Discover the best cultural getaways for getting up close and personal with new shores.
There’s a great big world out there full of new places to explore, and Vision of the Seas is the perfect ship to see it from. Wherever you wander, it’s full of ways to make memories in between onshore adventures – like West End-style shows, dining that always hits the spot and activities that make every moment onboard wow-worthy.
Vision of the Seas® brims with family-friendly activities, but if you’re craving a little grown-up time, head to the Solarium. This tranquil adults-only oasis is home to a pool, bubbling whirlpools, a full-service bar and plenty of space to unwind in the sun or shade.
If you’re up for the challenge, panoramic views await you at the top of the 12-metre high Rock Climbing Wall. You don’t need to be a pro to take your adventure vertical – just harness up, get ready to flex your muscles and enjoy the climb.
This ship shakes up every night with dazzling original productions that range from toe-tapping musicals and disco-driven performances to live bands and late nights on the dance floor.
You’ll find expertly rolled sushi, fresh nigiri and sashimi, izakaya-style starters and savoury meats cooked on ishiyaki grilling stones at Izumi. Go for the four-course tasting menu or order à la carte – everything that comes out of the kitchen here is a win.
For authentic Tuscan-inspired eats, head to Giovanni’sSM Table. Start with the house focaccia and marinated artichokes, then go for a savoury veal osso buco or a traditional creamy risotto. Just make sure you save room for a serving (or several) of tiramisu.
This fleet-favourite offers the quintessential steakhouse experience – at sea. Dial up dinner with succulent seafood dishes or tender prime steaks paired with family-style sides that are every bit as delicious as the main courses they accompany. Cap it all off with some New York-style cheesecake.

Start the day with a feel-good climb and awe-inspiring views from the top of the Rock Climbing Wall. Then take your pick of loungers and soak up the sun poolside – Vision of the Seas® has eight different options for taking a dip. Visit the Pool Bar between adventures or ask a crew member to bring over your go-to holiday sip.
The fun doesn’t stop once the sun goes down. Hit Schooner Bar or R Bar for classic cocktails, or pick a side and cheer on your fellow adventurers in an interactive, laugh-inducing game show. You can also settle in for a film under the stars on the top deck or catch a spellbinding performance at the Royal Theatre.
