Highlights of the Mediterranean

Grab a seat – and a glass of bubbles – at this classy bar, and you’ll have a great view of the entertainment in the atrium.

The heart of each ship is taken over by a spectacular five-storey atrium. Think panoramic windows, mood lighting, and Willy Wonka-esque glass lifts. Low-key entertainment is held here, with an agenda that includes cabaret performances and cocktails with the Captain.

As the flagship watering hole, this venue houses our biggest selection of on-tap beers. Expect the atmosphere to build pace as the hours draw in – evenings might start with the sounds of our signature yellow piano, and end with the sounds of dance-floor classics.

Plush seating and an 800-plus capacity give this main entertainment venue professional credentials. The show calendar has everything from glitzy performances to modern dance numbers. Expect nightly performances from the talented show team, with dazzling costumes and high-energy acts. Marella fly top guest acts over to perform on board, too.

A position on the highest point on Deck 11 – where the bar gets its name from – means that drinks in this lounge come with the ship’s best sea views. It’s a contemporary cocktail bar by evening, transforming into a late-night disco as the hours pass.

The stylish casino is open until late, and features live roulette, blackjack tables and fruit machines. If you’re a beginner, ask the croupiers about getting some lessons in. You’ve also got the entertainment – and the bar – in the Live Room to accompany you while you’re having a flutter. Charges apply here.

If you really want to get under the skin of a place, book a bike tour. All our ships have a collection of mountain bikes onboard and, at almost every port, you can join an experienced guide and cycle your way around the best sights. The distance and difficulty of each tour varies, from relaxed rides over flat ground, to more challenging trips on hilly terrain. If you don’t fancy as much pedalling, there are electric bikes onboard, too. For more information, just speak to a member of the Destination Services team.

Our Destination Services team can talk to you about our ports of call, help you decide which excursions are right for you, and book you onto your next cruise with us.
