Experience the awesome scale and beauty of Fjordland as you cruise gently along the magnificent Norwegian fjords. From the rail of Columbus and the calm serenity of still blue waters, look up past green slopes and forests to towering mountain peaks punctuated with cascading waterfalls. Contrast all this with pretty Norwegian towns and villages and you have a voyage to remember.

Columbus
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.
Combining spacious surroundings and friendly service with stylish entertainment and delicious cuisine, Columbus is the perfect choice for those looking for the ultimate experience and comfort. Offering a wide range of on-board experiences including seven different lounges and bars, two speciality coffee and tea shops, and two deck bars, this ship gives guests ample choice to tailor their leisure time around their preferences. You will never be short of amusement aboard this ship cruise, as our Dome Observatory, Nightclub and Palladium Show Lounge host nightly performances by the talented Columbus show team and renowned guest stars. There is even a large floor for ballroom dancing!

Gratuities
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.
The below amounts will be debited from the passenger’s onboard account on boarding all UK cruises:
- £7 per person per night for cruise of less than 16 nights
- £6 per person per night for cruises longer than 16 nights
- CMV Additions Packages allow guests to pre-book/pre-pay gratuities at a reduced rate (book/pay more than 7 days prior to the cruise)
