Cabin: Balcony Classic
Traveled with children

We chose this cruise especially for the weather in this region at this time of the year. We traveled with a group of sixteen people. Four families with children between 15 and 23 years old.The procedure for boarding and disembarking was childishly simple and hardly time consuming.

You can see that the ship comes at age but everything was in excellent condition. And the staff were visibly busy with her duties throughout the day. As if it were a military operation. Every day I put a fingerprint in the elevator, but within a few hours it was polished away.

The ship is equipped with a diesel-hybrid propulsion. This results is an almost vibration-free experience. Noticeably better than all other cruises that we have previously made. And; no soot on the stern as we have experienced on previous cruises.

Cabin Review

Balcony Classic

Cabin BC

Our cabin (Standard Balcony Hut) was fine, clean and had a spacious balcony. A few more wall sockets may be installed; there is only one wall socket installed at the desk.

Port Reviews

Abu Dhabi

We have visited Ferrariworld and the Marina Mall. Both fun to do. Some of our group have been to the big mosque. They were all impressed.

Muscat

Beautiful country with great people. We have taken the public bus to Muscat City Center for a few euros. Wonderful day.

Dubai

There is plenty to do in Dubai. Book especially a 4x4 desert safari. Very nice.
