This ship caters for a mainly Chinese and South Asian market, although some Europeans and Australians are also on board. Much of the on-board experience is geared at its core passengers, including a big casino and a karaoke bar. The food is a mixture of Asian and UK cuisine.
The staff and crew are incredibly friendly and eager to please, although service could be improved.
Suitability
Although mainly for Singaporeans who enjoy a short break, it is a good option for first-timers and experienced cruisers from the UK who want to get away from the traditional cruise ship destinations, like the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, and want to visit more unusual destinations. Avoid this ship if you hate lots of on-board ship announcements, as these are plentiful.
