‘Are we nearly there yet?' is a phrase you're never likely to hear on this cruise ship because the kids will be in their element at Club HAL®. Not only do they have their own play space onboard but trained staff are there to supervise all kinds of fun and games for all age groups, from 3-12. Teenagers also have their own cool hangout known as the Loft, where they can party with other kids their age.

While the kids are busy having fun, you get some time to relax in whatever way you like best. Go lounge by the pool and catch some rays or grab a coffee in the Explorations Café and spend some time browsing the library, or listening to CDs at a comfortable music listening station.

You can join your cruise ship's master chefs and other culinary guests for an interactive cookery demonstration, try a little wine tasting with your sommelier or play some sport up on deck. If you prefer to spend your free time being pampered, indulge in a hot stone massage or treat yourself to a manicure at the Greenhouse Spa.
