The 2026 season emphasizes seasonal spectacles - such as Cherry Blossom voyages in Japan and "Green Season" explorations in Southeast Asia. Onboard, the focus has pivoted to "wellness as the new luxury," featuring integrated medical spas and "S.A.L.T." (Sea and Land Taste) culinary programs that bring local flavours like Penang's street food and Tokyo's omakase directly to the ship's dining rooms.
