| Mercury can perhaps be described as sporting a look of European sensibility. She features clean, sharp lines as well as vibrant, primary colors. These features are complemented by inviting woods and accented with chrome throughout the vessel. The Mercury is well suited for the discriminating traveler who is looking to step up his or her cruise experience from 'mainstream' sailing. Mercury exudes a variety of sentiments throughout the ages - everything from modern art pieces to black and white photographs from the late 1920s. | ||

bold collection of artwork while also displaying her more traditional
history, such as a photo of her godmother - Patricia Barrett Carpenter,
wife of astronaut Scott Carpenter. Left : Aptly named, this piece 'Mirror', made of stainless steel in 1996. |

Expansive corridors and staircases create a sense of spaciousness throughout Mercury. Interesting pieces of art are cleverly appointed throughout the ship to keep guests' senses of discovery heightened. |
