All passengers will select their own seats when purchasing tickets online. There are two classes of tickets for this cruise: Standard Seating and Premium Seating.
- Premium Seating includes seats that are most-desirable, including window seats, outdoor seats, and seats closer to entertainment. These seats are priced at a premium.
- Standard Seating is more affordable, and includes seats located toward the middle of the deck, in higher traffic areas, or may have partially obstructed views. As a courtesy, we also offer seats for those with mobility concerns as Standard Seats.
