    The ship itself is simple but well-maintained and comfortable. It’s worth noting that the stairs leading from the car decks are steep and there are no elevators. However, the cabins are spacious, spotless, and equipped with en-suite facilities!

    I noticed that they have now installed 3-pin UK electrical sockets, eliminating the need for an adapter. They provide a satisfying breakfast and evening meal about an hour before the ship docks. Throughout the 8-hour journey, you can enjoy unlimited tea and coffee. There is no Wi-Fi available, I personally bring a book and use the time to unwind and relax.
