The staterooms were just apt. Small rooms with a balcony to catch the first view of every port we would visit each day. With ample dining options you will defiantly not miss being on land. From fine dining to buffet the cruise had it all.All day pizza eateries,cafes were prominent places in the Royal Promenade.

City tour - Rome & Vatican

With early morning sunrise, setting off the sun at the shores. Awaiting to get the glimpse of a new city every morning. Shows, plays in the evening each day. And a day long activities while in the cruise made this a perfect tour.

Pisa

Rushing to the balcony each morning to catch the first sights of a new place & seeing the sun rise was truly mesmerising. As the sun sets we would bid adieu to the city and return to the staterooms every evening. We would then rush to get onto our best attires for an evening full of activities on the cruise. Dance plays, skating performances promenade party. On of the highlights was a disco themed party.
