Facilities & Activities

Book in for a lesson in wine-tasting or Latin dancing or if that's all too active, you can just lie back and relax and be completely pampered in the Wellness Centre or, on some of the newer ships, the Samsara Spa - some of the largest spas afloat. In the evening there are nightly shows to enjoy; try your luck in the lively casino or dance the night away in the onboard disco.
