There is one suite grade, four grades of outside-view cabins (one designated Deluxe), two grades of interior (no view) cabins. There are four cabins for the disabled (these are large, and have great forward-facing views). You can pre-book your preferred cabin for a per cabin fee of £30 (around US$50).

Most of the cabins are quite small (below the industry standard of 170 sq. ft/15.7 sq. meters). They are reasonably well appointed and practically laid out. Some have wood furniture, fittings, or accenting, good counter and storage space (but little drawer space), a large dressing mirror, and private bathrooms that are adequate, but no more. The top cabin categories (which are only marginally larger and should not really be called suites), have full-sized bathtubs while all others have showers. Several cabins have king- or queen-sized beds, although most have twin beds.

The largest accommodation is in the Presidential Suite (on Eagle Deck). Small by comparison to suites aboard many other ships, it measures 464 sq. ft (43.1 sq. meters) and is located on the uppermost accommodation deck. There is a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, wet bar, study and dining areas, television, VCR, and stereo system. The bathroom includes a whirlpool tub, double sink unit, and a separate powder room.

A number of cabins also have additional berths for a third/fourth person. Room service is provided 24 hours a day. All cabin TVs carry live news channels (when available). The cabin insulation is extremely poor, and the bathroom towels are small.
