Don't let the small size of the ship deceive you: Valtur Prima is big in every way! Elegantly furnished, fresh and stylish, it will take you to beautiful destinations and keep you happy while on board.

Spacious and graceful are two words that describe the public rooms in this ship. Every room is kept clean throughout the day and they are all well ventilated and illuminated. My favorite? The pool area, definitely. Although the pool itself is kind of small, most of the events take place there, and you get a good view of the sea.

Wow, the food is amazing! I ate sooo much... Breakfast, Croissants, Brunch, Lunch, Tea-time, Dinner, and a Midnight Buffet are served daily. Need I say more?

The cabins are very pretty and comfortable. There is enough space for everything you carry and there's also a TV. The bathroom is surprisingly large: there's even a bathtub! And the sound-isolation system is perfect.

What can't I say about entertainment?!?!?! I had the most fun ever aboard Valtur Prima! I attended the shows, which were really good. The entertainers do an incredible job and keep you having fun all day. If you don't want to join the activities, watching them is amusing enough. They're also really friendly.

The bad thing about the itinerary is that by the time you leave a port, you wish you could have stayed longer. VP visits the Mayan Riviera, Mexico; Youth Island, Cuba; Montego Bay, Jamaica; Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands; and Havana, Cuba.

Basically Europeans: classy, nice, sophisticated. I could see many of them befriending each other. Italians galore. These people are not your basic party-all-night passengers. They are fun, yet never vulgar. I'd love to see them again.
