Overview: Large floating leisure resort, one of the largest cruise ships afloat. The centre of the ship is dominated by the shopping arcade modeled on the Burlington Arcade in London, and the two internal atriums as high as 11 decks. The facilities aboard are second to none, and include an ice rink. The size of the ship precludes it from docking at many ports and islands, or from going through the Panama canal.

Suitable for:  Young couples and singles who like to mingle, and want plenty to do.

Cuisine. The main dining room is on several tiers, and serves an acceptable fare for a mass market passenger. There are plenty of alternative dining options - Cafe Promenade for pizzas and pastries; Windjammer Cafe for self service meals; Island Grill for Italian style meals; and Johnny Rockets for 1950s hamburger bar experience.

Spa facilities: There is a vast spa, the ShipShape Spa, with a gym, aerobics hall and treatment rooms. The spa is a concession run by Steiner.

Entertainment: The Lyric showroom seats 1,350 people for colourful lively shows.
