Minerva is a small ship, carrying just 320 like-minded passengers. Furnished in country house style, you'll warm to the congenial atmosphere, panelled rooms, the glint of brass, deep pile carpets and welcoming, buttoned leather sofas. She has all the refined comforts you would expect, including well-equipped cabins, a well-stocked library, a card room, cinema, beauty centre and pool. The convivial on board atmosphere is further enhanced by open seating dining, allowing you to dine with your friends in the restaurant of your choice at every meal. more info ›
Minerva's expansive teak Promenade Deck, so reminiscent of the classic days of cruising, is the perfect vantage point from which to observe new coastlines whilst enjoying breakfast al-fresco. One deck down there is room to relax around the pool - the sea water swimming pool is ideal for cooling down on a hot day whilst the surrounding pool deck, with its teak furniture and umbrellas is the perfect meeting place for morning coffee or afternoon tea, lunchtime barbecues or impromptu dances. Other favourite daytime venues include the conservatory-style Wheeler Bar with its cane chairs and potted palms. Browse through the libraries newspapers and extensive collection of books, board games and jigsaws. There’s also an Internet facility.
Evenings may start with a pre-dinner cocktail in the elegantly furnished Shackleton's Bar whilst listening to the pianist before heading to the elegant Dining Room where the open seating policy allows you to dine when you like (within advertised times) and with whom you please. Menus include gourmet choices and often feature dishes that reflect the destinations visited. Fresh ingredients are brought on board at many ports. Dishes are cooked to order and the wine waiter will be happy to recommend labels from the extensive wine list. After dinner, relax in the Darwin Lounge, which in many ways is the heart of Minerva and the perfect venue for a classical concert, a folklore show by a local troupe, a light-hearted quiz or an entertaining talk by a Guest Speaker.
Minerva has a wide range of recently refurbished accommodation to choose from including suites with private balconies, deluxe and superior outside cabins with picture windows and comfortable inside cabins. A welcome retreat at the end of the each day they include such comforts as a built-in wardrobe, TV, safe, hairdryer and telephone and thoughtful touches such as bathrobes, binoculars and books.
