English is the main language spoken on board. During the day, most guests dress in elegant casual attire, as they would at a 5-star resort, and in accordance with the weather. On trips of up to 7 days, elegant, informal evenings are held throughout. On trips of 8-14 days, there are one or two formal evenings, for which a dark suit with tie or tuxedo or a cocktail or evening dress is recommended. For trips of 15 days or more, there are at least two formal evenings. The age of the guests is mixed, but predominantly 45 and above. There are very few children on board, which contributes to a rather quiet atmosphere.

On board, you will experience culinary masterpieces and the highest quality standards. Indulge yourself in a total of nine restaurants on board.

The following restaurants are included in the price:

• La Terrazza: À la carte restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine (reservation required for dinner)
