The Ship
Old, but gold: 724 staff look after the 2,000+ guests on the Vision class’s name giver, Vision of the Seas. Commissioned in 1998, the ship has a length of 279 meters and a width of 32 metres. Although the small size will not bore you: on top of the theatre, jacuzzis, pools, fitness centre, spa, and jogging track, there’s also a rock climbing wall, daily entertainment and many other exciting things to do.

Flights
We suggest arriving for cruises a day earlier, so you won’t miss the ship if something bad happens.

Getting back to Europe is a little more difficult. You could fly Air Transat to Lisbon for €279 and then connect to a low-cost airline.
