Tanda III — Barco

Let's take a look around the ship.

The pool, the sunset terrace, the restaurant, the milonga lounge and the cabins. Pick one and we'll take you there.

D11 · Beach Club · Pool

A break in the sun.

Daytime is for the pool, the sun and a lounger. Your feet rest and save their energy for the night.

Panorama of the pool deck

D9 · The Verandah

At sunset, we're on the aft deck.

The wake turns to gold. A glass in hand; the lounge doors open soon.

Blue Sapphire at sunset

D7 · Main restaurant

Dinner runs long.

Three meals a day and a late-night buffet are included. Conversations that start on the floor carry on at the table, and sometimes the other way round.

Restaurant tables with a sea view

D8 · Britannia Lounge

And the night begins.

A stage, a bar and the dance floor. A glance, a nod: the cabeceo. The night's milonga is here.

D5–10 · Cabin

You wake up to a new island.

  1. The corridor is quiet; the milonga still in your ears.
  2. Your cabin is made up and waiting.
  3. Draw back the curtain.
  4. And the sea. A new harbour today.
