On-board entertainment
Our ships have some great entertainment on board, from show teams to pianists to disco.
Why not start your evening with a pre-dinner drink and enjoy some of your favourite melodies? Our resident musicians invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy conversation with new friends about another wonderful day ashore.
Daytime Activities
At sea, you may choose from a work-out in the gym; a make-over in the beauty salon; a swim in the pool or brush-up on your footwork at a dance class.
Lecture Programme
The relaxing atmosphere created by Cruise & Maritime Voyages is ideal for learning more about a fascinating subject from someone who is passionate about their interest and will want to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with you. Cruises aboard Marco Polo and Ocean Countess are accompanied by one or more of these experts giving informative lectures or practical sessions on a range of fascinating subjects. Look out for the ‘On board Lectures’ note which is shown on each cruise route page.
In addition, talented arts and crafts specialists will be delighted to demonstrate their skills. These may include millinery, bead jewellery, mosaic decoration, calligraphy and decorative card art. You may need to buy materials on board which will be supplied by the crafter. Take advantage of these informative and fun sessions, returning home with a brand new skill.
Evening Entertainment
Following dinner the show team would enjoy the pleasure of your company in the comfortable Show Lounge as our artists display their talents in a stlish 'big show' - all you need to do is just sit back and enjoy. For a little night music, we have different combos around the ship who will play for your listening and dancing pleasure, everything from strict tempo to disco.
Our speciality acts and guest entertainers complement the show team to ensure that your evenings go with a swing. With quality acts such as the Syd Lawrence Orchestra, Andy Ford (Royal Command Performance comedian sensation) and Katy Setterfield (BBC’s ‘Dusty Springfield’ star) among the many top performers, CMV can offer a great cruise experience.
If however it is quieter pleasures that you prefer, how about a few hands of cards or making up a table for a syndicate quiz.
