A lovely ship with some great places to visit. (Corfu, Athens, Santorini, Mykanos, Kotor and Zadar). It is not one of the biggest ships so it does not offer all the features people might expect but on the other hand this makes it easier to get about from A to B around the ship. The crew were always most helpful and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. The activities on board were generally great fun, the evening entertainment and shows of a very high standard and the food was also excellent. I would be very happy to travel with this company again.

The only down-side was the cost of everything on board. This includes bar drinks, shore excursions, photographs, wifi, tips, the spa and the medical centre. We avoided most of these as far as possible but the charges were sometimes unavoidable. When we arrived at Zadar in Croatia we seemed to be some distance from the town and the ship offered a shuttle costing $12 per person, which seemed very steep. There were few facilities to change money there so many people took an expensive taxi, paying in dollars. Fortunately we found there was a ferry company very close by which took us over to an island called Preko, about 20 minutes away, and we had a lovely day there so didn't actually get to Zadar.
