Overview

Public areas clustered on four upper decks are filled with marble and furnished with sleek, contemporary furnishings and modern Italian artworks. The effect is vibrant, chic, and surprisingly restful.

Lounges and bars are sweeping and grand - the Lido areas for sunning and swimming are expansive.

Restaurants

The single formal restaurant serves open-seating breakfast and lunch and has two assigned seatings for dinner. Breakfast and lunch are also available at the Lido buffet, with seating either indoors or outdoors, where a grill is set up at lunch for hot dogs and hamburgers. Dinner buffets are scheduled for certain nights during the cruise, as are traditional midnight buffets. Both a pizzeria and a patisserie serve snacks throughout the day, and 24-hour room service is available, although there is a charge for certain items.
