	26th26	DecDec	202626	Colón, Panama, embark on the Grandeur of the Seas		16:00
The provincial capital of Colón, beside the canal's Atlantic entrance, is named for the Spanish-language surname of Christopher Columbus, though the Americans called it Aspinwall in the 19th century.. The city was founded in 1850 by Americans working on the Panama railroad and named Aspinwall for one of the railway engineers. Following completion in 1855, Colon gained in importance, which was furthered by the plans for an isthmian canal. During the time of the French canal attempt, a fire in 1885 burned the city nearly to the ground and left thousands of people homeless. Colon was rebuilt in the architectural style then popular in France. Buildings from that era plus the ones constructed by Americans between 1904 and 1914 are still in use today, although the majority is on the verge of collapse. In addition to its importance as a port, Colon boasts the world’s second largest duty-free zone, known as Zona Libre, which is contained in a huge fortress like, walled-off area with giant international stores. However, most of the merchandise is sold in bulk to commercial businesses throughout the country.
	27th27	DecDec	202626	Cartagena, Colombia	09:00	18:00
Cartagena's magnificent city walls and fortresses, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enclose a well-restored historic center (the Cuidad Amurallada, or walled city) with plazas, churches, museums, and shops that have made it a lively coastal vacation spot for South Americans and others. New hotels and restaurants make the walled city a desirable place to stay, and the formerly down-at-the-heels Getsemaní neighborhood attracts those seeking a bohemian buzz. The historic center is a small section of Cartagena; many hotels are in the Bocagrande district, an elongated peninsula where high-rise hotels overlook a long, gray-sand beach.When it was founded in 1533 by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Heredia, Cartagena was the only port on the South American mainland. Gold and silver looted from indigenous peoples passed through here en route to Spain and attracted pirates, including Sir Francis Drake, who in 1586 torched 200 buildings. Cartagena's walls protected the city's riches as well as the New World's most important African slave market.
	28th28	DecDec	202626	At Sea
	29th29	DecDec	202626	Oranjestad, Aruba	08:00	23:00
Aruba's capital is easily explored on foot. Its palm-lined central thoroughfare runs between old and new pastel-painted buildings of typical Dutch design (Spanish influence is also evident in some of the architecture). There are a lot of malls with boutiques and shops—the Renaissance mall carries high-end luxury items and designer fashions. A massive renovation in downtown has given Main Street (a.k.a. Caya G. F. Betico Croes) behind the Renaissance Resort a whole new lease on life: boutique malls, shops, and restaurants have opened next to well-loved family-run businesses. The pedestrian-only walkway and resting areas have unclogged the street, and the new eco-trolley is free and a great way to get around. At this writing, Linear Park was well and will showcase local merchants and artists. There will be activities along a boardwalk that will eventually run all the way to the end of Palm Beach, making it the longest of its kind in the Caribbean.
	30th30	DecDec	202626	Willemstad, Curaçao	08:00	18:00
Dutch settlers came here in the 1630s, about the same time they sailed through the Verazzano Narrows to Manhattan, bringing with them original red-tile roofs, first used on the trade ships as ballast and later incorporated into the architecture of Willemstad. Much of the original colonial structures remain, but this historic city is constantly reinventing itself and the government monument foundation is always busy restoring buildings in one urban neighborhood or another. The salty air causes what is called "wall cancer" which causes the ancient abodes to continually crumble over time. The city is cut in two by Santa Anna Bay. On one side is Punda (the point)—crammed with shops, restaurants, monuments, and markets and a new museum retracing its colorful history. And on the other side is Otrobanda (literally meaning the "other side"), with lots of narrow, winding streets and alleyways (called "steekjes" in Dutch), full of private homes notable for their picturesque gables and Dutch-influenced designs. In recent years the ongoing regeneration of Otrobanda has been apparent, marked by a surge in development of new hotels, restaurants, and shops; the rebirth, concentrated near the waterfront, was spearheaded by the creation of the elaborate Kura Hulanda complex.There are three ways to cross the bay: by car over the Juliana Bridge; by foot over the Queen Emma pontoon bridge (locally called "The Swinging Old Lady"); or by free ferry, which runs when the pontoon bridge is swung open for passing ships. All the major hotels outside town offer free shuttle service to town once or twice daily. Shuttles coming from the Otrobanda side leave you at Riffort. From here it's a short walk north to the foot of the pontoon bridge. Shuttles coming from the Punda side leave you near the main entrance to Ft. Amsterdam.

