Itinerary

New York, New York

From Wall Street's skyscrapers to the neon of Times Square to Central Park's leafy paths, New York City pulses with an irrepressible energy. History meets hipness in this global center of entertainment, fashion, media, and finance. World-class museums like MoMA and unforgettable icons like the Statue of Liberty beckon, but discovering the subtler strains of New York's vast ambition is equally rewarding: ethnic enclaves and shops, historic streets of dignified brownstones, and trendy bars and eateries all add to the urban buzz.

Boston, Massachusetts

There’s history and culture around every bend in Boston—skyscrapers nestle next to historic hotels while modern marketplaces line the antique cobblestone streets. But to Bostonians, living in a city that blends yesterday and today is just another day in beloved Beantown.

Eastport, Maine

Saint-John, New Brunswick

Like any seaport worth its salt, Saint John is a welcoming place but, more than that, it is fast transforming into a sophisticated urban destination worthy of the increasing number of cruise ships that dock at its revitalized waterfront. Such is the demand that a second cruise terminal opened in 2012, just two years after the first one, and 2013 will see the two-millionth cruise passenger disembark. All the comings and goings over the centuries have exposed Saint Johners to a wide variety of cultures and ideas, creating a characterful Maritime city with a vibrant artistic community. Visitors will discover rich and diverse cultural products in its urban core, including a plethora of art galleries and antiques shops in uptown.Industry and salt air have combined to give parts of Saint John a weather-beaten quality, but you'll also find lovingly restored 19th-century wooden and redbrick homes as well as modern office buildings, hotels, and shops.The natives welcomed the French explorers Samuel de Champlain and Sieur de Monts when they landed here on St. John the Baptist Day in 1604. Then, nearly two centuries later, in May 1783, 3,000 British Loyalists fleeing the aftermath of the American Revolutionary War poured off a fleet of ships to make a home amid the rocks and forests. Two years later the city of Saint John became the first in Canada to be incorporated.Although most of the Loyalists were English, there were some Irish among them. After the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, thousands more Irish workers found their way to Saint John. It was the Irish potato famine of 1845 to 1852, though, that spawned the largest influx of Irish immigrants, and today a 20-foot Celtic cross on Partridge Island at the entrance to St. John Harbour stands as a reminder of the hardships and suffering they endured. Their descendants make Saint John Canada's most Irish city, a fact that's celebrated in grand style each March with a weeklong St. Patrick's celebration.The St. John River, its Reversing Rapids, and Saint John Harbour divide the city into eastern and western districts. The historic downtown area (locally known as "uptown") is on the east side, where an ambitious urban-renewal program started in the early 1980s has transformed the downtown waterfront. Older properties have been converted into trendy restaurants and shops, while glittering new apartment and condo buildings will take full advantage of the spectacular view across the bay. Harbour Passage, a redbrick walking and cycling path with benches and lots of interpretive information, begins downtown at Market Square and winds along the waterfront all the way to the Reversing Rapids. A shuttle boat between Market Square and the falls means you have to walk only one way. On the lower west side, painted-wood homes with flat roofs—characteristic of Atlantic Canadian seaports—slope to the harbor. Industrial activity is prominent on the west side, which has stately older homes on huge lots.Regardless of the weather, Saint John is a delightful city to explore, as so many of its key downtown attractions are linked by enclosed overhead pedways known as the "Inside Connection."

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Surrounded by natural treasures and glorious seascapes, Halifax is an attractive and vibrant hub with noteworthy historic and modern architecture, great dining and shopping, and a lively nightlife and festival scene. The old city manages to feel both hip and historic. Previous generations had the foresight to preserve the cultural and architectural integrity of the city, yet students from five local universities keep it lively and current. It's a perfect starting point to any tour of the Atlantic provinces, but even if you don't venture beyond its boundaries, you will get a real taste of the region.It was Halifax’s natural harbor—the second largest in the world after Sydney, Australia’s—that first drew the British here in 1749, and today most major sites are conveniently located either along it or on the Citadel-crowned hill overlooking it. That’s good news for visitors because this city actually covers quite a bit of ground.Since amalgamating with Dartmouth (directly across the harbor) and several suburbs in 1996, Halifax has been absorbed into the Halifax Regional Municipality, and the HRM, as it is known, has around 415,000 residents. That may not sound like a lot by U.S. standards, but it makes Nova Scotia’s capital the most significant Canadian urban center east of Montréal.There's easy access to the water, and despite being the focal point of a busy commercial port, Halifax Harbour doubles as a playground, with one of the world's longest downtown boardwalks. It's a place where container ships, commuter ferries, cruise ships, and tour boats compete for space, and where workaday tugs and fishing vessels tie up beside glitzy yachts. Like Halifax as a whole, the harbor represents a blend of the traditional and the contemporary.

