Testimonies

They cruised on a cargo

We had the most amazing experience on our voyage aboard the Lyra. The Captain and crew were truly wonderful. Always so obliging and readily answered all our questions, which often were many, as it was all so new and different. It was truly sad leaving them and the Lyra in Fos but what amazing memories we have of this voyage.

Mr and Mrs Gross on board CMA CGM LYRA, January 2013
cma-cgm-cargo-cruises-17a

Impressive, great, unique and unforgettable! Even months after the trip I’m still deeply impressed of the experiences in the ports, on the vessel and of the complete crew, starting by the Captain and all the way down to the O/S.
Also the views of the endless ocean was most fascinating.

Mr Steiner on board CMA CGM Khor Fakkan, 2011
cma-cgm-cargo-cruises-17b

Our trip was amazing! The accommodation was pleasant and comfortable, the crew was lovely and the view was absolutely breathtaking. We really enjoyed being cut off from the rest of the world to savour the peace away from busy China.
