we chose this cruise to see the fjords, and for the convenient port of embarkation. chose the ship for its smaller size for our first cruise. embarkation was very smooth and quick, no waiting at all, straight on board and our cases were outside our cabin within minutes!. Cabin was excellent, with plenty of space to move about and very good facilities. Cabin steward was first class and very helpful, as were every single member of staff on board, such a cheerful bunch!

The food was excellent, plentiful and frequent. Although the marco polo is an older ship, she has an understated elegance about her, Plenty of activities if you wanted them, and quiet areas if that was your preference. Entertainment crew were very good, and carried on regardless of some difficult sea conditions.

the excursions were varied and very interesting. we had an unscheduled overnight stop in bergen due to rough seas, and missed out tobermory. Some passengers were unhappy about that, but surely the safety of passengers and crew should take priority. Personally, i think the captain is to be commended in the decision he made!

Cabin Review

Cabin category 12

spacious with plenty of room to move about. navigator deck, top deck of ship with 2 windows. view only partially obstructed by a lifeboat, which didnt detract from the views. We only used the cabin to sleep and change, or to rest in the afternoon after a busy day! en-suite was very good, with everything we needed including toiletries. Our cabin steward was a very pleasant and helpful young man. Beds were very comfortable, a treat to have your bed turned down for you every evening and re-made in the morning. Towel art was very good
