Life Onboard a Ship

 

Going Home

 

Each cruise line has their own unique way to pamper you and indulge your senses.  There is always something to do onboard a cruise ship.  If you want to kick back and relax poolside with a book, you are free to do so whenever you wish. But if you are looking for a little more action and entertainment, the possibilities are endless.  In addition to the options featured below, many ships also feature sports equipment and play areas, libraries,  as well as cruise line sponsored games and themed events and parties.

 

Lounges, Bars and Clubs
Each ship has several bars, lounges and clubs to choose from.  You can dance the night away at one of the night clubs or enjoy a martini while enjoying some live entertainment. 
 

 

Elegant décor, superior service, live music and exotic beverages create a wonderful environment for making new friends or getting together with old ones.

 

Shows
Cruise line production teams work countless hours setting the stage for some of the most exclusive entertainers to put on imaginative and remarkable shows for their guests night after night.  From singers and dancers, to comedians and magicians.  Whatever your interest, there is a show for you!

And if live entertainment doesn't appeal to you, many ships show the latest blockbuster movies (and some of your old favorites).

 

Enrichment Programs/Classes
Cruises aren't simply a way to relax and unwind.  They also offer opportunities to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit.

Some examples of these activities are:

 

  • Wine tastings
  • Computer Classes
  • Digital Photography Classes
  • Drawing and Painting
  • Cultural and Port Education
  • Religious services offered in many denominations

 
Casino
If lady luck inspires you, cruise ships offer state-of-the-art gaming systems and tables.  You can give the roulette wheel a spin, enter a poker tournament, or spin to win on the numerous slot machines.  Onboard casinos offer many of the games you will find at your favorite casino.

 

Shopping
Not all treasures are found buried at sea. Elegant shops and gallerias hold the promise of discovery and delight. Marble walkways lead you from sophisticated boutiques to fine jewelry stores that hold stylish clothing, precious gems, cosmetics, fragrances and more. Window shop, attend a fashion show or select gifts for friends and family. Then, indulge yourself as you encounter the ideal memento of your truly extraordinary cruise experience.

 

Art Auctions
An appreciation for the finer things sets you apart. You'll be rewarded with culturally enriching experiences at every turn. Throughout the ships, you'll find museum-quality artwork on display by masters like Picasso and contemporary painters like Peter Max. Onboard art auctions allow you the opportunity to get up close and personal with these amazing works of art and often the artist!  Sip champagne as you discover the next great surrealist or complete your already impressive collection.
