I get the Travel zoo top 20 travel deals emailed to me each week, and this week, they sent me this.
6 nights on Marco Polo, undoubtably one of the best little ships still in service, going around the Fjords.
It is a shame that we cannot afford it, but it brings a few questions to light. How can Transocean afford to deep discount like this? My personal view is that they can't. However, previous bad reviews on major cruise websites (maybe the reviewers were in the pocket of "other" lines???) have put a lot of people off travelling on Marco.
This is a real shame, because without repeat and new custom, the ship will likely be confined to the sale fate as Regal Empress, who sailed for the last time with passengers on the 14th March (See here for Wikipedia article).

I hope that transocean will soon manage to sort out their customer service, and that Marco Polo has a chance to survive this summer and winter and still be around in 2010, when I might be able to sail on her!
