THE GRAND PLAZA
What If Your Favorite Italian Piazza Could Travel with You?
Welcome to The Grand Plaza. Located at the heart of the ship, this stunning gathering place has an energy that draws everyone to it morning, noon, and night. When you first enter, the sheer size of it will amaze you. Three decks open up to create an airy space that you might find in a cosmopolitan city—it’s like nothing else at sea.
Inspired by the piazzas of Italy and the invigorating energy of everyone coming together to savor a taste of the good life, the Grand Plaza is home to our incredible specialty restaurants, along with our popular Martini Bar, and Café al Bacio.
Stunning touches like the three-story Chandelier and intricate hand-stitched screens boldly declare that this is the place to see and be seen. The Grand Plaza is a transformational place that offers a different experience every time you visit. From day to night, the lighting changes from warm and inviting to bright and dramatic. Ever-changing entertainment and fashionable kiosks make the atmosphere spontaneous and your surroundings chic.
