Columbus

Cruise & Maritime Voyages is known for treating guests to fine cuisine. Columbus is no exception, hosting seven different bars and lounges alongside a range of diverse restaurants.

The Waterfront Restaurant serves everything from hearty full English breakfasts to delightful five-course dinners, while the Plantation Bistro is open for buffet-style breakfast, lunches and dinner. The Alfresco Grill is perfect for sunny days at sea, and if you are craving something more refined, treat yourself to delectable dining at the Fusion or Grill speciality restaurants.

After busy days spent in-port and evenings fuelled by great food and unmissable entertainment, everyone needs to retire to a cosy stateroom. Columbus offers a wide choice of accommodation for every traveller, including Inner cabins, Ocean View cabins, Balcony cabins and suites.

Regardless of whether you are seeking a stateroom with luxurious extras or simply want to wake up to a view of the ocean, you will be treated to spacious cabins, exceptional service and all the comforts of home. For single travellers, there is also a choice of solo cabins available on-board.

CMV cruises play host to a fantastic array of entertainment, and the trend continues on-board Columbus. There are six entertainment venues on-board, ensuring that there is always something to captivate every member of the family. From the three-decked central Atrium and the Dome Observatory & Nightclub, to the two-decked Palladium Show Lounge. But Columbus’ entertainment isn’t just about shows and ballroom dancing. Guest speakers host fascinating talks about everything from broadcasting to maritime history, while guest comedians ensure belly laughs are guaranteed as part of ‘A Laugh on the Ocean Waves’.

Relax with a good book and a stunning view of the ocean in the Columbus Observation Lounge, or learn a new skill while meeting new people in the Crafter’s Studio. If you want to kick things up a notch, pay a visit to the fully-equipped on-board gym or swim some lengths in one of the two swimming pools.

Columbus also has a fantastic selection of shops located in the central Atrium, alongside a stunning deck area complete with heated swimming pools, a large film screen and panoramic views of the ocean. Complete with a hair and beauty salon, fitness centre, sauna and massage facilities, relaxation and complete indulgence come as standard. With a spa menu to suit every guest, treating yourself has never been easier.

Columbus is predominantly adult-only, with some multi-generation cruises offered for those wanting to cruise with youngsters. Aside from these, the minimum age for cruising on-board is 16.
