| | | Onboard the Boudicca | 
| Welcome to the BoudiccaBoudicca was the heroic warrior queen of the British Iceni tribe. And we like to think our truly British, world class cruise ship lives up to the name. Up to 800 people can enjoy a cruise on board Boudicca – not the thousands to be found on most ships these days – so there’s plenty of space for everyone. And our cruise ship is small enough to reach shores many rival cruise ships cannot. | Fine Dining The Four Seasons is the largest of the restaurants, tastefully decorated in muted browns, and hung with striking paintings of the seasons. Ideal for enjoying a gourmet meal freshly prepared by our award winning chefs. Or why not try something different at the Secret Garden Cafe; this oriental looking restaurant is self-service, but the standard is as good as in the main restaurants. This is less formal if you wish to just pop along whenever you feel hungry, rather than waiting for the set dining times.
| EntertainmentOur bar staff in the Contemporary Lido Lounge are always on hand to serve a whole array of exotic cocktails, beers, spirits or something non-alcoholic. The perfect reward after a hard day sightseeing or shopping at the Christmas markets! The Neptune Lounge is the place to head after enjoying your evening meal. With shows, reviews and evenings of cabaret guaranteed to have you shouting encore. |
