In contrast, a sea day invites you to slow down. You can sleep in, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, and spend the day exploring the ship’s many amenities—spa treatments, live entertainment, enrichment classes, or simply lounging by the pool with a book. There’s no rush, no schedule to follow but your own. It’s a chance to truly unwind, enjoy the ship as a destination, and reconnect with yourself or your travel companions.
