1 Magic Carpet: By far my favourite spot for cocktails and breathtaking views, the floating platform provides a full bar, live music, and elevates up to 13 stories above sea level.

2 Eden: With a stylish bar, live music, and panoramic full-length windows, the atmosphere effortlessly balanced sophistication with laid-back vibes.

The venue’s chill ambiance invited guests to read, relax or play games but also offered plenty of Instagram-worthy moments. 

3 Infinite Verandas: My stateroom featured the innovative Infinite Veranda. With just a button press, my living space transformed, extending right up to the ocean’s edge. 

4 The Retreat: I had the opportunity to explore the exclusive area reserved for Suite Guests, which offered a private lounge, pool, sundeck, dedicated butler service, and top-tier amenities. 

5 New Zealand Sounds: Our voyage through Milford, Dusky, and Doubtful Sounds was a pinch me moment, we were lucky to have clear weather that revealed hidden waterfalls and snow-capped peaks.(The Retreat had the best seats in the house!)

6 Le Petit Chef: This specialty dining was such a unique and immersive experience. The table turned into a stage for this tiny, animated chef who magically “prepared” my meal right in front of me. 

7 Martini Bar: Home to talented mixologists, this venue was high-energy and had plenty of creative martini performances throughout the night. It’s a must-visit spot for cocktail enthusiasts.

8 Onboard Activities: For those who love staying active, there was plenty to do! I personally couldn’t get enough of the daily aqua aerobics in the pool with Christoph.

With Latin dancing and Zumba classes on offer, there was always something exciting to jump into.
