Restaurant Weltmeere is the main dining room, located at the stern. It serves as the ship’s primary “world-a-la-carte” restaurant, offering an international gourmet menu that changes daily. The cuisine spans a broad range — from refined international dishes to inventive vegetarian options — reflecting the creative style of the ship’s culinary team. The design and atmosphere of Weltmeere balance spaciousness with elegance. The dining hall is shaped to give a sense of openness while maintaining comfort, with aesthetic touches that distinguish it from a typical cruise-ship buffet hall. Because there is no fixed seating — tables are unassigned and guests can choose when and where to dine — it offers flexibility: you dine when you want, and for many tables there are two-person seats (ideal for couples), though larger tables are also available for groups. Weltmeere is open for major meals (typically breakfast and dinner), and is included in the cruise fare — there is no surcharge for dining there. This makes it the “default” dining venue for many passengers, especially for those who prefer a classic sit-down meal in a refined setting rather than buffet-style or casual dining options.

Restaurant Elements is the Asian-fusion / Asian-cuisine specialty restaurant designed with subtle Asian-inspired decor: decorative touches evoke the East, aiming for a stylish yet discreet ambience to match the cuisine. On the menu you can expect dishes drawing on Asian culinary traditions — the offerings are sometimes described as “Asian fusion,” combining influences from China, Vietnam, India or other regions, resulting in fresh, often lighter, exotic and artfully presented meals. Guests may find traditional soups, seafood or curry-style dishes, vegetarian options and other dishes. Elements Restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, its meals are included in the cruise fare, but making dinner reservations is recommended.

Restaurant Serenissima is an Italian specialty dining room featuring marble floors, tables dressed in white, and is lit by green Murano-glass chandeliers — creating a tasteful, somewhat romantic atmosphere reminiscent of an upscale Ristorante Italiano. Most tables offer ocean views through large windows, enhancing the dining experience with sea-view scenery. The cuisine focuses on regional Italian and traditional Mediterranean dishes, from antipasti through pasta and seafood specialties. Serenissima is open for lunch or dinner, and dinner reservations are required, especially on nights at sea. Serenissima is one of the complimentary restaurants, though drinks and extras may be billed separately.

Teens' Club is aimed at children aged roughly 11 to 15 years, forming the oldest age‑group in the ship’s childcare/club hierarchy (younger guests go to the “Knopf Club” for toddlers or “Kids Club” for younger children). Because of a redesign completed in 2017, the Teens’ Club has been moved to Deck 4 to make the teens’ space more private and separate from younger kids' facilities. At their club, teens have access to a range of amenities and entertainment options, including gaming consoles (Wii, PlayStation), table football (foosball), and communal “chill‑out” spaces designed for hanging out, socializing or gaming. On some cruises, organised activities for teens may include workshops (photo workshops) dance/hip‑hop courses, “teens excursions” ashore (for older kids). These are planned separately and (when offered) may be optional, for a fee. The club offers structured supervision by qualified childcare staff during pre‑defined supervising hours (typically morning through afternoon, and again later — roughly 9 AM–5 PM, and 6:30-9 PM) so that parents can have peace of mind while teenagers are engaged in peer‑oriented activities. Even outside the formal supervised hours, the teen club's rooms remain partially accessible, offering flexible hangout options.

Boutique / Jeweller is a retail shop, which combines a fashion‑/gift boutique with a jewelry shop. The boutique side offers a selection of men’s and women’s fashions, toiletries and personal‑care items, gifts, souvenirs and travel essentials. The jewelry shop offers quality timepieces, jewelry (including items set with diamonds or other precious stones), and luxury watches.

The Foyer is the ship’s Lobby Hall and guest‑service center designed to feel open and welcoming, with generous ceilings, elegant decor, premium lounge furniture and a central piano‑bar style atmosphere.

The 24‑hour Reception Desk and Concierge Desk assist passengers with everything from check‑in, land tour bookings, general onboard queries, luggage services, to practical matters like mail or newspaper requests and other guest services. 

Very close to the Reception is the Tour Office (aka Cruise Sales/Excursions Desk), where guests can arrange shore excursions, private tours, special outings (including custom tours), and get information about ports of call.

Because Deck 4 is also the Embarkation/Disembarkation deck, the Foyer and Reception area naturally serve as the central hub during boarding and disembarkation.

Restaurant Tarragon is a French‑style specialty restaurant (Cafe-Bistro) designed with an art‑deco brasserie ambiance: dark wood pillars, tile walls and seating upholstered in green leather or fabric. The food reflects French culinary traditions.

Grande Reserve is a dedicated wine‑bar/wine‑tasting & private‑dining venue where guests enjoy more exclusive, leisurely dining experiences. Wine tastings are guided by a professional sommelier, with wines drawn from the ship’s extensive cellar (MS Europa 2 is known for a large selection of international wines) and paired with dishes that complement the selected wines.

Piano Bar sits in the main Lobby/Foyer/Reception area. It is designed as a hotel‑style lounge: with comfortable upholstered seating, a cream‑coloured bar, and a grand piano that provides live music, typically gentle lounge‑ or cocktail‑style relaxing music. The Piano Bar is popular for pre‑dinner drinks or early evening cocktails. Its operating hours are somewhat limited: it opens around late morning/midday and closes at 10 PM.

Photo Shop is the ship’s photography centre. During the cruise, professional photographers roam the ship taking photos of passengers, for example, at embarkation, sail‑away, dinners, special events, formal nights, or at scenic moments. Later, at the Photo Shop guests can review, select, purchase printed photos or request digital copies of the photos.

Collins Bar (fka Herrenzimmer) was redesigned during a major refit. This is a sophisticated gin and cocktail lounge/club‑style venue rather than a casual poolside‑ or buffet‑bar. Collins offers the largest gin collection at sea, with around 45 different brands available. It also serves a wide variety of gin-based drinks and cocktails. The ambiance is elegant and relaxed, with warm colours, quality furnishings, and an aesthetic that evokes a refined but comfortable lounge. The bar's redesign introduced features like a record player with vinyl records (guests can choose music themselves) and an artwork by the artist pair Sutosuto. Collins also functions as a cigar bar/smoking‑friendly lounge (for cigars, pipes, etc.), which makes it one of the ship's few indoor smoking‑permitted venues.

Club 2 is a remodeled lounge/bar (occupying the space of the former Jazz Club) that was redesigned during the ship’s 2017 refit. As a lounge bar, Club 2 provides an intimate setting for evening socialising with a small stage, bar, and seating for around 60. Guests can enjoy drinks and light snacks while listening to live music or other entertainment. The venue’s lighting and mood are adaptable, with color and ambience changes often matched to the current cruise’s theme or itinerary. Because of its location (among the main lounges, bars and public zones), Club 2 is a convenient alternative to larger show‑theatre evenings or late‑night dance venues.

Theatre is the ship’s principal show lounge, functioning as the focal point for evening entertainment. It is a two‑level venue with a stage, modern lighting and sound systems, and a large LED backdrop that extends two stories. Throughout the voyage, the Theatre hosts a varied program of live performances: musicals, cabaret, dancing and acrobatics shows, concerts (from pop to classical), and sometimes vaudeville‑style performances or variety acts. On themed or “Unplugged” cruises, the venue also presents more intimate shows by guest artists. Despite being the main show lounge and capable of seating most of the passengers, the Theatre is designed to maintain a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere — the seating arrangement often uses banquettes and small tables rather than rigid theater rows, giving it the feeling of a lounge‑theatre hybrid.

The ship's tendering areas/stations are located on Deck 3 below.
