The four-star facilities include elegant main dining rooms, alternative bistro restaurants with al fresco dining, full-service health clubs, beauty centers, casinos, libraries, live entertainment showrooms, several lounges, a piano bar, and outdoor swimming pools.

Orient Lines, comprised of the 22,080-ton, 850-passenger Marco Polo, has earned the World Ocean & Cruise Liner Society's title of "Best Cruise Value Superior 4-Star Category."