Chef's Table

AS VIP AND INTIMATE AS CAN BE
Welcome to Chef’s Table, the most exclusive and elevated dining experience on our fleet. Join an intimate group of fellow foodies on a private epicurean journey led by the ship’s Chef de Cuisine. You’ll sit down to a white-tablecloth dinner spotlighting five exquisite courses that range from scallop carpaccio with yuzu vinaigrette, to grilled filet mignon served with truffle potato puree – each expertly paired with the perfect wine to highlight every flavour on the menu.

ATTIRE: Formal

NOTE: Available on select sailings.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS: Start your meal with the scallop carpaccio, served with yuzu vinaigrette and crispy quinoa. Then transition to the smoked tomato soup, sprinkled with garlic focaccia croutons and Parmesan. Seafood lovers rave about the Maine lobster salad, flavoured with pineapple, coriander and vanilla dressing, and the Roasted branzino paired with grilled vegetables and lemon confit. Blending peanut butter ganache, Valrhona chocolate mousse and salted caramel gelato, our signature dessert, 'The world', is the ultimate sweet ending.

PRO TIP: Each dish is paired with a somm-selected glass of premium red or white wine.

Giovanni's Table

EAT MORE ITALIAN
Every meal at Giovanni’s Table is a family-style celebration of rustic Italian flavour. You’ll find all your favourite Old-World classics on the menu here, like house focaccia served with marinated artichokes, olives and pesto, fluffy gnocchi tossed in a thyme-scented sauce of lamb and root vegetables, traditional risotto finished with porcini and truffle mushroom tapenade and veal osso buco paired with creamy cheese polenta, ripe tomatoes and sautéed green beans.

ATTIRE: Smart Casual

HOW TO PURCHASE: Cruise Planner or Onboard

MENU HIGHLIGHTS: First things first – ask for an order of the house focaccia, which comes with marinated artichokes, olives and pesto. And don’t miss the antipasti per due, an appetiser big enough for two that comes heaped with Italian salami, prosciutto, marinated anchovies, grilled artichokes, Cambozola cheese and more. There are plenty of tasty options to choose from if you’re a pasta lover, from parpadelle with pancetta in a rich radicchio cream, to taglierini tossed with cherry tomatoes, calamari, bay scallops and pesto. And if you’re craving a hearty Italian-style main course, try the polpette alla romana — tender veal meatballs in a rich tomato-herb sauce — or the costolette d’agnello alle erbe — grilled lamb chops served in a Merlot reduction with baby vegetable caponata and sautéed spinach.

PRO TIP: Giovanni’s Table is a great restaurant to dial up date night. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, just let the staff know ahead of time. They’ll help make it extra special!

Izumi

THE HOTTEST SUSHI SPOT AT SEA
From delicious sushi rolls to fresh sashimi and nigiri, Izumi serves up an exotic Asian-inspired dining experience. Savour izakaya-style starters and rolls that range from classic to imaginative. Whatever you order, you’re in for a far out, Far East feast filled with incredible flavours from Tohoku to Tokyo.

ATTIRE: Smart Casual

HOW TO PURCHASE: Cruise Planner or Onboard

MENU HIGHLIGHTS: At Izumi Sushi, indulge in a four-course meal that includes one starter, two mains and one dessert. From the starters list, don’t miss the prawn firecracker spring roll, served golden-fried to perfection and stuffed with prawn, crab meat and the perfect balance of sambal chilli with cream cheese. For your main course, if you’re dining with an appetite, get your sushi fix with one of the chef’s signature rolls – foodies love the baked snow crab and salmon dynamite roll, which fuses cool cream cheese and cucumber with spicy mayo, garlic-chilli oil, citrus and a decadent champagne sauce. For dessert, choose between an assortment of creamy, chewy mochi, traditional green tea ice cream, a decadent chocolate lava cake or crispy sesame balls served with red bean and strawberry sauce.

