Entire areas of the ship were redesigned, introducing new dining venues, entertainment spaces, and social hubs that transformed guest flow and onboard energy. Staterooms were refreshed with updated furnishings, improved lighting, and modernized finishes. Public spaces received extensive redesigns with new décor and enhanced functionality.
