The much-loved Island Escape became part of the Thomson fleet in March 2009 when Thomson Cruises completely took over the Island Cruises programme. Despite this change, the laidback onboard experience remains the same as always – relaxed, friendly and very informal. more info ›
Island Escape has a wide variety of facilities and amenities to keep the whole family amused and entertained throughout the day. Leisure facilities include a large swimming pool on the sun deck complete with a closing roof for rainy days. There is also a Spa which has a large ocean view gym, aerobics studio and sauna. You can also partake in salsa classes and fruit carving demonstrations. For kids the Palmy’s kids club offers the very best childcare and daily activities programme.
Evening entertainment is equally as diversified, be it a West End style show, cabaret or comedy act at the Ocean Theatre or game shows and live music in the Bounty Lounge. There is also a casino and an ocean view late-night disco on the top deck. As for dining, there are three restaurants to choose from including two buffet restaurants, one of which serves food 24-hours plus the speciality a la carte Oasis restaurant. After dinner there are six bars and lounges spread around the ship including an English Pub.
