The impressive Columbus cruise ship joined the Cruise & Maritime fleet in June 2017. This splendid medium-sized cruise ship enjoys a sterling reputation on the British cruise market and will offer the same traditional cruising style that CMV is known for. Whether you are treating yourself to a mini cruise or embarking upon a once-in-a-lifetime world cruise, travelling with Columbus is sure to create memories.
Cruising aboard the Columbus ship offers not only a life of leisure on-board, but also countless opportunities to explore some of the world’s most fascinating destinations. At each port, you will find a wide range of excursions specially selected to show you the best of every shore.
According to international custom in the hospitality industry, tipping is accepted as the standard recognition for good service. We operate an automatic tipping system aboard all CMV cruises. All service charges and gratuities are collated, so a portion goes to each crew member, who helps to make the cruise special. Guests wanting to reward a specific crew member for exceptional service are at liberty to additionally reward the individual.
