Aurora
The Aurora is a mid-sized, family favourite and a really great choice for a classic cruise holiday. Think fun activities, entertaining evenings, luxurious dining, and the chance to unwind. There’s high-quality entertainment aplenty with regular live music, comedy and shows, cinema screenings, cabaret, and dancing. At Aurora’s heart, you’ll find the incredible atrium. Designed in a classic galleried style, it features a spectacular 35-foot sculpture by artist John Mills.
Dining is a delight due to her varied selection of excellent restaurants, cafés, and bars. Savour a hand-picked wine from award-winning expert Olly Smith at The Glass House or for something more casual, head to The Beach House where astounding ocean views accompany the exquisite menu of grills and seafood.
Those looking to unwind can escape to the well-appointed Oasis Spa, while culture vultures will enjoy the calming ambience of the library and spectacular productions in the theatre.
