Description
At a time when ships are competing with each other in size, carrying thousands of passengers, where endless identical corridors stretch though impersonal labyrinths, and neon and high voltage strobe lights masquerade as glitz and glamour - it is time to go back in time - to look back to the golden age of sea travel, to the heyday of personal service, to the floating Grand Hotels of the seas - the true Ocean Liners.
It is time to embark on a voyage to the past, to partake in a way of life of an era we have sadly missed, now reborn aboard the splendid MS Deutschland. This ship brings back the crystal chandeliers, illuminating the imperial red, double height ballroom, cabins with cream coloured wooden panelling, marble and brass, and lounges filled with fine antiques and paintings.
The MS Deutschland sails the globe visiting over 200 ports of call from ocean to ocean and across the seven seas. Voyages include a series of sailings in the Mediterranean, Baltic, North Sea and Arctic, across the Atlantic, North, South and Central America, the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, India, Indian Ocean, Middle East and Africa.
