Columbus Cruise Voyages

Prices From £1595
Relax on board the impressive Columbus with her expansive deck areas and spacious lounges. This taste of summer in the Canary Islands provides a splash of colour and sunshine. Sail south to Gibraltar, three popular Canary Isles, beautiful Madeira and historic Lisbon. You’ll find busy harbour fronts, lush hillsides and valleys descending to sandy bays and beaches, fascinating cities and tempting shops of every description.
With an overall length of nearly 250 metres, Columbus was purpose built for deep sea ocean cruising and we believe is ideally suited to the type of exciting scenic cruise programme we operate. She underwent an extensive refit in August 2015 and will be upgraded further in April 2017 before the start of her maiden CMV season.
Columbus has 775 passenger cabins including 64 de luxe balcony cabins and junior suites. Following the successful trial on board Magellan, and recognising the needs of single travellers, 150 cabins will be allocated for solos.

The flagship of UK-based Cruise & Maritime Voyages, Columbus is described as an “adult friendly” ship, that means no guests under 16 years are permitted, and the style of cruising, decor and services are aimed firmly at a ‘grown-up’ market. As CMV themselves say “no climbing walls or ice-skating rinks and no kids!”
What’s more, she sails out of London’s Tilbury docks, which means Columbus is ideal if you hate flying but love the idea of a cruise.
