Relax to the max on Royal Caribbean's latest cruise ship
A cruise is easily the most relaxing way to travel. Picture the scene: you, sitting in a sun-soaked swimming pool on deck, cocktail in hand, as the Mediterranean coastline slips past and another glorious day at sea comes to a laid-back close. Royal Caribbean's new ship Legend of the Seas, which is set to launch in the Mediterranean in summer 2026, will be decked out for relaxation, featuring seven separate swimming pools and a whopping 10 whirlpools scattered around the ship. So, which waterside spot will you choose first? Those travelling with children will want to make a beeline for the Water's Edge pool at the heart of the family-oriented Surfside neighbourhood. Here, parents can cool off while the kids play in the fountains and under the splash buckets of Splashaway Bay, while for the smallest sailors there's Baby Bay, a baby and toddler splash pad that's suitable even for children still in nappies. Even better, there are uninterrupted ocean views from across this area, which is perched atop the stern on deck seven, and you'll find kid-friendly snacks right alongside, at Surfside Bites. Alternatively, head a little higher, up to the Royal Bay pool on deck 15. This vast family-friendly oasis offers plenty of in-water loungers for a soak in the sunshine as well as two raised whirlpools overlooking all the action. Also on deck 15, you'll find the smaller and more laid-back Cove pool, featuring comfortable in-water chairs and an infinity edge for incredible ocean views – this is a cracking spot for enjoying a cocktail or two from The Lime and Coconut bar just a few steps away. Or what about a swim-up bar at sea? On deck 16 you'll find Swim & Tonic, where seats at the bar are submerged in the pool and a line-up of in-water loungers circles the edge. Swim up and order a cocktail, or perhaps take it over to the adjacent whirlpool, to relax in warmer, bubblier waters. You can also enjoy a drink in the pool at Cloud 17, its waters and cushioned loungers right beside another outpost of The Lime and Coconut bar, while suite guests can relax in the VIP-only The Grove Suite Sun Deck on decks 18 and 19. Here you'll find swinging poolside day beds and panoramic ocean views across the two decks, and though the whole family is welcome, access is only for those staying in a suite. If you prefer somewhere just for adults, head to the stern end of deck 15 and the Hideaway. Inspired by the beach clubs of Mallorca and Mykonos, this chilled-out spot is home to a resident DJ and there are classy, cushioned loungers dotted across its waters. Swim towards the edge of the ship here and look down – you'll be staring straight at the ocean, from a suspended infinity pool some eight stories up. And there are two whirlpools and a bar up here to boot. On Legend of the Seas, that chill-out mood is woven into the whole experience, and you'll quickly discover that your stateroom is an onboard haven of serenity; the perfect place to retreat to after a day of exploring. Many of the rooms offer stunning ocean views that will elevate your sense of wellbeing: from the Spacious Infinite Balcony rooms, where your living space becomes a sea-gazing balcony at the touch of a button, to the floor-to-ceiling vistas offered by the Panoramic Ocean View rooms, you can expect tranquility blended with the comfort of home. If you want to experience the ultimate zen state, upgrade to a Sunset Corner Suite, where the wrap-around balconies deliver an endless horizon of heavenly blue in all directions. Bliss.

Migrants run across beach to board dinghy in the Channel
Migrants ran into the water to board a dinghy on the French coastline before setting off across the English Channel. Pictures and video captured by the PA news agency show dozens of people sprinting in shallow water before climbing onto a boat at Gravelines beach on Thursday morning. French authorities in an inflatable boat out at sea approached the overcrowded dinghy, passing those on board lifejackets. No police were seen on the beach when the groups of people came out of the sand dunes and attempted to board the black inflatable boat. PA first saw one boat drop off several men at around 5am, who went into the sand dunes, before a second boat came close to shore, circling until the migrants appeared on the beach. The people, including a family with two children, put themselves into groups before trying to climb onto the boat. Around 40 people, believed to be about half of the full group, left on the dinghy. More than 22,500 people have arrived in the UK after making the journey across the Channel so far this year.
