Great ship, spotlessly clean, plentiful good food, charming staff, very good excursions, excellent lectures but...only one engine working so we sailed slowly and had less time ashore...no explanation or apology though...captain invisible!

Just completed Kenya to Singapore Dec 14/Jan1015. The Safari lead in in Kenya was a disaster with few animals sighted and horrific road travel. So much promised and not delivered. The ship was spotless and the hotel staff the best we have experienced in 22 cruises. Dining experience excellent. Entertainment was non-existent, guest speakers fair but uneven. Tours staff appeared too young and inexperienced. Significant problems with water pipes. Unable to bring CNN and BBC broadcasts. Would not recommend for repositioning cruises.

I had the pleasure of spending 5 night on board the MV Odyssey last year from Athens. From the moment I stepped on board I could see that they have spent a lot of time and effort on the refurb of this vessel. The cabin was very comfortable and the staff very professional and welcoming. The main point of this cruise is that the excursions are included in the cost. I can honestly say that the guides are the best I have every experienced and they really made the sites come alive. All in all it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this ship.
