About Southampton
Lying near the head of Southampton Water, a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton is Britain’s largest cruise port. It has been one of England’s major ports since the Middle Ages, when it exported wool and hides from the hinterland and imported wine from Bordeaux. The city suffered heavy damage during World War Two and as a result the centre has been extensively rebuilt, but there are still some interesting medieval buildings including the Bargate, one of the finest city gatehouses in England.
About Falmouth
The bustle of this resort town's fishing harbor, yachting center, and commercial port only adds to its charm. In the 18th century Falmouth was the main mail-boat port for North America, and in Flushing, a village across the inlet, you can see the slate-covered houses built by prosperous mail-boat captains. A ferry service now links the two towns. On Custom House Quay, off Arwenack Street, is the King's Pipe, an oven in which seized contraband was burned.
About Dun Laoghaire
About Cobh
Cork City's nearby harbor district has seen plenty of history. Cork Harbour's draws include Fota Island—with an arboretum, a wildlife park, and the Fota House ancestral estate—and the fishing port of Cobh.
About Belfast
Before English and Scottish settlers arrived in the 1600s, Belfast was a tiny village called Béal Feirste ("sandbank ford") belonging to Ulster's ancient O'Neill clan. With the advent of the Plantation period (when settlers arrived in the 1600s), Sir Arthur Chichester, from Devon in southwestern England, received the city from the English Crown, and his son was made Earl of Donegall. Huguenots fleeing persecution from France settled near here, bringing their valuable linen-work skills. In the 18th century, Belfast underwent a phenomenal expansion—its population doubled every 10 years, despite an ever-present sectarian divide. Although the Anglican gentry despised the Presbyterian artisans—who, in turn, distrusted the native Catholics—Belfast's growth continued at a dizzying speed. The city was a great Victorian success story, an industrial boomtown whose prosperity was built on trade, especially linen and shipbuilding. Famously (or infamously), the Titanic was built here, giving Belfast, for a time, the nickname "Titanic Town." Having laid the foundation stone of the city's university in 1845, Queen Victoria returned to Belfast in 1849 (she is recalled in the names of buildings, streets, bars, monuments, and other places around the city), and in the same year, the university opened under the name Queen's College. Nearly 40 years later, in 1888, Victoria granted Belfast its city charter. Today its population is nearly 300,000, tourist numbers have increased, and this dramatically transformed city is enjoying an unparalleled renaissance.This is all a welcome change from the period when news about Belfast meant reports about "the Troubles." Since the 1994 ceasefire, Northern Ireland's capital city has benefited from major hotel investment, gentrified quaysides (or strands), a sophisticated new performing arts center, and major initiatives to boost tourism. Although the 1996 bombing of offices at Canary Wharf in London disrupted the 1994 peace agreement, the ceasefire was officially reestablished on July 20, 1997, and this embattled city began its quest for a newfound identity.Since 2008, the city has restored all its major public buildings such as museums, churches, theaters, City Hall, Ulster Hall—and even the glorious Crown Bar—spending millions of pounds on its built heritage. A gaol that at the height of the Troubles held some of the most notorious murderers involved in paramilitary violence is now a major visitor attraction.Belfast's city center is made up of three roughly contiguous areas that are easy to navigate on foot. From the south end to the north, it's about an hour's leisurely walk.
