- Mid-sized ships that offer a more intimate and less crowded atmosphere
- Enhanced onboard amenities, such as higher-quality restaurants, spacious cabins, and well-appointed public spaces
- More inclusive fares with certain amenities like specialty dining and some beverages included
- A focus on destination immersion, offering more extended port stays and unique itineraries
- Entertainment options that strike a balance between family-friendly and more sophisticated shows and events
