The Magellan is an older ship that was purchased by CMV just a year or so ago. No glitz, no atrium, few balconies but comfortable and in reasonable condition. About 1200 passengers, just about all British who enjoy that they can drive to the port - no flight needed. No children!
The itinerary was super, a 12 night round trip from Tilbury not far from London. We took the train from Fenchurch Street station in the City of London to Tilbury Town and the ferry shuttle to the cruise terminal (you must show your train ticket to ride for free).
The itinerary was: Invergordon (for Inverness), Kirkwall (Orkneys), Stornoway (Lewis, Outer Hebrides), Tobermory, Belfast (Northern Ireland), Dublin and Cobh (Ireland), the Isles of Scilly (Cornwall, U.K. ), and two French ports - St. Malo (near Mont St Michel) and Honfleur.
Cabin Review
Cabin 2
The embarkation was quick and easy and a staffer escorted us to our quad inside room. On request, the room steward brought us a rollaway bed in place of the upper Pullman bunk. We essentially had two adjoining rooms with three singles in the inner and the sofa bed in the outer section. There was little drawer space but there were closets with hanging and shelving space in both rooms. There was a retractable laundry line in the shower stall. No hooks for coats or wet raincoats whatsoever. There was a safe and a hair dryer.
