The moment I stepped aboard, I was struck by the elegant yet contemporary design that flowed seamlessly throughout the ship. Every space was thoughtfully curated, blending refined sophistication with modern comfort. At the heart of it all stood the breath-taking Lalique Grand Staircase—a true work of art and the central focal point of the ship.
My suite was spacious, beautifully appointed, and designed with relaxation in mind. One of the standout features was the lavish marbled bathroom, which offered a full-size bathtub. After a day filled with exploring new ports, sinking into a warm bath was the perfect way to unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures.
As expected from a cruise line renowned for offering The Finest Cuisine at Sea, the culinary experiences aboard did not disappoint in the slightest. Every restaurant brought its own unique flair, but one that stood out for me was Aquamar Kitchen. This dining venue elevates health-conscious cuisine into something truly special, offering wellness-inspired dishes that are as indulgent as they are nourishing. I especially enjoyed starting my mornings with perfectly poached eggs on avocado toast, and later indulging in vibrant yellowfin tuna tacos that were as beautifully presented as they were delicious.
Afternoons were often spent poolside, basking in the warm sunshine with a good book or simply enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. What made those lazy hours even sweeter was a stop at the all-day ice cream parlour, where I treated myself to a scoop—or two!
