June 2001 Africa Eclipse Cruise The m/s ROYAL STAR

The m/s ROYAL STAR is a 220-passenger vessel built in the traditional style with teak wood decking, polished brass fittings, and plenty of open deck space.  The ship's intimate size feels more like a private yacht, yet she is large enough to be fully stabilized, air-conditioned, have a swimming pool, a small fitness center, a doctor, and a crew of 130 people.  The food is bountiful and superb, offering familiar favorites along with exotic regional specialties.  Sumptuous seven-course dinners are served each evening.  During our charter, there are no formal occasions, and with the ship's casual atmosphere, there is no need to change from your swimsuit to indulge in the poolside lunch buffet.  All cabins have private baths, and the majority are outside with a window view or porthole.

The main lounge is our lecture hall by day and offers nightly entertainment.  There is also a piano bar and casino.  Other facilities include a massage and sauna center, a beauty salon, boutique, and library.  There are plenty of deck chairs, an open-air buffet and Lido bar near the pool.
