Sunlight Grand is fully equipped with high-class amenities such as a luxurious restaurant with a rich seafood buffet menu, a modern bar, a spacious sundeck and especially a four-season swimming pool - a highlight that not all ships have.
The 6-hour day trip on the Sunlight Grand Cruise is also extremely attractive.
