Verdict

– Cruise Passenger 

“…Comfortable and homely. Staff were generally excellent. There was a multinational set of passengers, mostly Italians. The port destinations were exotic and pioneering in some cases. A phenomenal opportunity to get to see them. This was an adventure cruise…”

– Cruise Critic 

“…Cabins were average size with dolce gusto coffee machine which was a nice surprise to most ships. Abu Dhabi taxis are the same very good value we went to Ferrari world and the marina circuit and was a good 35 minute drive and only cost us around £25 each way. Grand mosque should be a must on everyone’s bucket list…”
