Standard and quality met expectations, which were high given the price. . Smaller cruise ship with high staff to customer ratio gave the feeling of a quality cruise throughout. Excellent attentive staff. Smaller ship was able to visit less commercial towns. Transfers were included where necessary. Have been on many cruises with different providers, and this was the best yet !

I can't say enough about it, the ship was gorgeous, staff were friendly and helpful throughout, they made a fuss of my daughter for her birthday, the food and drink was fabulous and it always felt calm and spacious.
