    What our customers think

    Great ship!! The rooms were way better than we expected. There was so much room for our things, lots of storage space and a luxurious feel. We had a twin porthole room. The dinning was awesome, as well! There was so much food - almost too much ha-ha. We were well fed and I definitely feel like we got our money's worth in food alone. The ship also had a lot of cool spaces like the lounge, library, lecture hall, and all the deck space. We could even find time to be alone in certain areas on the boat during the day if we wanted to.

    The ship's management, the housekeeping staff, restaurant team, etc everyone I came in contact with were friendly, helpful and amazing! Food was good. The room was very comfortable and clean. Most definitely looking forward to a longer trip on this ship. Read the full review

    Agatha Reyes Thailand February 2020

    I really had no expectations coming in, nor was I under any pretenses that it would be like a cruise ship. So, I was pleasantly surprised given that this was not a luxury ship, the service, professionalism and friendliness of the staff were second to none and went a really long way to make the experience such an enjoyable one.
