In an unusually long, 50-day dry dock, the 490-passenger, all-suite vessel received all-new decor designed to evoke the feel of of an elegant estate home as well as new restaurants and more.
Additions include:
Prime 7. A new restaurant, pictured above, that will serve prime-aged steaks and chops as well as poultry and fresh seafood. The decor features leather seating and burnished wood walls.
La Veranda. An indoor/outdoor casual eatery that replaces Portofino's, the ship's old buffet restaurant. La Veranda features redesigned food stations and will be home to elaborate breakfast and lunch buffets. In the evening diners will select from a menu of regionally themed specialties.
A new Pool Grill on the pool deck featuring hot and cold buffet, panini sandwich station and coffee and dessert area in addition to a state-of-the-art barbecue grill. The Pool Bar, at the other end of the pool deck, also was expanded and enhanced with a new ice cream station, fully equipped with machines for milkshakes and frappes.
Compass Rose, the ship's main dining room, also underwent a major update with new window treatments; carpets; plush cranberry and camel armchairs; and new signature china, silver and glassware.
The line also has revamped the ship's lounges including the Stars Lounge and the Navigator Lounge. And the health club, now called the Canyon Ranch SpaClub, has been completed overhauled into a wellness center with skin-care, massage and thalassotherapy treatment rooms, including a couples' suite (also added was an aerobics studio and new gymnasium).
The Navigator will sail 7 to 11-night cruises to the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America this winter, followed by a summer series of seven-night Alaska cruises between Vancouver and Anchorage. Upon completion of the Alaska season, the ship embarks on a 96-night Grand Asia Pacific cruise.
