The skylounge is designed for entertainment, cards, games and casual conversation. Two convivial furniture groupings create an intimate setting, perfect for interacting with family and friends. The fully equipped bar makes this an excellent social area for relaxing before dinner with an aperitif, or an after dinner drink. The cozy ambiance is perfect for curling up with a book from the library, listening to music or watching a feature film.

Main Salon

A surround of panoramic windows floods the space with daylight and offers breathtaking views. Comfortable white sofas are positioned around an oversize, marble coffee table at appropriate conversational distance and to enjoy the high-end, Kaleidescape entertainment system.

Dining

Options for dining include the formal dining room amidships with seating at the custom mahogany table. An innovative reversible flip top converts the table for casino-style gaming. The main aft deck offers al fresco dining with cool sea breezes and protective shade. Guests gather on the sun deck for barbecues and to dine al fresco with panoramic views.

Service is simplified with the use of the dumb waiter that accesses the galley. All three dining locations have seating for 12, with two additional tables and seating on the sun deck.
