Island Escape

Thomson Cruises
Island Escape

Island Escape is the most laidback ship in the fleet, taking a more informal approach to life at sea. On the activities front, you can enjoy everything from pampering spa treatments and sports, to salsa classes and fruit carving demonstrations. And at night, it's all about side-splitting stand-up comedy, live bands and cabaret. As for restaurants, there are three to choose from, two of which offer bumper buffet spreads. Add an internet cafe, kids' club and several bars into the mix, and it's no wonder guests keep coming back for more.

Bars

A refreshing pint, or perhaps a nice, quiet cocktail? With six totally different bars, you're sure to find just the spot to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere.

If you want an exotic fruit cocktail or frozen daiquiri then you'll want to visit the Mirage bar.

For peaceful drink away from the sun then make your way to the Lookout where you can chill-out during the day or dance to the early hours at night.

There's the Sailaway bar for a different view each day, or the sophisticated Sundowner lounge where you can listen to the resident pianist.

One of the most popular spots for a lively atmosphere and a pint is the Pub and if you're in the mood for a party there's the Bounty Lounge where there's always something going on each night.

Island Escape

Beachcomber Restaurant

Gymnasium

If you like to unwind by exercising body and mind, there is a bright, well-equipped gym with treadmills, cross trainers, exercise bikes and leg curl station. Trainers are on hand with tips and advice and can even plan a personal fitness programme for you to 'work that body'. If the gym isn't your thing, you can always join the aerobics classes that cater for beginners and experienced alike.

Island Escape

Nightclub

Perched high above the decks the Lookout is a quiet oasis during the day with spectacular 360 degree views. Kicking to life late in the evening the nightclub in the Lookout is the perfect place to dance away the hours or just perch at the bar and people watch.

Island Escape

Pool

Big enough for a quick dip or a splash around the Island Escape's pool is often the centre of attention during days at sea. Surrounded by sunbeds with waiter service from the Mirage Bar it's the favourite spot on the ship for enjoying the sun and getting to know your fellow travellers.

Island Escape

Shops

Below deck there are smart shops to browse around and treat yourself or find gifts to take home. With watches, perfumes and clothing there's bound to be something that takes your eye.

Island Escape

The Island Restaurant

The Island Restaurant, with its exotic 'Spice Market' décor, is at the heart of the ship and serves a mouth-watering variety of food that looks as good as it tastes. You can start the day with a full buffet breakfast and then later on spoil yourself with dishes including stir-frys, seafood platters, hot main meals, salads and delicious desserts. You can dress as you please and help yourself to the buffet in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Island Escape

Theatre

The Ocean Theatre is home to Island Cruises' talented team of performers. Each one week cruise will be treated to a new, spectacular show every night.
During the Mediterranean season you can take in a slice of the West End or sit back and enjoy the sounds of your favourite bands over the years. The programme in Brazil has a distinctly Latin flavour with live music and spectacular floor shows fuelling the party atmosphere.
