A splendid glossy brochure described lovely excursions from various ports around Britain from the Channel Islands to Scotland and Ireland.

The ship was clean, meals were plenty and of good qualitity, service at meal times was excellent.

Sadly, the excursions; the crux of a cruise, were an absolute shambles due mainly to very poor planning and inadequate allocation of time. The trips were so hurried some venues received only a cursory glance, despite long coach journeys with no stops to allow photographs of the scenery. On one day it was discovered that all of the planned excursions had to be cancelled due to inadequate research on the landing details.
