The one good thing about this ship is it's small. I would advise anyone under the age of 75 to go elsewhere - we are 59 and 58 and felt far too young to be aboard. The side effect of this is that 'walking' tours taken from the ship consist mainly of slowly shuffling along.

The staff are excellent and service is very good. We were in an owners suite which was serviced by Larysa who was an absolute star - our cabin steward was pretty much invisible.

Having cruised with RC, HA, Viking, Cruise and Maritime and Azamara I can say that the food on Minerva is the worst we have experienced - we aren't 'foodies' by any means but this was pretty poor by any standards - several other people, mostly returning guests commented on this.

Owner's Suite

Cabin 01

Nice enough - not a true suite, too small, balcony small. Decent bathroom, nowhere good enough for the price charged.
