In winter, the 100-passenger Grande Mariner is based in the Caribbean and Bahamas making 11-day cruises of the Leeward, Virgin and Bahamian islands. As the weather warms in the northern hemisphere, the boat moves to the antebellum South and Intracoastal Waterway of the US. The cruises, which mostly attract retired North American couples, are designed for those who love sand and water and the ship carries a glass bottomed boat and two kayaks. There is no swimming pool or fitness centre onboard and the entertainment provided is limited; the main focus of this boat is the sea and sand. The atmosphere on board is laid-back, relaxed and fairly informal. The rooms are clean and comfortable and some cabins have large windows that look out to the sea, while others have portholes. One dining room on main deck accommodates all passengers for single-seating dining. Although there is a set menu, the crew members are happy to cater for specific dietary requests. There is one lounge on the second deck that doubles as auditorium. This room can accommodate all passengers for receptions, lectures, meetings, and conferences. The Grande Mariner is perfect for those looking for a informal low-key cruise with spectacular scenery.
