1. Aurora

Aurora is a mid-sized ship with plenty of personality, offering a wealth of opportunity for indulgence.

 

Sailing on Aurora means sailing in style. Her incredible Atrium spans four decks and is dominated by a 10.5m sculpture that provides an impressive backdrop to the elegant double main staircase.

 

Foodies are spoilt for choice with two main restaurants, as well as three Select Dining venues: Sindhu, The Glass House and The Beach House.

 

At more than 30m above the waterline, The Crow’s Nest cocktail bar offers the best views on the ship. By day, sit back and watch the sea float past. At night, the bar comes into its own: grab a cocktail and reflect on the day’s events as the sun goes down.

 

Keen to kick back and relax? The Crystal Pool is the prime place to lounge, with a retractable roof for relaxing swims in any weather. The pool has two adjoining hot tubs, as well as a bar. For the ultimate in relaxation, visit the Oasis Spa. Unwind in the sauna and steam rooms, bliss out with a hot stone massage, or treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure ahead of an elegant night out.

2. Arcadia

Arcadia is affectionately known as the fleet’s ‘Indulgent Explorer’, and you’ll see why as soon as you step on board this elegant mid-sized ship. She combines the chic with the classic and more than a hint of extravagance, along with a wonderful blend of features tailored to relaxation and pampering.

 

Her signature features create a sophisticated air. Exterior glass-fronted lifts are an eye-catching focal point, while an expansive art collection features no less than 3,000 works of art. 

 

Arcadia offers unforgettable experiences at every turn. There are over six places to eat, including Sindhu and The Ocean Grill, where you can also enjoy Afternoon Tea by Eric Lanlard. Plus, there are more than nine places to socialise and enjoy a drink. Make your evening that little bit more special with a visit to Intermezzo, an exclusive cocktail and Champagne bar. A three-tiered theatre and a boutique cinema also play their part in the sophisticated entertainment offer.

 

The fact that Arcadia is exclusively for adults and mid-sized makes her the ideal luxurious globetrotter. Her size allows her to embark on port-rich and carefully curated itineraries that offer immersive cultural experiences and stunning vistas.
