点评:Coral Expeditions: Relaxed Coastal Cruising for the Elderly
We chose this cruise because it was marketed as an expedition cruise with scuba diving and hikes, but it did not deliver that experience.
The cabin was comfortable, which was the main positive. However, there was a noticeable nickel-and-dime approach, especially disappointing given this cruise cost more than comparable Silversea and Ponant expedition cruises we’ve done.
Despite diving being a key selling point, we completed only three dives over 16 days due to low participation, with no apparent effort to offer more. No hikes occurred at all, despite being advertised. Wildlife encounters felt comparable to visiting a zoo rather than a true expedition experience.
The lectures were poor, mostly personal travel slide shows with little educational value. Food was very basic and institutional. We were also by far the youngest passengers onboard, and the cruise was clearly geared toward a much older demographic.
Overall, this is not an expedition cruise. It may suit travellers seeking a very quiet, low-activity cruise, but not those expecting genuine expedition travel.

我们选择这趟邮轮之旅是因为它宣传的是包含潜水和徒步旅行的探险邮轮,但实际体验却并非如此。
客舱很舒适,这是唯一的亮点。然而,邮轮公司处处斤斤计较,尤其令人失望的是,它的价格比我们之前乘坐过的银海邮轮和庞洛邮轮的同类探险邮轮还要高。
尽管潜水是这趟邮轮之旅的主要卖点,但由于参与人数少,我们在16天的航程中只完成了三次潜水,而且邮轮公司似乎也没有努力安排更多潜水活动。尽管宣传中有徒步旅行项目,但实际上并没有。与野生动物的邂逅感觉更像是参观动物园,而不是真正的探险体验。
讲座内容糟糕,大多是个人旅行幻灯片,几乎没有任何教育意义。食物非常简陋,缺乏特色。我们是船上最年轻的乘客,而这趟邮轮之旅显然是面向年龄更大的群体。
总而言之,这并非一次真正的探险邮轮之旅。它可能适合寻求非常安静、活动较少的邮轮旅行的旅客,但不适合那些期待真正探险旅行的旅客。
