Ship particulars

Food
Dining is available at four restuarants onboard the MS Regatta. The aptly named Grand Dining Room displays luxury on a grand scale. The interior is decorated in the same styles as a European, 5-star restaurant. Tables are beautifully set with Versace bone china, sparkling Riedel crystal, gleaming Christofle silver and fine cotton linens. Hand painted frescoes can be found on the domed ceiling. The Toscana restaurant, known for its simplicity and keenly balanced flavors is based on Tuscan cuisine. The Polo Grill remains classic in every sense. The intimate Polo Grill is a steakhouses, with a traditional atmosphere with dark-wood furnishings and high-back leather chairs. Last but not in any means least, we have Waves, a casual Grill, with a shaded corner near the swimming pool. The cooking is done in an open galley so you can wtch the chefs prepare meals from burgers, to seafood.

Excercise

The MS Regatta has a number of machines to assist you inside the fitness centre. The ship also offers a number of fitness sessions with their qualified staff. These range from an 80 minute session on general fitness to specialised sessions on excercise and blood pressure. Some of these classes are free, however, classes including the 1 to 1 sessions with the personal trainers are at an additional cost.

Formal nights

The MS Regatta does not have formal nights as such. There are usually a couple of captains dinners, passengers are expected to dress smart but casual, more in line with a country club feel.

Smoking

Smoking is permitted only in the aft port side of Horizons, and the starboard forward section of the outdoor Pool Deck. All other areas are smoke-free. This includes all cabins and balconies, restaurants, public rooms and open decks except for the two designated smoking areas.
