???Customer.Review.User??? 16 Nov 2025

Nice ship, just the right size with a great crew. I had a problem with my cabin floor being uneven and uncomfortable to walk on. When I complained I was offered another cabin but this was unacceptable. The carpet and underlay was replaced the next day. Otherwise no problems. Weather was very good overall. Food onboard was very good and accommodating to my diet.

Couple 07 Jul 2024

Everything was excellent. Staff were amazing, food was really good. Cabin, and in fact the whole ship, was scrupulously clean. We had a wonderful time.

couple
Couple 05 May 2024

We enjoyed fantastic scenery and the cruise exceeded expectations. For us, the strengths were the excellent service on board shown by all staff, plus the quality of the food. We also enjoyed the quality and variation of all speakers on this trip. The trips were generally good, with the Birksdal glacier trip an excellent experience. And, the standard of classical musicians was first rate and we enjoyed both the classical guitarist and the string trio.
