Itinerary
This is a place where dreams really do come true. The place where nothing comes between you and your fondest wishes. Where no schedules intrude, where day-to-day annoyances can’t reach you, where every moment of every hour of every day is yours alone. This is your place – at sea under an open sky – the one place in which you truly can get away from it all. Simply step on board and we’ll take it from there. Meals so delicious they might be sinful are served when, where, and any way you choose. Decadent spa treatments. Lazy hours stretched out on deck. Workouts you’ve been meaning to get around to in the state-of-the-art Fitness Center. Uninterrupted time to spend with new friends or in exquisite solitude. One delightful stop in Ponta Delgada, the Azores Islands en route to Lisbon for an outdoor activity or relaxing on the beach. Best of all, this is the place and the time to reconnect – with each other, with yourself, with your dreams.
