Love it or hate it, the MS Royal Star certainly provoked some strong opinions from HolidayTruths reviewers. Whatever your opinion, the cruise ship which toured some of the Indian Ocean's most beautiful destinations, including the Seychelles and Mauritius, was not enough to keep its owners African Safari Club afloat.
The tour operator, which specialised in both beach and safari holidays to Kenya as well as cruises folded in March 2011. However, Kenya remains a popular destination while Silversea's Silver Wind is running a full programme of Indian Ocean cruising throughout the 2012-13 winter season.

Ship's Cleanliness is excellent. We were the first passengers to board after a refurbishment to all public areas and decks. The Ship's food was superb with seven course evening meals. The staff were very friendly and obliging at all times. Onboard entertainment was good but I would have prefered longer night time shows. The ports of call were beautiful especially the Seychelles, Mauritius and Zanzibar.
