Magellan’s wide corridors and stairways, and expansive deck areas with traditional wood type decking in many areas, exude a real feeling of spaciousness. Combining expansive, comfortable surroundings and friendly service with stylish entertainment and delicious cuisine, she is the perfect choice for those looking for a greater range of on board facilities. However, she still retains a feel of intimacy and personal attention, when compared with the ‘mega’ resort style ships built today.

No climbing walls or ice-skating rinks and no kids!

Magellan has two beautifully appointed dining rooms; the Waldorf and Kensington Restaurants, and the more informal Raffles Bistro for casual dining. The magnificent tiered Magellan Main Show Lounge spans the height of two decks and is complemented by a host of superb lounge bars, a library, card and bridge room, night club, casino, gym and shopping galleria. The magnificent Jade Wellness Centre offers hairdressing and beauty treatments and sauna and massage facilities. Out on deck, there are two swimming pools, three whirlpools and extensive areas to sit and relax.

A high priority is placed on your comfort, and Magellan offers well appointed cabin accommodation with a wide choice of inner and ocean view cabins plus spacious Junior, De Luxe and Royal suites – with the added convenience of a sitting area and a balcony.

Glittering entertainment Daytime activities

During days at sea, you may choose from a work-out in the gym, a make-over in the beauty salon, a swim in the pool or something a little less energetic in the form of curling up with a good book. Perhaps listen to a speaker or learn a new skill from one of our arts & crafts specialists.

The choice is yours!

“Excellent standard of musicianssingers truly professional.

Entertainment in Show Lounge worthy of the West End theatres” Mr J Martin, Swansea, South Wales “Superb shows, such talented singers and dancers, wonderful costumes & choreography” Mrs J Gibbons, Plymouth, Devon

At Cruise & Maritime Voyages, we recognise the importance of offering a very high standard of evening entertainment brought to you by our experienced Cruise Directors and entertainment hosts. It is their aim to ensure that you have an unforgettable cruise holiday and present a truly wonderful and varied entertainment programme. With stylish productions, guest acts, cabarets and classical interludes, there’s something for everyone on board.

After a busy day ashore, many passengers look forward to starting their evening with a pre-dinner cocktail before making their way to the restaurant. Following dinner, the highly acclaimed entertainment team invite you to join them in the Show Lounge where they will display their talents in a glittering and colourful performance accompanied by the ship’s live orchestra. These stylish shows are complemented with our carefully chosen speciality acts and guest entertainers to add variety to the evening entertainment on offer throughout your cruise. Our variety of popular cabarets are for your listening pleasure and, if the night is still young, enjoy tracks from our late night DJ. If however it is quieter pleasures that you prefer, how about a liqueur and good conversation; listening to a classical interlude from our resident pianist and violinist; a few hands of cards; or making up a table for a syndicate quiz? And whenever you decide to call it a night, round off a perfect evening with a stroll on deck knowing that the welcoming haven that is your cabin is just a short walk away.
