On board luxury new-generation cruise aimed at millennials

The 45-minute set is topped off with fireworks.

Weary from busting some moves in the Med, I hobble back to my cabin with its roomy, 20 metresquare, open-plan setting.

The huge double bed and wide-screen telly are tempting after a hot shower, but not enough to entice me away from my all-time favourite cabin feature – the balcony.

Heaving myself back into the hammock, I sway with the motion of the ship under the clear sky peppered with stars.
