Where better to discover a relaxing mood than aboard Black Prince, a byword for a traditional style of cruising born in a more elegant and unhurried age. Black Prince's classic cruising formula continues to earn her a growing following of both regular and new admirers. Described as a little ship with a big heart and soul', she has the ability to slip into small harbors so often overlooked by larger ships, and combines a fun approach to cruising, whilst upholding the traditions of a bygone, more refined era.

All good things must come to an end. After 43 years of happy cruising memories, the much-loved Black Prince - the longest serving member of our friendly fleet - is taking her leave. To celebrate the "Farewell Season", we have a selection of cruises on offer before she drops anchor for the last time in October 2009.

One thing you'll certainly have no problem in spending aboard Black Prince is - energy! There's an impressive indoor health, fitness and beauty centre (complete with its own pool) - as well as the Lido Deck outdoor pool, Jacuzzis, and extensive deck space offering quoits, chess and other shipboard pastimes. But most original of all is the unique Marina Outdoor Leisure Centre, set on a purpose-built pontoon deck at sea level and from where, when the ship is at anchor and local conditions are favorable you can enjoy speedboats, inflatables, waterskiing, windsurfing, and dinghy sailing.

The conservatory style Balblom Restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy lunch, commanding fabulous views whether you are in your next port of call or out at sea.

One of three restaurants on board Black Prince, the tastefully decorated Fleur de Lys Restaurant is the place where you are assured of a good meal. Here your taste buds will be tantalized by the fantastic and huge choice of dishes freshly prepared by our award winning chefs.

The largest of the three restaurants on board, the elegant Royal Garter Restaurant will serve you a fantastic meal and stunning views from the large picture windows. All you have to do is decide which restaurant in which to enjoy a freshly cooked evening meal from our award winning chefs.

The Aquitaine Lounge is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or a pre-dinner drink, maybe a night cap after a stroll on deck, this lounge is one of the most popular on Black Prince.

Our bar staff in the sumptuous Aquitaine Lounge are always on hand to serve a whole array of exotic cocktails, beers, spirits or something refreshing and non-alcoholic.

The perfect place to enjoy a well earned drink or to get a birds-eye view of the entertainment down in the Neptune Lounge, the Lido Lounge is a popular venue morning, noon and night.

The Neptune Lounge is the place to head after enjoying your evening meal. With shows, reviews and evenings of cabaret guaranteed to have you shouting. The resident band will also have you dancing the night away.

Our arcade is packed with fruit machines. Why not try your luck and you may hit the jackpot!
