The CMV ship Discovery will sail from Rosyth, Glasgow Greenock and Edinburgh Leith in 2014. There are cruises to Iceland, Baltic Cities and Russia, Norwegian Fjords, the North Cape, Scottish Islands and Faroes to choose from.

Discovery is a traditional smaller ship with wooden decks, carrying up to 700 passengers, and able to reach more remote ports of call. She provides the unique country-house style experience on board that Cruise & Maritime Voyages is well known for. Most of the passengers are British and the currency on board is sterling.

Mike Hall, Head of Marketing at CMV said “Our Scottish passengers have made it perfectly clear that if we operate cruises closer to where they live they will book them. Currently, we have a Buy One Get One Free (BOGOF) campaign. This includes many of our Scottish departures. This current campaign is due to end on 7 December 2013.”