Quebec City, Québec

Québec City's alluring setting atop Cape Diamond (Cap Diamant) evokes a past of high adventure, military history, and exploration. This French-speaking capital city is the only walled city north of Mexico. Visitors come for the delicious and inventive cuisine, the remarkable historical continuity, and to share in the seasonal exuberance of the largest Francophone population outside France.The historic heart of this community is the Old City (Vieux-Québec), comprising the part of Upper Town (Haute-Ville) surrounded by walls and Lower Town (Basse-Ville), which spreads out at the base of the hill from Place Royale. Many sets of staircases and the popular funicular link the top of the hill with the bottom. Cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and elaborate cathedrals here are charming in all seasons. The Old City earned recognition as an official UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, thanks largely to city planners who managed to update and preserve the 400-year-old buildings and attractions without destroying what made them worth preserving. The most familiar icon of the city, Fairmont Château Frontenac, is set on the highest point in Upper Town, where it holds court over the entire city.Sitting proudly above the confluence of the St. Lawrence and St. Charles rivers, the city's famous military fortification, La Citadelle, built in the early 19th century, remains the largest of its kind in North America. In summer, visitors should try to catch the Changing of the Guard, held every morning at 10 am; you can get much closer to the guards here than at Buckingham Palace in London.Enchanting as it is, the Old City is just a small part of the true Québec City experience. Think outside the walls and explore St-Roch, a downtown hot spot, which has artsy galleries, foodie haunts, and a bustling square. Cruise the Grande-Allée and avenue Cartier to find a livelier part of town dotted with nightclubs and fun eateries. Or while away the hours in St-Jean-Baptiste, a neighborhood with trendy shops and hipster hangouts.

The Casino

Summary

Slot Machines

Nothing’s quite as satisfying as pulling that lever (or pushing that button) and holding your breath.

If your ideal casino day is hopping between slot machines and checking out the different themes, we’ve got you covered. Our casino has 115 slot machines on our gaming floor, with 100+ on the main floor and 11 in the smoking room. We’ve got everything from traditional slots to multi-line and even video poker, with most of our machines being multi-denomination. Slot pros will be impressed by our cutting-edge machines with the latest games, ranging from Dragon Link to Buffalo Gold.

Blackjack, Craps, Poker, & Roulette

Whether you’re rolling the dice, watching the ball bounce, or doubling down on 11, we’ve got it all.

For social butterflies, there’s craps. For more solitary players who’d rather lose themselves in the cards, there’s blackjack. And of course, for the truly competitive who aren’t happy unless they’re wiping beads of sweat from their faces, the table is waiting. Here’s a breakdown of our table games: Blackjack (Perfect Pair side bet), Single Deck Blackjack, Craps (odds are 3,4,5), Three Card Poker (Six Card Bonus side bet), Ultimate Texas Hold’em, and Double Zero & Single Zero Roulette.

Learn to game from the pros

Let our gaming pros show you the tips and tricks of the casino games you’ve always wanted to master.

Approaching a crowded craps table for the first time can be intimidating. Deciding whether to hit or stay in a hand of blackjack can be anxiety-inducing if you’re not a seasoned player. Whether you’re a beginner in the world of gaming or just looking to sharpen your skills, taking a lesson can go a long way toward improving your game. On embarkation day, we offer complimentary gaming lessons on the gaming floor, so you can learn from the pros before hitting the tables yourself.

