Rotterdam

Rotterdam cruise ship offers an excellent choice of dining experiences in five different restaurants, all with impeccable standards of service. The La Fontaine is the largest dining room on the ship, with an elegantly curving mezzanine floor. The five-course menu offers a wide choice of continental cuisines and vegetarian or low-carb dishes.

The Pinnacle Grill offers reservation-only dining, featuring a continental style steakhouse menu. For one night per cruise, the Pinnacle is transformed into the ‘Taste of De Librije’, which showcases the Michelin Star cuisine of Dutch chef, Jonnie Boer.

The Lido Restaurant is a place to relax for any meal of the day, with a menu featuring a variety of dishes cooked to order. In the evenings it becomes a bistro that includes a self-service stand. One section of the Lido transforms into the Caneletto Restaurant, the ideal setting for an intimate evening with discreet personal service and an Italian menu featuring a chef’s selection of delicious antipasti.

There is a wealth of things to do and enjoy and to fill your days on the ship, from sports, yoga and aerobics to cooking or computer classes. You can dance to a live band in the Ocean Bar, play poker, roulette or blackjack in the casino, or join a sing-along with the resident Piano Man in the Martini Bar. At night, the Crow’s Nest turns into a chic nightclub, with late night entertainment including karaoke, the Super Star Singing Competition and DJs playing into the small hours. The Wajang Theatre features a programme of high-quality productions with Broadway-experienced singers and dancers. The Explorer's Lounge also features shows by talented dancers, singers, comedians, illusionists and other variety acts.

Mix is Rotterdam’s popular three-in-one bar area. This includes Spirits & Ales, perfect for the lover of single malts and microbrews, where you can also get a live sports update; Martinis, for your favourite cocktails; and Champagne, for upmarket relaxation and celebrations.

The activities programme is organised into four classifications. Explorations, led by the ship’s Travel Guide, includes presentations on different aspects of the various destinations; Culinary Arts includes cooking demonstrations, classes on wine tasting and entertaining, and cooking classes led by one of the ship’s chefs; the Microsoft Digital Workshop covers basic computing, blogging, photo-editing and web page design; and Mind-Body-Spirit includes fitness classes and lectures on various allied subjects. Club HAL® has supervised activities for children and teens aged 3 to 17, and The Loft is a club exclusively for teenagers, a place for them to hang out and socialise away from adults.
