Dining
Here, the dining room manager seats you, but where is your decision. There are no pre-assigned tables or first or second seatings. When you dine and with whom are entirely up to you. Seating usually begins at 6:30 p.m. and will be printed in the ship's daily program. Each delightful dish is prepared exactly to your liking – an exquisite dinner served course-by-course with a fine selection of vintage wines.
Step into Basil + Bamboo, where clean lines and warm accents set the stage for a relaxed, refined experience. Savour dishes that fuse Asian influences with a Mediterranean twist — an inventive culinary adventure designed to delight your palate and create moments of shared discovery.
Entertainment
After a long day at port or sea, relax in the lounge and enjoy a drink while being entertained by our onboard band, local performers or our talented crew members.
Each cruise, our crew demonstrates their hidden abilities, whether dancing, singing, magic or comedy. Our team will continue to delight you through the night during the crew talent show, and perhaps you'll find a hidden talent of your own.
We’re the only cruise line welcoming guests on to an Open Bridge, where they can pop in to watch the Captain and crew at work, and learn about chart navigation.
Visit our newly transformed specialty shopping boutique, Star Boutique, rolling out fleet-wide through early 2022. The new shop features quality brand-name and exclusive Star Collection merchandise, from clothing and fragrances to jewelry and accessories, all at duty free or special pricing.
Health & Fitness
New breathtaking pool and whirlpool. Soak it all in with an elevated pool, and expanded deck for sunbathing and relaxing.
