Cruise ship offers dinner, bed and breakfast
Cruise & Maritime Voyages is giving potential customers a taster of life onboard by offering lunch or dinner, bed and breakfast on the Marco Polo while it is docked at the London Cruise Terminal in Tilbury in October.
The chance to dine on the ship will be available on October 3 or 4 and guests can also choose to stay overnight in one of the cabins and have breakfast the following morning before disembarking.
A four-course lunch plus a welcome cocktail and a show costs £49 per person; dinner costs £79 and guests can stay overnight from £10 extra.
Head of marketing Mike Hall said: "These on board events have been a great success and it serves two purposes. Firstly, we are able to show our future customers what it is like on board, try the food, the drinks, sample the entertainment and for many stay on board overnight. Secondly, as a unique venue for a special family celebration or just with a group of friends, it is a good value and different alternative to the usual choices of restaurants or pubs."
