Braemar

Dine at the main venue, the Thistle Restaurant, for your chance to experience delicious, freshly made cuisine. The Thistle also plays host to the wonderful Gala Dinner formal nights, where guests don their best outfits for a sophisticated and traditional evening.

The next main restaurant onboard the Braemar is the Grampian Restaurant, which offers the same delicious menu as the Thistle, but in a smaller, more intimate setting. If you wish to experience flexible dining times in more a casual setting, then the Palms Café serves up extensive buffet cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Palms Café is also the place to head for a midnight snack, with a hot and cold buffet on offer between 11pm and 12am.

There is plenty to see and do onboard the Braemar. In the evening time, catch some live music performances and comedy shows at the Morning Light Pub. The Neptune Lounge and the Coral Club also play host to live music, as well as spectacular cabaret acts and musical revues. The Coral Club is also the place to go for a delicious Afternoon Tea or a spot of Bingo.

If you wish to enjoy a slightly quieter evening, relax with a beverage and some musical accompaniment from the resident string trio in The Braemar Room. For some spectacular sea views, the Observatory Lounge provides a relaxed setting with wonderful sea views. There are binoculars located throughout the lounge so that you can do some wildlife spotting at sea, or study the scenery as you sail into port.

When the weather allows for some al fresco entertainment, head to the Lido Bar where you can enjoy snacks and refreshments whilst enjoying the sea air. The Marquee Pool Bar also serves outdoor refreshments for those who wish to soak up the sunshine.

Aside from the many bars onboard, you’ll find a well-stocked library, golf cages and a spacious promenade, where you can join in with a game of deck quoits or shuffleboard. The Card Room is also a great place for game playing and is the ideal destination for a Bridge Tournament, board game or card game with fellow guests. For those who enjoy hands-on activities, the Arts and Crafts Room holds regular workshops to get the creative juices flowing.

If you feel like treating yourself to a new outfit, or perhaps you forgot to pack those holiday essentials, then you will find a collection of onboard shops selling perfume, jewellery, snacks, souvenirs and more. You can also visit the Photo Gallery for a chance to print out your holiday snaps or to get them organised onto a USB memory stick to take home with you.

Spend some time pampering yourself at the Atlantis Spa & Salon. Rejuvenate and refresh tired skin with a range of facials and skin treatments, make your hair radiant with nourishing hair treatments and show off your nails with a manicure or pedicure.

After a day at the spa, why not keep up that feeling of wellbeing with a trip to the Fitness Centre where you can choose to take an exercise class with a fully qualified fitness instructor. Choose from gentle Yoga and Pilates or a more intense cardio session.

Onboard you will also find a swimming pool, complete with Swimex machines for aqua exercise and a hot tub for your ultimate relaxation. There are also plenty of sunloungers located around the pool deck – great for relaxing with a good book or a cold refreshment from the Pool Bar.
