What she's like
Quiet and personal. Small enough for little harbours big ships can't use. About 242 tons of ship per guest. As a rule of thumb, 40 or more feels roomy and under 30 feels busy.
Unknown from line's site; shore guides in your language guaranteed if requested 60+ days ahead.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
All-suite with butler; two gourmet and two private-dining restaurants; eight bars with fine wines, spirits and soft drinks; 24-hour in-suite dining; entertainment, marina watersports, kids' club on select cruises; unlimited Starlink Wi-Fi; hammam and sauna. Extra: select wines/spirits, La Table fine dining, Guerlain Spa, shore experiences, flights and hotels.
Children 6 months-15 only on designated Family Voyages, sharing a suite with an adult; under-2s need a dedicated babysitter. Kids' Club 'Les Mousses'.
No strict code; 'Yacht Casual' most occasions; elegant attire recommended at La Table.
