Cruise & Maritime Voyages are Britain’s newest cruise line, founded in 2009 when they acquired Orient Line Cruises. They have a fleet of six ships, which is rapidly growing after taking over Munich-based cruise line TransOcean Kreuzfahrten, and are renowned for offering extremely good value holidays - most of which set sail from one of the 11 available ports around Britain.
Marco Polo is a particularly popular member of the fleet. It holds 820 passengers and has an adults-only rule on board, which works perfectly for most guests who enjoy traditional, intimate cruising. The selection of vintage ships carry a more mature crowd, who are after a no-frills, relaxing holiday, complete with entertainment with the Captain and crew such as tongue-in-cheek game shows and quizzes.
Additionally, Vasco Da Gama debuted in 2018 while the fleet's flagship, Magellan, was released in 2015 and carries 1250 guests to an array of fascinating locations. This adult-only ship features expansive deck areas boasting traditional decor and relaxing lounges.
Sail from your local port, exploring the likes of Australia and the Norwegian Fjords. Round Britain cruises are also popular for those wanting a short break.
If traditional, amazing value, no-frills relaxation is what you’re after, Cruise & Maritime Voyages could be the ideal option for you.

Cruise & Maritime Voyages have limited accessibility for those with limited mobility and those in wheelchairs.