PRO TIP: Dining with little ones? Ask for a kids’ menu. It’s got plenty of smaller-sized versions of Izumi’s sushi, teriyaki and more.

R Bar

SHAKING UP THE CLASSICS
Swanky, sophisticated and suffused with retro style, the R Bar serves up classic cocktails garnished with vintage vibes. Whether your drink of choice is a dry gin Martini, an expertly mixed Old Fashioned, or the perfect gin and tonic, you’ll find plenty to savour here.

AGE RESTRICTION: 21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS: The vintage décor at the R Bar creates the perfect atmosphere to order a classic Old Fashioned or Gimlet, but you should definitely also try one of the signature cocktails on the menu. Those who prefer their drinks on the fruity side will love the Purple Haze, made with Bacardi 8 rum, Blue Curacao and Pernod, and shaken with pineapple juice, passion fruit puree and a splash of grenadine. For a cocktail that doubles as dessert, opt for the aptly-named Red Velvet Cake, a decadent infusion of limoncello, dark chocolate liqueur, crème de cacao white and strawberry puree. If you’re craving something smooth, but strong, there’s the Green Goddess. It’s a potent blend of Belvedere vodka, Hennessy, Blue Curacao and mango puree, topped off with a twist of lemon. And for fans of fizzy drinks, it doesn’t get better than the Let’s Get Fizzical, a refreshingly light combination of passion fruit puree, apple juice and St-Germain elderflower liqueur topped with Prosecco.

PRO TIP: The bartenders here are pros. Let them surprise you with something that’s not on the menu.

Centrum

Enjoy daytime activities, including classes, game shows and more. Visit at night for dazzling entertainment and jaw-dropping aerial spectacles. Even the glass elevators facing into the Centrum feature LED panels down their entire length, providing a backdrop of moving visuals five decks high

Schooner Bar

LIVE MUSIC & MASTERFUL MIXING

Wrap up your night at Schooner Bar, where perfectly mixed cocktails and live entertainment come together in a warmly lit nautical-themed lounge. Cosy up in a seat under the mast, by the portholes or right by the gleaming grand piano. The sing-along's about to begin.

HOW TO PURCHASE: Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION: 21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS: If you love a great Old Fashioned, you’ll find five versions of it on the menu at Schooner Bar, including a tropical twist that blends muddled cherries and pineapple with orange bitters and Malibu coconut rum, and an innovative New Fashioned that brings in pink grapefruit, fresh raspberries and a little bit of Southern Comfort. You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too – plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.

PRO TIP: Up for something different? Let the bartender know what your favourite spirit is, and ask them to whip you up a surprise.

Pool Bars

HYDRATE AT THE POOLSIDE BAR

You don’t have to stray too far from your comfy poolside lounger to enjoy a cool and creamy piña colada, a tropical Mai Tai, a glass of bubbly or your favourite ice cold brew – just pull up a chair at the Pool Bar.

HOW TO PURCHASE: Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION: 21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS: Whether your go-to spirit is vodka, gin, tequila, whisky or rum, you’ll find something delicious to sip on at the Pool Bar. Tequila lovers should definitely try the Royal Citrus Ritatini, made with Avion Silver, Cointreau and fresh lime or the Smokey Rita — a twist on the classic Marg that spotlights Del Maguey Vida Blanco mezcal, triple sec, orange juice and Margarita mix. If you’re more into whiskey or bourbon, opt for a classic Manhattan or a Rob Roy, both blended with just the right amount of sweet vermouth. And if you’re in the mood for something ginny, try the blood orange negroni – elevated with a small splash of blood orange, it’ll transport you straight to the storied bars of Florence, where this classic aperitif was born.

PRO TIP: If you don’t want to leave your lounger, an attendant can bring your order to you from the bar.

Casino Royale

Get a taste of Sin City when at Casino RoyaleSM. No matter what your favourite games are, you’ll find endless ways to join in on all the big action here – like roulette, poker machines and even poker tournaments that let you show off your skills.