About Greenock
Trendy stores, a booming cultural life, fascinating architecture, and stylish restaurants reinforce Glasgow's claim to being Scotland's most exciting city. After decades of decline, it has experienced an urban renaissance uniquely its own. The city’s grand architecture reflects a prosperous past built on trade and shipbuilding. Today buildings by Charles Rennie Mackintosh hold pride of place along with the Zaha Hadid–designed Riverside Museum.Glasgow (the "dear green place," as it was known) was founded some 1,500 years ago. Legend has it that the king of Strathclyde, irate about his wife's infidelity, had a ring he had given her thrown into the river Clyde. (Apparently she had passed it on to an admirer.) When the king demanded to know where the ring had gone, the distraught queen asked the advice of her confessor, St. Mungo. He suggested fishing for it—and the first salmon to emerge had the ring in its mouth. The moment is commemorated on the city's coat of arms.The medieval city expanded when it was given a royal license to trade; the current High Street was the main thoroughfare at the time. The vast profits from American cotton and tobacco built the grand mansions of the Merchant City in the 18th century. In the 19th century the river Clyde became the center of a vibrant shipbuilding industry, fed by the city’s iron and steel works. The city grew again, but its internal divisions grew at the same time. The West End harbored the elegant homes of the newly rich shipyard owners. Down by the river, areas like the infamous Gorbals, with its crowded slums, sheltered the laborers who built the ships. They came from the Highlands, expelled to make way for sheep, or from Ireland, where the potato famines drove thousands from their homes.During the 19th century the population grew from 80,000 to more than a million. And the new prosperity gave Glasgow its grand neoclassical buildings, such as those built by Alexander "Greek" Thomson, as well as the adventurous visionary buildings designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and others who produced Glasgow’s Arts and Crafts movement. The City Chambers, built in 1888, are a proud statement in marble and gold sandstone, a clear symbol of the wealthy and powerful Victorian industrialists' hopes for the future.The decline of shipbuilding and the closure of the factories led to much speculation as to what direction the city would take now. The curious thing is that, at least in part, the past gave the city a new lease of life. It was as if people looked at their city and saw Glasgow’s beauty for the first time: its extraordinarily rich architectural heritage, its leafy parks, its artistic heritage, and its complex social history. Today Glasgow is a vibrant cultural center and a commercial hub, as well as a launching pad from which to explore the rest of Scotland, which, as it turns out, is not so far away. In fact, it takes only 40 minutes to reach Loch Lomond, where the other Scotland begins.
About Tórshavn
About Akureyri
Akureyri, called the Capital of the North is the second largest urban area in Iceland, and a lively one at that. Hemmed by the 60-km (37-mile) long Eyjafjörður, Akureyri is sheltered from the ocean winds and embraced by mountains on three sides. Late 19th-century wooden houses impart a sense of history, and the twin spires of a modern Lutheran church rising on a green hill near the waterfront, provide a focal point. To the south of Akureyri is the pyramid-shape rhyolite mountain Súlur. Beyond it is Kerling, the highest peak in Eyjafjörður District.
About Isafjørdur
Two colossal terraces of sheer rock stand either side of this extraordinarily located town - which rides a jutting spit onto an immensity of black fjord water. Surprisingly, considering the remoteness of its location and its compact size, Isafjordur is a modern and lively place to visit, offering a great choice of cafes and delicious restaurants – which are well stocked to impress visitors. The town is a perfectly located base for adventures amongst Iceland's fantastic wilderness - with skiing, hiking and water-sports popular pursuits among visitors.
About Reykjavík
Sprawling Reykjavík, the nation's nerve center and government seat, is home to half the island's population. On a bay overlooked by proud Mt. Esja (pronounced eh-shyuh), with its ever-changing hues, Reykjavík presents a colorful sight, its concrete houses painted in light colors and topped by vibrant red, blue, and green roofs. In contrast to the almost treeless countryside, Reykjavík has many tall, native birches, rowans, and willows, as well as imported aspen, pines, and spruces.Reykjavík's name comes from the Icelandic words for smoke, reykur, and bay, vík. In AD 874, Norseman Ingólfur Arnarson saw Iceland rising out of the misty sea and came ashore at a bay eerily shrouded with plumes of steam from nearby hot springs. Today most of the houses in Reykjavík are heated by near-boiling water from the hot springs. Natural heating avoids air pollution; there's no smoke around. You may notice, however, that the hot water brings a slight sulfur smell to the bathroom.Prices are easily on a par with other major European cities. A practical option is to purchase a Reykjavík City Card at the Tourist Information Center or at the Reykjavík Youth Hostel. This card permits unlimited bus usage and admission to any of the city's seven pools, the Family Park and Zoo, and city museums. The cards are valid for one (ISK 3,300), two (ISK 4,400), or three days (ISK 4,900), and they pay for themselves after three or four uses a day. Even lacking the City Card, paying admission (ISK 500, or ISK 250 for seniors and people with disabilities) to one of the city art museums (Hafnarhús, Kjarvalsstaðir, or Ásmundarsafn) gets you free same-day admission to the other two.
