Notable Rooms

Atrium

Dominated by John Mill's 35 foot sculpture, Aurora's Atrium is in a classic galleried style and spans four decks. Reminiscent in style of the hugely influential artist René Lalique, the work provides an impressive backdrop to the stylish double main staircase. A veil of water surrounds the two mythical figures cast in resin.

The Crow's Nest

Enjoy a panoramic views of the seas in a relaxing, pre- or post- dinner lounge with live music.

Champions Sports Bar

With a modern look and high-tech feel, the bar is full of memorabilia from great sporting moments. You can watch major sporting events, both live and recorded, on large TV screens, and enjoy a beer and a chat with other sports-minded passengers.

Golf Simulator

On the stern end of Sun Deck, just aft of the golf nets and sports court, you'll find the Golf Simulator. With 30 different courses to choose from, our Entertainment Team will host a variety of tournaments to test your putting and driving skills.

The Playhouse

This fantastic cinema screens feature films and recent releases throughout the day and into the evening. You can watch films that are so new, that they haven't yet reached your local cinema at home.  The venue hosts live talks and other entertainment during the day.
