MS Porto Mirante

Experience the thrill of a European adventure with the opulence of a luxurious boutique hotel. Between onshore adventures, relax in the comfort of the spacious and stylish accommodations of the MS Porto Mirante. Step on board the beautifully crafted ship MS Porto Mirante, a spacious 80-metres long with cabins and amenities spread over four decks. This brand new, state-of-the-art ship offers a first-class service to each and every guest. The sun deck is a space to unwind, enjoy a drink in the sky lounge, and chat with fellow adventurers. And when the weather gets too warm, cool off in the pool or relax on a lounger - all while admiring the panoramic vistas. Our restaurant offers an intimate yet relaxed fine dining experience with informal seating for easy conversation with brilliant like-minded explorers. The spacious cabins are spread over 3 decks, with individually controlled air-conditioning, a contemporary bathroom with a rain shower and double or twin beds.

Relax on our open-air Sun Deck, which features a selection of comfortable chairs and sun loungers - both in and out of the shade - before taking a dip in the refreshing splash pool. Then to the bar for a cool drink and that book you've been meaning to read for ages in the sky bar. Fair warning: we can't guarantee the panoramic views won't distract you!

On the Diamond Deck, you'll find our spacious atrium, bar and lounge area. Sink into the sumptuously soft armchairs and sofas with a freshly made cup of tea and watch the verdant landscapes and charming towns and villages sail by through our floor-to-ceiling windows. And in the evening, enjoy pre- and after-dinner drinks with your fellow travellers while discussing the highlights of the day accompanied by the soothing tones of the ship's pianist.

The ship's restaurant is located on the Ruby Deck. Experience exceptional service from our attentive and discrete, English-speaking crew while you enjoy a variety of first-class cuisine. Pair seasonal menus with a glass of wine from our carefully curated wine list, including a selection of regional favourites.

For those who are a little more energetic - or just looking to work off all those delicious meals - our fitness centre is located on the Emerald Deck.