About Halifax, Nova Scotia
Surrounded by natural treasures and glorious seascapes, Halifax is an attractive and vibrant hub with noteworthy historic and modern architecture, great dining and shopping, and a lively nightlife and festival scene. The old city manages to feel both hip and historic. Previous generations had the foresight to preserve the cultural and architectural integrity of the city, yet students from five local universities keep it lively and current. It's a perfect starting point to any tour of the Atlantic provinces, but even if you don't venture beyond its boundaries, you will get a real taste of the region.It was Halifax’s natural harbor—the second largest in the world after Sydney, Australia’s—that first drew the British here in 1749, and today most major sites are conveniently located either along it or on the Citadel-crowned hill overlooking it. That’s good news for visitors because this city actually covers quite a bit of ground.Since amalgamating with Dartmouth (directly across the harbor) and several suburbs in 1996, Halifax has been absorbed into the Halifax Regional Municipality, and the HRM, as it is known, has around 415,000 residents. That may not sound like a lot by U.S. standards, but it makes Nova Scotia’s capital the most significant Canadian urban center east of Montréal.There's easy access to the water, and despite being the focal point of a busy commercial port, Halifax Harbour doubles as a playground, with one of the world's longest downtown boardwalks. It's a place where container ships, commuter ferries, cruise ships, and tour boats compete for space, and where workaday tugs and fishing vessels tie up beside glitzy yachts. Like Halifax as a whole, the harbor represents a blend of the traditional and the contemporary.
About New York, New York
From Wall Street's skyscrapers to the neon of Times Square to Central Park's leafy paths, New York City pulses with an irrepressible energy. History meets hipness in this global center of entertainment, fashion, media, and finance. World-class museums like MoMA and unforgettable icons like the Statue of Liberty beckon, but discovering the subtler strains of New York's vast ambition is equally rewarding: ethnic enclaves and shops, historic streets of dignified brownstones, and trendy bars and eateries all add to the urban buzz.
About Charleston, South Carolina
Wandering through the city's famous Historic District, you would swear it is a movie set. Dozens of church steeples punctuate the low skyline, and horse-drawn carriages pass centuries-old mansions and town houses, their stately salons offering a crystal-laden and parquet-floored version of Southern comfort. Outside, magnolia-filled gardens overflow with carefully tended heirloom plants. At first glance, the city may resemble a 19th-century etching come to life—but look closer and you'll see that block after block of old structures have been restored. Happily, after three centuries of wars, epidemics, fires, and hurricanes, Charleston has prevailed and is now one of the South's best-preserved cities.Although it’s home to Fort Sumter, where the bloodiest war in the nation's history began, Charleston is also famed for its elegant houses. These handsome mansions are showcases for the "Charleston style," a distinctive look that is reminiscent of the West Indies, and for good reason. Before coming to the Carolinas in the late 17th century, many early British colonists first settled on Barbados and other Caribbean islands. In that warm and humid climate they built homes with high ceilings and rooms opening onto broad "piazzas" (porches) at each level to catch sea breezes. As a result, to quote the words of the Duc de La Rochefoucauld, who visited in 1796, "One does not boast in Charleston of having the most beautiful house, but the coolest."Preserved through the hard times that followed the Civil War and an array of natural disasters, many of Charleston's earliest public and private buildings still stand. Thanks to a rigorous preservation movement and strict architectural guidelines, the city's new structures blend in with the old. In many cases, recycling is the name of the game—antique handmade bricks literally lay the foundation for new homes. But although locals do dwell—on certain literal levels—in the past, the city is very much a town of today.Take, for instance, the internationally heralded Spoleto Festival USA. For 17 days every spring, arts patrons from around the world come to enjoy international concerts, dance performances, operas, and plays at various venues citywide. Day in and day out, diners can feast at upscale restaurants, shoppers can look for museum-quality paintings and antiques, and lovers of the outdoors can explore Charleston's outlying beaches, parks, and waterways. But as cosmopolitan as the city has become, it's still the South, and just beyond the city limits are farm stands cooking up boiled peanuts, the state's official snack.

