What an amazing cruise. From start to finish we couldn’t fault it. The boat was amazing with spacious cabins, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The meals were great with a good range of dishes. The Staff made the trip for us, Kelvin was especially helpful and looked. Free everyone. Highly recommend.
