mv Discovery

mv DiscoveryCruise aboard mv Discovery and travel with some distinguished guest speakers who will add rare insight to the places we visit. Discovery is large enough to sail the world’s great oceans, yet small enough to reach those less-frequented places. The emphasis is on space, service and understated elegance. mv Discovery offers an exciting range of cruises to explore the world’s great destinations. Some are the Antarctic Peninsula, South America and introducing South Africa and the Indian Ocean. Summers feature Scandinavia & Iceland, the Baltic Capitals, Mediterranean and Black Sea.

From dawn till dusk your days are filled with opportunity. For rest and relaxation, you can follow a morning sightseeing trip with the tonic of an afternoon massage. Or spend an invigorating hour or two in the Health Centre following a program that suits your needs as well as your mood. The pace of life on board is what you make it. Unashamedly laid-back or surprisingly active. Its entirely up to you. So surf the Internet to catch up with friends or to check on your stocks and shares. Try your hand at some traditional deck games under the sun. Shuffle the decks in the Card Room, rattle some dice in the Games Room. Browse our Photo Gallery or the shops one deck down. Satisfy your thirst in our Explorer Bar or your curiosity in the Library next door.

We deliberately avoid much of the razzmatazz that is sometimes associated with cruising, but provide instead a low-key program of quality entertainment. In the evenings take in a show then dance to the ship’s orchestra in the Carousel Lounge, relax over a quiet drink in the Explorer Bar, dance away the excess pounds in the Night Club! Alternatively, pit your wits against our quiz master or enjoy a feature film in the cinema.

During days at sea there will be a program of informative talks, visits to the Bridge, art classes, films and music recitals; you might prefer to select a book from the library and relax on deck, enjoy a board game, visit the gym or pamper yourself in the new health and beauty centre; you might prefer to do nothing but watch the world sail by. The choice is yours.

On all cruises there will be the opportunity to participate in an on-board program of bridge. There will be a series of lectures and organized competitions on all departures, under the supervision of an experienced bridge director, plus organized sessions of duplicate bridge every day.
