Lido Deck

Riviera Pool & Bar

This pool resembles the original first class pool on Canberra, being terraced, ideal for all those sun bakers. Forward of the pool is the bar, the band stand (Port) and one Jacuzzi.

Lotus Spa & Gym

The Lotus Spa, Beauty Salon and Gym is located amidships on Lido deck and down on Arcadia Deck. To access the upper level there is a spiral staircase. Both levels are also accessible by lift. Personally I found the Lotus Spa on Oriana to be far superior, being located forward of Lido Deck. On Oriana there were two large indoor Jacuzzis and its sauna and steam room facilities were far superior. The gym as is on most ships today is excellent.

Sidewalk Café

A great little lunchtime eatery, famed for its fish and chips, hamburgers and hotdogs

Crystal Pool & Bar

Forward of the pool is the bar (starboard side) as well as two Jacuzzis.

Orangery Buffet

This room is bright colourful and extremely well designed for casual dinning. Even the author dinned here on occasions, and that is saying something, as I find most shipboard Buffets like cheap cafeterias.

Pennant Bar

Overlooking the stern and the terraces down to the Terrace pool, this is one of the most popular bars out on deck

However, if you are interested in a cruise, I am happy to refer you to a dedicated cruise agent in Australia, New Zealand or further afield on my recommended “cruise agents” page, for these are agents that specialise in cruising and they will be able offer excellent service you and the best fares available! Be assured, I do NOT receive any commissions or favours from these agents, and in the vast majority of cases these agents will not even be aware of my, or mu site’s involvement, as I provide the enquirer with the requested information of the agents (in their region) including their contact details.
