The difference between Classic Imperial cruise and Legend Imperial cruise: Imperial Legend Cruise is 3 star cruise, while Imperial Classic Cruise is 2 star cruise. There are 11 cabins on Legend Imperial Cruise, but 8-10 cabins on Imperial Classic Cruise. The cabins on Imperial Legend Cruise are nicer and bigger. There is an extra Sunset party in the first day of Imperial Legend's itinerary ( Join the sunset party on the sundeck in warm and romantic atmosphere, drinking wine, enjoy fresh local fruit, listening soft, light music from the sundeck bar). This party is not included on Superior Imperial's itinerary. The foods and the service on Imperial Legend Cruise are better than that of Imperial Classic Cruise.
