Your cabin With a range of activities onboard to excite all ages, you won’t be spending much time in your cabin! However check with your flight Centre consultant about which cabin you’d prefer, as some cabins go below sea level as the ship’s captain adjusts to go under bridges.

for a truly indulgent holiday, ask about ships that are built with private balconies that include a completely dedicated butler service!

Elevator or not? Be sure to ask your consultant if the ship has elevators between decks as not all ships do. all others require you to use stairs around the ship.
