Welcome aboard the Island Escape

The friendliest place in the Mediterranean.

From the moment you step on to the Island Escape, you’ll feel right at home. There’s no standing on ceremony here, so it’s ideal if you’re off on your first cruise. No need to dress up for dinner, no traditions to be obeyed – it’s your time to do exactly what you want. It’s all relaxed, informal and very, very friendly.

Perfect for kids of all ages, you are free to cruise how you want. Indulge in the restaurants after your salsa class, interrupt your deck-side lazing with a fruit-carving demonstration by our chefs, or enjoy some quality time with friends with a cool drink in hand by the poolside bar.
In the evenings, your nights will be filled with shows, live music, stand-up comedy, the casino and a choice of six bars.
You won’t find a warmer welcome...
