There are plenty of facilities onboard to help keep you busy. Head to our onboard bars where you will be serenaded by our acoustic troubadour or entertained by our house band while enjoying a range of drinks including wines, beers, spirits and cocktails. We also have 3 onboard restaurants where you can enjoy a range of dishes, including an all-you-can-eat world-food buffet and expertly prepared steaks!
When it gets late, retire to your own private en suite cabin and get a good night’s sleep as we sail you to your destination. Next morning when we arrive into IJmuiden you car ride off and your European tour awaits you.
