Columbus Club

Columbus Club - Amsterdam to Newcastle
Looking for a party atmosphere? The Columbus Club is the largest bar onboard and is our main venue for live music, entertainment and of course a great selection of drinks. There’s even an extensive cocktail menu – choose yours and watch it be shaken to perfection right in front of you!
Why not start the evening with a game of bingo? You may be lucky and win a bottle of bubbly or vouchers to spend in the bar! Then enjoy live performances from quality bands who are sure to get you on the dancefloor.
Please note that access to Compass and Columbus bars might be limited on the 10th, 11th, 24th, 25th of March and 29th of April.
Dance till you drop
When the sun goes down, the excitement ramps up. Enjoy a final song and dance with our live music, before our DJ takes over and turns Columbus into a nightclub.
Dance until the early hours before resting your feet and head in your onboard cabin, enjoying a well deserved sleep.
