There is no showlounge, shows or cabaret. However, none are really needed, because a cruise aboard this high-tech sailing ship provides an opportunity to get away from all that noise and “entertainment”. The main lounge (a corner of which is dedicated to a small casino) does have a small dance floor, and music typically provided by a trio. The main lounge is also used for cocktail parties and other social functions. One disturbing trend, however, is use of the lounge for art auctions after dinner. How sad that an otherwise pleasant, casual cruise experience is ruined in this way. Better to retire to your cabin and take in a video, or spend it out on deck taking a stroll or lounging under the stars.
