In terms of the UK, old ships attract old people!
(I would not let that put me off though).
I myself am 29 and my girlfriend is 26 so that would be a little unusual I think if we would cruise Marco Polo.

So what? Don"t be disencouraged by that. Of course I do not know your personal preferences and whether it is a problem for you personally to be amongst the youngest passengers (you might not even be the youngest passengers). Your age is not nearly as 'unusual' as you think and should not cause any problems at all.

Thanks everyone !!
Now off course the second question, what 's the service like, is the cruise worth the money you pay for it ?
I am in my mid 40's now and would consider growing older a distinction. I find it fun meeting older men and women if only for their stories. I wouldn't let age determine where you travel, because you only have this one life, so better make it good.

A 'bunch'? More like a COMPLETE photo-tour of most of ship! And very nice too.
I toured her a few years ago when she was owned by NCL. I must say that I find her exterior very attractive, but internally the decor was rather bland* in terms of colours. Mind you pam, it looks like some areas have had a refit?

Last year, we made a cruise around the British Isles on Marco Polo. As Matt said, the food is good, but more variety would be better. The service is still excellent and the cruisedirector, Richard Sykes, is outstanding.Allthough the average age seemed somewhere between 55 - 70, there were quite some young people on board.
