MV Discovery

1 Comment

Originally launched in 1971, MV Discovery has a long service history with various different owners and names. Since 2002, the ship has been operated by Voyages of Discovery Cruise Line and is based at the Port of Harwich, UK. In the summer MV Discovery usually cruises The Mediterranean, Baltic Sea, Scandinavia, The Aegean Sea and North Africa then onto South America, Antarctica and The Indian Ocean in the winter months. As of February this year MV Discovery will now sail for ‘Cruise and Maritime Voyages’ which is an agreement between the two companies. This medium sized ship has a capacity for nearly 700 passengers and offers a spacious, yet intimate and cozy environment with modern interior decor and luxurious furniture. MV Discovery has the advantage of been able to dock at smaller ports which many larger cruise ships are unable to do.

Restaurants and Bars On-Board MV Discovery

When it comes to dining and drinking, nobody does it better than MV Discovery with fine cuisine, excellent service and luxurious comfortable bars to relax and unwind at the end of the day. For dining, passengers have a choice of 2 exclusive traditional dining rooms, offering a varied selection of international dishes prepared by expert chefs. Both restaurants offer a sophisticated and elegant environment for the ultimate dining experience.

MV Discovery has 6 on-board bars which are open throughout the day until late at night. Unwind at the end of the day with a refreshing drink in the relaxing Hideaway Bar or catch up with friends over a few drinks on the exclusive Yacht Club Bar which offers a wide selection of spirits, wines and beers, ideal for pre-dinner drinks or a nightcap at the end of the evening.

    I could absolutely tear into virtually every line of the description of MVDiscovery on this website. For starters do not believe anything about extensive refurbishment or the “modern interior”. Expect 2star cabins at least on Deck9 which we paid £1200 each for – the tele in our cabin was a small old fashioned box perched on the dressing table with about 5 channels of just repeats and ship news. “Varied selection of international dishes” was in little evidence on our cruise – repetitive, boring and lukewarm food at every buffet – morning noon and night. Swimming pools and Jacuzzi remained waterless for us, “latest films”? – you might get one! “Informative lectures” – one theme and one theme only for us – WWII. Staff assigned to us especially were great – but virtually everyone else didn’t want to know – probably because they couldn’t change what they had to work with All in all this felt like a rip off.
