    What our guests say

    If you’re a fan of taking in crazy views, this cruise has got you covered. My girlfriend and I spent way too much time on our balcony just watching the world go by. The staff were beyond friendly, especially Andy—super chilled guy. Meals were tasty and there was loads of it. The only thing I’d say is bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, the engine hums at night.

    Travelled solo and was a bit nervous, but the crew made it super easy to meet people. Did the bamboo dance (hilarious), tried kayaking (fell in once, lol). Room was cozy and the AC worked great. Not crowded at all, which was a nice surprise. David was super helpful with my gluten-free diet, so big thanks for that. Would recommend for solo travelers for sure!

    Took my parents on Amanda cruise for their anniversary. Staff were really sweet, especially Lisa who went out of her way to arrange a small cake. Food was good, lots of veg options (thank you!!). Only thing, the schedule is a bit packed, so you don’t get much time to just relax on deck. Otherwise, lovely experience.

    This was my first cruise ever and honestly, I’m hooked. The room was spotless, and the balcony view was just WILD. Tried tai chi for the first time (not very good at it lol) and ate way too much at the buffet. The staff made me feel so welcome, especially Lisa. Would totally do it again.

    Overall a great experience! The boat was clean, the staff were attentive, and the food options were good. The only thing was the pool was smaller than I thought, but it was clean and not crowded. The sunset at the sky bar was EPIC!!
