About the Panorama II Ship:
For all our cruises in Asia your home at sea is the M/S Panorama II. As a Motor Sailer, the Panorama II mostly uses motors for propulsion, reaching a cruising speed of 10 knots, but also features sails for a more romantic option. Fully renovated in 2015, all cabins have wood trim finishes and plush blue accents. Twenty-five spacious cabins accommodate up to 49 guests. Each cruise’s onboard menu is tailored to your destination. And as a smaller ship, the Panorama II docks in smaller ports that larger ships can’t, allowing easy access to the heart of the destination. Take advantage of all the indoor and outdoor spaces available on the Panorama II. The restaurant at the lower deck is the perfect indoor setting for meals, or you can dine al fresco on the semi-covered upper deck. Curl up with a book from the library or drink from the bar in the cosy indoor lounge. The Panorama II also has a sun deck with chairs on the upper deck.
About Panorama II Rooms:
All cabins on the Panorama II come equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Each room has an ensuite bathroom stocked with basic toiletries and a hairdryer. There’s individually controlled air conditioning if you need to cool down, a mini-fridge, television, internal telephone and a safe box. All plugs are 220 volts, 2-pin European-type plugs, so remember an adaptor if necessary.
