Why travellers choose the Salacia
The ship

Suites
The Palatial Master Suite is about 65 m², with five panoramic windows and a separate lounge and dining area. Below it are 18 Royal Suites of about 28 m², 9 Stateroom Suites of about 21 m² and 3 single cabins. Each has a minibar, an LCD TV, air-conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi and toiletries.
Life on board
The infinity pool sits on deck, with the Temple Spa and the Lido Health Club below. There are three lounges — the Oasis, the Atrium and a chart room and library — and two places to eat: the Palm Court Restaurant and the Sahara Terrace café.
