Jaz Minerva

5 Stars Superior

Cruise in comfort and style onboard the Five-star luxury-rated Jaz Minerva.

The Jaz Minerva offers luxurious cabins, mouth-watering cuisine and a variety of entrainment and recreation on board.

You’ll never get bored or lack for something to keep you occupied, even if that’s just soaking up the rays on the enormous Sun deck that runs the entire length of the ship. This floating luxury hotel features a round-the-clock reception service as well as internet and international telephone facilities (charged against use) on board. The large and elegantly furnished restaurant can accommodate all passengers in one sitting, while the opulent lounge and bar will give the prefect area to relax or chat.
