MV Magellan, CMV's New Flagship!

In what was a bold and surprising move by Cruise and Maritime (CMV) to acquire the 46,052 ton ship from Carnival Corporation's Iberocrucieros, the company is looking forward to the naming ceremony and launch party of Magellan on the 7th March 2015 in London Tilbury. Of course, the season of naming ceremonies is in full flow with the naming of P&O Cruises Britannia on March 10th and Anthem of the Seas also debuting in April, it may have seemed that CMV's Magellan would have been forgotten about. Thankfully, that hasn't been the case. It is an exciting period of time for new ships being launched and the introduction of Magellan represents a major coup for CMV and a step up the capacity ladder for the company. She will be the largest ship in the fleet and will also be the newest out of the array of ships they have. She will add a modern touch to the company but not overly yet will still have a traditional cruising feel about her. Passengers will be able to explore the 9 passenger decks that she boasts and with comfortable accomodation, the passengers will warm very quickly to the handsome Magellan.

There will be a wide range of entertainment on board including a two tier dedicated show lounge. This will be where productions shows and cabaret acts will entertain the audience. 

Magellan will also boast two outdoor swimming pools, perfect for the sunnier climes and also there will be three whirlpools for the less sunnier climes. Magellan will also captivate  the passengers with good expansive deck space where you can enjoy daily exercise or quietly watch the world go by in the comfort of a sun-lounger and catch up on some 40 winks or a good book. 

It is an exciting new chapter in the history of Cruise and Maritime but a chapter that looks likely to go from strength to strength and no doubt that Magellan will quickly become a favourite for many years to come!
