Deck layouts, review of facilities, activities, amenities

CMV Magellan deck plan review at CruiseMapper provides newest cruise deck plans (2025-2026-2027 valid floor layouts of the vessel) extracted from the officially issued by Scrapped Cruise Ships deckplan pdf (printable version).

Each of the CMV Magellan cruise ship deck plans are conveniently combined with a legend (showing cabin codes) and detailed review of all the deck's venues and passenger-accessible indoor and outdoor areas. A separate link provides an extensive information on CMV Magellan staterooms (cabins and suites), including photos, cabin plans and amenities by room type and category.

MS Magellan (built in 1985 as "MS Holiday," also known as "Carnival Holiday," last refurbished in December 2019–January 2020) was one of the first Carnival Cruise Line ships. The vessel was operated by Carnival from 1985 to 2009. Between 2010 and 2014, she was renamed "MS Grand Holiday" and transferred to Carnival Corporation's subsidiary IberoCruceros (Spain). In November 2014, it was officially announced that the vessel would join the fleet of CMV (Cruise and Maritime Voyages) under the name "MS Magellan," beginning operations in March 2015.

The CMV Magellan cruise ship deck plan includes a total of 726 staterooms for 1,417 passengers (maximum capacity 1,834), served by 500 crew and staff. The vessel has 12 decks (10 accessible to passengers, 5 with cabins), 4 restaurants, 4 bar lounges, 2 swimming pools, 3 outdoor Jacuzzis (large whirlpool hot tubs), 8 elevators, and a distinctive "Carnival Fun Ship" winged funnel. Stairways are often steeper than usual, and elevators are relatively small.

The ship’s interior features wide corridors and staircases, along with expansive outdoor deck spaces. The cruising experience is traditionally British and home-like. Magellan offers lounges with comfortable seating, cozy bars, multiple indoor and outdoor observation areas, and open-air deck games. Alcoholic beverages are reasonably priced, and no additional service charge is applied.

The dress code is casual during the day and elegant in the evening (suit or jacket with trousers for men, cocktail dress or trouser suit for women). Each cruise of six nights or more includes at least two formal nights. Flip-flops, shorts, and sleeveless tops are not permitted in the onboard restaurants.

Cruise and Maritime Voyages’ gratuity policy is GBP 5 per person per day, automatically added to the onboard account. Gratuities can be adjusted by contacting Reception. Shipboard currency is GBP.
