Treats & Pastimes

Lots of our guests like to use their sea days or longer voyages to try their hand at something they haven't done before, so we host sociable activities like learning to play the ukulele, learning to dance or singing in a choir.

On Borealis and Bolette we have a purpose built beautiful studio space dedicated to art, and to craft. It’s fully equipped with easels and art materials and the light is absolutely beautiful. Here you can take part in painting and drawing classes as well as learn new crafts like block-printing.

Food and drink lovers can learn more about the tastes of the region they are visiting in one of our tasting sessions.

There’s a really beautiful spa on board all three ships and it is very difficult to think of anything more relaxing than the experience we provide there. Floor to ceiling windows mean there are wonderful views to enjoy as you are pampered. Sit back and watch the wide skies and blue waters glide by as you’re looked after by our team of specialist beauticians, hairdressers and beauty therapists.

Our Fitness Centres have some of the most spectacular views of any gym anywhere! On all three ships, they are located in incredible positions that mean whatever you are doing you are looking out at the sea and the sky beyond. There really is no more uplifting place to do a yoga or pilates class or a small group workout session.

We have swimming pools and Jacuzzis on board every ship for those who like to relax and unwind. And our retractable roofs on Bolette and Borealis mean you can enjoy a swim in any weather.

Our entertainment team run a wonderful programme of activities throughout your cruise. Every day, they host traditional deck games like Quoits, Deck Tennis and Shuffleboard, lay-on fantastic quizzes and introduce light-hearted sociable classes. We have a dedicated card room for Bridge tournaments, and spaces where you can complete puzzles - often with the help of passers by.

Each ship has its own Theatre Company who proudly present live musical shows for our guests. They are joined by visiting professional artists, comedians, performers or illusionists to provide a really varied programme to keep you entertained through every day of your cruise.

Live music and entertainment are a very important part of any cruise experience. Every ship has its own House Band, and on every cruise we bring on board classical musicians, bands, singers and soloists who put on a wonderful programme of live music, performances and recitals throughout the day. For those who love to dance, there’s a dance floor or two on every ship. We hold lots of classes, with Dance Hosts to accompany the proficient or to teach the steps for those who would like to learn.
