The Italian passion for life is evident in the endless pleasures and diversions onboard our ships. Perhaps you’ll begin your morning with an invigorating yoga or Pilates class, volleyball game, tennis or miniature golf. Stop by the library and Internet Cafe while the kids enjoy our complimentary youth program that includes art, dancing and games. Shop in our onboard boutiques, or enrich your mind with an Italian lesson. When evening arrives, the night is magical. Inspired entertainment brings standing ovations for our unique brand of exotic theatricality. We offer different shows in our theater each night, such as passionate flamenco dancers from Spain for a touch of the Mediterranean. Your enchanted evening continues with dancing in our disco and live performances throughout the ship, from a classical string quartet to jazz and piano. Or have fun singing along to your favorite Italian songs. And in the European gaming tradition, we invite you to try your luck in our casino. You might want to watch on outdoor movie on a giant LED screen. Then end your evening with a romantic stroll on the pool deck where the stars shine bright.
It is recommended that you bring along lightweight, "resort casual" clothing -- including a swimsuit with cover-up, comfortable rubber-soled sandals or deck shoes with to wear poolside, and walking shoes for shore trips.
