            Cabin Description

           

 


 
  This handsome vessel began her career as the popular Harald Jarl, cruising the Norwegian coastline and fjords where she developed quite a following over the years. Extensively renovated in 2003, the newly christened Andrea provides a welcome return to the intimacy and classic nautical sensibility often lacking in larger ships.
Staterooms are attractively designed for comfort and convenience, fully air conditioned with modern bathrooms and thoughtful appointments, Our international service staff has achieved high marks from passengers for their friendliness and professionalism.
Delicious meals are freshly prepared by internationally trained chefs, and served in leisurely single sittings in the Shearwater Restaurant. Other features include a forward Observation Deck and two passenger lounges.
