Magellan
Magellan from TransOcean Cruises : Everything you need to know
The ship was built in 1985 and since 2015 it has belonged to the fleet. Before that Magellan was in service for Carnival Cruise Line and Ibero Cruceros. The ship is well structured so that guests remember the locations and ways easily. Most of the public areas are located on deck 8-12. Short ways are caused by restaurants, lounges and bars close to each other. The Neptune Observation Bar at the stern is one of the best places to watch the sail away.
