Traditional British cruise experience on Discovery
Discovery joined the Cruise&Maritime Voyages fleet in February 2013 under charter from All Leisure Holidays. Carrying just 700 passengers, the ship offers an intimate and friendly British cruising experience with destination-focused itineraries and a variety of traditional entertainment.
Something to suit every taste
There are three dining venues on board serving traditional British and International cuisine - something to suit everyone! The Seven Continents Restaurant on the Coral Deck and the Yacht Club on the Sun Deck offer formal dining and superb menus, with two dining times at dinner. Alternatively, informal, buffet style meals are available at the Lido on the Sun Deck which has a retractable roof to allow relaxed al fresco dining.
Traditional entertainment
There are several entertainment venues on board Discovery, including the Carousel Lounge where you can enjoy fantastic West End style shows such as “We Will Rock You” and “Joseph”. Alternatively, take a craft class in the Discovery Theatre.
Comfortable cabins
There are a variety of different cabins on board Discovery, from Inside Cabins to Ocean-View and Suites. Every cabin has a television, safe and hair dryer as well as individually controlled air-conditioning. Bathrooms have a washbasin, shower, toilet and an Amenity pack which contains soaps, shampoo and body lotions. Suites have additional features including a bath, Tea/Coffee facilities and complimentary themed magazines as well as champagne and fresh flowers on arrival.
Hassle free itineraries
Discovery offers exciting no-fly cruises from eight UK departure ports to superb destinations in Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and British Isles. The ship is able to navigate into smaller ports, inaccessible to the larger mainstream vessels meaning that guests can explore hidden gems off the beaten track.
