This 122,000 tonne ship accommodates 2852 passengers over 14 passenger decks and features 3 swimming pools (one indoor in a solarium) and 12 restaurants.She underwent a refresh in 2016 and is due to undergo a major refurbishment in March 2026 ready for the summer 2026 season cruising in Alaska. The Lawn Club will be replaced with a sunbathing area featuring Cabanas, Hot Tubs and a larger bar and will be renamed Sunset Park.
