There are a lot of ships out there.
But there’s only one Discovery.

The Discovery Cruise Ship

The key to a cruise on Discovery is simplicity itself - see more, do more. So, you’ll discover some of the great cities and monuments from the ancient and modern worlds. And along the way, you’ll also share the stories and insights not everyone gets to see. Our renowned guest speakers unlock the secrets, whilst Discovery is the perfect way to get to any destination. It will be a voyage you won’t forget.

A ship like no other and an experience to match

Small enough to reach out-of-the-way ports, yet large enough to make light work of crossing the great oceans, Discovery avoids the excesses of today’s mega-liners. Instead, she has been expressly conceived for our special brand of ‘discovery cruising’ to create an atmosphere on board that is friendly and relaxed. There are all the facilities you would expect on a ship of this size, including three restaurants, a choice of bars and lounges, two pools, a well-stocked library, lecture theatre/cinema and internet centre.

Far from the maddening crowd

During your voyage, you will be accompanied by around 650 likeminded passengers and a highly-acclaimed team of guest speakers who will ensure that your time on board is as memorable as your time ashore. Complementing the talks given by our own lecturers, who will preview the destinations ahead, the programme features historians, explorers, naturalists and diplomats, who will share their expertise, anecdotes and interests with you.

 

It's what we don't have that makes a real difference

• Smaller ship – 650 passengers not 5000
• Not a casino in sight
• We don’t just visit the main ports, we also visit the smaller ‘off the beaten track’ destinations
• We stay in a destination longer. So you see more and have more time to explore
• No hidden extras. All gratuities and service charges included
