Eight decks and all the contemporary amenities you'd expect

The moment you step on board Discovery, you'll feel a genuine warmth in the welcome of her crew and staff. On the bridge are Captain Derrick Kemp from Britain, an experienced Master who has had command of passenger ships for the past 16 years. With him is fellow Britain, Captain Michael Cavaghan, recently transferred from Swan Hellenic's Minerva II.

They are supported by a team of Officers from Europe and over 300 friendly international crew members. Cabin and restaurant staff hail predominantly from the Philippines. Renowned for their high standards, you'll be the first to appreciate their courteousness and their attentive levels of service. In addition to our experienced cruise staff and the company of the guest speakers we've invited to join us, you'll also enjoy the talents of a highly accomplished team of musicians and entertainers.

Together, they'll ensure that your time aboard Discovery is as rewarding and enjoyable as can be. As well as the wonderful places you'll travel to, Discovery is a destination unto herself. Whether you prefer relaxing in a quiet corner, dancing, keeping fit and treating yourself to a massage, or dining out, life on board Discovery will keep you as busy or as relaxed as you like.

ABOUT VOYAGES OF DISCOVERY

Founded in 2002 by recognized travel industry entrepreneur, Gerry Herrod, Voyages of Discovery (Discovery World Cruises) offers cruise vacations to exotic destinations at affordable prices. During the Winter months, the MV Discovery calls at ports in South America,  the South Pacific, the Caribbean, The Galapagos and even Antarctica. During the summer months, she sails to ports in the Mediterranean, Northern Africa, Iceland, and Greenland. In May 2005, Voyages of Discovery (Discovery World Cruises) was taken over by U.K.-based All Leisure Group. The mv Discovery is operated under the Voyages of Discovery brand in the U.K. where the company maintains its headquarters.

The 20,000-ton MV Discovery was built in 1972 in Germany by Rheinstahl N ordseewerke, a builder of ships since1903. Before entering service as Discovery in 2003, she underwent an extensive, multi-million dollar refit creating, in effect, a brand new ship. The vessel retains its handsome, classic exterior profile, but now features every modern safety feature and amenity.

At 650 passengers – small in comparison to today's mega liners – Discovery is big enough for cruising to faraway places yet small enough to enter remote harbors that larger vessels must pass by. Facilities include 351 cabins and suites, equipped with televisions and built-in hairdryers; three restaurants; five elegant lounges; a well-stocked library;  modern health club and beauty center; two swimming pools, one with a retractable dome; two Jacuzzis; and duty-free boutiques. Senior officers are Scandinavian, British and Dutch; the cruise staff is American and European; while the service staff -perhaps the ship's biggest asset - is from the Philippines.

Voyages of Discovery  was awarded the 2006 "Best value" in the Specialty Cruises category from the World Ocean & Cruise Liner Society.
