Black Prince Public Areas
Black Prince's classic cruising formula continues to earn her a growing following of both regular and new admirers. Travellers for whom the packaged uniformity and overwhelming glitz of many of today's impersonal 1,000 cabin leviathans hold little appeal. With just 241 cabins, Black Prince upholds a timeless cruising tradition with an engaging personality and intimate convivial mood all her own.
One thing you'll certainly have no problem in spending aboard Black Prince is - energy! There's an impressive indoor health, fitness and beauty centre (complete with its own pool) - as well as the Lido Deck outdoor pool, Jacuzzis, and extensive deck space offering quoits, chess and other shipboard pastimes. But most original of all is the unique Marina Outdoor Leisure Centre, set on a purpose-built pontoon deck at sea level and from where, when the ship is at anchor and local conditions are favourable you can enjoy speedboats, inflatables, waterskiing, windsurfing, and dinghy sailing.

Restaurants
The best traditions of fine dining at sea are honoured by the superb cuisine awaiting you aboard. Whether the venue is the informal conservatory-style Balblom Restaurant for lunch, or the elegant evening setting of the Fleur de Lys or Royal Garter Restaurants, you'll enjoy tempting culinary encounters with menus designed to ensure that your palate, too, enjoys a holiday to remember!
Indoor Leisure Centre
For the more energetic there's a fully equipped fitness centre with weights, rowing machines, treadmills, stepping machines and cycling machines and a large dance studio with a fully trained aerobics and fitness instructor. To wind down afterwards the fitness centre also includes sauna and solarium. What's more if the weather on deck is not at its best but you fancy a swim, then don't worry as the Leisure Centre also has a good sized indoor swimming pool.
Marina Outdoor Leisure Centre
One of the most unique features of Black Prince is the Marina Outdoor Leisure Centre. The back of the ship opens up and a purpose-built pontoon deck is formed at sea level from where you can try water skiing, windsurfing, speedboating, inflatables and dinghy sailing under their expert tuition.
Subject to local conditions.
Pools
From the superb indoor pool to the outdoor pool and Jacuzzis, whether relaxing on a poolside lounger or splashing about in the water, the pools are sure to be a major attraction.
Bars & Lounges
There's a choice of bars, their ever changing mood the perfect compliment to the moment on board - morning, noon and night. Choose from the Lido Lounge and Bar or the tranquil Aquitaine Lounge - a perfect retreat for those quieter moments - and the spot for a relaxing drink to a background of soft piano music. Or you can opt for the livelier mood and entertainments of the Neptune Lounge, the vivacious stage for Showtime. All of the bars stay open late for the "night owls" who may feel the need to "flutter" at the casino.
Hairdressing & Beauty Salon
Whether to look your best for that special occasion or simply to give yourself a well deserved treat why not pamper yourself with a visit to their beauty salon.
Neptune Lounge
The Neptune Lounge is the place to head after enjoying your evening meal. With shows, reviews and evenings of cabaret guaranteed to have you shouting "encore". The revue programme of comedy and music features guest stars from television and theatre, and surprise, internationally known artists; plus their on board dancers and singers. Additionally, when the ship is in port there's also usually a chance to enjoy the bonus of some memorable evenings of song and dance as they welcome aboard local performers to entertain you with their skills - from Russian dancers in St. Petersburg to flamenco in the Canaries!
Library
If you have forgotten to bring a book or want to do some research on any of the ports of call you will be visiting, then Black Prince's well stocked library is sure to have something of interest for you.
Shops
From stylish fashion and famous name perfumes to those everyday essentials and gifts you're sure to want to keep; the shops on-board offer a wide range of products all at duty free prices.
Casino
Why not see if lady luck is smiling on you with a quiet game of Blackjack or Roulette in their casino.
Fitness Centre
For the more energetic there's a fully equipped fitness centre with weights, rowing machines, treadmills, stepping machines and cycling machines and a large dance studio with a fully trained aerobics and fitness instructor.
