Pacific Dream, Pullmantur Cruises' new flagship, went into service in 2009. The 46,811-ton, 1,875-passenger ship previously sailed for Island as the Island Star.

Following a major refurbishment that added a variety of facilities, highlights include the addition of two new bars, Steak House, an alternative restaurant, and two decks that were completely redesigned.

Dining options onboard include five different eateries; there's the Grill, the a la carte Oasis, the 24-hour Beachcomber, the buffet-style Island Restaurant and the Steak House.

Recreationally speaking, there are two pools (one for adults only), a fitness facility and a spa.

And at night, the two-story Ocean Theatre is home to West End-style shows, and visiting guest comedians. The Bounty Club doubles as a cabaret lounge and nightclub at the end of the evening. There are seven bars onboard to choose from including quieter spots like the Captain's Club or noisier ones, like the busy Pub, where live music keeps the pace high.
