MARCO POLO  |
|
|
|
Like the famous
explorer for which she is named, the Marco Polo is a world
traveler. She was built with a strong ice-strengthened hull that makes
her perfect for Antarctic expeditions. Her broad teak decks are a
splendid vantage point for admiring fjords in Scandinavia or South
America. And her mid-size allows her to enter intimate ports around the
world where the giant ships can't go.
On board are all the
facilities you'd expect on a 22,000 ton luxury liner dedicated to the
finest traditions of cruising. Savor delicious cuisine in two
restaurants. Enjoy a nightclub, a disco, a Health Club and Beauty Center
with aerobics studio & saunas, a swimming pool, Jacuzzis, a library,
a casino, a card room and an array of lounges, including a piano bar and
tea room. There are gracious public rooms for fun and activity, as well
as cozy nooks for quiet moments of relaxation. It's the perfect mix.
Traveling with around
700 passengers, you'll never feel as if you're just part of the crowd.
The atmosphere aboard is warm and friendly, with gentleman hosts to
assure that unescorted ladies enjoy ship activities, also a guest
lecturer series. Renowned for her skilled Scandinavian officers and the
warm smiles of her Filipino service staff, the Marco Polo the
perfect ship for exploring the world's most fascinating ports.
