Broader Horizons

Marco Polo is certified with Ice Class for cruise liners and she is designed to sail in Arctic waters having a reinforced hull, a helipad as well as ten covered boats, with a capacity for some 960 persons. Landings in remoter regions are facilitated by the ten expedition-style zodiacs. These inflatable zodiacs are used to land passengers at villages along the waters of the mighty Amazon in Brazil. In keeping with her spirit of exploration, Marco Polo is able to navigate this extraordinary river offering the opportunity to explore what is arguably the world's most important eco-system.

Restaurant options

Our maitre’d and his attentive waiting staff will welcome you to the elegant Waldorf Restaurant where you can opt for a full English breakfast, savour a leisurely five-course lunch and enjoy a delightful dinner every day of your cruise.



Whilst breakfasts and lunches are generally served in the restaurant on an open seating basis, two fixed time sittings are operated for dinner in the evening.



As a casual alternative, the light and airy Marco’s Restaurant is open every day for buffet style breakfast, lunches and dinner. Here informality is the key and you can feel free to drop in without any ceremony. The Pool Deck lends itself particularly well to al fresco meals so a buffet breakfast or lunch from Marco’s can be served up with a complimentary ocean view!

A choice of five lounges

Why not settle down and enjoy wonderful panoramic ocean views in the relaxing Palm Garden, or in a secluded corner of the delightful Columbus Lounge where the head barman will soon get to know your favourite drink.



At the very heart of Marco Polo is the stylish Captain’s Club, a popular place to meet fellow passengers. To start your evening you might opt for a pre-dinner drink here and join our cocktail pianist as he plays your favourite melodies.



After dinner the show team would enjoy the pleasure of your company in the comfortable theatre-style Marco Polo Lounge as our artists display their talents in a snappily choreographed revue or colourful floorshow – all you need to do is just sit back and enjoy. Scotts Bar is an ideal spot for daytime entertainment and late night dancing for the night owls! Located on Amundsen Deck, Scotts has direct access to the outside and a view of the pool deck below.
