NCL says travellers will live up every second of their journey in the most spacious accommodation including its largest inside, ocean view and balcony category staterooms.

This vessel offers the highest staffing levels and space ratio of any new cruise ship in the contemporary and premium cruise categories, as well as the largest variety of suite categories available at sea.
