Library
On board each of our ships, we’ve created a library that includes contemporary and classic titles, as well
as books related to specific cruise itineraries. You’ll find subjects on art, history, sport, travel, health and
wellness, natural history and reference materials. We also have a fine selection of fiction and biographies.
Our libraries have a large collection of books. Check your Pacific Daily for library hours and other
information. A selection of board games are also available for use in the library.
Aqua Hut*
Snorkel equipment is available for hire from the Aqua Hut. This can be taken with you ashore and on your
snorkelling shore tour, where equipment is not provided. You will also receive a free hygienically sealed
brand new snorkel, which is yours to keep. If you want to purchase your equipment outright, then there is
also a wide range of Tabata high quality snorkel equipment available for purchase.
In addition, to make your visit and shore tour more enjoyable, there is a wide range of sun products and
essential items for sale. The Aqua Hut is open on both sea and port days, please check the Pacific Daily for
scheduled opening times.

Your Choice Dining
Your Choice Dining means you can enjoy the greater flexibility of dining where
you like, when you like and with whom you choose. With extended evening
dining hours, there are meal options from 5.30pm right through the evening.
Dine with friends at a time convenient for you. Take the kids for an
early dinner and then mum and dad can dine at their leisure later in
the evening.
You can turn up when you like at any of the dining venues or pre-book a time
that suits you in the main dining rooms (subject to availability).
If you require a specific dining time due to a medical reason, please request this at time of booking.
You may be asked to send a medical certificate. While we endeavour to meet all requests, we cannot
guarantee your preferred dining sitting.
Main dining rooms
The main dining rooms offer full service à la carte dining. Come as a couple or a group. We have tables for
four to ten people and some just for two. You can dine together or we’ll match you up with like-minded
people. Just like the finest restaurants ashore, certain times will inevitably be busier than others, but our
friendly dining staff will endeavour to find a time that suits. Our dining reservations hotline is open on
board throughout the cruise to book your dining times each evening.
Chef’s Table*
Chef’s Table is an exciting new dining venue available on Pacific Pearl, offering up to 12 guests an
exclusive dining experience in the ship’s private wine room. The evening begins with cocktails at a special
venue, such as the Oasis at sunset or the Club Lounge, followed by a degustation menu paired with
specially selected wines. The Executive Chef will also make an appearance to introduce the menu.
Buffet
For breakfast and lunch we also offer the popular buffet selections. In the evening the menu will be
similar to the à la carte menu in the main dining room, just self-service.
