If exploring at your own pace sounds more your cup of tea, our tickets and attractions experiences are perfect. You can set off on your own and join in with things like food tasting tours, or see the destination on hop-on-and-off buses. If you’d rather just bag yourself a spot in a local café and watch the world go by, that’s great, too – our cruises allow for as much sightseeing as you like.

If you want to find out everything you need to know about the ports we visit, don’t miss our Cruise Experience Manager’s daily port talks. They’ll also tell you about some of the shore experiences available. Also, use the onboard app, Navigate. It’s got port maps on it – perfect for if you want to go off and explore alone.

This lounge takes pride of place at the heart of our ships. As with all our venues, you can expect widescreen windows for admiring the panoramic views. You can get an even better look from the outdoor terrace, though – it’s a sheltered spot, kitted out with tables and chairs. It’s happy hour here every evening, with discounted drinks and complimentary canapés. After dark, Observatory hosts the nightly entertainment, where the entertainment team perform West End hits, pop classics and rock and roll anthems. Interactive quizzes, local guest acts and silent discos are all on the cards here, too.

Coffee and cocktails are the cornerstones of this bar. Plush purple chairs, brass fittings and mirrored tables set a sophisticated scene. By day, you can sip a coffee* while taking in the views. At night, you can clink pre-dinner cocktails* in front of a roaring digital fireplace, before heading to one of the restaurants. Return after dinner if you fancy a quiet bar for after-dark drinks.

The views from the top deck are worth swooning over, but that’s not all it’s good for. It’s split into zones, with different areas for relaxation and activities. Plus, when you want to switch up the pace, there’s an area for activities, where deck games like minigolf, cornhole and shuffleboard take place. There’s a giant Connect 4 up here, too. You can check the full activity schedule once you’re onboard.

The Atrium is the main hub of our ships. It’s where you’ll find the Reception desk, as well as the River Cruise Experience Manager, who can help with any questions and shore experience bookings. You can also retreat to the library, play board games, or stock up on souvenirs from the onboard shop. Outside of mealtimes, you can grab a complimentary tea or coffee from the self-service station here.

You can soothe any aching muscles in the Wellness Area. With a sauna and a whirlpool bath, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day’s sightseeing.
