Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ latest ship is described as the ‘flagship of the CMV fleet’ and will set sail for the first time on 15th April 2021.

The ship will set off from Singapore, taking passengers to ports in Malaysia, India and Egypt. Guests will be able to see the city of Luxor and the country of Jordan.

The 44-night itinerary will include the opportunity to explore Cairo as well as ancient sites in Greece and Italy.

The journey then continues to the south of France, Spain, Portugal (specifically, Lisbon and Oporto) and Amsterdam, ending in London’s Tilbury port where the ship will be based. 

Amy Johnson is named after an English aviator who was the first woman to fly solo from London to Australia. The ship, which carries 1,400 people and features 11 passenger decks, will be upgraded in March 2021 ahead of its first season.

On board, passengers can find 11 different lounges and bars and a variety of specialty and casual dining options. Cabaret and late-night disco will be on offer in the ship’s Dome Observatory & Nightclub, while on the deck, guests can use two swimming pools and a large screen for outdoor cinema and sports.

“[The ship is] A real step up for us whilst still maintaining our key brand values of a more traditional style of cruising and maritime experience.”

Mike Hall, CMV’s marketing director

Another cruise on Amy Johnson’s calendar is Grand Black Sea & Mediterranean, setting sail on 9th October 2021. Odessa, Constanta, Bulgaria, Istanbul and Athens are among its destinations, before calling at Israel, Egypt, Malta, Sicily, Gibraltar and Vigo on the way back to port.

CMV’s fares include full board cuisine, afternoon teas, snacks, hot drinks, entertainment, daytime activities, leisure facilities, guest speaker events and port taxes.
