Description

This third ship in the successful “Grand” class stands out for its galleon style stern that has at the very end a type of wing-like covering with a dance club underneath. The club is reached by a moving walkway that goes through a glass tunnel. The interiors designed by Erasmo Mortola are very elegant and refined.
Pacific Encounter, former Star Princess, has a large number of swimming pools, including an indoor pool, which makes it ideal for sailing in cold weather climates.
