According to Cruise Critic’s website, the ship is a “model of elegant and thoughtful design aimed at cruise passengers of all ages and walks of life.” The website states, “Fans of traditional cruising will appreciate the new flagship’s spectacular crow’s nest observation lounge, a well-appointed library, the Lincoln Center Stage, a venue for intermittent classical music, and a main dining room designed by star architect Adam Tihany, whose ambience and scale recalls the great ocean liners of yore.”

“More modern cruise guests, on the other hand, will be drawn to spectacular shows in the state-of-the-art World Stage theater with 270-degree views, party until the early hours in the lively Music Walk entertainment complex, work out and rejuvenate in a state-of-the-art fitness and spa area, and choose from an impressive range of bars and specialty restaurants included in the price (or at an additional cost).”
