This ship combines the grace and elegance of a classic ocean-going liner with the most modern amenities and safety features available today. The Seven Continents Restaurant features a host of classic favorites, along with preparations that reflect the culture of the day's destinations. On a given evening you might find Polynesian fruits, Argentinean steaks or even a dish of New Zealand lamb. The Yacht Club provides diners with a change of pace, and during the day the ship offers casual grill and buffet options at the Lido Buffet. Three lounges and five bars offer an array of evening entertainment, from live music to shows to dancing. Daytime diversions include a Health and Fitness Centre, which houses a well-equipped gym, full-service beauty salon, juice bar and sauna; two pools, one with a retractable roof; and a library that boasts a generous collection of novels and reference books. Guests have the chance to learn about the unique destinations they visit when MV Discovery’s lineup of expert guides and lecturers offer their own special insights into the local cultures and landscapes. Cabins contain two twin beds or one double bed, private bath with shower, television, air conditioning, hairdryer and personal safe.