Perhaps the evening begins with the octopus carpaccio with Champagne vinaigrette or the artichoke and parmesan cheese timbale with black truffle sauce, followed by classic dishes such as the hand-rolled gnocchi with pesto, a rich risotto with lobster medallions and shallots, or a pan-seared sea bass filet finished with Sorrento lemon, chardonnay and capers.

Red Ginger
Red Ginger radiates harmony and tranquility while evoking the boldness and subtleties of the extraordinary Pan-Asian dishes our talented chefs have created. Much like the room itself, the Thai, Korean, Japanese and Malaysian rooted specialties are a mélange of spicy and soothing, savory and sweet to please virtually every palate. Begin with a Spicy Duck & Watermelon Salad with cashews, mint and Thai basil. Savor Chicken Shio Ramen Noodles with tofu, shiitake mushroom and bok choy or opt for a Seven Spices Crusted Lamb Rack with fresh wasabi lamb jus. To complement the bold and multifaceted flavors of the Pan-Asian dishes here, the cocktail and beverage menu includes a premium sake selection, Asian beers and Asian-inspired cocktails that call on spices such as lemongrass, ginger and turmeric as well as exotic fruits such as lychees. In Red Ginger, the gustatory pleasures are as striking as the visual ones.

Priveé
Privée is our intimate venue for unforgettable wine experiences by La Reserve. Guests can choose from two distinctive and unique multi-course pairing dinners, each a sublime celebration of the finer things in life and limited to eight privileged diners per evening. Savor the truly one-of-a-kind Dom Pérignon Experience that pairs special Champagne vintages with thoughtfully crafted dishes or perhaps enjoy the exquisitely curated Odyssey Menu that is a gustatory journey for the senses. Dramatically backlit, debossed walls and a blooming flower petal ceiling, from which a dramatic chandelier descends over the polished marble slab dining table, only enhance the indulgent occasion. A wall of floor-to-ceiling glass provides an exhilarating view to complement these magnificent dining experiences that can literally traverse continents.
Terrace Café
Surrounded by intricate wooden screens, vibrant floor lamps and supple upholstered chairs, you can be forgiven for thinking you’ve stepped into a raffish Singaporean hotel from the last century. Red Ginger is a Pan-Asian wonder, where a blend of Thai, Korean, Japanese and other Asian specialties effortlessly combines tradition and innovation. Uncover the ritual of hand-rolled sushi introduced in the Edo period; the succulent, the curried spice of Malaysian beef penang and the layered flavors of miso-glazed sea bass wrapped in a hoba leaf.

Waves Grill
On the deck of a cherished Malibu beach house, the magic begins with the grill. Likewise, Waves Grill is a shaded poolside dining spot serving made-to-order all-American favorites from lunch until late into the afternoon. Taste the richness of a Wagyu burger with juicy tomatoes and a savory black truffle sauce. The seasoned fries are irresistible while the light crunch of fresh coleslaw is the perfect complement to the herb-marinated mahi mahi. For dessert, try a thick hand-dipped milkshake or one of the new, whimsical ice cream flavors by Humphry Slocombe such as the mouthwatering Secret Breakfast pairing of bourbon and cornflake cookies.
Raw Juice & Smoothie Bar
The only cold-pressed Raw Juice & Smoothie Bar at sea serves up tasty raw juices, plant-based smoothies and energy bowls at Waves Grill during breakfast on board Vista.
