Onboard experience

Shopping at Sea

Restaurants

Enjoy an inclusive meal onboard. With fish & chips and vegetarian options always on the menu as well as cooked breakfasts and light bites, there is something for everyone. Please note, 7 Seas Restaurant is always open and Lighthouse Café will be open during busier crossings.

Relaxing

Enjoy your sailing in the peaceful Premium Lounge surroundings as you set sail, taking in the sea views. Priority Boarding can make your crossing even smoother, making you one of the first to board and disembark. Premium Lounge is only available on selected crossings. Please check before travelling.

Family Fun

Our Pirates’ Island play area is temporarily closed due to Covid-19 safety measures. However, our onboard app, Jack’s Treasure Hunt will keep the little ones occupied as they follow our mascot around the ship to find his treasure.
