Excelsior was first launched in 1999 as sister ship to the Excellent which was commissioned the year before. The Excelsior has a large passenger capacity of 2253 and can keep over 700 vehicles below deck in its garages. She is wonderfully equipped and onboard you will find numerous facilities such as a la carte restaurant, games room, children’s play area, shopping center and much more.
387 cabins and 38 luxury suites are available onboard the Excelsior for those who choose that little bit of extra luxury on this GNV ship. The comfy accommodation allows you to put your feet up, get some sleep and relax whilst making the smooth sailing. All cabins come with air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, including a shower and hairdryer. The spacious and sumptuous suites also include air conditioning as well as additions such as a television, radio and mini bar and a large porthole to admire the sea views.
This ferry provides travellers with an extensive selection of food and drink options, with an a la carte restaurant, self-service food area and snack bar. The a la carte selection serves up choices for all three courses, with a mix of Mediterranean cuisine, regional foods and international flavours. The self service area contains a fast and informal restaurant setting, with extensive choices to suit all. The snack bar serves up breakfast, lunch, dinner and that something small in between if you are feeling peckish. This includes a variety of meal options and sandwiches, fruit salads and ice creams, to name a few.
The shopping centre provides the chance to purchase gifts and pick up some great bargains on items such as perfume, aftershave, alcohol and other selected items. There are also newspapers, magazines, books, toys and puzzles to help you pass the time on your travels.
The Excellent contains a Games Room with video games or if you are feeling lucky you can try out the slot machines. If you are going away on business, you and your colleagues won’t have to fall behind on deadlines or meetings, as the ship is equipped with a conference centre and meeting rooms. A photographer is also onboard in peak months and you’ll also find a library and a chapel.
A designated Children’s Area can be found on Excelsior so you won’t have any issue in keeping your little ones occupied during your journey.
The ship has been adapted throughout to help travellers with restricted mobility and also has four disabled cabins.
