Furthermore, the vessel offers 10 themed restaurants and bistros, 10 bars, numerous sun and pool decks, a wellness and spa centre, a conference centre and a theatre.
The casino blend in with the overall concept of TUI Cruises. In addition to the casino games, a broad range of drinks will be offered, as well as live music and an outdoor smoking area.
In total, three vessels are planned before the end of 2012. TUI Cruises is the new cruise brand for the German-speaking world. It is a joint venture of TUI AG and the US shipping company Royal Caribbean Cruises.
Century Casinos has significant experience in the operation of casinos in the luxury cruise ship segment and currently manages the casinos aboard the Silver Cloud, a six-star cruise ship of Silversea Cruises, as well as the casinos on all vessels of Oceania Cruises.
