Creator's Key Takeaways

The result is a ship that feels remarkably uncrowded, with plenty of quiet spaces and personalized service.

The menu changes every day and the quality of the food throughout my sailing was consistently excellent.

The accommodations are spacious, the dining is excellent, the public spaces are beautifully designed, and the service is among the best I've ever experienced at sea.

If you're looking for water slides, huge theater productions, and non-stop entertainment, then this is not the right ship for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Visit the bridge to take a look around as they have an open bridge policy.
✓If you want to see the helicopter taking off, the view through the window on Deck 8 is better than the top deck.
✓Check out the observation terrace on Deck 5 for unobstructed views over the bow.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Entertainment expectations — Don't expect Broadway-style productions; the entertainment is intentionally low-key, focusing on lectures and enrichment.
Ship size and crowds — The ship is designed for a small number of guests, resulting in a high space-to-guest ratio and uncrowded feeling.