The Pizzeria at Waves Grill
Each evening as if by culinary alchemy, Waves Grill is transformed into an authentic Neapolitan trattoria with the pizza oven at the epicenter. Imagine you are in Capri overlooking the twinkling lights of Naples, as the alluring aroma of fresh pizza dough baking in a classic wood-fired forno wafts among the bougainvillea. Set the tone with a glass of dry chianti, then savor sweet and spicy dry-rubbed chicken wings, tender pork ribs or rosemary focaccia with lush burrata, plump tomatoes, peppery arugula and bold balsamic dressing. Pizza creations feature delectable toppings ranging from flora black olives and oaky truffles to fiery chorizo and tart lemon chicken. No matter your selection, your palate will heartily approve.
Afternoon Tea
Teatime is a celebratory daily event at four o’clock. As a classical string quartet plays softly, our staff presents bountiful four-tiered pastry carts filled with freshly made finger sandwiches, petits fours, scones and sinful desserts. Of course, a selection of traditional and artisanal teas is the centerpiece of this splendid afternoon pastime.
Daily at 4pm. No reservations required.
Baristas
Combine the stylish flair of a Viennese coffee house with the warm smiles of your neighborhood café, then add 270-degree shimmering sea views and you have Baristas, a relaxed haven for coffee and fresh pastry afficionados. Sip complimentary illy® delights, enjoying the energizing kick of an espresso or the smooth richness of a cappuccino. Accompany the perfect cup with a buttery dark chocolate croissant or the sublime citrus hints of an orange biscotti. Whether you are drawn to a bold macchiato or a subtle iced latte, you will be captivated by the atmosphere of friendship and family that suffuses Baristas.
The Bakery
The enticing aroma of freshly baked pastries will draw guests from Baristas to Allura’s new Bakery just steps away. The perfect complement to your coffee might just be a French or Italian specialty fresh from the oven. Perhaps you’ll sample a flaky, ricotta-filled sfogliatella, a confection that hails from the Italian region of Campania. If you prefer a French patisserie, you might select a decadent chocolate and almond croissant. Whatever your choice, you cannot go wrong when indulging in a delicacy created by our skilled pastry chefs.

After a day of enriching adventures ashore or an enjoyable day on board, dining in the privacy of your suite or stateroom with our compliments is always a welcome possibility.

Bakery
The new Bakery, with its freshly baked French and Italian pastries, is certain to be an instant hit.

As you explore the world, these bars and lounges are the place to unwind, gather together, laugh and take in one-of-a-kind shows and musical performances.
Martini's
The lounge known as Martinis is far more than a place to sip a signature cocktail — although its namesake libation alone is reason enough to spend some time here. In fact, Martinis is refreshing its namesake cocktail with fresh new spirits selection, Mermaid gin and vodka. The bar is a glamorous destination that welcomes you to a warm, inviting setting amidst walls of shimmering glass under a canopy of crystal. You’ll also be able to choose from a tantalizing new collection of drinks called Hollywood Martinis, in addition to the already popular selection shaken tableside. The Hollywood collection includes a variety of drinks inspired by the Old Hollywood, such as Bardot Martini, The Corleone Martini, Sir Connery Martini, Blue Eyes Sinatra and Monroe Martini. Simply gather with friends in your favorite alcove and let the memories be made.
Grand Lounge
Vista’s provocative Grand Lounge plays with shape and form to create visual elements that are striking even as they are understated. The color palette is an ode to metals and minerals with shades of bronze, onyx and alabaster lending both balance and interest. The resulting space evokes exclusivity — the feel of a luxurious private club — inviting guests to relax and enjoy an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap before retiring as they relive the day’s adventures with fellow explorers.

After the sun sets, the Vista Lounge presents a new line-up of entertainment to enthrall the audience, including sophisticated cabarets, world-class musicians, dynamic vocalists and exclusive headliners.
Horizons
The most distinctive feature of aptly named Horizons is the lounge’s dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, offering 180 degrees of stunning vistas that are the ship’s namesake. This space celebrates the journey by providing a unique perspective on the alluring destinations that await ashore and the seas that carry you to what lies ahead. To ensure that you can fully appreciate these sweeping panoramas, Horizons is appointed with comfortable furnishings in soothing tones that create a sense of home, even as the view assures you that you are far from it.
