Glide into what Marlene Dietrich called 'the most beautiful casino in the world' — a gilded Second Empire marvel where Dostoyevsky lost his fortune and Europe's aristocracy played for centuries. An exclusive evening here, in black tie, is pure old-world grandeur.
What to expect
The casino's interiors rival Versailles: hand-painted ceilings, crystal chandeliers, crimson damask walls, and the hushed gravitas of serious play. A guided tour by an official Casino historian illuminates the stories of Dostoyevsky, Kaiser Wilhelm, and Marlene Dietrich within these very rooms. In the evening, dress to the nines — jacket required for gentlemen — and take a seat at roulette or baccarat tables as a chandelier-lit orchestra of elegance unfolds around you. The bar programme features rare German wines and Champagne.
Good to know
Daytime guided tours run at 9:30 AM and are the only way to see the grandest rooms before gaming begins at 2 PM. Evening dress code is strict: jacket and tie for gentlemen, elegant attire for ladies — bring appropriate clothing from the ship. Passport or photo ID required for entry. Casino is a 10-minute walk from the town centre.
