Lyon, Provençal Rhône & the Camargue River Cruise - MS Thomas Hardy MS Thomas Hardy 10 Nights

Panorama Bar

The superb panoramic observation lounge and bar; a lounge in every sense of the word, complete with plenty of comfortable leather armchairs and sumptuous sofas where you can sink into warmly colourful cushions in beautiful quality fabrics with a freshly made cup of tea. A thick wool carpet feels lovely underfoot and the tasteful contemporary lighting above creates a welcoming and refined ambience, further complemented by the discreet and intuitive service resplendent of the finest five-star hotels. So just sit back with your favourite cocktail and take in the truly mesmerising view. After a superb dinner in the restaurant perhaps it’s time for a digestif accompanied by the soothing tones of the ship’s pianist.

Boutique

The Boutique can be located on the Diamond Deck.

Excursions

World-renowned destinations

Our expertly crafted tours take you to some of the world's most famous cities, from European favourites - like Paris and Rome - to more exotic locales, like Tokyo and Cusco. Our Tour Managers and local guides will introduce you to the very best of each city. Marvel at the architectural wonder of the Taj Mahal, stroll through the ancient streets of Rome or stand in awe of the Great Wall of China.

But that’s not all. Away from the bright lights of bigger cities, our tours take you through the countryside to smaller towns and villages to witness rural life and meet the locals. From tucked-away medieval farms in France to serene temples in the Japanese wilderness, or vibrant markets in Morocco, each reveals a new facet of local life and provides you with the opportunity to speak to residents.

Authentic experiences

While exploring, our team have hand-picked fantastic experiences to help you delve deeper into the heart of your destination. This could be tucking into a recipe that's been handed down through generations, spotting native animals in their natural habitat or a local cultural performance. We've marvelled at Moroccan women as they make argan oil, been welcomed to New Zealand by the Māori with a performance of song and dance and stepped into the intoxicating world of flamenco in Seville. And there's so much more to discover.

These authentic cultural encounters aren't just memorable; they're transformative, offering a deeper understanding of the places and people you meet.
