Reviews:

  • "A new line run by cruise veterans, Discovery World Cruises was inaugurated in 2003, headed by Gerry Herrod -- a well-known figure in the cruise world as former chairman of Orient Lines, Ocean Line Cruises and Pearl Cruises. The new line seeks to serve a niche clientele: travelers who crave adventure, but also love the comforts and amenities of traditional cruising.. "
  • "The MV Discovery attracts a well-traveled, slightly older group who care more about interesting destinations and educational talks than lavish facilities. Most of the passengers are American, but the itineraries attract a fair number of English and Australian travelers, and sometimes groups from Asia, as well. An unusual number of single passengers may be found on some cruises, as there is no single supplement for several destinations."

Discovery World Cruises Experience:

  • Interesting destinations are the great strength for Discovery World. Cruise tours of 13 to 27 days travel to exotic locales from Antarctica to Easter Island, the Chilean fjords to the South Pacific, as well as passage to New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, Mayan Mexico, and the Panama Canal, and trans-Atlantic crossings. Tours always include free stays in cosmopolitan first and last ports, as well as excellent lecturers on board.
  • From May through October, the MV Discovery operates under charter to Voyages of Discovery, a tour operator based in the U.K. offering cruises of the British Isles, the Baltic, Greenland, Iceland and the Faroes Islands, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, Red Sea, Suez Canal and North Africa.
  • On the bridge are Captain Derrick Kemp from Britain, an experienced Master who has had command of passenger ships for the past 16 years.
  • 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.
