Who this page is for
You want the evening, not a quiet meal
This sailing bundles dinner, a live show and a DJ with the night skyline — a full evening out rather than a simple sit-down dinner.
Seating tier matters
Silver puts you at standard crew-assigned tables; Gold guarantees a front-row VIP spot near the stage with an elevated menu and drink service.
Pickup may be on your list
Guests at many central European-side hotels can be collected and returned — name your hotel when you book to confirm coverage.
