Cruise cabins from 4000 to 4071, all of which are French Balcony staterooms in categories Deluxe Nordic Balcony (DN1), Nordic Junior Suites (NS, NSA - ADA/handicap), and Nordic Penthouse Suites (NP).

Lifts and staircase access - four Atrium Lifts (glass-walled elevators) connect all decks. A 5th Lift (aft) interconnects all cabin decks.

Explorers Lounge (lower level 1 of 2) is a bow-facing, 2-deck-high, circular-shaped, glass-covered, and walled indoor observation lounge (observatory-type, with wraparound windows). In the evenings, Explorers Lounge hosts live performances by resident musicians (pianist, guitarist, classical trio).

The lounge is served by its own bar (Explorers Bar is on Deck 5) and has a small terrace (open-air seating area).
