- Fewer guests per crew member generally means more attentive service; mainstream ships are typically around 2.5 to 3.
- Age: 26 years since delivery
- Counted from the 2000 delivery year in the specification table below.
- Length: 181 m (594 ft)
- Overall length, which is what determines the berths and locks a ship can physically use.
