Dreamscapes Travel & Lifestyle

SPRING/SUMMER 2024 DREAMSCAPES 17 Suites and higher enjoy butler service, adding to that yacht-life vibe. Plus, with a crew-to- guest ratio of nearly one-to-one, the attentive staff can help support everything from ship (unpack, pack, valet laundry) to shore (assist with disembarkation and organize excursions). Cruise Control / Sea Legs Along with living in a floating luxury five-star hotel, waking up in a new time zone with a new view is a perennial favourite for cruisers. Another perk: You can add an extra stayover at a favourite destination. The Immersive Overnight option allows for single or mul- tiple-night stays in some of the world's greatest cities, giving you the best of both worlds. Take a tour of Venice from the com- fort of a private motor launch; tour the walled old city of Dubrovnik; enjoy a private piano concert and lunch in the Eternal City; enjoy belly dancing and dine on traditional Turkish dishes in Ephesus. Watering Hole Enjoy breakfast alfresco on the shaded, open- air deck where you can plan your day. From casual to fine dining that spans various cuisines, your biggest dilemma will be where to dine. Book a cosy corner table with plush leather wingback chairs at Prime 7 Steakhouse and order the dry- aged steak or the Maine lobster. For a plant-based meal, choose from over 200 gourmet options like falafel fritters with harissa mayo or zucchini ribbon bowls. At cocktail hour, your go-to bar- tender can prepare your French 75 to your liking—extra tart, less sweet. For dinner, order fine wine and premium spirits without wor- rying you'll get dinged. Of course, round-the-clock room service is available anytime. Looking to per- fect that butter-sage gnocchi from lunch? Grab an apron and head to the Culinary Arts Kitchen for a hands-on lesson at the state-of- the-art teaching kitchen.
