Savor delicious cuisine in Marco Polo's two onboard 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.
Marco Polo 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 mega ships can't go.
Traveling with around 800 passengers, you'll never feel as if you're just part of the crowd. The atmosphere aboard is warm and friendly, with Dance 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.
