Join us for Movie Night at PoBS 🎬🍿
Grab your crew, sit back, and enjoy the big screen at sea 🌊

Capture a moment of your journey to take back to shore.

There is something timeless about a message sent across the sea. In this activity, we’re bringing that old-world tradition to life. We invite you to take a moment away from the excitement of the deck to handwrite a small letter perhaps a note to your future self, a memory from this voyage, or a secret wish.

Once your message is written, you’ll roll it into a scroll, sea
