She was due last year, but didn't in the event begin service until this year. I don't know of anyone who has been on her yet, Cheren I'll be very interested in what your opinion is when you return though.

Early feedback I've heard is that both she and her sister vibrate a bit at higher speeds and the back decks are not as sheltered from the wind as they should be so there is less "usable" deck space than you would think from the pictures.

I sailed on the Voyager down the Orinoco and in a stormy Med. Both trips were wonderful. The design is good and there's vast amounts of open deck spce. I really enjoyed her and wouldn't hesitate to go on either of them again. Go & enjoy!
