We booked this cruise through Kuoni, and they found us a Voyages Jules Verne cruise. There was a party of 19 (all English) and we were allocated Places on Croisi Europe cruise. The ship had 100 cabins and was just the right size for our first experience of cruising.

We had paid for private transfers £55 per person each way, totally £220 for return journey. ( I will comment on return journey later)
