During March 2017, Rod will spend 9 nights aboard the world's newest and largest proper ocean liner as she sails between Adelaide and Sydney via Melbourne and Kangaroo Island.

There will be plenty of time to explore the new "remastered" features introduced mid-2016 as well as venues such as The Verandah, Carinthia Lounge, Kings Court and Commodore Club.
