Yesterday I returned from a 3-night mini-cruise aboard Cruise and Maritime Voyages, MS Marco Polo and I have to say I really enjoyed it. We visited Ghent (Gent) in Belgium and Amsterdam in Holland, but I will keep the ports for another day, today is just about Marco Polo. We boarded the ship at roughly…

Which P&O Cruises Ship Is The Best In The Fleet

As promised by the officers in Flam, the sun was still beating down on the ship with only the occasional wispy white cloud obscuring the perfect blue sky. Another perk of being in a suite was the invite…
