CRUISE & MARITIME VOYAGES / Marco Polo / Mini Cruises
By Malcolm Oliver, Grays on 27th Mar 2012
Older/smaller ships have
a friendliness and
intimacy that mega-ship
can never hope to
emulate. Smaller ships
are also easier to
navigate for those
passengers with mobility
problems...

By Hassell, Brighton on 23rd Mar 2012
We went on a Christmas
markets cruise on the

CRUISE & MARITIME VOYAGES / Marco Polo / South America

What a super 45 day

Tilbury to Amsterdam to
pick up 100 Dutch
passengers, then down to
Lisbon, Funchal, and the
Cape Verde Islands before
crossing the Atlantic and
the Equator...
CRUISE & MARITIME VOYAGES / Marco Polo / Norwegian Fjords
By Thackstone, Swindon on 7th Mar 2012
The North Sea in February
was as horrible as it
could be with Force 9 -
10 seas. The unlucky

of days each way but
those of us armed with
effective precautions, (
Kwells)...

We previously cruised on
the Marco Polo in the

By Evans, Llangadog on 25th Feb 2012
Delightful experience:

of the old liners, this
was a different kind of
cruise experience...

By Dinsmore, Bexleyheath on 24th Feb 2012
A last minute, very
reasonable priced 3 night
break to Antwerp and
Amsterdam aboard the

most enjoyable pre Xmas
break. The embarkation at
Tilbury was smooth and
efficient, ...

Just back from a
wonderful Xmas/New Year
cruise on the Marco Polo.

CRUISE & MARITIME VOYAGES / Marco Polo / Mini Cruises
By Taylor, Southend-on-sea on 23rd Dec 2011
I'd read various mixed
reviews on the Marco Polo

give the MP a try...

Just back from a 3 night
mini cruise on the Marco

By Clark, Southampton on 11th Dec 2011
We joined Marco Polo for
a three night Christmas
Markets cruise at
Tilbury, a very swept up

tidy but...
