Checked: 2026-07-03

### Boarding and logistics

- Japan departures: No
- Home ports: Miami (Florida, United States; PortMiami)
- Departure ports: Miami

### Atmosphere and guests

- All ages
- Its eight-neighborhood layout makes use of one of the world's largest hulls, with a lively, active atmosphere featuring a water park and skywalk-style attractions. It is family-oriented, while also offering adults-only areas for guests aged 18 and over, including The Hideaway and Swim & Tonic.
- On Caribbean cruises from North America, both families and couples board in broad numbers. Demand for the new ship means bookings tend to fill early.

Six Wärtsilä multi-fuel engines use LNG (liquefied natural gas) as the main fuel, reducing SOx and particulate emissions to nearly zero and CO2 emissions by about 25% compared with conventional heavy fuel oil. The ship also has a waste-heat recovery system and air lubrication technology, which reduces friction using bubbles beneath the hull.
