Norway Cruise. For one of the oldest cruise ships still operating the ship was immaculate, we had a deluxe cabin on the Promenade Deck and it was very clean, reasonably spacious and with a full bathroom, a rarity unless paying a fortune.The Public Rooms are very comfortable.The Crew are proud of the old girl and it shows.

The Restaurant is very nicely appointed,the Maitre'd is maybe a little too business like but he runs an efficient dining room.The food at Dinner was very good, nicely presented with good variety.Local produce being taken onboard so lots of fresh ingredients.Breakfast and Lunch were adequate the only complaint being the queues for tea and coffee.

The Crew are an international mix of Portuguese and Eastern Europeans.They are, for the most part, very helpful and upbeat.

Entertainment was excellent and varied the only complaint being poor sight lines.

All in all a lovely little ship with a great atmosphere. We are old hands at cruising and yes we would cruise on her again
