Introducing the impressive Vasco da Gama
With an enviable reputation and established following, the premium 1220 passenger Vasco da Gama combines beautiful, contemporary decor with a more traditional cruise style. The facilities are impressive and include five lounge bars and four entertainment venues. There are three main restaurants where, unlike our other ships, dining will be flexible and not fixed to specific sittings. In addition, there are buffet style meals at the Club Bistro and two speciality restaurants. Plus, you’ll find a cinema, casino, bridge and card room, arts and crafts area, library, spa and gym. Vasco da Gama offers two swimming pools with the main pool benefiting from a retractable roof so that you can relax whatever the weather.
