The aft-located pool deck area has 1 rectangular swimming pool (size 260 ft2 / 24 m2, heated) with a sunbathing area (padded loungers) and a retractable glass roof. In the evenings, this area transforms into a cinema (movie theatre lounge). After dinner, the pool’s base rises and creates a floor. All sunloungers are rearranged to face a large screen pulled-down aft on the ship. During movie times passengers are provided with complimentary popcorn and blankets. The night cinema is free of charge (first-come-first-served basis).

The pool area also has its own Pool Bar (drinks cost extra) and a complimentary tea/coffee station. Horizon Deck’s pool area is another romantic place to enjoy the passing river scenery along the cruise ship's itinerary route.
