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

Your Choice Dining<br />
Your Choice Dining means you can enjoy the greater flexibility of dining where<br />
you like, when you like and with whom you choose. With extended evening<br />
dining hours, there are meal options from 5.30pm right through the evening.<br />
Dine with friends at a time convenient for you. Take the kids for an<br />
early dinner and then mum and dad can dine at their leisure later in<br />
the evening.<br />
You can turn up when you like at any of the dining venues or pre-book a time<br />
that suits you in the main dining rooms (subject to availability).<br />
If you require a specific dining time due to a medical reason, please request this at time of booking.<br />
You may be asked to send a medical certificate. While we endeavour to meet all requests, we cannot<br />
guarantee your preferred dining sitting.<br />
Main dining rooms<br />
The main dining rooms offer full service à la carte dining. Come as a couple or a group. We have tables for<br />
four to ten people and some just for two. You can dine together or we’ll match you up with like-minded<br />
people. Just like the finest restaurants ashore, certain times will inevitably be busier than others, but our<br />
friendly dining staff will endeavour to find a time that suits. Our dining reservations hotline is open on<br />
board throughout the cruise to book your dining times each evening.<br />
Chef’s Table*<br />

specially selected wines. The Executive Chef will also make an appearance to introduce the menu.<br />
