the guide, which seemed very depressed about the war. Sights were nice, bit too many museums.
