Activities
Your days at sea can be as active as you choose.
When you're not out on the Promenade Deck whale watching and
glacier-gasping, you can work out in the gym, unwind in a sauna, enjoy a
massage or a movie at the cinema. Each day you'll meet for informal
pre-shore briefings or post-excursion wrap-ups in the ship's lounge or
theater-style auditorium. Mid-morning bouillon and afternoon tea are served
daily. The gracious, wood-paneled Library with its 4,000+ volumes is one of
the largest at sea.
Dining
You can sit where, when and with whom you please
in the Main Dining Room and in the alternative Verandah. House wines as well
as all bar drinks are included in your fare. As far as the dress code goes,
relax. After a full day exploring, you'll probably want to change your
clothes for dinner. The Captain's Welcome and Farewell Dinners are the only
evenings designated "Informal" instead of "Country Club Casual," where a
coat and tie is suggested. As in all Radisson Seven Seas cruises, gratuities
are included in your fare.
In the gracious Main Dining Room with its panoramic windows, you can select
from imaginative a la carte menus that also include a choice of spa cuisine
and vegetarian offerings.
The Verandah Restaurant serves breakfast and lunch buffets in a casual
environment.

The Lounge is the social heart of the ship, where you can chat with newfound
friends and enjoy informal lectures. Two open bars, the Shackleton and the
South Cape, provide additional corners where you'll probably spend a good
deal of time socializing with fellow guests and mingling with members of the
expedition. The atmosphere is informal and unregimented, with a warm sense
of camaraderie. Liquors, wines and beverages are complimentary on board.
The Bridge stays open 24-hours-a-day. There's a small fitness room with
sauna, a sundeck and pool. And there's also a gift shop for sundries and
souvenirs, a photo lab, a card room, and a dedicated Smoking Room on the
Bridge Deck.
