Meditation, Pilates classes, you can do it all right here in this incredibly inviting space.

Thalassa Main Deck & Bar

The Thalassa Main Deck & Bar is a hotspot on the ship during the day. It’s a great place to get to know your fellow passengers while enjoying a creative cocktail, a glass of wine, or a cold beer. If you just want to unwind, you might sit beneath the shade of the sails allowing the sea breeze to take your cares away. There’s an all-day menu for enjoying alfresco meals here and during the evening the music sets an ideal mood for socializing and chatting about the day’s highlights. Many friendships have started here with passengers often like-minded.

Interior Lounge

When you’re looking for a change of pace or that rare inclement weather should hit, the Interior Lounge is an outstanding alternative for relaxing or mingling. You can make a new friend, enjoy a drink while watching a movie on one of the two 65” TV screens, or learn something new by participating in an educational seminar hosted here.

On Board Dining

Dining is a highlight when on board the Elysium. Expect many varied experiences for your meals, both indoors and out, including the Thalassa Bar for all-day dining.
