Fully air-conditioned and stabilized, the yacht-like m/s " ROYAL STAR" is a traditional ship of great character with teak decks and a rich interior of polished wood and gleaming brass. At 5,600 tons she is large enough to accommodate all the facilities you would expect to find on a quality liner and with a maximum of just 200 passengers she offers a friendly and intimate environment, creating a true sense of camaraderie. More importantly, with so few passengers there is no danger of overwhelming the character and often delicate ecosystem of the islands we visit, thus preserving what one has travelled to experience.

With a ship’s complement of 130 officers and crew you will be assured of a high standard of service. The Filipino and Indonesian stewards are often praised for their friendly and obliging manner and the European cruise team will ensure that all your needs are catered to. We also have a doctor on board for your peace of mind.

Meals are prepared by Master Chefs. Breakfast and lunch can be taken buffet style on deck around the pool or in the charming Belevedere restaurant and sumptuous seven-course dinners are usually served at two sittings.

Evening entertainment is provided by a small dance troupe, the resident band and the ship’s crew, with occasional cabaret acts. All cabins have private shower and WC, an internal telephone, taped music and adequate storage space. The majority are outside with a porthole or window. Most of the suites have two bathrooms.
