ONBOARD AMENITIES
OBSERVATION LOUNGE
Our observation lounge is the perfect place to unwind in between
activities. Here you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink,
meet with new friends, play cards or simply
enjoy the views from our large, panoramic windows. The observation
lounge is also the epicenter of onboard
activities, the location for daily recaps, lectures, briefings, film
screenings and
other events. There is a 24-hour self-serve
refreshment station which includes coffee and tea.
DINING ROOM
Located on deck 3, our dining room is equipped to seat all our passengers
at one time and operates on an open seating
policy, creating an informal setting. Here, you
will be treated to a varied and delicious international cuisine prepared by
our talented chefs and served by our friendly
stewardesses. A selection of entrees is offered at each meal with
vegetarian option available.
BAR
The cozy Polar Bar can be found on deck 4 and is usually open from shortly
after dinner until the wee hours - a great
place to mingle with fellow passengers in a
casual atmosphere. Passengers can also utilize our bar in the observation
lounge, open before dinner each evening and at
times during the day.
LIBRARY
Sometimes it is nice to have some quiet time to soak up the experiences of
the day or curl up with a good book. Our
charming library provides just that opportunity.
The library is located on deck 5 and is stocked with board games for
leisure hours at sea, reference materials,
novels and paperbacks. Our paperback section operates on a “leave and
lend” basis.
