Onboard Experience

Entertainment

Voyages to Antiquity are centred on history, art and culture of the Mediterranean and, as such, feature a host of special inclusions such as celebrated musicians, distinguished lecturers and guest speakers, together with special events on selected itineraries. For example, cruises visiting Venice offer guests an exclusive evening visit to St Mark’s Basilica with special lighting illuminating the spectacular mosaics.  

Dining

The most formal of the restaurants, the Marco Polo, has casual country-club elegance and Mediterranean-influenced food. Boasting indoor and outdoor seating, sophisticated interior design and cooking on the open grill, the Terrace Café replicates the charm of a seaside trattoria. In the evenings, Tapas on the Terrace recreates the informal yet sophisticated atmosphere of a Mediterranean bistro.