Grounds Club

Summary Divided into two goal-oriented sections decked with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment, the B-Complex has the very best at the ready so that you can give your best when working out — from a multipurpose fitness studio offering everything from Bungee classes to BARRE, a cycling studio where going for a spin doesn’t cost a thing, bookable personal training, and dramatic views to help you keep going when you feel the burn.

Training Camp

Summary No membership required to HIIT this gym. Equipped with Technogym ARTIS, our Training Camp is where you’ll go for most of our group workout sessions. From indoor functional training sessions and gravity-defying bungee classes to our MyBeast outdoor gym equipment and Geezers Boxing ring, our fitness classes come in all shapes and sizes. And because we don’t believe in the “one size fits all” system, you can also try one of our Fitness On Demand apps at the Training Camp for some alone time.

Aquatic Club

Summary

If your vacation isn't complete without the ultimate form of self-care, our spa will be your second home. Its Thermal Suite includes a mud room, salt room, sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, and heated marble hammam benches — so many ways to reveal a new version of you. From the first quartz bed at sea to massages so good they'll make you question life itself (plus a myriad of rejuvenating treatments that will revitalize your body and soul), we call it Redemption for a reason.

The Tune Up

Dry Dock

Summary

Coif, tease, dye, or curl your way to the mermaid locks of your seafaring dreams. From instant highlights, blowouts, and conditioning treatments to a brow bar, lash services, and full drag-overs, the glam whizzes at Dry Dock are there to enhance your natural beauty and have you looking as good as you feel.

Stubble & Groom

Summary

If your 'do is overdue for a trim, Stubble & Groom is the perfect place to refresh your look and refine your style. From Whisky with your Whiskers and authentic shaves to express haircuts and hip fades, this mid-century-styled haven nods to the British traditions of hanging out at barbershops to look and feel shipshape. Dapper up your 'do, kick your feet up, and put an extra pep in your step with a man-ly pedi at a place that feels like you've been going to for years — but with an ocean view.

Well-Being Pool

Summary

Our large, circular pool is situated conveniently between the Gym & Tonic Bar and our MyBeast upper-body strength bars. So after you've worked up a sweat and properly hydrated, take a dip in the pool and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

The Athletic Club

Summary Designed with the aesthetic of athletic social clubs of the past, The Athletic Club incorporates not just an active Training Camp and boxing classes, but also a full-on basketball court and adult sized seasaws. After Sailors are done sweating it all out or even just hanging out in the sun on the daybed that wraps around the back of the space – they can head to the bar for a healthy juice or craft cocktail from our full-bar. By night, the famous custom red catamaran net is the perfect spot for Sailors to lay out for late-night gazing under the sky.

The Perch

Summary Located at the top of the ship on Deck 17 – right above The Athletic Club – you'll find our charming and serene outdoor space devoted to the pursuit of Vitamin Sea. Every morning starts with sunrise yoga, and when the day draws to a close - The Perch transforms into a space for intimate, social gatherings where you can connect with other Sailors with a sunset backdrop and a glass of champagne.

The Runway

Summary Our signature, Virgin-red running track forms a halo-like vision over the ship allowing you to sweat, strut or stroll. Because for some of us, the only kind of running we do... is from our problems. And don't forget SPF - because our track is outside and the sun, unlike your problems, will catch up with you no matter how fast you run.

Squid Ink

Summary We've teamed up with World Famous Tattoo Ink, Soho Ink and Freshly Inked Magazine to open our very own tattoo studio on board. The historical roots of tattoo art can be traced back to sailors celebrating nautical milestones like a first time crossing the equator, crossing the Atlantic or mementos of epic voyages. Inspired by that beauty and tradition, we celebrate creative self-expression, tales of adventure and unforgettable life experiences.

Gym & Tonic

Summary After working up a sweat at B-Complex, relax with a wellness beverage at Gym & Tonic. A juice bar with numerous wellness offerings - including a full bar - Gym & Tonic has a myriad of drinks to help you wind down after giving your all...or some of your all. From made-to-order shakes and fresh or cold press juices to our Reset Cocktails that are healthy in spirit (while putting the spirit in healthy), there's no wrong way to thank yourself for taking care of your mind, body and soul.
