Reviews Fantastic
Fantastic
A short 4 night cruise which we really enjoyed. Had an interior room which was more spacious than we thought it would be. The food was really good with lots of choice. The crew were all lovely and very helpful. Lovely ship, and always something to do if you wanted to.

Reviews Panama canal transit
Panama canal transit
Cruise was from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles visiting Grand Cayman, Cartagena, Colon, Puntarenas, Puerto Quetzal, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán. The main event was the coast to coast transit of the Panama canal. Excellent cruise. We did part of the transit as an excursion in a small pleasure boat the day before we did it on the Summit. It turned out great to have done it in two different ways.

Reviews East Coast of South Africa
East Coast of South Africa
The ship & particularly some of the staff were terrific. Food & accommodation were excellent. Staff clearing an ondeck buffet inside during a storm was really impressive ! Despite some desperate attempts by passengers to make it more difficult ! A couple of rather dull ports but still a great experience.
