Foodies rejoice! Experience what Australian celebrity chef, Luke Mangan, has to offer at Luke’s Bar & Grill. If you’re permanently poolside, order takeaway pizza from P&O Pizzeria or try Luke’s Burger Bar for a signature burger. Head to the Lobby, located on Deck 5. It is the perfect place to sit and watch the (ship’s) world go by. Choose from three fabulous bars, Lilly's, Charlie's and Avalon Cafe for your favourite drink, a snack, a quick lunch or a cheese platter.

Dine at the Waterfront, Dragon Lady and Angelo’s Restaurants as well as casual dining in our food court, The Pantry. Grab a drink and relax at The Oasis, enjoy a cocktail at Ocean Bar or head to the Blue Room for some live entertainment.
