Count on traveling in total style
The Symphony and the Serenity are a fine-looking pair. Refined and contemporary layouts maximize in-room comfort, while ample balconies give you space to stretch out and relax. Expect soft, sumptuous textures accented with gold finishings and marble, with splashes of natural colors punctuating a mix of neutral tones.
From fine dining to family-style tapas and extensive restaurant options on board, more than nine restaurants are tailored to your specific tastes and needs. Plan for a night or two of exquisite Japanese-Peruvian fusion at Umi Uma, the only Nobu restaurant at sea created by iconic Chef Nobuyuki (Nobu) Matusuhisa. Or draw comfort from the authentic Italian cuisine in Osteria d’Ovidio. Enjoy the ultimate dining experience in the private Vintage Room, which focuses on wine education and gastronomic adventure.
Right on trend, a series of guest chefs will connect passengers to the destinations on the itinerary, delivering flavors with a cultural reference point, further enhancing the authenticity of the voyage. And for private time, 24-hour in-suite dining is more than indulgent.
