By Keady, Belper on 5th Feb 2012
If you wish a 1 star
quality holiday where you

we live, we decided to
give the MP a try...

Nobby the Clerk
CRUISE & MARITIME VOYAGES / Marco Polo / Western Europe
By Clark, Southampton on 11th Dec 2011
We joined Marco Polo for
a three night Christmas

Excellent end of season voyage
CRUISE & MARITIME VOYAGES / Marco Polo / Canaries
By Mealand, West Sussex on 14th Nov 2011
This was the last voyage

concentrated more on the

on the Marco Polo...

Could I be converted to the small cruise ships?
CRUISE & MARITIME VOYAGES / Marco Polo / Baltic
By Sue B, Rotherham on 20th Oct 2011
Russia has always been a
destination that I have
wanted to visit. It was
hard to believe that the
Marco Polo was not only
visiting St Petersburg
but the capitals of the
other Baltic countries...
