There are as many as 15 price categories (rather a lot for a mid-sized ship). The price you pay will depend on the grade, location and size of the cabin.

There are five suites; these are of quite a decent size, and well designed, with plenty of space to move around in. Two of the suites are located forward, just under the navigation bridge, and command good views.

Most other cabins have ample room, are quite well appointed, and there is plenty of closet and drawer space. The top category cabins (on Bridge Deck and Promenade Deck) have a full bathtub, while all others have a shower enclosure (although many have obstructed views). None of the suites or cabins has a private balcony (the ship was built before private balconies came into vogue).

No matter what category of suites or cabin you choose, there is a television, telephone, personal safe and hairdryer in each. Some cabins have interconnecting doors, and some can accommodate a third/fourth person.
