Creator's Key Takeaways

The ship's journey as we witnessed began with its christening at Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

Colors and finishes are lighter and more cheery than before.

The Conings Dam's fun musical theme even begins here, where furnishings are very comfortable, and storage is plentiful.

Hands down, my favorite feature on board remains the Crow's Nest observation lounge with its wild styling, but especially its forward-facing views of the passing scenery.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Try the veranda stateroom for a comfortable and well-designed accommodation.
βœ“Visit the Crow's Nest observation lounge for forward-facing views.
βœ“Enjoy the culinary art center for interactive dining experiences.
