Turns out you don’t have to be Superman to
look through walls. Well, at least not if
you’re onboard Royal Caribbean’s Anthem
of the Seas. Thanks to the wonders of tech-
nology and human ingenuity, the ship now
has virtual balconies — high-definition, 80-
inch-tall screens that play live scenery from
outside the ship — in its inside cabins. Also
available in select staterooms on Navigator
of the Seas, this awesome sensory supple-
ment doesn’t end with your eyes. You’ll
even hear the crashing of waves, howling
winds, and the cries of seagulls. So much
for the stigma of an inside cabin!

Continuing its penchant for smaller ships,
Oceania Cruises’ newest addition promises
to be an intimate affair, while still delivering
the luxurious onboard experience the line is
renowned for. Sirena (which means mer-
maid in Spanish) will debut in summer
2016 and carry just 684 passengers, ensur-
ing guests will receive impeccable,
personalized service (along with plenty of
elbow room). Some of the ship’s highlights
include Oceania’s popular restaurants Polo
Grill and Toscana, along with two more
recent additions: Baristas coffee bar and
the made-to-order grill at Terrace Café. The
award-winning Canyon Ranch SpaClub, a
variety of entertainment options, and excit-
ing itineraries featuring new ports of call
round out the offerings.
See new places; learn new things; return
home smarter. That’s the idea behind
Princess Cruises’ new Discovery at Sea
program. Through Princess’ partnership
with Discovery Communications, and popu-
lar networks such as Animal Planet,
Discovery Channel, TLC, and Science
Channel, guests will enjoy a bevy of enter-
taining, and educational, activities. Show
off your knowledge of toothy critters at a
Shark Week trivia challenge. Seek out con-
stellations and listen to star-inspired
folklore during the Discovery Under the
Stars program. There will even be themed
shore excursions, TLC culinary classes, and
MythBusters science experiments.
THINKING CAPS ON SIRENA SETS SAIL
In early 2016, select Disney Cruise Line
sailings will call on two Caribbean islands
that Captain Mickey has never sailed to
before — enchanting Martinique and
alluring Tortola. The French island of
Martinique will be included on seven-night
escapes in January aboard the Disney
Wonder, which will depart from San Juan,
Puerto Rico, and also make stops in
Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, and St. Kitts.
From January through April, the Disney
Fantasy and Disney Magic will make a
series of weeklong sailings out of Port
Canaveral that will take guests to
Castaway Cay, St. Thomas, and the British
Virgin Island of Tortola. Sign us up for both!
