Monarch holds her place in history for being the first ever major cruise ship to have a women captain at the helm. Swedish born Karin Stahre Janson took charge in 2007 but has since been joined by a host of other female captains for other operators. This is a great ship tour of the Monarch, now sailing with Pullmantur, she hold just under 3000 guests. The language on board is Spanish, but most people will speak English. It is a great opportunity to have a cruise with children studying the language and have them learn while on holiday.
