We are experienced cruisers and have done 19 now ranging from weekenders to 7 nights to 15 nights - Med, Caribbean, Panama Canal, British Isles, Indian Ocean etc. etc. and as you've probably gathered already - cruising is one of our favourite things in the world to do!

So we tried RCCI (Voyager) in 2007 and wanted to take our son (aged 9) on a short cruise during the Whitsun school holidays and found this 3 night mini-cruise to Le Havre from Southampton and thought - perfect.

We booked the Holiday Inn cruise package and could not have been closer to Indy before embarking. We chanced our arm and were onboard before 11.30am - check-in was very efficient and we were soon enjoying the main pool and bar area for a wonderful sunny afternoon - jacuzzis, pools, sunshine and cocktails - who could ask for more!!! Very impressive cocktail range and even served my favourite (BBC - baileys, bananas & cream) - do try it if you go on Indy. Also, when special cocktails are bought round by barmen in the special cocktail glasses, if you buy one of these cocktails, you get to keep the glass as a souvenir and they are nice glasses. Read more
