    Good Points: Incredibly affordable. Long time at each port. Small boat equates to better interaction, personalized service, relaxed staff, etc... Great lunches and dinner - 6 or 7 course meals!! Wine - many varieties and very inexpensive. Honest staff...helpful staff...expecially if you want to do your own land trips, beach days, off the beaten path stuff...cuz that's what they do on their days off! And...the destinations are incredible!


    Bad Points: If you are into shows and rely on entertainment on your boats...this wont work for you. This cruise is about leaving port at 10pm and arriving at the next port at 8am. When you are at port...you are sightseeing, renting a car, playing at the beaches, gambling, etc... You'll get back to the boat by 7pm...eat dinner until 9pm...have one drink in the small lounges...go out on the decks and watch the view as the boat sail to sea...then you'll drop of exhaustion and do it again the next day! So...I don't think entertainment on the boat is required! But...then again...if you just want to hang on the boat the whole time...this wont work for you. Also, only one black jack table...but everyone is so beat by doing a day of sightseeing/etc...we were the only people who played each night!


    General comments: YES, YES, YES...Classic International Cruise is a wonderful cruise. This ship, the crew/staff, the destinations, the pricing, the itineraries/ports, etc...we are EXCELLENT. Just the right allowance of time and freedom to surely pack each and every day. Only Albania was diappointing...I should have taken the offered shore excursion. Trust me on this one.

    There is little entertaining to do on board the Classic International Cruises MV Arion ship. It is small by any standard and you can feel the waves much more than bigger ships as well as the sound of the engine room. This is because the ship is small.......I find it boring because there is little entertainment on board other than a few notable shows at night. Other than that there is really nothing to do onboard.......I won't cruise with ships this small anymore.

    Travelled with Classic International Cruises MV Arion - Small ship that leaves you nothing much to do when cruising on the sea. Small boat leaves it more subject to the waves and hear the engine sound while cruising. This can be because the ship is under 20,000 tons......it is really small.I won't cruise with ships this small anymore....

    On the whole I was very pleased with the Classic International Cruises MV Arion. I think we got what we paid for.
    On the days at sea, we were finding it difficult to sit anywhere as the ship has no real comfortable sitting lounge.
    We were able to get into small ports that the bigger ships couldn't get into - which was a big plus. Could have done with longer at some stops.
    Impossible to get info on any port, so pressure was there to book excursions which were overpriced.
    Dining was single sit ...
