Choosing your cabin

We offer a variety of cabin types to cater to all preferences, from cosy havens to expansive suites. Here's a quick overview:

  • Inside cabins: ideal for those who plan on spending most of their time exploring the ship and its many activities. These comfortable cabins offer a tranquil retreat, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Plus, they’re budget-friendly!
  • Sea view cabins: as the name suggests, these cabins boast a window with a delightful vista of the ocean. Perfect for gazing out at the ever-changing seascapes and waking up to the gentle rhythm of the waves.
  • Balcony cabins: step outside and embrace the fresh sea air on your private balcony. Balcony cabins are perfect for those who want to soak up the sunshine, enjoy a breakfast al fresco or simply relax with a breathtaking ocean view.
  • Suites: indulge in unparalleled luxury with a spacious suite. Suites offer a separate sleeping area, a living area for relaxation, and they often boast a balcony for ocean views.

 

Comparing your options

Use our convenient comparison tool to compare up to four cruises. This will then allow you to compare all the details of each cruise side by side, including cabin price and availability. 

Please note we are always working to improve our website by testing new features and processes, therefore you're booking journey may differ from the steps in the article.

To delve deeper into each cabin type, once you've reached the cabin page within the booking flow, you will see a simple breakdown of each cabin where you can easily compare different features such as price, location, cabin benefits and size.

Here's what to consider:

  • Price: the cost of your cabin will depend on the type (Inside, Sea view, Balcony or Suite), size, location on the ship, and any special amenities offered such as butler service in the Suites. These prices are clearly highlighted when you come to select your cabin preference. 
  • Size: we provide approximate sizes for each cabin category on our website, but please note that sizes may vary slightly.
  • Cabin benefits: with each cabin comes a standard set of benefits. However, depending on the cabin type, cabins may include additional extras such as a butler, priority embarkation, and robes and slippers. 
  • Location: when choosing the Select Price, you can pick your specific cabin location. Use the ‘Room selector tool’ to help you compare and consider factors like proximity to lifts, public areas or quieter sections of the ship.

For a smoother journey, some guests prefer cabins in the middle of the ship (‘midship’) for less movement, while others enjoy higher decks for stunning panoramas.
