    So amazing!

    The boat was lovely, perfectly sized—not too big or small. The food was outstanding, almost too much! Our cabin, the most expensive option, was gorgeous, though in hindsight, we wouldn't book it again as we spent little time there due to the many activities available. The staff were superb, and our guide Michael was funny and informative. Karaoke was also great fun.
