Play area

Our new play area will keep the kids entertained throughout the crossing! It is located opposite the entrance to our Duty Free shop and is free to use.

The play area has a sofa and interactive games on the walls. If your children prefer drawing, they can do so in the reception area of the ship where colouring books and crayons are available on request.

Alternatively, keep the kids entertained onboard with Jack's Treasure Hunt! Join Jack the Pirate and his friends on a 5-stage adventure around the ship to find the hidden treasure.

Simply grab your smartphone, connect to the free WiFi, and scan the QR code posters hidden throughout the ship. Solve the clues and unlock the next stage of the treasure hunt!
