Minerva II

 

For travelers ready to step off the beaten track there’s no finer ship. She offers an on-board experience that’s second to none, and takes you to places few other cruise passengers ever see.  Strength and Style. ‘Minerva II’ looks and feels like a country house hotel. But there’s strong steel (including an ice-strengthened hull) behind the graceful exterior. Bow and stern thrusters make her extraordinarily maneuverable, and stabilizers minimize the effects of wind and water to help keep passengers comfortable in remote seas.
