What it's like
- A mid-size ship: you'll feel more movement than on the giants when the sea is rough.
- About average room per guest for a cruise ship.
- Refreshed recently (2026), so it has many of the line's newest features.
- A kids' club for families, plus adults-only space for a quieter escape.
Highlights: Traditional casual mid-sized vessel featuring relaxed open-air pool decks, golf driving nets, and classic enrichment lectures.

Where to book your cabin
- For the least motion, choose a cabin low and in the middle of the ship (midship), near the central elevators.
- For quiet, avoid cabins directly under the pool deck, buffet, theater or nightclub, and right beside the elevators or service areas.
- Cabins at the very front feel the most pitching in rough seas; cabins at the very back can feel some vibration from the engines.
- Some balcony cabins have partly blocked views (lifeboats, for example); the deck plan marks them, so check before you book.
